Pros & Cons for Haruichi Izumo (Calculated Choice)
Shot Support That Buffs His Battle Buddy
Haruichi Izumo is a 5★ Shot Support whose Ultimate delivers an AoE attack with a guaranteed Critical Hit. He provides both offensive and SPD buffs, making him highly effective at strengthening his Battle Buddy.
Squad Setup GuideProvides SPD and Multiple Buffs
With his Combat Skill, Haruichi can grant a single ally Combat Skill DMG dealt UP, SPD increase, and CRIT DMG UP through True Potential, allowing him to consistently support allies with both speed and offensive buffs.
Best Paired With an Attacker
Haruichi excels at supporting his Battle Buddy. In addition to his core buffs, after using his Combat Skill he can grant his Battle Buddy ATK increase + ST Attack/Blast Attack DMG dealt increase, along with All Elemental DMG Dealt UP through Assistance at the start of battle or via his Ultimate, giving access to a wide range of offensive enhancements. Because of this, he performs best when paired with a strong Attacker in your squad.
True Potential CRIT DMG Scales
True Potential increases CRIT DMG based on Haruichi’s own CRIT DMG stat, making it important to build his CRIT DMG. Clarity, which he gains when he or his Battle Buddy uses a Combat Skill, boosts his CRIT DMG, and at 3 stacks, all stacks can be consumed to gain SP+1.
| Note! | True Potential cannot be applied to Haruichi himself. |
|---|
Aim for A2 First
Since A1 adds CRIT Rate UP and DMG dealt UP to the True Potential effect, and A2 increases his own CRIT DMG, prioritize reaching A2 first to improve his support performance. A4 expands the All Elemental DMG Dealt buff to all allies, while A6 extends the duration of key buffs for even stronger support.
