Release1.3

Tsukishiro Yanagi is an Electric Anomaly Agent built around Disorder. Her EX Special Attack raises the Disorder DMG multiplier of the whole squad by 250% and triggers Polarity Disorders on its own, without clearing the enemy's current Anomaly. She works as a quick in-and-out Sub DPS next to Miyabi, or as an on-field Anomaly DPS, and remains a solid pick in Disorder teams.

Fusion Compiler
S · PEN Ratio
Grace's signature: she spams Specials to switch stances, so its Anomaly Proficiency stacks stay up. Game8's second choice.
ATK +12%; Special and EX Special Attacks grant +25 Anomaly Proficiency for 8s, up to 3 stacks.
Weeping Gemini
A · ATK%
Craftable A-Rank and Prydwen's go-to alternative: its ATK and Anomaly Proficiency make her Polarity Disorders hit hard, very close to her signature in their calculations.
Each Attribute Anomaly inflicted by the squad grants +30 Anomaly Proficiency (up to 4 stacks) until the target recovers from Stun or is defeated.
Electro-Lip Gloss
A · Anomaly Proficiency
A-Rank from the City Fund: always active since enemies should always carry an Anomaly, but behind Weeping Gemini.
While an enemy suffers an Attribute Anomaly, ATK +10% and +15% DMG against those targets.

F2P option: Anomaly Proficiency main stat and ATK stacks from spending Energy.
Every 10 Energy spent grants ATK +2.5% for 10s, up to 10 stacks.

Drive Discs

Chaos Jazz ×4
Feathered Fate ×2
Prydwen's top all-rounder: her EX triggers most of her Polarity Disorders, and Chaos Jazz's bonus carries over when she swaps in. Freedom Blues works as the 2-piece too.
Set effects
2pAnomaly Proficiency +30
4pFire DMG and Electric DMG increases by 15%. While off-field, EX Special Attack and Assist Attack DMG increases by 20%. When switching on-field, this buff continues for 5s, and this continuation effect can trigger once every 7.5s.
2pAnomaly Proficiency +30
Feathered Fate ×4
Chaos Jazz ×2
No-maintenance option: flat Anomaly Proficiency, which her Disorders scale with. She can't use the Lumiflux bonus, but it's still just as strong in Disorder teams.
Set effects
2pAnomaly Proficiency +30
4pWhen the equipper enters the battlefield or is switched in as the active character, they gain the following buff: Anomaly Proficiency increases by 50. If the equipper is a Lumiflux character, Attribute Anomaly DMG increases by 15%, lasting 15s. This buff remains active while the equipper is off-field.
2pAnomaly Proficiency +30
Freedom Blues ×4
Chaos Jazz ×2
Best with Velina (Wind teams): more Anomaly Buildup means more Vortexes, which beats a small DMG bonus.
Set effects

Game8's pick: ATK +28% while an enemy is Shocked. Best in Electric-heavy teams that keep Shock up.

Teams

Recommended teams

Section 6: Miyabi & Yuzuha

Yanagi's most used team in the current Shiyu Defense, and Game8's top pick. Frost and Shock bounce Disorders back and forth, and every Disorder gives Miyabi Fallen Frost. Bangboo: Agent Gulliver, whose bonus needs two Section 6 members.

Lumiflux: Remielle & Velina

Her highest-scoring team in both Shiyu Defense and Deadly Assault. Velina lowers Anomaly Buildup RES and triggers Vortexes, and Remielle refracts Yanagi's Shocks. Bangboo: Ariel (bonus with Remielle).

Nangong Yu & Yuzuha

Prydwen's favourite pairing: Nangong's Stuns let Yanagi save her EXs for Stun windows, and her high Anomaly Buildup keeps Disorders going. For a budget mono-Electric version, Game8 suggests Seth and Rina with Plugboo. Bangboo here: Magnetiboo.

Guide

How to play

Stances

  • Yanagi switches between two stances, Jougen (Electric DMG +10%) and Kagen (PEN Ratio +10%), every time she uses her Special or EX Special Attack. Each bonus lingers for 8s after you leave the stance, so switch often to keep both.
  • Using her Special right after the 3rd, 4th or 5th Basic Attack hit is faster, blocks damage and loops straight back to the 3rd hit.
  • Additional Ability (another Anomaly Agent or an Electric Agent in the squad): after a stance switch, her Basic Attack hits gain +45% Electric Anomaly Buildup for 8s.

EX Special Attack: Gekka Ruten

  • It raises the Disorder DMG multiplier by 250% for any squad member for 15s, and her Electric DMG by 20% against the target.
  • On an enemy already suffering an Anomaly, its downward strike (and her Ultimate) triggers a Polarity Disorder: a smaller Disorder that doesn't consume the current Anomaly. That's how she deals damage even in mono-Electric teams.
  • After it, she enters Shinrabanshou for 15s, and her Basic Attack string restarts from the 3rd hit.

In practice

  • Sub DPS (with Miyabi): keep her EX buff up before every Disorder. Come in, EX, a few Basic Attacks, swap out.
  • On-field DPS: alternate Special → Basic 3-4-5 → Special to keep both stances and the +45% Buildup up, and spend Energy on EXs when the target has an Anomaly.
  • Save her Ultimate for when the enemy has an Anomaly and all her buffs are active.

Strengths

  • Boosts every Disorder in the squad and triggers Polarity Disorders on her own.
  • Flexible: quick in-and-out Sub DPS or sustained on-field DPS.
  • Cheap EX Special Attack (40 Energy) and good F2P W-Engine options.
  • Fits many Anomaly teams, especially with Miyabi, Nangong Yu or Remielle.

Weaknesses

  • Lots of short buffs to track (two stances, EX buff, Additional Ability).
  • Her damage drops a lot outside Disorder teams.
  • Her performance depends heavily on having her best teammates.
