Review
- A Physical Attacker who excels at Ignore Defense, re-activating skills, and Execution - The Shock effect at Transcendence 6 pairs well with Eileene - Execution is especially effective against Indomitable-holders like Tanjiro and Dongyoung

A Late-Blooming, High-Damage Physical Attacker

A Physical Attacker whose strength lies in high damage, from Ignore Defense, Pierce, skills re-activating, and Execution. His performance improves significantly with Skill Enhancement, Transcendence, and Awakening, making him a late-blooming hero who needs investment to shine.

Only Obtainable During the Collab Period

Zenitsu Agatsuma can only be obtained during the Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba collaboration period, and will no longer be available once the collab ends. Keep in mind that if you are aiming for Transcendence 6, you will need to do so within the collab period. That said, you are guaranteed to get at least one copy through the collab login event.

Should Zenitsu Agatsuma Be Awakened?

Definitely Worth Awakening for PvP

His Awakening Skill, which inflicts Buff Duration Reduction and deals an Execution-based, Defense-ignoring attack to the 2 enemies with the highest Attack, is extremely powerful in PvP, making him a hero you will definitely want to awaken if you are using him there. Skill 2 also gains a Defense Reduction effect, making him a good pick if you are short on Defense Reduction heroes for PvE too.

How to Awaken

Their skill enhancement progress carries over even after Awakening. Once Awakened, they can also enhance their Awakening Skill, so be sure to enhance your main heroes.

Zenitsu Agatsuma (Awakening) Strength and Features

His Execution Awakening Skill is Extremely Strong

His Awakening Skill, which deals Execution damage to the 2 enemies with the highest Attack, is extremely powerful. Buff Duration Reduction strips away Damage Immunity and survivability buffs before he attacks, making the Execution effect easy to trigger, and being able to target high-Attack enemies makes him a great match for countering Sunran. He is also excellent as a counter to Indomitable-holders like Tanjiro and Dongyoung.

His Ignore Defense Skill Re-Activating is Also Strong

Skill 1 is a single-target Ignore Defense attack that also re-activates if it defeats an enemy. He is a hero worth building with as much damage as possible, to help trigger both the re-activation and Execution effects.

Pairs Well With Eileene and Tanjiro

At Transcendence 6, he gains a Shock effect, which also makes him a great fit alongside Eileene, who has a passive that boosts Shock application, and Tanjiro, who has an Effect Hit Rate Boost passive. Using him together with these heroes is highly worth it.

Also Has Strengths in Survivability

On the survivability side, his strength is having Blessing and generating a Barrier, along with being immune to Crowd Control. At Transcendence 2, removing a Crowd Control debuff also grants Cooldown Reset and generates a Barrier, which is excellent, making Transcendence 2 a high priority.

Low Target Count for His Attacks

Zenitsu's drawback is that his attacks only hit 1-2 targets, which is a low target count for Arena use. He seems more likely to show his true value in the 3v3 Guild War than in Arena.

Also, his performance without Skill Enhancement, Transcendence, or Awakening is fairly modest, so be sure to invest in him properly.

Best Rings for Zenitsu Agatsuma (Awakening)

Legendary Rings

Best Rings to Equip
Ring of Resurrection	Ring of Immortality	Ring of Authority

Zenitsu is often used with boosted Attack, and since Blessing and his Barrier make him fairly hard to take down, the Ring of Authority is the best overall choice. Since Blessing already makes him fairly hard to take down, the Ring of Resurrection is also useful, and the Ring of Immortality works fine too, making him a hero who can comfortably equip any Legendary Ring.

Authority + Immortality or Resurrection is Ideal

Freyja is a hero with powerful skills, so staying on the field longer to use her skills 2+ times is extremely strong. It is a high bar to clear, but the ideal setup is Refining a Ring of Authority with a fixed Ring of Immortality or Resurrection substat, further boosting her survivability.

