S TierSakiri Build Guide
Sakiri provides reliable crowd-control with her held skill and considerable ATK% buffs with her Ultimate. When paired with her Best-in-Slot Arc and Cartridge, this ATK bonus is amplified even further. These points, combined with her rather universal use case, solidify her as an S-tier character welcome on most teams alongside most DPS units.

Best Teams
In most teams, Sakiri serves as a universal ATK buffer and crowd-controller, often paired with high-power DPS units like Nanally. Esper Zero serves as the Burst Sub-DPS, going on-field after receiving Sakiri's buffs and taking advantage of airborne enemies. Adler provides shielding and Incantation DoT damage, which helps Nanally trigger Hexed.
Nanally
Main DPS
Zero
Sub-DPS
Burst sub-DPS that benefits from Sakiri's buffs and airborne enemies.
Sakiri
Buffer
Universal ATK buffer and crowd-controller.
Adler
Support
Shielder with Incantation DoT damage to help trigger Hexed.
Cast Sakiri's hold Skill to clump and airborne enemies.
Use Sakiri's Ultimate to suppress and increase team ATK.
Swap to Esper Zero for burst damage on grouped enemies.
Adler provides shields and DoT to maintain Hexed.
Skill Priority
Kiroumaru Headbutt (Basic Attack)
Sakiri's Basic Attack can be saved for last or ignored altogether since she will not be using this attack most of the time.
Squash! (Support Skill)
Her Support Skill offers an extra instance of AoE Incantation DMG, which is welcome in most combat scenarios. Level this third.
Feast of Gluttony (Ultimate)
Despite Sakiri's Ultimate being her best ability, the only thing it scales with when leveled is its DMG, which makes it viable to be maxed second as she will frequently use this ability, but not as frequently as her Skill.
Devour Whole (Skill)
Sakiri's Skill should be maxed first to improve its damage, which Sakiri will often be using in combat.
Awakening Priority
Wishful Reliance
Skyrockets Sakiri's ATK buffs even more after casting her Ultimate. This is amazing to have since it amplifies Sakiri's supportive capabilities even more. Getting this first is recommended.
Sensory Collapse
Amazing Awakening that removes nearly all need for Energy Regeneration for Sakiri's Ultimate, provided that she can turn the enemy airborne with her hold Skill. Get this second.
Diffusive Haze
Increases the duration of Suppressed on enemies to 6s from 3s. Good ability to have, since it improves Sakiri's crowd-control contribution. Get this third in most cases.
Dextrous Separation
Great ability to acquire since Sakiri's main rotation involves using her hold Skill to group enemies, then using her Ultimate. This effectively gives her bonus damage.
Adhesive Grip
Gives Sakiri more damage for each enemy defeated within 15s. Good to have, but can be negligible in a vacuum, considering Sakiri will oftentimes be paired with other high-damage units.
Gluttonous Dissolution
Quality-of-Life Awakening that lets Sakiri remove 3 weak enemies from the field immediately. Get this last since it makes the least difference to her output.
How to Play
Cast your Skill in its Hold form to draw enemies in, clumping them and rendering most airborne. Then use your Ultimate to suppress enemies and increase the team's ATK. Finally, swap to your buffed DPS units to run damage rotations on the grouped and debuffed opponents.
Rotations
- 1 Standard Sakiri Rotation: Shielder/Mitigation Unit Skill → Sakiri Hold Skill → Sakiri Ultimate → Swap to DPS
Tips
- Use Skill to stun enemies and trigger Esper Cycles.
- Team up with Anima or Chaos characters for Hexed or Scorch team comps.
- Ultimate raises team ATK and stuns enemies, use whenever possible.
- Can instantly kill low-level enemies with Basic Attack hold, but has long cooldown.
