Review

Tempest Wind is a Strategist who can give Critical Rate and Critical Damage to allies.

Having unconditional Critical Rate and Critical Damage buffs is very rare and all DPS like those stats. She works best for multi-hit DPS, as they can get the most out of her Critical Damage buff from her Talent 1. Your goal is to get to 5/10 Blossom stacks with your DPS. Blossom stack does not decrease in duration on the action it is gained, for example, if the DPS deals 3 hits of damage on Turn 1, these 3 Blossom stacks will last until after their Turn 4.

Tempest Wind can heal SP, but that's rarely used. Unlike most other supports, Tempest Wind brings no sustain and she is also very demanding in her card build, needing to run 1 specific set and 2 specific main stats, while also having very high stats requirements to cap. This makes her and the teams you run her in more fragile. 

However, since her Talent 1 has no Critical Damage cap, it allows for infinite scaling, rewarding you for having a high-end build. 

Tempest Wind's biggest weakness is her losing out on some buffs if the DPS cannot hit the 5/10 Blossom stacks threshold; outside of that, she is a very versatile Strategist that can be used in most teams.

Character Synergies
  • Frostgale Mont: Frostgale Mont can deal many hits from her Skills, allowing her to access all of Tempest Wind’s buffs.

  • Makoto Yuki: Makoto Yuki can deal many hits from his Skills, allowing her to access all of Tempest Wind’s buffs.

Important Awareness / Weapon Value
  • Awareness 1: This grants Tempest Wind 30% Critical Damage for Assassins and 25% Attack for Sweepers. It is also an attack that can trigger many effects that want you to attack.

  • Awareness 2: For DPS that can cap all 10 Blossom stacks, this is more powerful than her A1 and it’s not limited to just 1 DPS role, however any A2 is quite expensive and generally not recommended.

  • Awareness 6: This is mostly a whale toy; the more A6R6 characters with broken builds you have, the more this Critical Rate overcap to Critical Damage conversion will do. Tempest Wind’s out-of-turn Skill 1 can trigger many effects as it's a Persona skill, and her Skill 3 is now an AoE buff S3, making her work great in teams with 2 DPS.

  • Weapon: Gives Critical DMG as main stats can help with capping her buffs. As she mainly supports via stats buffs and has infinite scaling, any way to give and gain more stats is very powerful.

Pros & Cons
Pros

  • Gives Critical Rate and Critical Damage buffs at A0.
