Best Arc / Weapon for Shinku
Blushing Mirage is Recommended
| Arc | Detail |
|---|---|
| Blushing Mirage | ・CRIT Rate Increase Sub-Stat ・ATK Up ・Cosmos DMG Up and partial Penetration on Ultimate cast |
The recommended Arc for Shinku is Blushing Mirage. Casting the Ultimate boosts Cosmos DMG and lets part of the damage dealt ignore DEF. It pairs well with Shinku, who racks up damage in her berserk form after her Ultimate, and is very easy to use.
Other Recommended Arcs

|---|---|
| Fluff of Ferocity | ・ATK Increase Sub-Stat ・CRIT DMG Up on each CRIT hit ・CRIT DMG buff can be refreshed via overwrite |
| Camellia Society | ・CRIT Rate Increase Sub-Stat ・CRIT DMG Up from self-inflicted damage ・Deals damage during Tuning at the cost of HP |

Low-Rarity Team
| Main | Anima | Lakshana | Instant Cycle |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shinku | Mint | Skia | Esper Zero |
This is a low-rarity team built around Shinku as the main character, aiming to trigger Charge. Since you'll want to keep Shinku as your controlled character to maximize damage output, she can also be used purely as an Esper Cycle trigger.
Basic Playstyle
| Order | Playstyle |
|---|---|
| Build up Defiant Spirit with Shinku to prepare to activate her Ultimate | |
| Trigger Esper Cycle with Mint to activate Blossom, then activate her Redirect Skill and Ultimate before switching to Esper Zero | |
| After activating Esper Zero's Ultimate and Redirect Skill, use Instant Cycle to switch to Skia | |
| Switch to Skia and activate "Remora" + "Charge", then switch to Shinku (activating her Ultimate can also trigger the Speedy Hedgehog buff) | |
| Use Shinku's Ultimate and play in Rampage Form |
Swap Candidates
| Character | Notes |
|---|---|
| Jiuyuan | Swap with Mint - Can contribute to battle even while benched - Generating 2 Vita Bud makes it easy to gain buffs |
| Hathor | Swap with Skia - Support skill can extend Remora - High burst damage from Redirect Skill right after her Ultimate |
Shinku - How To Play & Rotations
Basic Playstyle
- Gain Defiant Spirit from various attacks
- Gain Fading Reason after activating her Ultimate
- Use the move that unlocks a set time after activating her Ultimate
Gain Defiant Spirit from Various Attacks
Shinku's Basic Attacks and Redirect Skill grant Defiant Spirit, which is needed to activate her Ultimate. Unlike normal characters, gaining Ultimate Energy alone will not let you activate her Ultimate.
About Menacing Gaze
If Shinku doesn't attack while on the field, Menacing Gaze builds up, and each stack adds bonus damage to her first attack. If you've unlocked the Ascension Effect Sunset Beach, Menacing Gaze will build up even while Shinku is benched, making it easier to make effective use of.
Gain Fading Reason After Activating Her Ultimate
After activating her Ultimate and transitioning into Surging Crimson, Basic Attacks can gain "Fading Reason". Accumulating Fading Reason lets you use her Redirect Skill, so try to activate it as many times as possible within the time limit.
Use the Move That Unlocks from Activating Her Ultimate
Just before Surging Crimson ends, the Ultimate button becomes usable for a Dash Attack. The Dash Attack's available uses depend on how many times you used her Redirect Skill during Surging Crimson; once you use up all its charges, or when Surging Crimson ends, a wide-area attack triggers automatically and she returns to her normal state.
