Introducing the Akatsuki Spirit-Sealing Ninja Nagi, a Black(!) rarity Ninja. She is a melee slot ranged attacker that comes with stat-multiplying skill, that sets her apart of her fellow "free" Black rarity ninja Saki, as Saki's is assassination. This skill allows Akatsuki Nagi pack quite a punch with ninja's usual high speed, and as multipliers cover not only attack but defense and HP as well, makes her a competent dueler should need arise. To compensate for that, her overall stats are lower than Saki's (with exception of defense).
As a true Black, she has a passive ability pre-Awakening - that being an additional multiplier to attack against Yokai enemies, and Awakening strengthens it to x1.4. Considering how Yokai are not only hound Eastern story maps, but also going to be pretty popular enemies in future events and Total Dominations (not to mention having a Majin (endgame super-hard challenge map set) presence), that gives her some useful niche.
Skill Awakening, whenever it happens on our side, strengthens multiplier to x2, adds +30 MR and extends duration from 30 to 45 seconds, at the cost of paralysis in the end and only being useful once.
Oh, and there will be an class update some three years in the future, where all ninjas will lose the block. Nagi has the distinction of being one of two ninjas that still can block there, under skill effects. That turns her into a gatekeeper, expanding the niches she has a bit. (Second blocker ninja? Hien, a Gold male TP unit, with his Skill Awakening)

Comments about the event
A proper Item Collection event at last! And for Black rarity unit at this!! ..Ninja, admittedly) And while there's always Saki, her and Nagi do have different niches. Saki is a mob shredder, with extra attack speed passive, assassination skill and future Skill Awakening allowing her to hit (and kill) up to three targets in range at the same time. Nagi, on the other hand, lacks assassination but brings the firepower and girth, allowing her to single out and kill tougher enemies, even dueling them should need arise. Doubly so in the future where ninjas lose their block and Nagi is one of two who can be given one, turning her in the gatekeeper as well. And as her passive increases attack versus Youkai type enemies, her ability to deal with them is undeniable.
...For some strange reason, our side have stamina costs of maps revised, giving best map in particular an astonishing discount from 90/12 to 100/2, so with enough luck (and if they won't fix that) you should be able to perfect Nagi with little next to no investment (1474 seals from natural charisma regeneration as charisma is the bottleneck here, assuming 100% drop rate). Still, Nagi's the unit that can be safely skipped. But should you decided to commit, commit all the way!
On the event itself, say hello to the Supreme Commander of all Youkai, a new face on the roster of recurring villains for us to fight. He and his youkai pack both magic resistance and defense, so pack some punch to deal with them. Thankfully, fodder only have around 20-30% MR, so mages can still work well, but Nurarihyon himself have formidable 50% MR, so kill him with pointy implements, and kill him fast, as his mere presence buffs all enemy youkai by x1.5. Other big threat, that big fat demon spider thing, on the other hand, have pitiful 10% MR, but formidable 1000 defense, so magic it is for him). Both hit hard, so you might want to give them a real armored wall to beat onto. Before the boss, maps are pretty rushy, if not particularly big on mobs, so ration your initial UP well and bring some fast deployment options.
Farming (Seal Talismans) is best done on high-cost maps, with last being best. Both 50/5 variants are not too shabby as well, so if you happen to need their drops, go for em! (just add a SC or two more)
On a silver farming front, here's a run-down of possible drops:
- Soldier (Rosalie) (map 2);
- Rogue (Harissa) (map 3);
- Mage (Valerie) (map 3);
- Ninja (Kagero) (map 4).
- Archer (Lauren) (map 6);
- Samurai (Sanosuke) (map 7).
There's also tin can on map 4, 3 DC on map 6 and Christia on map 8.
