Raikou

Her name is Minamoto no Raikou (源 頼 光, Minamoto no Raikō), also known as Minamoto no Yorimitsu, a person from the 10th and 11th centuries. Born as the eldest child of the Minamoto clan, she is a figure who contributed to the development of Seiwa Genji's entire lineage as a founder of the Settsu Genji branch. She is also the strongest Mystery Slayer of the Heian period destroying many 'strange' creatures, such as Shuten-douji, Giant Spider / Tsuchigumo (土 蜘蛛, Lit. "Earth / Dirt Spider") from Imperial Capital Kyoto, and Ushi-Oni / Gyuuki ( 牛 鬼, Lit. "Ox-Oni") by Sensou-ji.

Raikou leads her subordinates, called the Four Heavenly Kings Raikou (頼 光 四 天王, Raikou Shiten'nō), consisting of Watanabe Tsuna, Sakata Kintoki, Urabe Suetake, and Usui Sadamitsu. They continue to protect the peace of the capital (Kyoto). Of course, she was a man according to history. As for the reason why she was on the nasuverse as a woman, it seemed to be related to the secret of her birth.

Unknown to most Japanese people, Raikou was born with the name Ushi-Gozen, a descendant of Gozu Tennou (牛頭., Lit. "Ox-Head Heavenly King"), and because of that she was abandoned and imprisoned by her father. However, realizing that she is a genius, her father invites her back to the family under the guise of "a new born child" named Minamoto no Raikou. The defeat of the Ushi-Oni was actually an act of separating and sealing the side of her Oni.

Although she was a level-headed warrior, she was a beautiful woman with great tolerance. Truly the personification of motherly love.

"So ... what is the problem with being a mother ...?"

An elegant, virtuous and glamorous woman in her blooming era. A determined career soldier, but she becomes whiny, chatty, and anxious when there is something related to Kintoki.

Although she appears to be a kind person who values ​​peace, owing to her non-human origins (due to mixed divinity), she sees things with downward gaze, focused only on the big picture.

On the other hand, her passion for the people she likes is intense, turning into a motherly "willing to fight against the whole world for her child." For her, a "lover" is the same as "her own child."

To Raikou, her Master / Contractor was a gift that appeared to pull herself out of darkness. After all, Master is a person destined (other than Kintoki) to accept Raikou (including her evil side) and form a contract with her. Thus, Raikou loves us very much. However, since her desire to monopolize was so strong, she could easily shed tears if she sensed an affair.

Calling them motherly is fine, but excessive motherly love is something that can rob them of their freedom and future.

Raikou's concern was madness that reached a high level, but Raikou's strong intellect and high intellect did not allow her madness to become known to others.

Raikou uses a katana called Doujigiri Yasutsuna. This weapon was made to execute criminals. A long sword that is understood to be the strongest of the 5 most famous swords in Japan. Even though it is considered the sword that cut off the head of the Shuten-douji, it cannot be confirmed because when Minamoto no Raikou was summoned to Chaldea, she refused to discuss the details of what happened at the Mount Ooe incident.

Outside of events, she has only appeared on one singularity (Final Singularity excluded), and that is Shimosa. There she was summoned as one of the 7 Swordsmen and placed in a Rider class container. She is very strong, even able to withstand serious slashes Musashi (2 hands) with just a sword in one hand.

Old Joururi: The True Form of Ushi-Gozen

Joururi is a traditional Japanese narrative musical form that contains chants to the accompaniment of shamisen. As a form of storytelling, the emphasis is on lyrics and narrative rather than the music itself.

It is told that the son of Minamoto no Mitsunaka, who was born as a child sent by heaven from Gozu Tennou, was left in the care of a temple as an unwanted child and was raised in secret because of his abnormal birth (being the son of an Oni). At the age of 15, this boy called himself "Ushi-Gozen", and he built a demon country for himself in Suzugamori, Shinagawa. The swordsman who went to exterminate him was Minamoto no Raikou, a samurai who had the same father as him, along with her subordinate Four Heavenly Kings.

Meanwhile, Sakata no Kintoki is thinking of saving Ushi-Gozen's life by any means possible. Away from the capital on a mission, Kintoki continues his journey to the Ushi-Gozen base, but negotiations fail. Ushi-Gozen's subordinates were slaughtered by the Four Heavenly Kings and Raikou.

Because it ended like this, Gozen entered the Asakusa River (Sumida River), and turned into a giant Ox with a height of about 10 shaku. Before he was about to spray water at the enemy army and drown them all, he realized that the Four Heavenly Kings were nowhere to be seen, so he charged towards the camp, killing 8 horsemen, and 7 strong samurai, before sinking again into the bottom of the Asakusa River and leaving behind the words. -this word,

"One year, thunder will nominate someone in the capital."

