Analysis

First, all the skills of Liu Ryoshu inflict a good amount of Burn Potency, but she is quite lacking in Count. This means that if you want Burn on enemies to actually stay for more than 1 turn and stack, you will need support from IDs that have Count, such as fielding Liu Rodion or Liu Hong Lu.

For her skills, she perfectly fuels Forest for the Flames on her own. She can fuel 4th Match Flame with the help of IDs that have Pride skills such as Liu Rodion or Magic Bullet Outis, which is good because 4th Match Flame is insanely good on Liu Ryoshu, due to its effects synergizing with her really well.

Plus, this makes it easier for her to activate her conditional effects on her skills. Without them active, she's looking at 11/14/12 clashing, but with conditionals active, she can go for an even more respectable 14/17/17, meaning that she really wants to be put in a Burn team to get those conditionals active ASAP.

Overall, okayish without a Burn team, but shines brighter with one, so make sure to run her with a Burn team if possible.

Pros

-Has decent application of Burn Potency.

-Great rolls for skills, power can be boosted even further if enemies have enough Burn.

-Clashing is great with conditionals active.

Cons

-Skills inflict no Burn Count.

-Clashing is mediocre without conditionals active.

-Wants to be ran alongside other dedicated Burn IDs, and most of the other Liu IDs are not as good.
