Tsukuyo (Dress) Strength Evaluation

Michiru (Dress) Skill Analysis

Skill TypeEffect Description
EX Skill (2 Cost)Recovers HP for a single designated ally (High-efficiency single-target heal).
Normal SkillTriggers at battle start: Increases Attack for all allies except herself and reduces EX Skill cost by 1 for one use. (Triggers once per battle)
Passive SkillIncreases Healing Power.
Sub SkillIncreases Cost Recovery (Faster EX Skill charging).

Michiru (Dress) Strength Evaluation

The biggest highlight of Michiru (Dress) is her Normal Skill (NS) opening team buff: it automatically boosts the entire team’s Attack at the start of battle and reduces the cost of one EX skill, allowing the team to launch powerful skills earlier in the first rotation. This “Opening Cost Reduction” effect is extremely rare in Blue Archive and is substantially helpful for high-difficulty content like Total Assault and Joint Exercises.

Her EX skill costs only 2 to heal a single target, making it very cost-efficient. Her Sub Skill accelerates her own charging, making the overall output cycle smoother. Overall, Michiru (Dress) is a highly versatile Support Healer in the current meta, with community evaluations suggesting she may surpass her original version in specific environments.

Should You Pull? Pyroxene Planning Advice

Tsukuyo (Dress) — Consider only if you lack Tanks

Tsukuyo (Dress) is a specialized Cover Tank. She excels in stages where cover mechanics are effective (especially Outdoor/Urban), but her effectiveness drops in indoor battles or stages where cover cannot be utilized. If you already have a stable Tank lineup and don’t specifically need a Cover Tank, you can consider skipping. However, as a limited character, she won’t return until a rerun.

Michiru (Dress) — Strong Support, Recommended

Michiru (Dress)’s opening cost reduction applies to almost all combat scenarios, making her one of the few characters who can accelerate the first round of EX skills. Whether for Total Assault bosses or Joint Exercises requiring high costs, launching skills earlier makes a real difference. If you have room for a backline support or need more healing, Michiru (Dress) is the priority target for this event.
