Intro

The slaughter-loving, self-aware cursed blade "Guren" has arrived in Orisries! Follow Lucia to learn more about this Hero~

The cursed blade Guren, once an ordinary oodachi, turned spiritual after taking too many lives on the battlefield and at the hands of swordsmen. As a result, it grew self-conscious and began to dominate its owner's awareness, compelling them to kill repeatedly. Following a series of disastrous events, it was eventually sealed away by the Mikohime. Over time, Guren became a legend for its ability to keep children from crying at night. Until one day, its seal was unintentionally broken, and the savage, bloodthirsty blade met the world once again. However, its emergence in the guise of a girl appears to be a departure from mythology... "If you're intrigued, pick me up and take a look at me... I'll definitely not take advantage of the opportunity to steal your body... really."

Skill Breakdown

Lv.4The skill DMG receives a slight bonus based on own ATK and an extra bonus based on own SPD.Lv.7The skill DMG receives an extra bonus based on own ATK and a large bonus based on own SPD.

Lucia：Guren sweeps across the battlefield like a rain of blood, trading reduced DEF for own brigade to gain powerful DMG output. Compared to other Tacticians, Guren is more of a purely offense-oriented Hero.

Core 2

Possessed Blade

If the number of Legion Cavalry troops is 3: At the beginning, increase DMG taken by all enemy Infantry troop(s) by 7.21%, and every 1 turn(s), there is a(n) 40% chance to increase DMG dealt by 1 of own Heroes and 1 of own troops (prioritizing Brigade 1) by 108.08% for 1 turn(s), and increase the DMG taken by 1 of own troop by 20.09% for 1 turn(s).

Lv.4The skill effect receives a slight bonus based on own ATK and an extra bonus based on own SPD.Lv.7The skill effect receives an extra bonus based on own ATK and a large bonus based on own SPD.

Lucia：This skill perfectly showcases the overwhelming advantage of a Cavalry team. When the number of Cavalry troops reaches 3, the DMG taken by enemy Infantry troops is increased, and it also grants a significant DMG boost to own Hero of Brigade 1. During the explosive phase of turns 4 to 8, a 100%-activating DMG amplification effect can cause the enemy forces to collapse in an instant.

Core 3

Taintless Spirit

Every 1 turn(s), there is a(n) 60% chance to deal Physical DMG 164.5% of own BRV to 1 enemy troop, and remove 1 debuff for 1 of own Heroes and 1 of own troops (prioritizing Brigade 1).

Lv.4The skill DMG receives a slight bonus based on own ATK, and the activation chance receives a slight bonus based on own SPD.Lv.7The skill DMG receives an extra bonus based on own ATK, and the activation chance receives an extra bonus based on own SPD.

Lucia：This skill not only enables the Hero to deal considerable single-target DMG to the enemy but also removes debuffs from own Hero and own troop of Brigade 1. It serves as the perfect complement to Blood Blossom and Possessed Blade, allowing Guren to revel in bloodthirsty slaughter while mitigating the negative effects of those skills.

Guren is a cursed blade born from blood and hatred. Anyone who touches it will lose their sanity, becoming a puppet to the blade's spirit and unleashing hellish chaos in its wake. However, when Guren kills, she isn't particularly fixated on using the blade itself. To her, Cursed Blade: Guren is merely a vessel that gave birth to her, and a weapon that is simply easy to wield.

Not Evolved

EX Weapon Core 1

EX Weapon Effect

At the beginning, grant self Guaranteed Hit: There is a(n) 50% chance to ignore Evade during attacks. From turn 4 to turn 8, every 1 turn(s), deal Physical DMG 16.5% of own BRV to all enemy troops.

EX Weapon Core 1

EX Weapon Effect

At the beginning, grant self Guaranteed Hit: There is a(n) 100% chance to ignore Evade during attacks. From turn 4 to turn 8, every 1 turn(s), deal Physical DMG 99% of own BRV to all enemy troops. If the number of Legion Cavalry troops is 3: After using an active skill, increase PDEF and MDEF by 15 for 1 of own troops (prioritizing Brigade 1), up to 10 stack(s), up to 3 time(s) per turn.

Lucia：Cursed Blade: Guren enables Guren to gain Guaranteed Hit, countering enemy Heroes' Evade, and provides guaranteed AoE DMG during turns 4 to 8. When paired with Possessed Blade, it can unleash explosive DMG. When 3 Cavalry troops are deployed, it additionally grants own Hero of Brigade 1 a substantial boost to both PDEF and MDEF, greatly enhancing the survival capability of Brigade 1's Hero.

Guren　Possessed Blade > Blood Blossom Possessed Blade allows Guren to significantly boost DMG for own Brigade 1 Hero when own Legion is deployed with 3 Cavalry troops. If Guren herself is in Brigade 1, combining this with Blood Blossom's explosive DMG output and the exclusive effects of Cursed Blade: Guren, she can deliver a devastating blow to enemies during turns 4 to 8, catching them off guard and cutting them down.

Totori　Loving Whispers > Divine Grace Totori can dispel the debuffs inflicted on Guren when she is casting Possessed Blade and Blood Blossom, while also protecting Guren from negative effects such as DMG reduction or Confuse. This also allows Guren to unleash her full DMG potential flawlessly. While providing support effects, Totori herself is also a considerable DPS.

Claire　Electromagnetic Wall > Prismatic Field Through Bliss, she ensures the team's main DPS won't be targeted and instantly eliminated. Paired with Cursed Blade: Guren, Prismatic Field can offer massive stacking PDEF and MDEF, making Guren in position 1 steadfast and unyielding.

Alternative Comps

Alternatively, try the team compositions below: Guren + Belladonna + Taria This is an all-out DMG setup that sacrifices every defensive measure, with teammates making up for the skill DMG and BRV Guren lacks to tear through opponents in one strike. Shen Ruoshaung + Guren + Catherine As a Support, Guren can increase Shen Ruoshuang's DMG output, allowing her to sweep through the battlefield.

Lucia's Summary

Guren is a Tactician who sacrifices defensive attributes for massive DMG output. Blood Blossom delivers devastatingly powerful DMG, while Possessed Blade further provides a consistent DMG amplification effect, aiding Guren in eliminating enemies in her path. However, behind this formidable DMG boost lies the challenge of mitigating the increased DMG taken effect, a puzzle that every wielder of the cursed blade must solve. Whether it's adjusting the Hero's position to serve as competent support or seizing the advantage in battles against early- or late-game Heroes, Guren can leverage the strength of stable, high DMG output in the mid-game. By skillfully withstanding early aggression and defeating enemies before their late-game surge, the bloodthirsty cursed blade can unleash its full glory on the battlefield.
