Arashi the Riptide is a Legendary Spirit HP champion from the Shadowkin faction, a Nautical Assassin who rules the seas around the Kingdom of Yakai. He is a specialist damage dealer who snowballs through kills, built for content with multiple killable enemies such as Arena, Siege, and The Cursed City.
Core Strengths & Abilities
Kill-Scaling AoE: His A3, Riptide's Onslaught (4-turn booked cooldown), grants him Perfect Veil and a 30% Increase Crit Damage buff before attacking all enemies. It deals single-target damage to each enemy individually — bypassing AoE-reduction passives like Duchess Lilitu's or the Hydra's — ignoring 15% of the first target's DEF and 5% more per subsequent hit, while each kill raises his HP by 5%.
Stone Skin Breaker: His A2 ignores 25% of the target's DEF plus Shield and Strengthen buffs, and even ignores Stone Skin while he is under a Veil. Since his passive grants Perfect Veil at the start of each round, he can open on a Stone Skin target immediately; a kill extends all his buffs by 1 turn.
Punishing Passive: Pirate Lord gives a 20% chance to reflect all damage and debuffs back at attackers — a reflect kill refills 30% Turn Meter and reapplies Perfect Veil.
Key Weaknesses
Needs Kills to Shine: Against single bosses his kill-scaling stalls, reflected in modest Clan Boss, Iron Twins, and Amius ratings.
Arashi excels in Arena above all, with solid showings in Dragon and Hydra.
