Pros & Cons for Kikoru Shinomiya (Full-Power Christmas)
Defender Focused on Recovery and Buffs
Kikoru Shinomiya (Full-Power Christmas) is a 5-Star Slash Defender. She can support allies by providing Recovery, applying buffs, and removing debuffs, giving her strong flexibility in team compositions.
Can Recover Allies and Revive Once
Kikoru has skills that can recover the HP of a single ally with her Combat Skill, and all allies with her Ultimate. Also, although it is only once per battle, she can also revive an incapacitated ally other than herself, helping improve the team's overall durability.
Recovery & ATK Increase from the Engrossed Buff
The Engrossed buff, applied to all allies other than herself with her Ultimate, can also recover the user's HP before they activate a Normal Attack or Combat Skill, and if the user's remaining HP is 50% or more, it increases their ATK.
Supports Ally Damage and Ultimate Gauge Increase
Kikoru is excellent at supporting allies through multiple buffs. After activating a Normal Attack or Follow-Up, she increases DMG dealt for all allies, and after activating a Combat Skill, she increases the Ultimate Gauge Charge Rate for all allies other than herself. In addition, the Engrossed buff from her Ultimate can also increase ATK under certain conditions, reinforcing her role as a strong support option.
