'''Name : Amakusa Shirou Class : Rarity :



Character Description : My Favorite Husbando / Lolisitter and Dailies farming partner (also Boss killer in certain situation). Despite being called as "Sumanai of SSR" but you never know of his true power once you Use him more than you know.

'''ATK / Grailed ATK : 10972/12011 '''HP / Grailed HP : 14107/15455

'''Growth Curves : Reverse S

'''Attribute : Man

'''Star Absorption: 100 '''Star Generation: 10%

'''NP Charge ATK: 0.86% '''NP Charge DEF: 3%

'''Death Resist: 21%

'''Traits: Servant, Humanoid, Weak to Enuma Elish

'''Deck : QAABB Q = 3 A = 2 B = 1 Extra = 4-6

'''Active Skills : 1. Revelation A Effect :''' Gain critical stars each turn for 3 turns. Description : A "little" skill of him, "Is it worth to level this?" i can say, yes it was but not the first. although 9 Stars/turn is good but it would be better if we have Fragments of 2030? as replacement with just 1 star con. but forever. so This is recommend to level just to 6 or Last if you have QP and Heart of a Foreign God left. 2. Baptism Rite B+ Effect :''' Reduce target Undead or Demon enemy's NP gauge by 1. and Charges own NP gauge for 5 turns. Description : This is clearly his most effectiveness and Shine skill of Amakusa kun. it is good and best for him Soloeing against waves of Skelton or Ghost enemies. because as it activated it drain one of Undead / Demon enemies trait NP charge. and by Level 10 it can charge 20% of his guage for 5-turns duration. guaranteed of using NP at next few turns. with help of other servants's NP boost skills. and this one can help spam his NP easily. BE AWARE that this skill require a very long cooldown even at maxed level (10 turns). 3. God's Resolution C Effect :''' Chance to stun one enemy servant for 1 turn. Description : I could consider this one rather as "Extra" skill of him or Ruler's class skill. it's like downgraded version of Jeanne d'Arc's one. while Jeanne has higher chance of Stun enemies easier. Amakusa kun's seem to only sure-stun on maxed level. but stun rate still at high level though. due Amakusa kun being mixed between Guarding and Attacking Ruler. this one is Fair for him at least. can help well fighting against any servants and help stall them for one more turn if they about to NP next. those one turn given might be your "Miracle" to winning. so take your chance and do it.

'''Passive Skills : 1. Magic Resistance A Effect :''' Increased resistance to debuffs by 20%. Description : Nothing much, Ruler class suppose to being an "tank" in both Damage and Debuffs. with this high rank of character. it can great help prevent him from annoying debuffs / charm / stun.

'''Noble Phantasm : '''===================================================================
 * '''Name : Twin Arm Big Crunch / Type : Buster
 * Effect : Remove all enemies' buffs, Deals damage to all enemies.and Inflict Crit Chance Down on all enemies for 3 turns. (Post interlude)
 * Description : This is a major part of Amakusa kun, generally because of his NP considered as "Sumanai" level due to being unable to kill EXP hands with one shot. but people forget something. that his NP first effect is to remove buffs from all of them FIRST before attacking. meaning this move will always hit enemies regardless of their Def., Evade, invincible. unlike most characters where they will do damage first then remove buffs later. which enemies still able to avoid damage. and since Amakusa kun is Ruler which meant to fight against servants that like to spam buffs for themselves. this NP is fair level. and one thing that most players don't use bare NP against enemies. they will obviously buffs his ATK and damage from other supportive servants first. At post interlude. this NP can become more powerful and above average level by increase damage slightly and longer Criticals chance down effect to all enemies. overcharged effect is high enough. at 300%-500% you can completely penalized Assassins, Wywen or Cimera from critical spam completely. and even remove their annoying ATK, Evasion, Crits+ buffs. most people overlook this such a god-tier part of him. from this we can say that Amakusa kun was meant to fight a strong and spam buffs enemies (specially for Correct Traits).

Character Usage : like above said. he is very suitable for Boss rush / Skelton and Demon waves soloeing / Buffs and Critical spammer he is work well against Servants enemies by his 3rd skill. i can say again HE IS VERY STRONGER THAN YOU COULD IMAGINE OF.

'''Advantage : 1. High damage dealer with normal attacks thanks to class multiplier. 2. He is well-balanced between Tank and Attacking character due being Ruler which "RESIST" against most of enemies. and able to attack properly 3. His NP has a very "Miracle" effects. by exchanging of reduce damage a bit but His NP will always hit enemies no matter of their annoying buffs spammed. and with that, they will no longer able to harm you back soon without their buffs. 4. Amakusa kun's Bond CE helps entire party deal more damage with "Undead" or "Demon" enemies type. he is well par up with Rider and Caster servants fighting their foes easier.

'''Disadvantage : 1. As said above His NP even post interlude is very low damage due to buff-removal effect before attack. He needs a buffs from other servants or skills to work well. 2. Because of His Buff-Removal NP. Amakusa kun is Undoubtedly One of Most Terrifying when fighting him as ENEMY. 3. His Skills and moveset are Hard to understand and Complicated for Newer players that don't get used to game yet.

'''Recommended Craft Essences : 1. Buster Up CE = Limited / Zero Over, Heroine Eli-chan's Adventure, First Sunrise and Demon King of the Sixth Heaven. - They increase his Buster and mainly NP damage pretty well that can help fix his faults from low damage NP though his normal Buster card already strong as it's should.

2. NP Regen / damage CE = Prisma Cosmos, Heaven's Feel, The Black Grail, Praise Me! and Cute Orangette - These help him for enhancing and make his OP-ness becoming even more powerful than ever. they will help him generate NP guage faster activated with his 2nd skill. spamming NP every turn while soloeing isn't just a myth no more. thus can boost his NP damage greatly. Praise Me! can also work well along 1st skill to get more stars and give critical damage plus.

3. Normal Attacking CE = Before Awakening, Kiss Your Hand and Golden Sumo Wrestling ~Rocky Arena~ - Since he has high-tier damage multiplier dealing. these will properly boost his damage output, work best in Soloeing. and they able to help small things such as NP starting and defense up.

'''Suitable Party team members : 1. Zhuge Liang (Lord El-Melloi II) and Merlin
 * pretty much nothing to explaining. they are most suitable of his teammate and work best against Assassins enemies. but sure they can work well against any type of enemies. they will provide every buffs that he needs to fight like a God-team.

2. Jeanne d'Arc and Saint Martha (Ruler)
 * They're both are also Ruler, with full Rulers team together. Jeanne being as Tank. Saint Martha and Amakusa kun doing damage. a very reliable teamwork. this work against almost every enemies in game. and work best against newly BB fight. Try it out yourself and shall know how compatible they are.
