Senshi Pros and Strength

Senshi's Character Overview

Supports Allies by Placing Cuisine

Senshi can place the Item "Cuisine" at the start of battle or with the Skill [It's Mealtime!]. Allies around the Cuisine gain various effects such as HP recovery and Skill CD reduction, and with [Responsibility] equipped, it can also apply debuffs to enemies. By being mindful of fighting around the Cuisine, you can always fight with an advantage.

Move Cuisine with Knockback

[Cuisine] can be moved with Knockbacks after being placed. The Basic Attack [Pot Slam!] has an effect that allows Senshi to [Act Again] after attacking an Item, so you can move the Cuisine and then act again. To bring out Senshi's true potential, always be mindful of the Cuisine's position as it is crucial.

Durable and Uses Assisting Cover

By equipping the Reaction [Eat Well], you can gain the [Assisting Cover] effect, which protects allies from single-target attacks when you are within 2 tiles of Cuisine. With high durability from other Skills like [Iron Pot], you can protect allies, making you particularly good at tanking attacks from enemy Defenders.

Buffs Attacks with "Senshi's Satisfaction"

While Senshi is a character who excels at support and defense, by accumulating stacks of the [Senshi's Satisfaction] buff, his attack power will skyrocket for a single attack. While providing support, initiate an attack once the stacks are full. Additionally, you can gain a certain number of [Senshi's Satisfaction] stacks at the start of battle at 3-stars or higher, or through Skills like [Responsibility], [The Smell of Cooking], and [Iron Pot].

Conditionally Powerful

This character can turn the battle to in your favor with various buffs and [Cuisine], while also being able to attack with a powerful blow when [Senshi's Satisfaction] stacks are accumulated. However, if you neglect to manage the Cuisine's position and the number of stacks, you won't be able to bring out Senshi's true potential, so be mindful of setting up the right conditions.

Star Level Up Priority & Recommended Stars for Senshi

Aim to Reach 5★

Star Level Up Priority	Recommended Star Level
	5★

Priority Skills

Skill	Priority and Details
Pot Slam!	★★★★★ A Basic Attack that has a Knockback effect and allows Senshi to [Act Again] if the target is an [Item]. This Basic Attack works well with Senshi, who fights by utilizing [Cuisine], so you should generally equip this Basic Attack.
It's Mealtime!	★★★★★ A crucial Skill that grants powerful buffs to allies and summons [Cuisine], the cornerstone of Senshi's support. Without equipping [Responsibility], it has 1-turn preparation and [Skips the turn] effects, so you should generally equip them together.
Responsibility	★★★★★ An excellent Passive that removes the 1-turn preparation and [Skips the turn] effects of [It's Mealtime!]. If you are not attacking, it also has an effect that grants [Senshi's Satisfaction] and buffs that increase attack, so prioritize equipping it.
Powerful Attack	★★★★★ A Basic Attack that deals high damage. If you have stacks of [Senshi's Satisfaction], it will deal even more damage, so keep that in mind.
Eat Well	★★★★ A Reaction that greatly increases durability and grants an Assisting Cover effect when within 2 tiles of [Cuisine]. Essential if you plan to use Senshi defensively.
The Smell of Cooking	★★★★ Has an effect that strengthens allies and weakens enemies around [Cuisine], allowing you to create an advantageous area. Since fighting around [Cuisine] is essential, this is a Skill you'll especially want to equip against bosses or single-targets.
Iron Pot	★★★★ A Skill that grants [Senshi's Satisfaction] while greatly reducing front and side damage. It has a rare effect that allows you to change Senshi's direction when used, virtually immunizing him against attacks to the rear.

Skill	Priority and Details
Dwarf Blood	★★★ Has a rare effect that reduces damage taken when taking Fire damage or magic damage. It also has an effect that nullifies the very troublesome Scorch and Burning panels on some stages, making it very effective depending on the stage.
Burning Grenade	★★★ An excellent Skill that creates powerful Burn panels. It can also hinder enemies, making it particularly powerful against multiple targets.
Scorching Attack	★★★ Although its multiplier is lower than [Powerful Attack], the DoT DMG from [Scorch] can sometimes be higher. However, since Scorch is often nullified, especially against most bosses and powerful enemies, and also since Senshi doesn't have many opportunities to attack, so you should generally equip [Powerful Attack] which has a higher multiplier.
Knockback Bash	★★ If you need Knockback, use the Basic Attack [Pot Slam!]. This is Senshi's Skill with the highest DMG multiplier, so equip it when prioritizing damage above all else.
Co-Attack - Extra	★★ A Passive that increases Senshi's attack power if there are allies or Items nearby. It's a viable option to equip when focusing solely on attacking rather than supporting allies.
Sweeping Bash	★★ Senshi's only AoE P.ATK Skill. If [Senshi's Satisfaction] is stacked, it can deal high area damage, so equip it when focusing on offense against multiple enemies.
Crushing Strike	★ It's an option to equip when focusing on single-target attacks and defensive buffs. However, its priority is low because there are many other Skills you'll want to equip.

Recommended Gear, Tarots, & Engravings

Recommended Weapons for Senshi

Recommended Engravings for Senshi

Resonance	Effect
Sword Wand	Before actively attacking, for each 1 tile traversed, increases ATK and DEF by 4%, up to 12%. The effect lasts until the start of the next turn,
Wand Cup	At the end of the turn, there is a 50% chance to gain [Engraving Resonance]. Effect: When using an [active skill] next time, refunds the NRG consumed and resets the CD. The skill effect has a CD of 4 turns. (Does not trigger in real-time combat. The effect changes to increasing HP, ATK and DEF by 5%)
