Minasumari Skill Analysis

Wildcat Hunt

Live for Revenge

Minasumari's Wildcat Hunt and Live for Revenge excel at dealing high physical damage, especially at higher levels. Wildcat Hunt even deals bonus damage to Sniper-type enemies and has a chance to slow them down. Live for Revenge scales its damage even higher based on how many times your team is attacked, rewarding aggressive play.

However, both skills target randomly, which can be unreliable, and Live for Revenge's best damage requires your team to take some hits first.

Gentle Fox Cub

Memory of Red and White

Gentle Fox Cub grants Stealth to Minasumari and her strongest ally, allowing them to avoid attacks for a while. It lasts longer at higher levels and even grants a shield at level 3, but the Stealth disappears if she falls below half HP and the shield only blocks one attack every few turns.

Memory of Red and White gives Minasumari a massive attack boost whenever an ally falls, making her a powerhouse later in the fight. The buff gets even stronger at higher levels and can't be removed by enemies, but it relies on allies sacrificing themselves first. This means she might be vulnerable at the beginning of the fight.

Ultimately, these skills offer different strengths. Gentle Fox Cub focuses on strategic options with some survivability, while Memory of Red and White is all about boosting her attack after allies fall.

Witches to Beat Minasumari

Minasumari Hard Counters

Priscilla

Her Holy Torch (Lv 3) dispels multiple debuffs from your team, potentially removing any debilitating effects Minasumari might inflict. The critical hit chance on this skill adds even more dispel potential. On top of that, Priscilla offers healing support with Holy Torch (Lv 1 & 2) and Shining Shower (Lv 1 & 3), keeping your team healthy throughout the fight. Shining Shower (Lv 2 & 4) further enhances survivability by granting regeneration to healed allies. Priscilla herself is quite tanky thanks to A Promise Kept (Lv 1 & 3) which significantly boosts her max HP and M.DEF. Prisoner in the Tower (Lv 2) adds another layer of defense, offering a situational debuff cleanse and HP recovery for an ally if Priscilla is targeted by a debuff-inflicting active skill. Overall, Priscilla's combination of dispels, healing, buffs, and her own durability make her a strong asset against Minasumari.

Veela

Her core strength lies in consistent debuff application. Undine's high chance to inflict ATK reduction directly weakens Minasumari's damage output. Nixie's stacking slow can significantly hinder enemy actions, potentially disrupting Minasumari's entire strategy. Veela even capitalizes on these debuffs with Nixie's bonus damage against slowed enemies. Just the Two of Us allows Veela to dispel debuffs from herself when her health falls low, potentially removing any debilitating effects Minasumari might inflict, and provides a shield for additional defense at higher levels. By reducing Minasumari's damage output, slowing her down, and removing debuffs from herself, Veela significantly disrupts Minasumari's effectiveness.

Minasumari Sample Counter Teams

Offensive Neutralizer Team

Debuffer	Debuffer	Buffer	Attacker	Buffer
Primavera	Mimi	Fenrir	Tainted Iris	Merlyn

Primavera can potentially disable her with Fainted or remove her Stealth with Buff Immunity. Iris can deal massive damage and reduce her ATK, while Merlyn can cleanse debuffs and keep your team healthy. Mimi can potentially buff her own ATK to keep up with Minasumari's damage. Overall, this team has tools to shut down Minasumari's strengths and survive her attacks.

Durable Disabling Team

Buffer	Debuffer	Attacker	Debuffer	Healer
Priscilla	Tropon	Primavera	Soltina	Fortina

A strong team composition to counter Minasumari utilizes Primavera as a high DPS dealer, Tropon to dispel her stealth buff, and Soltina to inflict sleep and fainted debuffs. Fortina remains a key member providing shields, regeneration, and buffs to bypass enemy disables. Priscilla brings a set of counters: dispelling debuffs with Holy Torch, keeping the team healthy with Holy Torch and Shining Shower, and boosting survivability with regeneration and max HP buffs. This team retains its core strengths with Priscilla offering additional dispels, healing, and survivability.

Witches Not To Use Against Minasumari

Cordie

Cordie can be a decent damage dealer against Minasumari, especially if you can keep her alive and focus her attacks. However, the reliance on random targeting, self-buffs, and low health conditions makes her less than ideal. Given that Minasumari can inflict a guaranteed hit on Sniper-types, it might be less useful to bring her to the team. If you have other options available, a more reliable counter might be preferable.

Dian

Dian's skills offer a mix of damage and support, but their effectiveness against Minasumari depends on the situation. Piercing Shot's DoT and Cursed Bullet's high damage can be useful, but both rely on random targeting and strategic HP management. Heart of Servitude's evasion buff might not be the most effective defense against all of Minasumari's attacks.

Tips for Beating Minasumari

Use a Dispeller

Choose to add in a character that can remove Stealth from Minasumari. This can hinder Minasumari's strategy.

Eliminate Minasumari in the Early Stages of the Battle

Her skills Wildcat Hunt and Live for Revenge can inflict serious damage so make sure to eliminate her before she is able to use her skills.

As Much As Possible Use Only Few Snipers

Minasumari's skill Wildcat Hunt deals bonus damage and guarantees a hit against Sniper-type enemies. If you're going to use Sniper-type characters, have another attacker that is a non-Sniper-type to inflict damage to Minasumari.
