Guide: Tatsu

In short

Tatsu is a Legendary Force Attack champion from the Shadowkin, built for the Arena: AoE Sleep plus Resistance Down, a self-cleanse and a full buff steal on A3. Outside PvP she is average, and she brings almost nothing to Clan Boss or Chimera. Build her as pure damage — speed, crit, attack — and let her passive cover part of the Accuracy.

Strengths

  • A2 hits all enemies and, fully booked, lands Sleep for 1 turn and 50% Resistance Down for 2 turns with a 100% chance — the enemy team loses its opening turn.
  • Passive: immune to Sleep, and gains +10 Accuracy and +3% C. DMG for every buff on the enemy team, so she scales by herself against buff-heavy squads.
  • A3 removes every debuff from her and steals every buff from the target before hitting twice — a self-cleanse and a strip in one slot.
  • If A3 kills the target, she gains unremovable +50% ATK and +30% C. DMG for 2 turns and snowballs from there.
  • Her Turn Meter fills for each debuff she transfers or applies, so she cycles faster than her base 100 Speed suggests.

Weaknesses

  • Low base stats: 1,553 ATK and 100 SPD, so gear has to do the heavy lifting.
  • Sleep breaks on any damage — the control is a one-shot tool and needs the team to not wake enemies up.
  • Almost useless in Clan Boss (2/5) and Chimera (2.5/5): bosses don't care about Sleep or Resistance Down.
  • Against buff-less teams she has to build real Accuracy, and gear slots are tight on a damage dealer.

Where to use

Her home is the Arena — Classic, Tag Team and Live Arena (4/5), where Sleep plus the strip do the work. Second home is Faction Wars (4/5) as the faction's main damage dealer. Hydra (3/5), dungeons and Hard mode (3/5) are situational damage spots. Skip her in Clan Boss (2/5), Doom Tower (2.5/5) and Chimera (2.5/5).

Stats and gear

Priority: C. RATE → C. DMG → SPD → ATK → ACC. Targets: 100% C. RATE, 250%+ C. DMG, 200+ SPD (230–250 for Arena), 4,000+ ATK and 200–250 ACC — lower is fine against buff-heavy teams since the passive adds +10 per buff. Sets: Relentless as the main pick (extra turns on A2 and A3), Savage, Cruel and Lethal for damage, Perception if Accuracy is short, Stoneskin for Arena survival.

Masteries and blessings

Go full damage: Pierce Defenses, Foekiller, Piercing Strike, Constant Onslaught, Bloodthirsty Prowess. Blessings: Soul Reap to stack up on kills, or Lightning Cage. Relics: Malefic Talon, The Cat's Gaze, Gorecrescent.

Tombs

Book A2 first: level 6 cuts the cooldown to 3 turns and levels 4–5 push the debuff chance to 100% — that is her biggest power spike. Then A3 for the −1 cooldown at level 4. A1 damage comes last.

Verdict

An Arena damage dealer with built-in strip and AoE control — strong in her lane, a filler pick everywhere else.
