Performing Shigure

AIDSlord Shigure
Shigure is a dancer unit, which is already AIDS enough. But I thought to myself, “how can I make this character even MORE stressful to fight in arena?” After spending way too much time testing, these are my results. Please note that this build is tailored VERY specific to my team, and results may vary.

Weapon: Blarserpent+ (spd)
Shigure, being the handsome young man he is, is often targeted by archers and mages. Because he is a support/trashcan, he's never really made it within melee range. (because I've won so quickly) Blarserpent will add 6 def/res to his already monstrous def/res stats when he is attacked at range, making arrows and magic deflect off his steelcore abs.

Support: Sing
It's AIDS.

A Skill: Brazen Def/Res
My Shigure has both a def and res of 24, meaning that he is damn-near unkillable by conventional means. On the off-chance that an attack is able to penetrate his insurmountable defensive stats and lower him to <80% hp, Brazen Def/Res will add 7 to both stats, essentially equipping him with Power Armor.

B Skill: Geyser Dance
This is heavy preference based, as I run him on a team of strikers that do not share the same invincibility traits as him. Geyser Dance will allow Shigure to buff the Ally he sings to, giving them a Terraria Ironskin Potion by boosting their Def/Res my a massive 4.

C Skill: Infantry Rush
Shigure is a man of action and refuses to sit idle. Infantry Rush will help him rally the other naked cowboys on the team and boosting the rate at which they get their Super by adding Heavy Blade to them. The game says that it doesn't stack, but the game also says that Shigure hides his identity, which simply isn't true.

Seal: Panic Ploy
I thought the most annoying seal I could put on him would be something to further buff him and his goons, but I found that Panic Ploy was the best way to go. Any buffs that the enemy received from their turn will now be penalties, turning them into nothing more than the gum on the bottom of Shigure's tap dancing shoes.

Super: Miracle
In the inconceivable event that the enemy is able to take down the 33 hp raid boss that is Shigure, the realization that he will survive with one health will cause enough mental anguish for them to surrender.

One of my new blues is PA Shigure. Got him on a legendary banner. I think it was the one with Legendary Lyn. He’s +spd, -atk, but I won’t mind since Shigure is meant to be mostly a supporting unit anyway. Here’s my build for him.
For his weapon I prefer his default Dancer’s Score. It basically has a breath of life effect. Heal up to 7 hp if he starts combat and if a ally is adjacent to him. It does stack up with C skill and seal version of breath of life. If he has triple breath of life then he heals up 21 hp. But i’m not running it, as 14 hp is plenty. For refinement i’m thinking of res refine for better dueling mages.
For the assist skill obviously keep sing. It’s Shigure’s selling point. It’s what makes him useful.
For the special i’m thinking of moonbow for in a case where shigure needs a bit of more damage.
For the A skill i went for triangle adept so that he can better deal with red units. It does cost him however that he becomes more vulnerable to greens. Though it’s all good as long as he stays away from greens.
For the B skill I went for wings of mercy. It’s a refresher’s favorite B skill due to its cool effect of warping close to a weakened ally.
For the C skill I went for hone atk since he is a supporting unit, and he needs a supporting C skill.
Overall Shigure is like all of his refreshing peers. He brings good utility with dance. My only main issue is that his bst is low which can make scoring in arena tricky. Especially if you’re in high tiers. However I think there are some modes where Shigure can be useful.

Singing Shigure is one of my best Tome users. The fact that he's a dancer/singer who can buff Def and Res should be enough, but the fact that he can dish some great damage is a sight to behold. I put L&D on him because both his defensive stats are relatively worthless with how low they are, so it helps his semi-low speed and relatively good attack. If I don't need him to give an ally another turn, I can let him do some good damage to an enemy, maybe even take them out. All while giving damaged allies a whopping 21 health boost with double Breath of Life.
Shigure was the first dancer I got, and I'll keep using him to the fullest because he is (imo) one of the best dancers in the game. Having a good tome color, good attack, sing, and overall great support.

Finally got my boi May 1st after wanting him since he came out in 2017 &amp;lt;3

Extra Skills:

B: Geyser Dance 2 / Watersweep 3
C: Blue tome Valor 3

The introduction of Bridal Ninian has given Performing Shigure competition, as being a flier gives more a much needed than movement than infantry, despite having similar stats. Despite that, Shigure retains a viable niche as a Blue Singer that can refresh allies. The set above allows Shigure to be both a Red Check and a Bow Check, something Bridal Ninian cannot do; while also allowing him to be an effective " healer ". Sing is an amazing skill that grants an ally another turn, which is the main reason is viable at all. Dancer's Score+ ( +Def ) is preferred over Res to handle bow units better. Triangle Adept 3 gives greatly increases his damage output against Red units while reducing their damage output against him, which makes up for his mediocre defenses. Bowbreaker 3 is the crux of this set, allowing him to shut down bow users such as Brave Lyn very easily, which is the main reason Shigure stands out compared to Bridal Ninian. As for the C and S skills, Breath of Life 3 gives Shigure tremendous healing support, as both skills stack with his tome, effectively restoring 21 HP whenever he start to attack on player phase. The immense healing really enemy phase units such as Hector or Legendary Robin (F) more staying power. However one , if one finds 21 HP too excessive, the S slot can be replaced by something else, such as Distant Def 3 or Savage Blow. Distant Def 3 provides a Def against Distant weapon users such Tomes and Bows giving Shigure bulk during enemy phase. Savage Blow 3 chips away at adjacent enemies once Shigure props an Attack, making up for his mediocre offensive pressure.
