Overview

Shuichi is an extremely powerful debuffing unit that massively increases the survivability of your team by debilitating the enemy's ability to deal damage. He can cause Dazzle, dramatically lowering enemy ATK for multiple turns, and his CS causes Possessed, causing enemies to attack each other rather than your team for one turn. Not only does this functionally negate damage to your team for one turn, but your enemies might kill each other for you while Possessed!

Highlights

Class: Disruptive Support

Gameplay Role: Debuffer

Pros

+ Can remove enemy buffs

+ Can mitigate enemy damage with Dazzle and Possessed

+ Greatly increases your team's damage output with Weakness and Possessed

Cons

- Low direct damage output

- Very reliant on skill activation percentages

- His utility is gutted in his ☆3 version due to having 0.45x ATK penaltySlash range as opposed to 0.28x ATK penaltyMagic range, preventing him from debuffing long-range enemies and attenuating their damage

Skill Seeds increase the likelihood of Shuichi's potent debuffs proccing, which is by far the most important aspect of the character to maximize, so prioritize those first. After that, increasing his HP allows him to stay in the fight and debuff longer, making HP and Level Seeds the next best choice. Shuichi's direct damage is of minimal importance, really, so ATK Seeds are probably better spent on other characters instead.

Team Synergy

Characters with Insight

Characters who can apply Insight to Shuichi to increase the proc rate of his skills greatly increase his efficiency and reliability. The Starshine skill of Pollux, Shinya, or Taurus Mask can be perfect for this.

Characters with CP increase

Possibly Shuichi's most powerful tool is his CS, since Possessed is such a monstrously powerful debuff. Characters that can further increase Shuichi's rate of CP gain, such as Claude or Hanuman using Head of Festivities, are perfect companions for this reason.

Characters who can cure ailments

Because so much of Shuichi's power is tied to his skills, getting tagged with Bind makes him deadweight on a team. Having somebody like Taurus Mask or Makara who can remove Bind may be a good idea when running Shuichi in your team.

Duo

Duo's Spinner of Fate (3-Star) or Fount of Wisdom (5-Star) skills combine Insight and CP Increase into a single skill that can activate every time Duo attacks. This makes Duo the perfect unit to support and enable Shuichi's talents... much to Shuichi's delight and Duo's displeasure.
