Hikage is a collaboration unit from Senran Kagura. She is a Physical Wind DPS that deals very high single target while also applying a ridiculous number of chains.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Amazing spammable single target damage.
Great chain stacker for Last Night.

Evidently not good in AoE scenarios.

Costumes

Kind Ruthlessness is Hikage's costume, which is a high DMG single target skill that applies 12 chains.

Costume Designs

12 hits is quite frankly pretty crazy for a skill, especially when boosted by chain buffs like Refithea's. This makes her an ideal chain stacker + DMG dealer for Last Night.

For other content, she's great as a single target boss killer, especially when paired with a unit like Zenith for the vulnerability. She's generally not going to be great in content that requires AoE.

Her most important upgrade is +4 for the cooldown reduction, allowing her to spam her skill every turn. After that are the SP reductions, which are doubly important for a skill that is spammed.

Key Upgrades: Design +4, SP reductions, DMG Upgrades add up.
