Grand Pope Hakurei

Grand Pope Hakurei is an excellent damage unit, capable of sweeping away a rival lineup if the conditions are right. The old man attacks out of turn, gains immunity, control enemies, and has low energy consumption. Hakurei is excellent in almost every way… but it’s expensive to build and requires a high investment in Skill Books and Cosmos. Is the best DPS? I don’t think so, the saint needs to meet certain conditions, and above all, gain immunity. But under the right conditions the old man can do a lot of damage and wipe out all opponents really fast.

Pros

  • Great DPS
  • Put an energy control over characters with multiples turns
  • Attacks out of turn
  • Gains immunity

Cons

  • Expensive to build

Skill Descriptions

Skill 1

Praesepe Underworld Waves

Deals 105%/115%/125%/135%/145% C.DMG to an enemy Saint and applies 1 stack of [Returning Spirits]. If the target already has [Returning Spirits], immediately performs a Pursuit attack dealing 110%/120%/130%/140%/150% C.DMG.

Skill 2

Praesepe Soul Burial Waves

Deals 240%/260%/280%/300%/350% C.DMG to all enemies and applies 1 stack of [Returning Spirits] to each enemy Saint and 1 stack of [Azure Flame Barrier] to each ally Saint. Praese Demonic Blue Flames (Unlocked upon first reaching 50 Vigor, can be cast by consuming 1 Energy after Hakurei acts) Deals 240% C.DMG to all enemies and performs a Pursuit attack on all targets with [Returning Spirits], dealing 110% C.DMG without consuming [Returning Spirits] stacks. Praesepe Returning Spirits Wave (Unlocked upon first reaching 60 Vigor, can be cast by consuming 2 Energy after Hakurei acts) Deals 400% C.DMG to an enemy Saint. If the target dies this turn, applies 1 stack of [Azure Flame Barrier] to all ally Saints at the start of the next turn. If the target doesn't die this turn, enters [Sealed State] at the end of the turn, preventing active skill use for 2 rounds. Cannot be purified.

Skill 3

Centennial Wish

After each effective turn ends, Hakurei applies 1 stack of [Returning Spirits] to each enemy Saint and 1 stack of [Azure Flame Barrier] to each ally Saint. [Returning Spirits]: When the bearer's effective turn ends, 1 stack is consumed, increasing active skill energy cost by 1 for this turn and reducing ATK by 5%/5%/10%/10%/15%. At the end of the round, Hakurei performs a Pursuit attack on all bearers of [Returning Spirits], consuming all stacks and dealing C.DMG equal to 110%/120%/130%/140%/150% x consumed stacks. [Azure Flame Barrier]: When the bearer receives a debuff, 1 stack is consumed to absorb the debuff, causing Hakurei to perform a Pursuit attack on the attacker (except ally Saints, limited to 10 times per turn), dealing 110%/120%/130%/140%/150% C.DMG. At the end of the round, all remaining stacks are consumed, increasing the bearer's DEF by 10% per stack for the next round and providing a shield equal to 110%/120%/130%/140%/150% of Hakurei's ATK.

Skill 4

Sword of Athena

In this battle, each time [Returning Spirits] or [Azure Flame Barrier] is applied, Hakurei gains 1 Vigor (up to 60 Vigor): 10 Vigor: When enemies are attacked, they have a 30%/35%/40%/45%/50% chance to be applied with 1 additional stack of [Returning Spirits]; 20 Vigor: After an ally's [Azure Flame Barrier] absorbs a debuff, Hakurei has a 30%/35%/40%/45%/50% chance to apply an additional shield equal to 110%/120%/130%/140%/150% of Hakurei's ATK; 30 Vigor: Hakurei is immune to all (basic) control effects; 50 Vigor: Upon first reaching 50 Vigor, Hakurei immediately gains an extra turn after acting, Hakurei's Pursuit attacks deal additional true damage equal to 10%/10%/15%/15%/20% of the enemy's max HP (not exceeding 200%/200%/300%/300%/400% of Hakurei's C.ATK), and permanently unlocks [Praesepe Ghost Azure Flame]; 60 Vigor: Upon first reaching 60 Vigor, Hakurei immediately gains an extra turn after acting, when Hakurei uses Hidden Skills, he can absorb 10%/10%/20%/20%/30% ATK from each ally with [Azure Flame Barrier] and convert it to his own C.ATK, returning the absorbed ATK after the skill ends, and permanently unlocks [Praesepe Returning Spirits Wave].