Zenitsu Agatsuma (Awakening) - Enhancement & Transcendence

Zenitsu Agatsuma (Awakening) Enhancement Priority Quick Reference Table

Potential	Transcendence	Skill Enhancement	Awakening

For Potential and Transcendence, it is recommended to prioritize heroes at the top of the Best Hero Tier List who are versatile across all content. Since resources for Skill Enhancement are limited, choose the order of enhancement by comparing them with heroes of similar priority.

Zenitsu Agatsuma (Awakening) - Recommended Hero Potentials

Potential	Priority/Remarks
Attack	：Top Priority Enhancement Boosting an attacker's Attack stat significantly impacts Arena win rate and PvE scores, so we recommend enhancing this as a top priority.
Defense	：Enhance When Possible This stat affects survivability and scores in subtle ways — worth enhancing if you're aiming for top performance.
HP	：Not Recommended — Use Caution For heroes with Blessing, damage to the Barrier is also capped based on max HP — so enhancing HP will decrease durability. It's safer not to increase HP.

To unlock a Legendary Hero's Potential, a total of 3,000 Heart's Fires and 180 corresponding Uncommon Rank Up Materials are required per stat.

Zenitsu Agatsuma - Recommended Transcendence

Transcendence Level	Recommendation / Effect
Transcendence 2	：Must Achieve Increases All Attack by 6% [Pre-Awakening Skill 1] Adds Effect: Each attack has a 35% chance to inflict Shock. [Duration: 2 Turn(s)] [Skill 2] Adds Effect: Each attack has a 35% chance to inflict Shock. [Duration: 2 Turn(s)]
Transcendence 4	：Excellent Effect Increases Crit Rate by 18%
Transcendence 6	：Powerful Effect Increases All Attack by 6% [Pre-Awakening Passive Skill] Adds Effect: Grants a Skill Cooldown Reduction of 26s when a debuff is removed. Adds Effect: Grants a Barrier equal to 95% of the caster's Physical Attack when a debuff is removed. [Duration: 3 Turn(s)]
Transcendence 7-12	：Limited Effect Increases All Attack, Defense, and HP by 2%

At Transcendence 2, using Debuff Removal also grants Cooldown Reduction and generates a Barrier, and at Transcendence 6, every skill gains a Shock effect. Since Transcendence 2 strengthens both his offense and survivability, he is a hero you will definitely want to push to Transcendence 2. If you are pairing him with Eileene in PvP, Transcendence 6 is ideal.

T1	Increases All Attack by 12%
T2	Increases All Attack by 6% [Pre-Awakening Skill 1] Adds Effect: Each attack has a 35% chance to inflict Shock. [Duration: 2 Turn(s)] [Skill 2] Adds Effect: Each attack has a 35% chance to inflict Shock. [Duration: 2 Turn(s)]

Transcendence Guide

Zenitsu Agatsuma - Recommeded Skill Enhancement

Skill	Priority/Effects
▲Awakening Skill	：Enhance if You Use It

Skill Enhancement is required for Awakening, so be sure to enhance his skills if you want to awaken him. Enhancing his Awakening Skill adds a Buff Duration Reduction effect, so it is better to have it enhanced if you are using him in PvP.

Recommended Skill Enhancement Before Awakening

Skill	Rating / Skill Enhancement Effect
▲Basic Attack (Pre-Awake)	：Fine Unenhanced - Increases Damage: To 130% of Physical Attack.
▲Skill 1 (Pre-Awake)	：Enhance if You Use It Adds Effect: Ignore Defense
▲Skill 2 (Pre-Awake)	：Enhance if You Use It Adds Effect: Ignore Defense
▲Passive Skill (Pre-Awake)	：Enhance if You Use It (Self) Increases Effect: Blessing cap becomes 25% of Max HP. (All Enemies) Increases Effect: Effect Resist Reduction to 34%.

These priorities are based on using the Hero before Awakening. If you prioritize Awakening, max all skills without hesitation.
