Yuki Overview

Rarity: 5★

Rating: SS

Class: Striker

Attribute: Order

Yuki is essentially an aggressive, spam-oriented DPS character focused on Area of Effect (AoE) damage, though her build can be adjusted to prioritize Single Target (ST) damage instead. She excels in battles against multiple enemies, with core gameplay revolving around drawing cards to trigger her unique "Inspiration" effect — activated when cards are added to your hand via skills, it reduces card costs, boosts attack power, and triggers combo chains to quickly wipe out enemy waves.

Yuki's abilities reach full power as soon as she draws them; she doesn't rely on multi-turn combo buildup or ramping. Thus, prioritize pairing her with card-drawing supports or including heavy generic card draw to maximize attack cards with activated Inspiration. Draw power and a smaller deck size ensure consistent access to her cards each turn, translating to steady damage output.

To avoid wasting potential, budget enough AP to play all drawn cards per turn. This can be achieved by adjusting Flash Slash's Epiphanies, removing her 2-cost basic card, or duplicating specific cards.
