This team comp requires Akiba and Miu to unlock Passive Expansion 2, which will boost their damage output and damage rate. When using this comp, it's recommended to maintain a good tempo in the fight when triggering Breaks, and get to a Tension Phase where everyone can activate their Ultimates.
While Kazuki mainly focuses on triggering Break, Akiba and Miu provide additional damage and capitalize on the openings Kazuki forces when Break is triggered.
This team can also sustain itself and minimize damage taken with Kazuki's ability to grant shield and Hinagiku's auto-parry ability. However, if the enemy deals great enough damage or you are worried about the team's durability, it's recommended to use the Minato Tribe Bomber tension card.

| Recommended Tension Cards | ||
This team relies on Hinagiku and Yo to trigger Break whenever possible, while Tsuki provides additional damage output, with her Ultimate being a valuable asset as it deals great damage.
Hinagiku can also act as a pseudo-tank for her party members using her Ultimate, which grants [Attention]. This way, the remaining members can continuously attack relatively easily as Hinagiku handles the enemy more up-close.
When fighting enemies that aren't affected by auto-parry, it's recommended to use Energy Steal and Ejection especially for this particular team comp.

As a close-range attacker, Hinagiku's strengths lie in her ability to easily parry/counter an enemy's attack and quickly follow up with a charged primary attack. Her playstyle using her auto-parry makes it easy to break the enemy's posture and opens up opportunities to unleash more attacks.
In addition, Hinagiku's ultimate ability debuffs the enemy's defense, which helps in increasing the damage output and rate of not only herself, but the entire party.
It's recommended to use Hinagiku's ultimate as much as possible, especially since it only uses 1 tension gauge. Acquiring the tension gauge will be relatively easy when using Hinagiku because of her auto-parry, which causes the enemy's posture to break.
So, try to exploit the Auto-Parry⟶Break loop and frequently activate Hinagiku's ultimate ability. Other than debuffing the enemy's defense, her ultimate grants [Attention] which helps Hinagiku fulfill a pseudo-tank role for the team.
By investing in her Passive 2, an additional area-of-effect (AoE) attack can be activated when her primary attack is fully charged. After Hinagiku performs an auto-parry, you will be able to immediately unleash a fully charged attack so it is easy to activate the additional AoE attack.
It's recommended to prioritize her Passive, as this will unlock Hinagiku's true potential as an attacker. In addition, the additional AoE attack's damage can be boosted by using the Professional Maid tension card.
The basic strategy for Hinagiku is to use her auto-parry to aggressively break the opponent's posture. When her [Fist Ki] gauge fills up while performing Auto-Parry→Full-charge Primary Attack→Secondary Attack loop, immediately follow up with Strategy Skill (Akiba Kenjutsu: Lovely Impact) to deal an additional large amount of damage, and then break enemy posture.
