Why Sugumi, Currently the 2nd Pick in the Banner, Is Built to Last

Sugumi is currently the second-highest priority pick in the banner. The core of Sugumi's kit lies in her Skill 2, which significantly boosts both Cursed Tool and Sorcery damage taken by enemies. Since it doesn't discriminate between Cursed Tool and Sorcery, she can be paired with any Cursed Energy attribute dealer and even supports hybrid dealers effectively. Furthermore, by lowering critical resistance, she synergizes well with characters aiming for critical hits or techniques like Black Flash. She's also easy to operate. The basic rotation is to continuously use Skill 2. When your main damage output is lacking, you can use Skill 1 to extend the turn of existing debuffs, conserve your main damage, and then return to Skill 2. This makes it easy to maintain debuffs with less strain on your primary damage dealers, and her core role rarely gets interrupted in actual combat. Another major advantage is that she doesn't favor either Cursed Tool or Sorcery teams exclusively. Even if stronger Cursed Energy attribute dealers are released in the future, she's likely to be used alongside them to make them even stronger, rather than competing with them. While she might not be a jack-of-all-trades like Bingo, her core role as a debuffer is complete from the start, making her a high priority in the current banner.
