Kikoru Shinomiya - Full-Power Christmas is a Slash Defender who offers exceptional support flexibility through recovery, buffs, and debuff removal. Rather than focusing solely on damage mitigation, she excels at keeping allies alive while actively boosting their offensive potential.
She provides reliable healing through both her Combat Skill, which restores HP to a single ally, and her Ultimate, which heals the entire team. In addition, Kikoru can revive one incapacitated ally once per battle, greatly improving team survivability in difficult encounters.
Her Ultimate also applies the Engrossed buff to all allies except herself. Engrossed restores HP before an ally uses a Normal Attack or Combat Skill, and if the ally’s HP is 50% or higher, it also increases their ATK, blending sustain and damage amplification into a single effect.
Kikoru further strengthens the team through layered buffs. After using a Normal Attack or Follow-Up, she increases DMG Dealt for all allies, and after using her Combat Skill, she boosts the Ultimate Gauge Charge Rate for allies other than herself. These effects, combined with Engrossed, make her a powerful enabler for high-damage team compositions.
Her support capabilities scale significantly with Ascension. At A1, she grants Engrossed to allies at the start of battle; A4 adds DMG Taken Reduction and a DMG Dealt buff to her Combat Skill target; and at A6, she can further increase an ally’s DMG Dealt after using a Combat Skill or Ultimate. With these upgrades, Kikoru Shinomiya [Full-Power Christmas] stands out as a highly versatile support-oriented Defender who fits seamlessly into both aggressive and sustain-focused teams.