Ushi-Gozen is the avatar of Gozu Tennou, an incarnation of Śakra (Indra).

QAABBEx

Q: 3 hits

B: 1 hit

Ex: 5 hits

For NP gain, the best chain is AQAEx. With an NP charge of 0.46%, quick up to 11%, assuming neither crit nor overkill, so:

Arts + Quick + Arts + Extra

= 7.36% + 3.6777% + 12.88% + 4.6%

= 28.5177%

Not too fast, huh, but she has a star absorb skill of 1 for 3 turns which is enough to help her crit.

For stargen, the best chain is ABQEx. With a stargen of 4.9%, buster up 12%, quick up 11%, assuming neither crit nor overkill, so:

Arts + Buster + Quick + Extra

= 19.6% + 21.7% + 614.1% + 524.5%

= (0 star and 19.6% for 1 star) + (0 star and 21.7% for 1 star) + (6 star and 14.1% for 7 star) + (5 star and 24.5% for 6 star)

= 11 ~ 15 star

Her NP is quite unique in that it starges up before attacking, which means her NP is deliberately designed to create a star. When including NP, the best chain is BAQEx. If NP definitely use Buster up from skill 2, assume only OC 100% and the enemy is still 3, so:

NP + Arts + Quick + Extra

= 2501.1% + 419.6% + 914.1% + 1024.5%

= (25 star and 1.1% for 26 star) + (4 star and 19.6% for 5 star) + (9 star and 14.1% for 10 star) + (10 star and 24.5% for 11 star)

= 48 ~ 52 star

Great right? If OC is more certain, you can get more.

She can also do Buster chain via NPBB. With a stat at 12556 at level 90 (already 1000 Fou), Buster up 30% from skill 2 level 10, Buster up 12% from passive skill, divinity 150, base multiplier 1.1x, class-multiplier 1.5x, assume all crit , so :

NP + Buster + Buster

= NP + 49,259.11 + 55,754.76

"If you command it so… I, Raikou, shall become an Oni."

"Come to me, my loyal subjects, my limbs, my arms and armor… the Four Heavenly Kings themselves are as before you. Begin…!"

"Ox-King Storm Call - The Inescapable Net of Heaven!"

—Berserker

"Come forth the O 'Four Heavenly Kings. Nay, the divine messenger of the Ox-Head King. In the shape of my memories ... I'll go. "

"Ox-King Storm Call - The Inescapable Net of Heaven."

"Fufu ... Ahahahahaa! ―― Turn to ashes, you infidels!"

—Berserker

Ox-King Storm Call: The Inescapable Net of Heaven (牛 王 招 雷 ・ 天網 恢 々 ご お う し ょ う ら い ・ て ん も う か い か い, Goō Shōrai - Tenmōkaikai) is the NP of Minamoto no Yorimitsu. Gozu Tennou (牛頭 天王, Lit "Ox-Head Heavenly King"), who was the source of Raikou's demonic nature (abnormality), ordered her divine messenger (Ox, or perhaps Gyuuki / Ushi-Oni (牛 鬼, Lit " Ox-Oni ")), temporarily summoned by Raikou, and she eradicated the enemy camp along with those creatures. The weapon that materialized from her lightning was a weapon that represented the soul of her subordinate, the Four Heavenly Kings. The weapons are Kintoki's (Golden Eater) ax, Watanabe no Tsuna's (Sun-Nashi, dark red, once used to cut off Ibaraki's hand), Urabe no Suetake's bow, and Usui Sadamitsu's spear.

This was a sublimation of the story of Raikou when she exterminated the Ushi-Oni, the destructive power of the divine messengers had also risen above its original power. When the Ushi-Gozen persona surfaced, NP's name changed to Ox King's Power: Rising Fury (牛 王 招 力 ・ 怒 髪 天 昇 ご お う し ょ う り き ・ ど は つ て ん し ょ う, Goō Shōriki - Dohatsu Tenshou).

For the NP dmg calculation, we first collect the data. With a stat at 12556 at level 90 (already 1000 Fou), NP1 400%, Buster up 30% from skill 2 level 10, Buster up 12% from passive skill, divinity 150, base multiplier 1.1x, class-multiplier 1.5x , she produces around 40,747.82 dmg / enemy. Damage that much is really good for AoE Berserker. However, what makes Raikou shine even more is its stargen and special conditions. Here is how she dmg meet her special condition:

Demonic / Earth / Sky enemies = 61,046.73 / enemy

Demonic + Earth / Sky enemies = 81,345.63 / enemy.

Not playing with the damage. Her NP also generates a lot of stars which will be useful for crit in the next turn.

