Masamoto is an Epic Spirit Defense champion from the Shadowkin faction, added during the 2021 Christmas Fusion Event. He fills a supportive niche as one of relatively few champions able to buff team Defense while also accelerating ally Turn Meters.
Core Strengths & Abilities
Defense & Turn Meter Support: Yojimbo (A3) places a 60% Increase DEF buff on the whole team and fills all allies' Turn Meters by 15%, making him a solid enabler for AoE Defense-scaling nukers like Soulless or Tatura Rimehide.
Wave-Wide Debuff: Steel Typhoon (A2) hits all enemies with a 50% chance (75% booked) to apply a 50% Decrease ATK debuff, offering reasonably reliable team protection in Faction Wars and progression content.
Key Weaknesses
Book-Hungry Kit: Fully maxing his abilities takes 15 skill tomes, and his basic attack, Dual Slice, offers little value even when booked, meaning tomes are best spent on his A2 and A3 while skipping the A1 entirely.
Masamoto's respectable ratings in Ice Golem, Dragon, and Spider mark him as a useful, if unremarkable, Defense-support Epic for progression teams and Faction Wars.
