Introduction to Onmyoji Karuta Characters: How is Onmyoji Karuta?

If you've been following the updates of Onmyoji, you must have noticed that the Super Ghost King event on February 26th will introduce a brand new SSR shikigami - Karuta. Today, I'll bring you a prediction and introduction to Onmyoji's Karuta. This mysterious character, with a strong Japanese style, seems to have walked out of the traditional Japanese card game "Hanafuda," exuding an elegant aura. What makes this new shikigami so special? Let's find out.

In Onmyoji, almost every new shikigami has unique gameplay, and Karuta is no exception. This new SSR shikigami breaks the limitations of traditional attack methods, bringing a different combat rhythm with her unique stacking mechanism and indirect damage.

First, we predict that both Karuta's basic attack and ultimate can stack a red debuff. This debuff may seem simple but actually hides great potential for damage. Through her basic attack, she can stack one layer of the red debuff on the enemy, while her ultimate can stack three layers on the main target and up to one layer on multiple enemies. This design means she can not only deal single-target damage but also apply continuous pressure to multiple enemies.

The stacking effect of the red debuff is very unique. Whenever the number of debuff layers reaches six, her attacks will trigger an indirect damage, which will immediately explode. This means that Karuta can not only stack debuffs in a short time but also cause explosive damage with each attack, continuously putting pressure on the enemy. The best part is that the process of triggering indirect damage does not clear the debuff layers. In other words, once Karuta stacks up to six layers, she can almost output indirect damage every turn.

Speaking of Karuta's combat potential, we cannot ignore her possibilities in the Super Ghost King event. With the update of the Super Ghost King on February 26th, Karuta will be the most anticipated "new recruit." Considering her skill mechanism, stacking and indirect damage are highly compatible with the current Super Ghost King's rhythm. In other words, Karuta can not only shine in PVE battles but also hold her own in the high-difficulty challenges of the Super Ghost King.

The update of the Super Ghost King usually brings more varied and challenging content, which is exactly where Karuta excels—through stacking debuffs and explosive indirect damage, she can provide stable output under sustained enemy pressure, potentially becoming a key role in future Super Ghost King battles.

So, what is Karuta's positioning? From her skill mechanism, it's clear that she is a shikigami suited for long-term output. Her indirect damage does not rely on instant bursts but instead strikes the enemy through stacking and continuous accumulation. Therefore, she is better paired with shikigami that can enhance survival or control enemies, ensuring she can last longer and sustain her output.

This concludes the prediction and introduction to Onmyoji's Karuta. Karuta is a very promising SSR shikigami. Her skill mechanism is novel and unique, offering a completely different combat experience from previous shikigami. She can not only shine in high-difficulty events like the Super Ghost King but also gradually show her power in daily PVE. If you're looking forward to the arrival of this new shikigami, why not prepare your resources early and welcome her after the update on February 26th.