ACTIVE SKILL

1. Eternal Arms Mastership> Genji-clan Martial Arts Discipline

Rank: A +> EX (interlude)

Effect: Increases own critical star absorption (6000% at level 10) for 3 turns + Increases own critical damage (60% at level 10) for 3 attacks, 3 turns

Cooldown: 7/6/5

Her combat arts skills reached extreme levels. Preventing the degradation of fighting skills no matter what, even if she loses her weaponry, etc. As for the gameplay, it really helps her to crit because the Berserker's star absorbs are so low. Its duration of 3 turns also makes it quite constant to crit as long as stars are available. This can also help the NP gain.

2. Mana Burst (Lightning)

Rank: A.

Effect: Increases own Buster performance (30% at level 10) for 1 turn + Grants self Evasion for 1 turn.

Cooldown: 8/7/6

Because Gozu Tennou is the incarnation of Śakra (god Indra), Minamoto no Raikou has the power of Kitano Tenjin (Raijin). As a Servant, it is declared as Mana Burst. For gameplay, this doubles as a defensive and offensive skill. With a 6 turn CD while the skill duration is only 1 turn, like it or not, evade this skill is often ignored. Just be careful with the cake.

3. Mystery Killer

Rank: A.

Effect: Increases own damage (50% at level 10) against Demonic enemies for 3 turns + Increases own damage (50% at level 10) against enemy servants with Earth / Sky Attributes for 3 turns (This excludes Demi-Servants and Pseudo-Servants .)

Cooldown: 8/7/6

The statement that she was the strongest Mystery Slayer from the Heian period gave her this skill. It is very effective as an Anti-Mystery (Nobu's rival). For gameplay, this makes the damage increase when it meets the special condition. Quite a number of Servants have the Earth / Sky attribute, making them have many areas to shine. Also with a duration of 3 turns, you can be sure that the damage won't be ticklish.

PASSIVE SKILL

1. Magic Resistance

Rank: D

Effect: Increases own debuff resistance to by 12.5%.

Able to cancel the Single-Action spell. Its resistance power was only equivalent to a talisman that repelled magic energy.

2. Mad Enhancement

Rank: EX

Effect: Increases own Buster performance by 12%.

Despite having Mad Enhancement, it acts unlike other Berserkers, and remains its true intellectual self. However, due to the impurity of her Oni blood, that mentality had become morally corrupted due to her abnormal manifestations of motherly love. She could eliminate everyone for those he loved, protecting fanatically. She doesn't care about the moral social view if it's for love, doing all kinds of deeds without fear, which means she's mentally ill. She kept her distance from the other Berserkers by not letting them see the bad side of her. Persuading her or having correct her actions is impossible.

3. Riding

Rank: A +

Effect: Increases own Quick performance by 11%.

All vehicles and creatures up to Phantasmal Beast and Divine Beast levels can be used as mounts. However, it does not apply to Dragon Kind.

4. Divinity

Rank: C

Effect: Increases own damage by 150.

Raikou was born as a child sent by heaven from Gozu Tennou, so she has Divinity.

Lore:

───The execution of criminals.

This weapon was made for that purpose.

It needs neither a history nor anything else.

Yes, yes.

Indeed, that's correct. You understand quite well.

To I as the leader of the Minamoto it was a peerless companion, but to I as a mother it is a useless item ...

But more importantly, won't you talk with your mother more?

Ah, but before that. The night is getting deeper, so I suppose I should prepare a midnight snack.

Oh, I know!

If I'm going through all this trouble, we should call Kintoki too. I'm sure he'll be delighted.

Don't you think too? Heehee, of course───

Doujigiri Yasutsuna.

A long blade understood to be the greatest of Japan's five most celebrated swords.

Though it is considered to be the blade that lopped off Shuten Douji's head,

it can not be confirmed as the Minamoto no Yorimitsu summoned to Chaldea refuses to discuss the details of what happened on Ooeyama.

The possibility exists that rather than Yorimitsu, it was one of the Four Devas who slew Shuten Douji ...

Advantages:

Stargen in NP is good thanks to a lot of hit-count

Constant doing crit thanks to skill 1, as long as stars are available.

Skill 3 has a duration of 3 turns and quite a number of Servants with Earth / Sky attributes, allowing both NP and normal atk to be lifted.

Disadvantages:

The defensive mechanism is only in skill 2, and even then it is packaged with Buster up

Lower middle NP gain

Conclusion:

Overall she is still good in the late-game. The NP dmg after the upgrade was high, plus her ability to give a lot of stars, she and her party could both take advantage of it. Even if you want to suck it yourself, her damage won't be amused because she's a Berserker and her stats aren't low. If you meet the special condition, obviously she is getting better, especially when skill 1 and skill 3 are 3 turns. For NP gain, it's quite low, but it can still be helped by crit. Her obvious weakness is the lack of a defensive mechanism, just like most Berserkers, she also needs really strong support so she doesn't die quickly.
