Umetogi — guide

In short

Umetogi is an Epic Attack champion from the Dark Elves with the Magic affinity. He is a narrow single-target damage dealer: he fits Clan Boss, Arena and Faction Wars, where DEF-ignoring hits and self-buffs under Veil matter. Build him only for those jobs — gear priority is damage (C.DMG, ATK, C.RATE), not survivability.

Strengths

• Silent Death hits twice and each hit ignores 20% of the target's DEF — great against tanky targets and it stacks with Savage.
• Non-Existence grants Dense Veil, +30% SPD and fills his Turn Meter by 40%, so he cycles back fast.
• Under Veil or Dense Veil, both Silent Assassin and Silent Death gain +20% C.RATE — his own buffs feed his damage.
• The Conflict passive fully blocks one hit and counterattacks with his A1; against bosses it cuts incoming damage by 50% and still counterattacks.
• Aura gives +15% C.RATE to all allies in all battles — a free bonus in any team.

Weaknesses

• No debuffs and no team support beyond the aura: pure damage only.
• Weak base stats for an attacker — 1,564 ATK, 99 SPD, 13,215 HP, 859 DEF — so he hits softly and dies fast without gear.
• The C.RATE bonus and the passive both depend on Veil uptime; outside of it his damage is average, and the passive cooldown is a vulnerable window.
• Low ratings in Hydra, dungeons and Hard mode (1.0–2.0) — he brings nothing there.

Where to use

Best areas by rating: Clan Boss (3.5), Arena (3.5) and Faction Wars (3.5). In CB he brings steady single-target damage plus counterattacks, in Arena he finishes single targets through DEF, and in FW he simply clears the faction. Chimera (2.5), Hydra, dungeons and Doom Tower (2.0) only if you have nothing better. Hard content (1.0) is not his field.

Stats and gear

Priority: C.DMG → C.RATE → ATK → SPD, then add HP/DEF from substats so he survives until the passive is back. Rough targets: SPD 180–200+, C.RATE 85–100% (Veil tops it up), C.DMG 180–220%, ATK 3,000–3,500+. ACC is useless on him — he has no debuffs. Sets: Savage, Cruel, Fatal. For relics, look at Malefic Talon and Gorecrescent.

Masteries and blessings

Main tree Offense, second tree Defense (or Support depending on content). Key masteries from the list: Pierce Defenses, Foekiller, Piercing Strike, Bloodthirsty Prowess. Blessing: Phantom Touch — a simple, reliable damage-per-hit increase.

Tombs

Book Non-Existence first: two levels cut its cooldown, meaning more Dense Veil, more SPD and more Turn Meter — both his C.RATE bonus and his passive depend on it. Next is Silent Death (cooldown -1 at max level), and save Conflict books for last.

Verdict

A narrow but honest Epic: solid single-target damage through DEF plus counterattacks for Clan Boss, Arena and Faction Wars. Build him for those jobs only — he does not work as an all-rounder.
