Release4.2

Danzai Spectramancer is Mei's MECH-type Physical katana user, the v4.2 augment core of the A-rank Shadow Dash. She summons Bunshin Specters from the enemy's position, marks targets with Sword Scar, and lets her teammates' Charged ATKs call extra specters. She was a Part 1 Physical support that never had much impact, and with no Astral Ring she is outdated in 9.0: a fun battlesuit for the Elysian Realm and older content.

Teams

Recommended teams

Legacy Physical (Herrscher of Sentience)

Bright Knight: Excelsis
Danzai Spectramancer
Herrscher of Sentience

Herrscher of Sentience impairs enemies, which triggers Danzai's QTE: she comes in, applies Sword Scar and casts her Ultimate, then Bright Knight: Excelsis cashes in the Kagenai Recharges with her Javelins (Charged ATKs). A kit-based Part 1 team with no Astral Ring, only for older content.

Budget A-rank supports (Bright Knight: Excelsis)

Bright Knight: Excelsis
Danzai Spectramancer
Starlit Astrologos

Bright Knight: Excelsis' Javelin is a Charged ATK, so it cashes in Danzai's Kagenai Recharges, and Sword Scar stacks with her Physical buffs. Only for older content in 9.0.

Guide

How to play

Munen and Shinkage Flash

  • Basic ATK SEQ 2-5 and her Ultimate Evasion (+100) fill Munen Focus (max 200); from augment core 5★ she also regenerates 12 Munen per second on standby.
  • Her Combo ATK Shinkage Flash summons Bunshin Specters from the enemy's position: 2 specters at 100 Munen, or 4 at 200 Munen, and at 200 you can tap [ATK] again for Shinkage II (400% ATK of Physical DMG).
  • Hangeki Reprisal: after her dash evasion lands, hold [ATK] to cast Shinkage Flash for free (CD 10s).

Ultimate: Tsukiyo's Spectramancy

  • For 75 SP (CD 20s), she charges through enemies and impales them with 6 specters. The Ultimate grants 3 Kagenai Recharges, shared by the team: each Shinkage I spends one for +50% damage.
  • From augment core 4★, teammates' Charged ATKs also spend a Kagenai Recharge to summon 2 specters (600% ATK each, credited to her), refresh Sword Scar and give her 15 SP, and her Ultimate gives the team +15% Physical DMG for 18s.
  • From 2★, Shinkage Flash applies Sword Scar (enemies take 10% more Physical DMG for 18s, and 25% more from her).

How to use her

  1. Swap in (her QTE triggers on Time-Slowed or impaired enemies) and cast Shinkage Flash to apply Sword Scar.
  2. Cast her Ultimate for the Kagenai Recharges and the Physical DMG buff.
  3. Swap back to a DPS whose Charged ATKs can cash in the recharges.

Her leader skill gives the team up to 21% Crit Rate above 80% HP. Marisa Impact sums her up as fun to play but never very impactful as a support.

Strengths

  • Flashy specter-based kit with free Shinkage Flashes after evasions.
  • Team buffs: Sword Scar, +15% Physical DMG and Crit Rate from her leader skill.
  • Cheap to start: Shadow Dash comes from Expedition and the Open World, her augment materials from the Asterite Shop.
  • Her signature katana Nue of the Shadow is in the Exchange Shop.

Weaknesses

  • No Astral Ring and weak support value even in her era (Marisa Impact).
  • Her best support skills need augment core 4★, which requires Shadow Dash at SS.
  • Her synergy needs a teammate who spams Charged ATKs.
  • Marisa Impact advises farming Valkyrie Blastmetal first with the same Asterite.
