For Masters who lack the top-level support alternatives, however, Osakabehime has the potential to prove quite valuable especially against Rider enemies. In her ideal cases, she brings considerable support value alongside some useful utility, but overall she finds herself largely overshadowed by her competition. Given that much of Osakabehime’s support value is locked behind her NP, this is a critical weakness.Īs a consequence of this, Osakabehime is much harder to fit into standard teams than are the likes of Zhuge Liang, Merlin, and Skadi. Charging Osakabehime’s NP gauge therefore necessitates prioritizing her Command Cards, which comes at a cost to the Servants she is supposed to be supporting. While her NP gain is good overall, Osakabehime needs Arts-first bonuses and Arts chains in order to reliably fill her NP gauge. Yet even those upgrades will not solve her major issues as Osakabehime often finds it hard to displace more prominent and specialized Supports. Additionally, Morph is later upgraded through an Interlude to Four God Divination (Hakuro), which grants a powerful team-wide Critical Damage buff for 3 turns, finally granting Osakabehime the on-demand support she lacked before. Her first upgrade adds an equivalent Buster Performance buff to her NP, bringing Buster-based Servants into her support range. While mainly relegated as a support to Quick-centric team on release, Osakebehime’s Interlude and Rank Up quest greatly expand the scope of her offensive arsenal. Defensively, Osakabehime rounds out her kit with Morph ’s massive Defense buffs, which if stacked with her own NP or other defensive can even allow her to survive enemy NPs. Chiyogami Manipulation brings an ever useful targetable minor NP Charge, while Castle Ghost packs a heavy one-turn Defense debuff with additional on-demand Debuff removal utility.

Skill-wise, Osakabehime brings mainly short-lived but generally useful support buffs.

In addition, thanks to her good NP Generation rate and her Quick buff, an actively used Osakabehime can reliably keep her NP up, if not stack it. Osakabehime’s defining feature is her Noble Phantasm The Great Hachitendou of Hakurou Castle, which grants party-wide Quick Performance, Max HP and Defense buffs for 3 turns. The de facto ruler of Himeji Castle and a famed youkai, this shut-in princess is a shadowy hybrid between a (Quick-based) Support and a survivalist with impressive durability. “Hime-chan power upp ! Fufufu, It is not an exaggeration to say that I am the perfect princess.”
