Suzuka Gozen is a buster saber who focuses on nuking down opponents with huge buster damage and heavy hitting NPs. Her skillset centers around buffing up her buster cards and NP while keeping alive. Her skills are mostly selfish, providing close to no support to the team.
Her base stats are relatively low, with a decent attack stat and a higher than average HP stat. In regards to her generation stats, she has decent NP and stargen which is nothing to write home about. However, this is boosted by her nice riding skill and divinity skill to boost her stargen and damage output somewhat, making it less bad than it sounds.
Suzuka appears in a more than overcrowded class among the sabers, but is definitely a very unique and interesting 4* with an interesting kit and flashy animations that really make her an appealing servant to get.
Pros
Unique skillset which revolves around buster cards
Damage output on her NP is pretty high for an AOE NP
Waifu
Cons
Stats aren’t that amazing
Needs to use own skills to boost damage output
No form of survivability in her kit
Strategies & Tips
Suzuka enjoys being paired with a support class unit who can help with her damage output and overall survivability. She needs crit stars as well to assist with her crit gen or someone who can boost her NP gain. Her first skill should be used before a nice buster chain or before her NP to maximize damage and get crit stars. while her 3rd skill should be used before her NP or to top up her gauge before firing off her NP. It also has the added bonus of being able to hit any pesky enemies with doge skills. Her 2nd skill should be used to stall enemies or drop their attack to protect herself or fellow teammates.
Noble Phantasm
Tenkiame is a AOE buster skill which is extremely flashy and reminiscent of Emiya’s UBW. The NP damage is decent for it’s level while it’s hitcount of 10 gives some nice stargen on top of that.
Merlin is a powerful support to pair with Suzuka, giving her buster damage, health boosts to cover her low bases, NP gen, Star gen, attack boosts and more. He covers all her weak points and makes sure she pushes out nice damage against any enemies.
Nightingale enables Suzuka to push out a whole lot of buster damage without worrying that she’s going to die due to lack of survivability thanks to her powerful healing and buster buffs. This helps her stay on the field longer and hit much harder.
This CE helps attract stars to Suzuka so she can crit on top of a boosted crit damage. This allows her to push out more consistent damage while also being able to gen more stars and NP.
Teacher and I gives Suzuka a 50% charge at the start of the battle so she can fire off her NP as soon as possible while also giving her a higher star weightage to herself. This helps her get off her main source of damage .
Joint recital provides Suzuka with Buster and crit damage that allows her to push out high damage numbers while also allowing her to gen more stars and NP to allow her to NP and crit more in a cycle.
When Equipped to Suzuka Gozen, Increases Party's Buster Performance and NP Damage by 10% while she is on the field.
