Release2.0

The sleepy Shuumatsuban ninja is an Anemo healer and Swirl support: her Burst heals the party and summons the Muji-Muji Daruma, while her Skill rolls her through enemies to Swirl elements. She lacks the power of top Anemo supports, but she is cheap, heals, carries Viridescent Venerer and is unbeatable for exploring.

Guide

How to play

How she works

Yoohoo Art: Fuuin Dash (Skill): tap rolls a short distance and ends in a Fuufuu Whirlwind Kick; hold keeps her rolling for up to 10s with higher interruption resistance, absorbing Hydro, Pyro, Cryo or Electro for extra elemental damage. The longer she rolls, the longer the cooldown.
Yoohoo Art: Mujina Flurry (Burst, 80 Energy) deals Anemo DMG, heals the party based on her ATK and summons the Muji-Muji Daruma: it attacks enemies when your HP is above 70%, and heals the active character with the lowest HP otherwise.
Someone More Capable (A1): triggering a Swirl or Stellar Swirl while on-field heals the party for 300 HP + 1.2 HP per point of EM (once every 2s).
No Work Today! (A4): the Daruma's healing also splashes 20% to nearby characters, and its attacks hit a wider area.

Rotation

Off-field healer: Q (and a tap E for particles), then swap to your DPS.
On-field Swirl driver: Q, then hold E and roll through enemies to Swirl the elements your off-field teammates apply.

Before C1, the Daruma either heals or attacks, never both. At C6 its damage and healing scale with her EM.

Strengths

Healing and Viridescent Venerer shred in one 4-star slot
Very fast exploration with her rolling Skill
Her A1 and C4 also work with Stellar Swirl
Cheap to build and to constellate

Weaknesses

Weak endgame impact next to Sucrose, Kazuha or the newer Anemo supports
80-Energy Burst: high Energy Recharge needs
Split ATK/EM scaling before C6, and the Daruma cannot heal and attack together before C1

Notable dupes · Constellation

Big upgrade

The Daruma ignores HP thresholds and heals while attacking: her most important constellation.

Optional

Restores 1.2 Energy on each on-field Swirl or Stellar Swirl (once every 2s): lowers ER needs.

Big upgrade

The Daruma's damage and healing scale with her EM (up to 400% ATK and 6,000 HP): her second-best constellation.
