Pros & Cons for Sagan Shinomiya (Over Limit)
Slash/Fire Attacker with Multi-Target Attacks
Sagan Shinomiya is a 5-Star Slash/Fire Attribute Attacker capable of Blast and AoE Attacks. She can reduce both Physical and Elemental PLTs, making her very versatile.
Buffs Herself by Consuming Her Own HP
Sagan's Combat Skill consumes 30% of her max HP before attacking to apply the "Blaze" buff to herself. While in the Blaze state, her Normal Attack changes to an Enhanced Normal Attack & her own DMG dealt increases, but players must be mindful of the significant HP cost.
| Tip! | Since Sagan consumes her own HP, it is important to protect her with characters who can restore HP, like 4-Star Akari or Kikoru (Christmas). |
|---|
Enhanced Normal Attacks in Blaze State
While Sagan is in the Blaze state, her Normal Attack transforms into an Enhanced Normal Attack, which acts as a Slash/Fire dual-Attribute Blast Attack. Additionally, her Passive Skill increases the entire team's Ultimate Gauge, allowing you to cycle through ally Ultimates much more frequently.
Can Enhance Herself and Allies
Thanks to her Passive Skill, every time Sagan loses a total of 400 HP, she buffs her own Ultimate & Enhanced Normal Attack damage, as well as the Ultimate DMG dealt by allies. Furthermore, her Ultimate increases team-wide DMG by applying Ardor and boosting CRIT DMG, making her excellent at amplifying the squad's total damage.
Prioritize A1 Ascension
At A1, Sagan can increase her own damage by boosting her CRIT Rate after using her Combat Skill and buffing her Enhanced Normal Attack & Ultimate DMG. If you have the resources after obtaining her, she is a character you will want to Ascend to A1 immediately.

Best Squad Setup & Recommended TeamsBest Weapons for Sagan Shinomiya (Over Limit)
Best Weapon Is Lc-Anorollal
The best weapon for Sagan Shinomiya is Lc-Anorollal. In addition to increasing Fire DMG Dealt and boosting Normal Attack & Ultimate DMG, it also increases her CRIT Rate when she loses HP, making it perfectly tailored for her HP-consumption mechanics.
Other Recommended Weapons
If you don't have her best-in-slot weapon, Lc-Brunhild is a solid alternative that increases CRIT Rate (obtainable from Weapon Supply Box II). If you lack both, simply equip the strongest weapon you own. Additionally, while it is Hikari's signature weapon, Lc‐0039 is also a viable option.
