【The Witch of Dreams】Kaguya Skill Analysis

Kyouka Suigetsu

Kochou-no-Yume

These active skills excel at boosting allies' critical hits and wiping out waves of enemies with powerful AoE magic attacks.The critical hit buff significantly enhances your team's offensive potential, while the high damage output from her skills makes her a strong damage dealer.

However, the delayed damage on Kyouka Suigetsu might miss the window for buffed critical hits. Overall, these skills shine in situations where you need to clear out multiple enemies quickly, but might requre strategic teambuilding or alternative skills for focused boss encounters.

The Majestic Moon

Princess of Dreams

The Majestic Moon grants a powerful counterattack and a hefty shield, making her a tough nut to crack. However, these benefits disappear at low HP, demanding good healing support.

Princess of Dreams punishes enemies for debuffing Kaguya, potentially crippling their resource management and attack power. The downside is its reliance on a 70% activation chance and enemy use of active skills for debuffs.

Overall, these skills enhance Kaguya's survivability and battlefield control, but require careful team composition and awareness of enemy strategies to maximize their effectiveness.

Witches to Beat 【The Witch of Dreams】Kaguya

【The Witch of Dreams】Kaguya Hard Counters

Nina

Her Lost Child's Tears and I Hate You! skills can dispel buffs with a high chance, stripping away Kaguya's critical hit buff and shield.

I Hate You! can also completely negate Kaguya's debuff retaliation by dispelling Nina's debuffs and inflicting them on Kaguya instead. Nina's AoE attacks can disrupt Kaguya's own AoE damage, while her passives boost her evasion and damage reduction, making her tankier against Kaguya's magic.

However, some of Nina's counters rely on chance or specific conditions, so the effectiveness can vary. Overall, Nina's skillset poses a serious threat to Kaguya's abilities.

Witch Illya

Her Surge of Providence dispels buffs at higher levels, potentially negating Kaguya's critical hit buff. God Curses the Light punishes Kaguya for trying to debuff Illya by dealing bonus damage. Illya's physical attacks can disrupt Kaguya's own AoE magic, and her passive skills bolster her survivability against magic damage.

The Angel Who Bears 0 in particular lets Illya shrug off heavy blows and survive with 1 HP. However, some of Illya's counters depend on specific situations, like dispelling buffs requiring a higher level skill. Overall, Illya's skillset makes her a tough opponent for Kaguya.

Fia

Fia can be a strategic counter to Kaguya. Placing Fia next to Kaguya can bait enemy attacks towards your tank's boosted counter, potentially wasting enemy turns. The team's increased HP and Fia's self-healing make them tankier against Kaguya's magic.

【The Witch of Dreams】Kaguya Sample Counter Teams

Debuff Hurler Team

Buffer	Attacker	Buffer	Buffer	Tank
Merlyn	Cordie	Mertillier	Olivia	Nina

Nina can dispel Kaguya's buffs and weaken her ability to debuff your team. Merlyn can dispel debuffs from your team and potentially remove buffs from Kaguya. Cordie can deal high physical damage to Kaguya, especially if she's debuffed. Mertillier can buff your team's attack and potentially cleanse debuffs from your strongest attacker. Olivia's buffs and shields can further enhance your team's offense and defense.

You can consider replacing Mertillier with a single-target dispel or a healer to make this team more durable.

Magical Damage Team

Buffer	Tank	Healer	Attacker	Tank
Merlyn	Matilda	Yuni	Witch Illya	Soltina

Yuni and Merlyn can dispel Kaguya's buffs, leaving her vulnerable. Illya can remove Kaguya's critical hit buff if she gets debuffed, lowering her damage output. Yuni and Matilda can also heal the team to counter Kaguya's magic attacks. However, Kaguya's counter and ultimate attack can be dangerous. To win, focus on dispelling Kaguya's shield before attacking, protect Illya, use heals strategically, and focus fire to take down Kaguya quickly.

Witches Not To Use Against 【The Witch of Dreams】Kaguya

Rusalka

Kaguya's debuff punishment mechanic makes Rusalka more susceptible to being heavily countered after inflicting debuffs. Mainly debuff characters may not be ideal in dealing with Kaguya.

Morgana

Morgana may be fragile against Kaguya's strong attacks because of her self-damaging skills. It is best not to use characters who are self-damaging.

Tips for Beating 【The Witch of Dreams】Kaguya

Avoid Using Debuffers

Because of Kaguya's debuff punishment, it may be too risky to use debuffers in your team. Consider characters who can counter Kaguya without relying on debuffs.

Use Characters Who Steal Buffs or Dispellers

By stealing or dispelling Kaguya's buffs can ultimately weaken her skills and defeat her in battle.
