Best Miyabi Build Guide

Written by Phạm Ngọc Bảo Châu · Updated 6 Oct 2026

Playstyle Overview

Miyabi is a Frost Anomaly DPS with a very high damage ceiling. Her main damage comes from the level-3 charged Basic Attack: Shimotsuki. Her Core Passive converts CRIT Rate into Frost Anomaly Buildup Rate (up to 80%), so she is built around CRIT like a main DPS.

Her rotation revolves around Fallen Frost: EX Special Attacks and Basic Attacks into Frostbite build stacks, then hold Basic Attack to release Shimotsuki, swapping to teammates in between to trigger Disorders, each granting 2 more Fallen Frost. Always bring a Support or another Section 6 member to unlock her Additional Ability. On the downside, she relies heavily on Disorder and struggles against Ice-resistant enemies.

Best W-Engines

Hailstorm Shrine

ATK 743 · CRIT Rate 24%

Best in slot by a wide margin (around 20% ahead of the next option): the only Anomaly W-Engine offering both CRIT Rate (24%) and CRIT DMG (+50%), plus up to +40% Ice DMG.

Frost-Stained Star ›

CRIT DMG increases by 50%. When using an EX Special Attack or when any squad member applies an Attribute Anomaly to an enemy, the equipper's Ice DMG increases by 20%, stacking up to 2 times and lasting 15s. The duration of each stack is calculated separately.

*Stats shown are at Base level.

Fusion Compiler

ATK 684 · PEN Ratio 24%

A solid alternative: it adds combat ATK and a PEN Ratio secondary stat. It has no CRIT, so you need more CRIT Rate from discs; at S3–S5 it gets fairly close to S1 Hailstorm Shrine.

Data Flood ›

Increases ATK by 12%.

When using a Special Attack or EX Special Attack, the equipper’s Anomaly Proficiency is increased by 25 for 8s, stacking up to 3 times.

The duration of each stack is calculated separately.

*Stats shown are at Base level.

Electro-Lip Gloss

ATK 594 · Anomaly Proficiency 75

Strong when enemies are already afflicted by an Anomaly before Miyabi attacks, so it suits teams that apply Anomalies constantly; weaker when that condition can't be maintained.

Kiss of Death ›

When there are enemies inflicted with Attribute Anomaly on the field, the equipper's ATK increases by 10% and they deal an additional 15% more DMG to the target.

*Stats are shown at base level

Rainforest Gourmet

ATK 594 · Anomaly Proficiency 75

A free-to-play pick: flat Anomaly Proficiency plus stacking ATK whenever Energy is spent, which fits Miyabi's frequent EX Special Attacks.

Dinner's Ready! ›

For every 10 Energy consumed, the equipper gains a buff that increases ATK by 2.5% for 10s, stacking up to 10 times. The duration of each stack is calculated separately.

*Stats shown are at Base level.

Weeping Gemini

ATK 594 · ATK% 25%

Craftable and the easiest to obtain: ATK% and a lot of Anomaly Proficiency. The high Proficiency shifts her damage toward Shatter and Frost Disorder, so focus on triggering as many Disorders as possible.

Lingering Cries ›

Whenever a squad member inflicts an Attribute Anomaly on an enemy, the equipper gains a buff that increases Anomaly Proficiency by 30, stacking up to 4 times. This effect expires when the target recovers from Stun or is defeated. The duration of each stack is calculated separately.

CRIT DMG +16%

4-piece:

When Anomaly Mastery exceeds or equals 115 points, the equipper's CRIT DMG increases by 30%. When any squad member applies Freeze or triggers the Shatter effect on an enemy, the equipper's CRIT Rate increases by 12%, lasting 15s.

Polar Metal

2-pc ›

2-piece:

Ice DMG +10%

Branch & Blade Song is made for Miyabi: permanent CRIT DMG and +12% CRIT Rate when the team triggers Freeze or Shatter. Pair it with 2-piece Polar Metal (+10% Ice DMG) once your CRIT Rate is covered.

2-piece:

Use 2-piece Woodpecker Electro (+8% CRIT Rate) if you haven't reached your CRIT Rate target, which is common with W-Engines that lack CRIT stats.

2-piece:

PEN Ratio +8%

PEN build for M0 Miyabi: a PEN Ratio Disc 5 plus 2-piece Puffer Electro. At M1+ or with DEF shred from teammates (Nicole, Trigger), switch to an ATK% Disc 5 and 2-piece Hormone Punk.

Woodpecker Electro

CRIT Rate +8%

4-piece:

Landing a critical hit on an enemy with a Basic Attack, Dodge Counter, or EX Special Attack increases the equipper's ATK by 9% for 6s. The buff duration for different skills are calculated separately.

Polar Metal

2-pc ›

2-piece:

Ice DMG +10%

A generic fallback while your Branch & Blade Song pieces are weak: extra CRIT Rate and ATK on critical hits, though the 4-piece stacks are hard to keep up fully.

