How to Beat Tama Overview

SR (Limited)	Amber	Sniper	Buffer

Tama is a challenging opponent in MementoMori due to her mix of offensive and defensive skills. Youko Rinka boosts her allies' accuracy and deals significant damage, while Kitsunebi Ranbu reduces the defenses of the player's strongest character, making them more vulnerable.

Her Mightiest Guardian Spirit skill provides strong shields to allies, prolonging battles, and Mononoke Prankster grants her long-lasting invisibility, evading being a target when her HP is low. This combination of buffs, debuffs, and defensive maneuvers requires players to strategize carefully to counter her effectively.

Tama Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths	Weaknesses
• ACC buff for ally with highest ATK and deals significant AoE damage • Reduces enemy DEF and P.DEF • Provides a strong shield to key ally and enhances the survivability of Amber Soul allies • Grants long-lasting invisibility	• Buff duration is initially short • Full damage potential requires multiple uses • Mini Tama Doll buffs have no effects • Invisibility activates only once per battle and requires specific conditions to trigger

Tama Skill Analysis

Youko Rinka

Kitsunebi Ranbu

Youko Rinka enhances the hit chance of the ally with the highest ATK and deals significant damage to multiple enemies, making it great for improving accuracy and spreading damage. However, its random targeting and conditional enhancements can be limiting.

On the other hand, Kitsunebi Ranbu focuses on the enemy with the highest ATK, applying strong debuffs and dealing massive damage, especially after multiple uses. Its single-target focus and conditional damage boost are its main drawbacks.

Mightiest Guardian Spirit

Mononoke Prankster

Mightiest Guardian Spirit provides a shield equal to 30% of the ally's max HP, an extended duration of 8 turns at higher levels, and an enhanced shield for Amber Soul allies. However, it has a cooldown period of 8 action phases, and the Mini Tama Doll buffs have no effects.

Mononoke Prankster grants Tama invisibility for 8 turns when her HP falls below 70%, increasing to 16 and 32 turns at higher levels, ensuring her survivability. This skill activates only once per battle and requires at least 2 other allies to be alive, offering strong defense but no offensive benefits.

Witches to Beat Tama

Tama Hard Counters

Florence

Florence’s Scarlet Shimmer and Dance of Twin Lances can deal multiple hits, increasing the chance to hit Tama before she activates her invisibility. Her high damage output can break through Tama’s shields quickly, especially with the additional attacks from Dance of Twin Lances. Florence’s critical hit chance increase from The Saint’s Guardian and the ATK and damage boost from My Sacred Vow can mitigate the DEF and P. DEF debuffs from Tama’s Kitsunebi Ranbu.

Cordie

Cordie's The Quick & The Dead skill deals multiple physical attacks at random, which can help in hitting Tama before she activates her invisibility. If a target is defeated, Cordie’s ATK increases, allowing her to deal even more damage. Fanning Shots targets multiple enemies and deals increased damage if Cordie’s HP is low, ensuring significant damage output.

Additionally, if the target is debuffed, this skill guarantees a critical hit, which can be crucial against Tama’s defenses. All Eyes on Me! increases Cordie’s ATK and DEF Break, enhancing her overall damage and ability to penetrate defenses. Smoke and Gunpowder grants Cordie Unhindered or Debuff Immunity, making her resilient against Tama’s debuffs.

Rusalka

Rusalka’s skills can counter Tama effectively by reducing Tama’s damage output and dealing high magical damage. Kikimora’s Downpour and Vodnik’s Mire Dragon debuff and damage multiple enemies, weakening Tama’s team. Maiden of Sacrifice provides Rusalka with revival and defensive barriers, making her resilient. Witch of Torrential Sorrow boosts Rusalka’s defenses based on her HP, helping her survive Tama’s attacks.

Tama Sample Counter Teams

Dispel and Damage Team

Buffer	Debuffer	Attacker	Buffer	Buffer
Primavera	Rusalka	Cordie	Merlyn	Dian

Primavera and Merlyn excel at supporting allies and debuffing enemies. Rusalka can debuff enemies and is a capable damage dealers. Cordie is a burst damage dealer who can inflict debuffs and increase her own damage output. Dian boosts EVD.

Debuffer-Heavy Team

Attacker	Tank	Debuffer	Debuffer	Debuffer
Florence	Ophelia	Soltina	Lunalynn	Cerberus

Florence and Cerberus provide high damage output, focusing on weakening and eliminating Tama and her allies. Ophelia serves as durable tank, drawing attacks away from other team members and reducing enemy ATK. Soltina and Lunalynn offer strong debufing capabilities, disrupting Tama's strategy and reducing her effectiveness. Lunalynn and Ophelia enhanes the team's defenses, making them more resilient against Tama's attack.

Witches Not To Use Against Tama

Freesia

Characters who are focused on healing and support. These characters may not have the offensive capabilities to counter Tama on their own given her AoE damage and debuffs.

Natasha

Valeriede

Characters with low hit count or low damage. These characters may have damage contributed to the team, but can be easily eliminated when Tama buffs her team and deal damage to them.

Tips for Beating Tama

Dispel Buffs

Use characters who can dispel buffs to counter Tama's Youko Rinka and Mightiest Guardian Spirit. Removing these buffs will reduce her team's accuracy and shield effectiveness. You can use characters like Merlyn for this.

Use High-Damage Dealers

Use high-damage dealers like Cordie or Florence to deal significant damage quickly, potentially taking Tama down before her Invisibility triggers.

SPD and EVD Runes

Make sure to equip your characters with SPD runes to increase the SPD stat, which will allow you to fine-tune the action order. You may have your Buffers or Debuffers wield them so they can act before your main attackers to maximize damage output and control the battle flow. Equip EVD runes to your attackers too so that they can counter the hits from Tama's allies.
