Sagan Shinomiya Dimensionally Distorted Destiny is a 5-Star Defender, very good defender, with dual Blunt and Fire attributes, making her a unique frontline unit capable of both protecting allies and contributing meaningful damage. As the only Defender with this attribute combination, she excels at breaking enemy plates while maintaining strong survivability.
Sagan’s core strength lies in her Taunt-based protection and durability. By drawing enemy attacks to herself and boosting her own DEF, she reliably shields allies from danger. As she takes hits, she can counterattack through her Passive Skill, with a chance to inflict Burn, allowing her to pressure enemies even while playing a defensive role.
Her kit rewards aggressive tanking. When Sagan is hit, she gains the Inner Flame buff, which increases her DMG Dealt and Ultimate DMG Multiplier. Thanks to her Taunt, she can consistently trigger counters and stack these buffs, giving her surprising offensive presence for a Defender.
Sagan also provides valuable team-wide damage buffs. Her Ultimate grants an ATK increase to all allies, and at Ascension 1, she additionally provides a CRIT DMG buff, significantly boosting the squad’s overall firepower. This makes her more than just a damage sponge—she actively amplifies team DPS.
In terms of survivability, Sagan is extremely hard to remove. With her Additional Passive Skill, she can revive once per battle when incapacitated, allowing her to re-enter the fight and continue protecting the team. At higher Ascensions, her support improves further: A4 extends Taunt duration, and A6 grants a Shield to all allies after using her Ultimate.
She fits best in teams that want a single, self-sufficient Defender who can hold the frontline alone. Sagan pairs well with strong Attackers and Supports like Chester, Kikoru, or Reno, but should generally avoid being paired with other Taunt users or Defenders.
