Secondary guardian spirit and soul cores suggestions

[devious goon]

Running a corruption based build with baku as primary and konaki-jiji + gozuki + nightmare bringer cores, can't decide what guardian spirit to choose as my secondary and what cores to put on it, I don't find myself needing it much but having one of the other burst counters is important for bosses and more soul cores is always good

yume hami

genbu

ho-oh (any variation)

sohaya

ino sasao

tengen kujaku

kuzunoha the fox

these are all top tier spirits

If you use onmyo magic, Amabie 100%.
It is a phantom guardian spirit with 2 interesting applications:
- Protection: it grants you temporary hit points scaling with your onmyo (and empowers your elixir)
- Paralysis resistance (very useful on high difficulties, imo).

Other than switching to her every time I needed to pop an elixir (or a spectral salve), I used Amabie as a defensive platform. The “best” soul cores here are probably:
- Ongyoki (sometimes you need a breather).
- Bakegani (shotgun like ability to cause wet from reasonable distance, plus improved defenses)

Yeah I do use onmyo magic a lot I'm running 6pc susano + 5pc austerity + 3pc tsukuyomi. Your suggestion is very interesting haven't seen this info before definitely going to try it out

It changed quite a lot my approach to post end game content, that's for sure.
May it serve you well.
