How to use Gin

Editorial (kit-based). These notes come from the official numbers above, not from live testing. We'll update them as players gather in-game data.

  • Layered Defense shred: Skill “Cruel Venomous Snake” strips −20% Physical Defense for 10 Counts, Mortal Blow cuts an extra −10%, and Final Innate offers a 50% chance per Arts 1 hit to reduce Defense by 5%.
  • Final Innate self-buff: Landing Arts 1 “Reach” grants own Attack +10% (up to 2 stacks, +20% total for 20 Counts), turning his elongated thrust into both a poking tool and a ramp engine.
  • Fluid team pacing: Innate Shadow archetype (+1 Evasion Gauge, +30 Draw Points on Vanishing Evasion) pairs with −3 Counts on his own Switch cooldown and −1 Count to team Switch cooldown on every dodge.
  • Ideal enabler for physical hypercarries: Pairs devastatingly with pure physical attackers (Ichigo, Grimmjow, Renji) who maximize the value of enemy Physical Defense drops.
