Soshiro Hoshina [Blade Specialist] is a Slash Supporter who specializes in empowering a single designated partner. His kit is heavily focused on amplifying one ally’s performance, making him an excellent choice when paired with a high-damage Attacker who can fully capitalize on his buffs.
His Combat Skill not only strengthens his partner but also randomly removes one debuff, offering valuable utility against stages filled with defense reductions or damage-over-time effects. While this cleanse is limited to his chosen ally, it can be game-changing in difficult encounters.
Through his Passive Skill, Hoshina grants a CRIT DMG buff to his partner, making him especially effective alongside Crit-focused DPS units such as 5★ Mina. At A1, he further increases his Battle Buddy’s CRIT Rate unconditionally, significantly boosting consistency and damage output. If you plan to invest in him, reaching A1 should be your first priority.