Best Main Stats

Disc 4CRIT Rate (ATK% if your CRIT Rate is covered)
Disc 5PEN Ratio / ATK% / Ice DMG
Disc 6ATK% (Anomaly Mastery against enemies without an Ice weakness)

Endgame Stats

ATK: 2500 – 3600+ (depending on disc main stats)
CRIT Rate: 75 – 95%
CRIT DMG: 150 – 190%
Anomaly Mastery: 116+
Anomaly Proficiency: 240+
HP: 10000+
DEF: 800+

Aim for 80% CRIT Rate in combat to get the full Anomaly Buildup bonus from her Core Passive (about 68% on the stat screen with 4-piece Branch & Blade Song). Around 120% CRIT DMG is enough since her W-Engine and set already supply plenty; put the rest into ATK, which boosts both her skill damage and her Disorder damage.

Skill Priority

Core Skill
›Basic Attack
›Chain Attack
›Special Attack
›Assist
›Dodge

Max her Core Skill first since it drives Frostburn damage. Basic Attack (Shimotsuki) is her main damage source, followed by Chain Attack/Ultimate. Her Special Attack is used constantly, so it also deserves high levels; Dodge and Assist come last.

Best Teams for Miyabi

Most Used Teams Right Now

Miyabi

Nangong Yu

Yuzuha

Miyabi's most used team in both Shiyu Defense and Deadly Assault. Nangong Yu Stuns while triggering extra Abloom and Disorder, and Yuzuha boosts ATK and Anomaly damage.

Remielle Dan

Miyabi

Velina Airgid

The highest average score among Miyabi's Shiyu Defense teams: two Anomaly partners of other attributes (Lumiflux and Wind) keep Disorders coming.

Disorder Teams

Yanagi acts as Miyabi's battery: the Polarity Disorders from her EX Special Attack and Ultimate keep feeding Fallen Frost. Yuzuha buffs ATK and Anomaly damage for both.

Miyabi

Vivian

Yuzuha

Vivian applies Anomaly very effectively even off-field, creating frequent Disorders while dealing heavy damage herself.

Ice & Stun Teams

Miyabi

Soukaku

Lycaon

The classic mono-Ice team: Lycaon lowers Ice RES and raises the Stun DMG multiplier, while Soukaku buffs Ice DMG and ATK and builds Ice Anomaly fast to extend Stun windows. Very strong but demanding to play.

A general DPS setup with one Stun and one Support: Lighter lowers Ice RES and raises Ice DMG, while Lucy keeps a long-lasting ATK buff up.

F2P Team

Soukaku is the most accessible partner, boosting the team's Ice DMG and ATK, while Anby provides Stun. Nicole can replace Anby for DEF shred.

Best Bangboo for Miyabi

Pick your Bangboo to match the team: Agent Gulliver alongside Yanagi (two Section 6 members), with Knightboo or Brawlerboo as alternatives. In a team with Lighter and Lucy (Sons of Calydon), use Red Moccus, or Cryboo, Rocketboo or Magnetiboo instead.

In the F2P team, Penguinboo is the main pick; Sumoboo and Avocaboo also work.

Core Passive: Searing Cold

When Hoshimi Miyabi deals Frost DMG, she applies Icefire to the target, lasting 30s. When accumulating Frost Anomaly Buildup against targets with Icefire, increases Frost Anomaly Buildup Rate by 100% of Hoshimi Miyabi's CRIT Rate, up to a maximum increase of 80%. As Hoshimi Miyabi accumulates Frost Anomaly Buildup, it has its own independent Attribute Anomaly Buildup gauge and triggers Freeze, Shatter, and Frostbite that can react with other Attribute Anomalies, including Ice Attribute Anomaly, to trigger Disorder.

When Hoshimi Miyabi applies Frostbite to enemies with Icefire, it will consume the Icefire to trigger Frostburn - Break, dealing Frost DMG equal to 750% of Hoshimi Miyabi's ATK and causing the target to enter the Frostburn state. All squad members accumulate 14% more Anomaly Buildup against enemies under the Frostburn state, but Hoshimi Miyabi cannot reapply Icefire to these enemies. The Frostburn state ends when Frostbite expires.

While this state remains active, triggering another Attribute Anomaly will overwrite Frostbite and remove Frostburn. Upon triggering Frostburn - Break, Hoshimi Miyabi obtains 1 point of Fallen Frost. This effect can trigger once every 10s.

Additional Ability: Bask in Frost

When another character in your squad is a Support character or shares the same Faction:

Basic Attack: Shimotsuki DMG increases by 60%. When any squad member triggers Disorder, Hoshimi Miyabi obtains 2 points of Fallen Frost and Basic Attack: Shimotsuki during the next Shimotsuki Stance will ignore 30% of the target's Ice RES.

Mindscape Cinema

Which Mindscapes Are Worth It?

M2 is the best stopping point if you invest further in Miyabi. M1 is also very strong, and M6 is a massive damage boost to Shimotsuki. M3 and M5 only add skill levels and are not counted.

