Shibami guide: skills, build and team roles
Overview
Shibami is a Rare Dark Ranged Attacker from the Cambion Faction in Invokers: Titan Legacy. She damages groups with Burn and delays enemy Skills. Ghostburn Shell casts Burn on up to eight enemies, her Ultimate, Spirit Spite, casts Burn and ticks it at once, and Spiritshock increases the cooldown of an enemy Skill.
Burn ticks for a share of the target's MAX HP, capped by her ATK, and it also damages the target's allies within 6m for half. Fully Awakened and before Gear, Shibami has 938 ATK, 502 DEF and 5,273 HP, with 23 Accuracy, 37 Mana Gen and 6 Skill SPD. Her HP and DEF are very low, so she needs a Tank in front of her. Her low Accuracy means her debuffs are resisted unless you build it.
Only eight Invokers cast Cooldown Increase. If you are building a team that wants to slow down enemy Skills, she is a good candidate.
Her damage comes from Burn, so a team that clumps enemies together gets the most from her. She has no healing, Shields or Taunt.
Skills To Prioritize
Ghostbolt is a ten-second filler hit.
Ghostburn Shell selects an enemy up to 14m away and hits eight enemies in a 4m radius, casting Burn. The Burn is 1% of MAX HP per tick for 4 seconds at Level 1, 1.4% at Level 7, 1.5% for 5 seconds at Level 9 and 6 seconds at Level 10, with a cap of 150% ATK per tick at Level 1, 250% at Level 10 and 300% at Max Level. The cooldown falls from 29 seconds to 25 at Level 10 and 23 at Max Level. It needs Accuracy.
Spiritshock hits one enemy and increases the cooldown of a random Active Skill on it by 4 seconds at Level 1, 6 seconds at Level 10 and 7 seconds at Max Level. The cooldown falls from 28 seconds to 23 at Level 10 and 21 at Max Level. It needs Accuracy.
Spirit Spite hits one enemy three times. The first hit casts Burn: 1% for 4 seconds at Level 1, 1.75% for 7 seconds at Level 10 and 8 seconds at Max Level. It instantly ticks one Burn after the second and third hits, and two Burns at Max Level. Its Mana cost falls from 1,100 to 1,050 at Level 8 and 1,000 at Max Level.
If you want Shibami to put Burn on groups, upgrade Ghostburn Shell first, as Level 10 holds the Burn for 6 seconds and Max Level raises its cap to 300% ATK. If you want her to slow enemy Skills, upgrade Spiritshock first, as Max Level delays a Skill by 7 seconds. If you want her to burst down one target, upgrade Spirit Spite first, as Max Level ticks two Burns at once.
Build And Team Support
Her damage comes from Burn, so build ATK and Accuracy to the maximum, and do not build Crit Rate or Crit DMG. Her Skills all need Accuracy to land, so put Accuracy on your Chestplate and your Flask, and add more after that. Mana Gen on your Talisman helps her reach Spirit Spite, and Skill RECOV brings back Ghostburn Shell, which puts Burn on the most enemies.
For Relic Sets, Attack Relics raise the ATK her Burn cap scales from, and Accuracy Relics help Burn and Spiritshock land. Spark Relics add Skill SPD, which makes her Burn tick faster, and Fury Relics bring back Ghostburn Shell sooner. Mana Relics help her reach Spirit Spite.
Pair her with a Tank and a healer, and with teammates who extend debuff durations.
Arena, Bosses And Spires
In Arena, Spiritshock delays a random enemy Active Skill by 6 seconds at Level 10, and Ghostburn Shell casts Burn on up to eight enemies. Be wary of enemy Invokers with Immunity or Skills that cleanse debuffs, as they can wipe out her Burn and Spiritshock.
Against Koltmos, Ranged Attackers are the key, and Shibami is one. Her Burn also damages allies near its target, which helps against the Doomclaws. Be wary of Hyxxis, as each Burn cast on her shortens Ensacment's cooldown by 1 second, and of Fire Omnissi, who is immune to Burn. Sakiel takes 50% less damage from Burn, and Pentiax asks you to avoid Burn.
Against Sedula, who takes 70% less damage from Burn, her Burn is only a bonus. Ghostburn Shell and Spirit Spite do the work, and Ghostburn Shell hits eight enemies in a 4m radius, which helps clear her Tentacles. Sedula changes Element every day, and Shibami has Elemental Advantage on the days she is Light.
In the Dark Spire, Shibami hits groups from behind the front line. Pair her with Invokers of a similar Rarity: Darkseer Lumisa, a Rare Dark Support, heals, revives and extends debuff durations, Gondo the Watchman, an Epic Dark Tank, casts Taunt and a Shield, and Zhine the Spark, an Epic Dark Support, casts a Shield and DEF Down.
Awaken
Awakening boosts an Invoker's stats significantly. Bonuses from Relics, Accessories, the Trophy Room, Tactics and Titan leader bonuses apply to base stats and Awakening stats alike, so unlocking the Awakening nodes is critical to maximise Shibami's potential.
Unlocking each Titan node at Star 2, 4 and 6 adds a second to Titan Invokation, taking the total from 12 seconds to 15.
