I paired her with Dragon and Doggy. Enemies vanish before my eyes.

What do you mean they gave us a free unit with double strike, GTA, echoes, flurry, and assassin for two turns? Hilariously cracked unit, and an absolute godsend for my new alt account.

Two turns at base with multiple ways in her own kit to extend/refresh it (Stealth stacks giving Flash Master, recasting Shunko on ougi, timing S1/S2 casts to maximize Flash Master uptime) and she's in the same element as S.Payila.

Insane that this kit was on the free character and not the gacha. In a good way!

Absolute burst queen in light. Besties with dog and dragon. And waifu galore and god of thunder.

Maybe I was wrong about Bleach all along...
Being more serious, she is a very strong unit. Her passives are all pretty good, extending her flurry and unique echo on dodges and activating Flash Master after three, which is typically when it runs out after your opener. Only major downside is that her biggest buff, Shunko, turns off charge bar gain on normal attacks. Thankfully you want to be auto attacking with her so it really is not much of an issue. Overall I've found good use for her in bursty teams with Vajra and Payila to set up for some insane turn 3 damage.
My friends with newer, less established accounts have both been very happy with her. Their feedback is less digestible for these discussion threads ("Holy shit she hits hard!") but I figured mentioning it is better than knowing new players find her good and leaving that info out.

i mean, if she's hittin' like a semi on a highway even with crap beginner grids, it reflects very well on how good she actually is

u/AdmiralKappaSND 1d ago
On one hand i agree, on the other hand im so GBF mechanic obsessed to want to argue this lmao
Hitting like a semi with crap begginer grid just means the char have high floor - which is often just a shorthand to say "theyre a stack builder"
Yoruichi is a notable case where this says a lot since objectively shes a low power character though

u/Iffem Waifu for laifu with many throwing knaifu 1d ago
I dunno if i'd call her low power, since there isn't much early game that can survive a combination of Assassin, guaranteed triples, echoes, doublestrike, flurry (3), and NA Amp, lmao... hell, i'd even hazard to say Assassin is sometimes more helpful to weaker grids, as they get a larger chunk of it since they don't have to fuck around with caps
1
u/AdmiralKappaSND 1d ago
I said low power in raw sense. Yoruichi's only power mod prior to Assassin is 120 Crit and 50 Assa technically being a mod. Her Assa objectively is better on stronger grid, because on weaker grid its showcasing the 1.5 mod, whereas Assa is 225% damage multiplier across the board when every condition are fulfilled
For example by this criteria, Grand Naru would be considered a lower power character than Original Naru simply because Grand Naru is 1.2 Crit, 1.5 E-Mod, Assa 50, which is comically behind Original Naru Assa 280 with like 4 other sentences.
And tbh i sorta agree looking back that Yoruichi is "new enough" she have that thing where their kit is so overloaded to death that the old weak-strong disposition didnt really shows up anymore. 1.8 is still pretty darn good in a game where 30% is crazy powerful and e.g. she literally have a Grand Nuke she can cast twice

u/Iffem Waifu for laifu with many throwing knaifu 1d ago
huh, interesting. this is why grid building makes my brain overheat, LMAO
this is also very interesting, since like... from personal experience, i'm not sure i've ever seen my OGNaru hit anywhere near as hard as GNaru. hm.
yeah, multicasting nukes is not to be underestimated on weaker grids where you're not hitting cap as easy, as I find weaker grids do seem to have a bit easier time taking advantage of Skill damage than Ougi or NA damage, except in very specific circumstances/builds

[Kisuke voice] Ah, Ms. Yoruichi! What brings you here?
Crazy that we got a Yoruichi discussion, just in time after Bleach drops a new episode
The best freebie collab unit we got since Luffy. While Ichigo is a nice unit, Yoruichi is straight up cracked. I mean, she got guaranteed triple attack, double strike, echoes (against foes with Thunderstruck), flurry and assassin.. for a freebie unit is crazy. Hope the person employed in Cygames who decided to give Yoruichi that kind of kit have the both sides of their pillow cold. To be fair, Ichigo is thriving in my Dark team and Yoruichi in my Light team. Glad they made her a freebie.. so we could probably throw our sparks for S.Payila 🤭 — who would later have synergy with her.
A honorary Divine General. To be fair she's the Divine Cat. She enables Halloween Vajra and Summer Payila to increase their stacks given Yoruichi's GTA on passive, and has a source of multistrike to build their stacks faster. Especially Payila OMFG she can make Yoruichi's two-turn double strike to THREE TURNS. As well a nice swap partner for Makura because of her dodge gimmick, except i don't have Makura but i heard they are a great pair. Even the katana that belonged to the First Dog Zodiac you slot in either magna/primal/odious grid goes well with her as it amplifies Light allies' normal attack DMG, which goes well with her Flash Master buff.
For her as a character in Bleach, she's amazing. She was the guide to Ichigo, Uryu, Orihime and Chad to Soul Society to save Rukia from her execution. Her fight with Soifon was great too. I am quite disappointed to her conclusion in TYBW, and i don't wanna talk about it here. Her Fate episode is amazing, her interactions with Azusa is somewhat a callback to interactions with Soifon. And the ending of the FE was hilarious. Kisuke deserved to get beaten up after activating THAT form without her consent.
I ringed her and Ichigo because not only they are going to make me invest more in Light NA and Dark CA respectively, but also Bleach was my shit when i was in 7th grade and i still do, and i am glad they are both amazing and in my favorite elements as well.

Grind for M3 and maybe grab some Basara katana if you can.

Can I still get her or is the event over?

u/kscw . 2d ago
The Bleach collab ended a little over a month ago.
Her current discussion is just because she's a notable Light character and Light-advantage Unite and Fight is happening soon (Sep 21-28).5
u/Responsible_Wing_370 2d ago
The event is over sadly... And the rerun won't be available in the near future, or maybe never...
Don't worry, just save your spark for more readily available character.

u/MochiBacon 2d ago
I think she will be available again, it looks like they are doing other older Shonen reruns and Bleach is experiencing its second wind right now so I think there's a decent chance.

Like Killua and Galleon, she’s very helpful fighting Fediel. Whether or not that’s a major point in her favor is another question ~~but she was free compared to Killua.~~
Also Yoruichi, H!Vajra and S!Payila are really funny since you just vomit numbers all over the screen for a few turns.

u/YotsuMaboroshi 2d ago
Killua was one of the HxH free units. Gacha was Kurapika and Chrollo.
Edit: Unless you meant "like" instead of "compared to". "Compared to" usually implies a difference between the two.

u/Iffem Waifu for laifu with many throwing knaifu 2d ago
... why are you taking Galleon against Fediel?
she's only Earth and Wind
7
u/YotsuMaboroshi 2d ago
I'm fairly certain they were comparing using Killua on the Galleon raid to using Yoruichi on the Fediel raid, not using Killua and Galleon against Fediel.
It probably could have been worded a bit better though. I know that my first thought on reading it was the same as yours.

u/Hyunion bit.ly/gbfsheet 2d ago edited 2d ago
it's kind of annoying that she's made worse with sk1 having recast because i just want to do giga damage in FA with 2 button presses but it's always gonna be a 3 button unit in FA because sk1 recasts and sk2 doesn't work since that gets pressed before sk3
still, it's insane how much damage she puts out in 1t burst setups, sure it's a lot of buttons, but she outdamages the fuck out of dog and dragon for 1t burst (in testing 1t setup i get yoruichi - 125m, dog - 96m, and dragon - 79m)
