Pros & Cons for Keiji Itami (Calm and Quiet)
Excellent Poison Damage
Keiji can apply Poison with his Combat Skill. Although there is a cap based on his own ATK, the Poison damage depends on the enemy's HP, so the higher the enemy's HP, the more damage you can expect.
Applies Stun with His Ultimate
Keiji can apply Stun with his Ultimate. In addition to stopping the target's movement and delaying their attacks, it also increases CRIT DMG, contributing to damage output.
Extra Damage When Untargeted
Keiji enters a Stealth state if he is not attacked for 1 turn. While in the Stealth state, in addition to his attacks dealing additional damage, at A1, the SP cost is also removed.
Best Team Comps for Keiji Itami (Calm and Quiet)
Poison DMG Amplifier Squad Setup
This squad setup uses Chester to significantly increase ATK and enhance Keiji's Poison damage. Include another attacker to supplement the team's damage, as Keiji's DoT-based damage takes time to activate. Ryo Ikaruga and 4★ Mina Ashiro can also provide ATK buffs, making them strong alternatives to Chester if you don't have him.
