Intro

Hero Guide – Tachibana Chiyo

Tachibana Chiyo was born into the leading family of the contemporary Huuga ninjas. Honest, loyal, and dutiful, she has acquired all knowledge from the Book of Ninjutsu at a young age. She'd have become the next leader of Huuga ninjas were she not a female. It is said that she is best wielding a ninja dagger, but it's wrong. Only her father knows that she is able to utilize all kinds of Ninjutsu items. Exactly because of this that she keeps them as her trump card, never showing what she is capable of and always keeping a low profile. Only a lord worthy of her loyalty and the enemy about to die in her hands know of the true powers of Tachibana Chiyo. To the outside world, Chiyo is just a ninja that seems to "know her way well." "My lord, Chiyo will always guard you from the shadows."

As the daughter of the Huuga Ninja's leader, Tachibana Chiyo underwent brutal and rigorous training from a young age. Despite being widely recognized for her gift, tradition forbade her from inheriting the position of the leader. To make up for it, on the day of her graduation, her father bestowed upon her his cherished short sword and throwing blades as his formal acknowledgment.

Upgrade Priority

1Ninpo: Mistveil

2Ninpo: Swallows

3Ninpo: Rebirth (1TP)

Tachibana Chiyo　Ninpo: Mistveil > Ninpo: Swallows The massive early DMG reduction from Ninpo: Mistveil lets the team's DPS avoid worrying about troop losses, while Ninpo: Rebirth also lets our Heroes provide solid Recovery; pairing it with a Vanguard Hero further enhances the healing effect.

Liu Feixue　Arts of Taiyi > Soul Retreat Arts of Taiyi and Soul Retreat work together to deal solid DMG early in battle.

Kanna Rin　Inversion > Pursuit This can inflict PDEF reduction on the enemy along with a devastating single-target burst, breaking the enemy's formation early in battle.

Alternative Comps

Alternatively, try the team compositions below: Liu Feixue → Hanah / Raphael, Vanguard Heroes that can deal follow-up DMG. Kanna Rin → Olivia / Zhao Lianyi, can be paired with any DPS-type Hero. If you choose to use two Warrior-type DPS Heroes, Tachibana Chiyo's skill choice can be adjusted to secondarily invest in Passive Ninpo: Rebirth.

Lucia's Summary

Tachibana Chiyo is a Hero who grants substantial DMG reduction to teammates, keeping the team alive early in battle. Her guaranteed-trigger Ninpo: Mistveil also raises the team's margin for error. Compared to a single-core playstyle that focuses all protection on one DPS, using Tachibana Chiyo lets our side field two powerful DPS Heroes at once, wiping out the opponent early in battle. If you're a commander with plenty of high-firepower DPS Heroes but nowhere to use them, Tachibana Chiyo is a major asset that lets you unleash their full potential.