M1
Shimotsuki ignores up to 36% DEF and the squad gains 20% Anomaly Buildup Rate, making non-weak enemies easier and raising the value of DEF-shred teammates like Nicole and Trigger.
M2
+15% CRIT Rate, +30% Kazahana and Dodge Counter DMG, and a way to gain Fallen Frost outside of Disorder. It doesn't change the rotation but covers you if you miss a Disorder.
M4
A sizeable boost to Frostburn - Break damage plus extra Decibels, potentially enabling one more Ultimate per rotation.
M6
Shimotsuki automatically releases its level-1 and level-2 slashes while charging level 3, greatly increasing total damage multipliers.

Frost Atop the SnowRecommended

While in Shimotsuki Stance, every 1 point of Fallen Frost consumed will allow Basic Attack: Shimotsuki to ignore 6% of DEF, stacking up to 6 times and lasting until Shimotsuki Stance ends.

When the slash for charge level three of Basic Attack: Shimotsuki hits an enemy under Frostburn, it will immediately remove the Frostburn state and increase all squad members' Anomaly Buildup Rate by 20% for 10s.

Miyabi has loved reciting poems about the cold since she was a child.

She might not understand them completely, but she still does it every day.

Before long, she came to realize their true meaning. She found clarity not on a still and snowy night, but rather upon the battlefield.

Breath TechniqueRecommended

Basic Attack: Kazahana and Dodge Counter DMG increases by 30%. Hoshimi Miyabi gains 1 point of Fallen Frost when the final move of the 5th hit of Basic Attack: Kazahana hits an enemy.

Upon entering the battlefield, Hoshimi Miyabi immediately obtains 6 points of Fallen Frost and her CRIT Rate increases by 15%.

"As goes the sword, so goes the heart."

This is a key disciplinary concept of the Hoshimi school of swordsmanship.

Defeating the enemy is but the first step on the path to victory.

Maintaining constant vigilance at all times is the true way of a warrior.

Martial Discipline

Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2.

Miyabi, whose family has a tradition of martial arts, has excellent training habits.

Her commitment to swordsmanship practice is unwavering. What? A meeting? She won't be going.

RuptureRecommended

Frostburn - Break DMG increases by 30%. Upon triggering Frostburn - Break, Hoshimi Miyabi generates 250 more Decibels.

Reciting poems during the heat of battle can regulate one's respiratory rhythm.

Whether it's her mindset or breathing, Miyabi always keeps calm.

Anniversary

Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2.

The girl arrives at that all too familiar place with flowers, her breath misting and then vanishing into the cold air.

Her fingers ghost over that name on the monument.

Everything is quiet, like that most silence observer.

Prodigious TalentRecommended

During Shimotsuki Stance, Hoshimi Miyabi obtains Polar, which increases Basic Attack: Shimotsuki DMG by 30%. After obtaining Polar, Hoshimi Miyabi will automatically draw her blade and unleash powerful slashes based on the current charge level upon consuming Fallen Frost. Before Fallen Frost is completely depleted, the draw and slashes will not interrupt charging under Shimotsuki Stance.

Each occurrence of Shimotsuki Stance can perform up to 3 draws and slashes.

The more she battles, the more it becomes evident to outsiders:

If there is a god of swordsmanship, it must greatly favor Hoshimi Miyabi.

Story

Agent Profile: Miyabi

Hoshimi Miyabi, the Chief of Hollow Special Operations Section 6.

Miyabi goes on a lot of field missions and still doesn't know which floor the regular monthly meeting is on.

Even if you see Miyabi in the office, it's unlikely she's dealing with paperwork, and more likely polishing her sword.

Being conferred the title of Void Hunter due to her outstanding contributions, she's an elite amongst elites in Section 6.

She has great prestige amongst the citizens.

Once, Miyabi accidentally wandered into a "Miyabi Fan Club" hosted offline event.

Miyabi was thought to be a fan with godlike impersonation skills, and that event resulted in a precious visual recording.

Hoshimi Miyabi is honest and pragmatic. She is not simply a martial artist obsessed with her art and without care for the world around her.

Anyone who knows her will realize she's always pursued justice in her heart... even if it may eventually cause a revolution.

Hoshimi Miyabi is the heir to a famed martial arts family in New Eridu.

According to an insider, Miyabi's mother died when she was young and Miyabi's relationship with her father is rather odd.

Note: Miyabi's father has not taken any civil or administrative positions within New Eridu.

Cooperation Notes:

Belle

Fairy! Find that "precious visual recording"! My brother wants to see it!

Wise

There's no need to trouble yourself, Fairy. If Belle wants to see it, she'll ask Miss Miyabi herself...

Void Hunter: Isshin Muga

In the old capital under the gaze of the moon, seven travelers of the World's Void once made a decision: to allow the king of the mortal realm to bestow honors upon them.

To this day, most of the new capital's seven badges lie forgotten, gathering dust, a fact known to few, while the joyous city remains confident in her impenetrable protection.

The Ethereal-hunting foxfire has been tamed by the martial artist, and young fox ears flicker frequently on fluorescent screens, filling people with boundless confidence.

Yet those seated atop the pinnacle of the new capital are restless, each harboring their own fears.
