Suggestions
Recommended Shikigamis: Shuten Doji, Kyuketsu Hime, Inugami, ….
- To bring the best out of Dice Sprite, use it with Shozu to make good counter attacks while also protect the team effectively. It’s wise to equip Dice Sprite to Shikigamis that have special effects from passives/abilities, such as Kamaitachi (stuns with normal attacks), Hotarugusa (heals herself with normal attacks) …. It’s also recommended to have Shikigamis who can provide teammates with shields (Ichimoku Ren, Koi, Hako no Shojo) or Souls that can do the same (Sea Sprite, Jizo Statue, Pearl) in the team to help Dice Sprite trigger her effects.
- With Dice Sprite, you should have RES as high as possible and leave the others to the equipping Shikigami.
Notes
- Have in mind that normal attacks can also cause special effects (Kamaitachi stuns with normal attacks, Hotarugusa heals herself with normal attacks)
