Pull if You Don't Have Reno
Gen Narumi (Japan's Strongest Santa) is a dual-Attribute Slash/Ice Attacker, so prioritize him if you don't have Reno, who also has the Ice Element. Although he consumes 2 SP, his Combat Skill is an excellent high-Multiplier Blast Attack with both Slash and Ice Elements, and you can offset the SP cost with his Ultimate's SP Recovery.

F2P Team with Gen (Japan's Strongest Santa)
| Example Team for Narumi (Japan's Strongest Santa) | |||
 Gen Narumi |  Soshiro Hoshina |  Kafka Hibino |  Akari Minase |
The above is an example team for Gen (Japan's Strongest Santa). Since Kafka (The Man Who Became a Reindeer) and Soshiro (4-Star) can be obtained for free, even beginners can easily build this team.
| Note! | Note that among the characters in the example team above, Akari is not a free character. |
Try to Get the GS‐Xmas25
You'll want to pull for Gen's weapon, "GS-Xmas25," as it can currently only be obtained from the Gen Narumi Pickup Gacha, but it can be replaced with other 5-Star Gunswords, so the priority for getting it is slightly lower.
Not a Limited Character
Keep in mind that Gen Narumi (Japan's Strongest Santa) is not a limited-time character.
Gen (Japan's Strongest Santa) Evaluation
A Slash/Ice Attacker
Gen is an Attacker who possesses two Attributes: Slash and Ice. He can reduce both Physical and Elemental Plates, making him a versatile character.
High-Multiplier Blast Attack Combat Skill
His Combat Skill costs 2 SP, yet delivers a high-multiplier Blast Attack that carries both Slash and Ice attributes. On top of that, his Ultimate restores 2 SP.
Ultimate Gives Buff, Action Advance, and SP Recovery
His Ultimate allows him to apply self-buffs, increases his next Action Order by 100%, and recovers 2 SP. Therefore, after using his Ultimate, he can act again, and it's possible to compensate for heavy SP consumption.
Has a DMG-Boosting Self-Buff
The Hyped status granted after activating his Combat Skill or Ultimate increases his own ATK and CRIT DMG, and it can stack up to 6 times. Additionally, his Passive Skill increases CRIT DMG after breaking a Plate, and his Ultimate grants a Combat Skill DMG Multiplier buff to increase his own damage output.
