How to play Hinagiku Akiba properly?

[PewPew]

So I got her + dupe. And her tension card.

But idk how to properly play her as far as build goes. Right now I just equipped her with strategy attack set. Even though with passive skill expansion 1, her primary attack doesn't seem very strong? Whereas with her strategy I can see it hit as high as 80k. and is fairly easy to build.

Anyone else mind sharing their builds for her?

I've had the same experience as you so far. Primary seems more like it's for easy parrying and scaling with her unique tension cards. Spamming secondary so you can use strategy seems to get the most damage so far.

Right? Like her parry is like the cheesiest thing ever, but I'm a tsuruko main before this so having insane frames for evasion is not something new to me.

But spamming e and then q is the way to go.

I will say that I think after you're able to get Hina to EX+ primary is looking better, both of her passives start to stack up pretty crazy bonuses for using it. She definitely seems like all of her moves have a use.

I see, that won't happen for a long time so hopefully it does become better. And ye I saw the damage multipliers.

After playing with Hina for a while i think her main focus is centered around her unique deflection ability that can wreck havoc against most enemies due it hits multiple times and as long as the attack is physics based while her normal attack is simply not meant to be the main dmg source.

It also feels like enemies can be broken insanely quick with Hina and her deflection attack next to her Strategy skill that can nearly break every enemy with just 1 use.

As TC set i currently use the Controll Cards "Retake" and "Maximization" where Maximization triggers when a counter attack was successfull (Hinas Deflection attack counts as well) gives the enemy the "Controll" debuff (+15% crit% when attacking the enemy) and Retake increases the Counterattack dmg multiplier.

Next to those 2 i use the Unity set (Full Party + Strike Zone) with "New Hope" as it´s easily to prepare with Hinas Secondary skill to fully charge her Strategy skill and then use her Strategy skill as Full hope increases the Strategy Skill dmg after a Secondary attack was executed.

I currently now try to combine this with the Patimon ability "Of Sword and Spear+" x3 and Crit% + Crit Dmg. "Of Sword and Spear+" increases the dmg multiplier for Primary; Secondary and Strategy skill by 60% (non + version gives 50%) for 30 seconds when a counterattack was successfully (and yes Hinas Deflect counts here as well).

So with 3x this makes a multiplier of freaking 180% and if you then launch her Strategy skill and the crit progs as well i already have seen her dish out 100k+ with her Strategy skill alone.

I should mention that this is still very basic Hina T0 with her Passive 1 just at 1 point and the rest 0 points.

I currently have a lot of fun with Hina as deflecting dmg is so much easier to use in compare to the "soulslike dodge version" for the other chars imo.

I'll probably just slap her together with Kazuki and Miu/Enoki to finally utilize Bombard properly. Don't really care about her otherwise that much, tho countering these one shot movies from bosses is neat bonus for having her.
