Version 2.0 of ZZZ has come and gone, rather more quickly than I expected, if I’m being perfectly honest. This means that 2.1 is upon us, and a new character is available to be pulled for. Ukinami Yuzuha, member of the Spook Shack faction (play the game to find out who they are) and tanuki co-player (yes, the tail and ears are fake).
Yuzuha is an S-Rank Physical Support who provides both ATK buffs to the party as well as providing additional Off-Field damage.
Yuzuha has 2 main gameplay goals. The first is gaining and using Sugar Points. She will gain Sugar Points by Parrying an attack (either with a Defensive Assist or by Holding down her Basic Attack), using her EX Special, being part of a Chain Attack, or using her Ultimate.
When Yuzuha has Sugar Points, when other active characters hit an enemy, Yuzuha will deal Aftershock damage to them. This can happen once every 8 seconds, and the maximum amount of Sugar Points she can hold is 6.
Yuzuha’s second goal is to apply Sweet Scare to enemies. She does this by using her EX Special. When enemies affected by Sweet Scare take attribute damage based on the active character’s attribute for the 1st time, Yuzuha’s Aftershock attack will do damage of that attribute as well.
For example, if you apply Sweet Scare to an enemy, then switch to Soldier 11 and apply Fire damage from any of her abilities, Yuzuha’s Aftershock attack will do Fire damage instead of Physical.
Yuzuha’s Core Passive gives the party a buff when she uses her EX Special or Ultimate, which increases their ATK based on her Initial attack. She will need 3000 ATK to provide full benefits.
Her additional ability, which activates when she is in a party with either an Anomaly character or a member of her own faction, causes her Core Passive buff to also increase everyone in the party’s Anomaly Buildup Rate based on her own, assuming it’s above a certain threshold. You need a minimum of 100, and the maximum amount needed is 200.
Energy Regen, ATK, and Anomaly Mastery are your friends with Yuzuha. 4-piece Swing Jazz with either 2-piece Phaethon’s Melody or Hormone Punk/Astral Voice are your best bets for right now. For the 2-piece, check your stats and see if you need ATK or Anomaly Mastery more.
Her personal W-Engine is best, as they usually are. If you can’t get it, however, the only other S-rank option is the Weeping Cradle. It’s not ideal, but it’s not bad either. As for A-rank W-Engines, go with either Kaboom the Cannon or Unfettered Game Ball.
She is best suited to pair up with Anomaly characters. Any will do. Of the options available, Jane would probably get a lot of benefit from her since she’s starting to fall off a little bit. Her best partner will probably be her factionmate, Alice, but she’s not out yet.
