Tier table at a glance
S Tier
ONI
鬼
Epic/ドレイン
True lifesteal brawler — the v8 standout that heals from real damage dealt.
- HP
- 9,500
- ATK
- ×1.15
- DEF
- ×0.85
Pros
- Mid 'Devour': 1,000 damage + heal for 85% of actual damage dealt.
- Grand Ult: 2,000 damage + 100% lifesteal + opponent SP -15%. Massive reward in straight brawls.
Cons
- 9,500 HP / 0.85 DEF is fragile. Barriers/reflect cut the lifesteal payoff; Tengu burst and Ninja disruption are awkward.
Good vs：Miko, Kyuubi, Onmyoji
Bad vs：Tengu, Ninja
YAMABUSHI
山伏
Rare/持続ダメージ
DoT specialist that bypasses barriers — the cleanest anti-tank pick.
- HP
- 10,500
- ATK
- ×0.95
- DEF
- ×1.05
Pros
- Mid 'Fire Mantra' costs 40 SP for 1,280 DoT. Cheap, repeatable, lethal in long fights.
- Grand Ult: 2,880 DoT + ATK -20%. Ignores barriers while lowering incoming damage.
Cons
- Normal typing damage is mid at ATK 0.95. Miko's heals + damage reduction can neutralize the DoT plan.
Good vs：Shogun, Ninja, Tengu, Kyuubi
Bad vs：Miko
TENGU
天狗
Epic/バースト
Even with non-stacking buffs, still the fragile high-risk burst attacker.
- HP
- 9,500
- ATK
- ×1.20
- DEF
- ×0.90
Pros
- Mid 'Lightning Gale' costs 35 SP for 600 damage + ATK +35% for 9s. Refresh the buff and your typing carries the round.
- Grand Ult: 2,500 damage + ATK +45% for 10s. HP bumped to 9,200 lets you actually live through the burst window.
Cons
- DEF 0.90 means big incoming damage. Shogun reflect and Yamabushi DoT are still hard losses.
Good vs：Samurai, Oni, Onmyoji
Bad vs：Shogun, Yamabushi
A Tier
MIKO
巫女
Rare/回復持久
Pure attrition — heals and damage reduction trade pace for time.
- HP
- 10,800
- ATK
- ×0.85
- DEF
- ×1.14
Pros
- Mid 'Purification' costs 50 SP for a clean 1,500 heal. Rotation rate keeps you patched up.
- Grand Ult: 2,800 heal + 25 SP refill + 15% damage reduction for 8s. Carves out a 'take the hit' window on demand.
Cons
- ATK 0.85 is the lowest in the roster. Oni lifesteal and Onmyoji lockdown can close the gap before sustain stabilizes.
Good vs：Yamabushi, Shogun, Sohei
Bad vs：Oni, Kyuubi, Onmyoji
KYUUBI
九尾
Legendary/複合万能
Still the most versatile Legendary — instant damage, DoT, and healing in one kit.
- HP
- 9,500
- ATK
- ×1.10
- DEF
- ×1.05
Pros
- Mid 'Fox Fire' now costs 55 SP for 1,000 damage + 600 DoT. High total-damage per cast.
- Grand Ult: 1,800 damage + 1,200 DoT + 800 heal. Pressure + finish + reset all in one button.
Cons
- No real disruption or reflect. Samurai's clean damage and Oni's lifesteal grind through the toolkit.
Good vs：Ninja, Shogun, Onmyoji
Bad vs：Samurai, Oni
NINJA
忍者
Common/速攻スタン
Stun and combo reset, now with real burst to back it up.
- HP
- 9,800
- ATK
- ×1.15
- DEF
- ×0.90
Pros
- Mid 'Smoke Screen' costs 30 SP for 200 damage + 1.5s stun + combo reset. Lowest-cost compound disruption in the game.
- Grand Ult: 3.5s stun + 1,800 damage. HP bumped to 9,000 cushions the glass-cannon body.
Cons
- Shogun reflect and Kyuubi's DoT pace out-attrition the kit.
Good vs：Sohei, Oni, Tengu
Bad vs：Shogun, Kyuubi
B Tier
SHOGUN
将軍
Legendary/カウンター
Tightened reflect window and lower heal — the pure counter-tank.
- HP
- 10,500
- ATK
- ×1.00
- DEF
- ×1.10
Pros
- Mid 'Iron Wall': 25% reflect for 12s. Aggressive opponents feed their own pressure back.
- Grand Ult: 1,500 damage + 800 heal + 30% reflect for 12s. Survives matchups where reflect is dead.
Cons
- DoT, heals, and lockdown bypass reflect. Slow to actually close the fight on its own.
Good vs：Tengu, Ninja
Bad vs：Yamabushi, Miko, Onmyoji
SOHEI
武僧
Common/重装防御
Tighter barriers and SP cost — the dependable tank baseline.
- HP
- 11,200
- ATK
- ×0.90
- DEF
- ×1.10
Pros
- HP 11,500 / DEF 1.10 → EHP 12,650. Mid barrier costs 60 SP for 1,500 absorption / 12s.
- Grand barrier absorbs 2,400 for 14s. Run the clock down and win on HP comparison.
Cons
- ATK 0.90 makes typing pressure slow. Miko heals, Onmyoji lockdown, and Ninja disruption all bypass the shield plan.
Good vs：Samurai, Kyuubi
Bad vs：Miko, Onmyoji, Ninja
ONMYOJI
陰陽師
Rare/呪術テクニカル
Combo + SP denial, now with enough damage to finish.
- HP
- 9,500
- ATK
- ×1.05
- DEF
- ×0.95
Pros
- Mid 'Shikigami Strike' costs 55 SP for 1,400 damage + combo reset + opponent SP -10%.
- Grand Ult: 2,100 damage + SP -25% + 10s combo lock. Stops damage-first picks cold.
Cons
- 9,500 HP / 0.95 DEF is light. Samurai pure damage, Oni lifesteal, and Tengu burst can race past the lockdown.
Good vs：Miko, Yamabushi
Bad vs：Samurai, Oni, Tengu
SAMURAI
侍
Common/バランス
The clean damage baseline — exactly what a free starter should be in v8.
- HP
- 10,000
- ATK
- ×1.00
- DEF
- ×1.00
Pros
- Mid 'Iaigiri' deals 1,500, Grand Ult 'Musou Slash' deals 2,800. Build SP, fire, keep typing.
- 10,000 HP / 1.00 ATK / 1.00 DEF. The 'ruler' against which every matchup is measured.
Cons
- No disruption, healing, or defense. Sohei barriers, Tengu burst, and Shogun reflect all leave you out of answers.
Good vs：Onmyoji, Kyuubi
Bad vs：Sohei, Tengu
