This team uses Roku as a tank, and Kazuki and Tsuki as the two attackers. Take note that while this team's main goal is maximizing damage potential and output, it does not have a natural way to recover health.
To help with the team's survivability, use Kazuki's ability to grant party members shield via his Strategy Skill. In line with this, it is recommended to use the Things to Hold On To tension card, as it increases crit.rate through stacks gained from additional attacks when a shield is applied.
The Thing to Hold On To tension card turns Kazuki's shield into offense by using its crit.rate buff to help in producing more consistent damage output across the team.
This team comp uses Roku's Ultimate as a main source of high damage. Additionally as the team's tank, Roku's ability to apply Attention and Rage status effects must be maximized at all times. Keep the enemy on him and "tank" the damage dished out by the enemy.
Kazuki is used to help trigger Break, and reinforce team durability. Meanwhile, Tsuki is used to efficiently increase the tension gauge, as well as to effectively counterattack.

This team uses Roku as a tank, Tsuki as the main attacker, and Koishi as the support/healer. Roku and Koishi fight in the front line, while Tsuki forces breaks from the backline. As this is a balanced team, it is recommended to use in particular for the story battles.
When using this team comp, it is recommended that Roku is to be an NPC and controlled by the game. In this way, Roku acts as a pure tank, while the player controls Tsuki as a long-range attacker.
How to Play Roku Saigo
|
|
Provoke Enemies to Attack
With Roku's ability to grant himself [Attention] and [Rage] status effects, he is able to increase his defense whenever he gets attacked by the enemy. As a result, he is able to gain more survivability and endurance despite his DEF stat.
Once [Attention] and [Rage] are applied, Roku should provoke enemies to attack him to get the most out of his role as a tank.
Use [Strategy Skill→Max. Charged Secondary Attack]
Roku has a powerful Strategy Skill that reduces damage taken by 70% while it is active. To let Roku effectively recover and survive while fulfilling his role as a tank, it is recommended to deal damage with the Strategy Skill→Max. Charged Secondary Attack combo.
Position Roku Away From Allies
As a tank, Roku has the [Attention] effect which attracts enemy attacks towards him. To keep Roku's teammates safe, position him away from them so that his teammates do not get caught in the line of fire.
Increase [Rage] to Maximize Ultimate Damage
The damage of Roku's Ultimate attack increases according to the number [Rage] stacks Roku has. Keep stacking [Rage] until the gauge displayed on the left side reaches MAX, then activate his Ultimate. However, take note that its required tension phase is 3.
Invest in Passive 1 to Unlock Healing Ability
Invest in Roku's Passive 1 so he becomes capable of recovering health at regular intervals. Additionally, since the recovery amount is based on Roku's HP limit, it is recommended to prioritize increasing the HP sub-status of your equipped Patimon.
