Tawata Kanae’s passive grants her Crimson effect while she uses Munechika. She gains the Scarlet effect while using Enhanced Core Attack. Her Kamaitachi skills become her Ultimate Skill when she gains Crimson, Scarlet, or Fire effects. The hunter also deals an additional 24% damage to the enemies in the Break state.

• Advancement tier 1: When an enemy dies near Tawata, she gains one stack of the Instinct effect. She gains 5 Instinct stacks if she puts her enemy into a Break state. At 10 stats, the Instinct effect becomes the Sixth Sense effect.
• Advancement tier 2: Her critical hit damage increases by 16%.
• Advancement tier 3: When she uses Munechika, she gains the Super Armor effect for 5 seconds. Using Fire: Kamaitachi reduces the cooldown of Munechika by 5 seconds.
• Advancement tier 4: Tawata’s Fire damage buffs by 12% for every Fire-type hunter in the team (can stack up to three times).
• Advancement tier 5: The Instinct and Sixth Sense effects are enhanced.

Explanation of Tawata’s effects:

• Crimson: She automatically uses her Enhanced Core Attack while using the Kamaitachi skill with bonus damage equal to 50% of the skill’s damage dealt. This effect remains active for the entirety of a battle.
• Scarlet: She activates the Fire effect while using the Kamaitachi skill. The effect remains active permanently for the battle.
• Fire: Tsuchigumo's damage increases by 70%, and she gains Super Armor while using Kamaitachi. Crimson, Scarlet, and Fire effects are removed while using Kamaitachi.
• Instinct: Buffs her critical hit rate by 1%. Enhanced Instinct effect buffs the critical hit rate and critical damage by 1.5%.
• Sixth Sense: Increases her critical hit rate by 20%. If she has 20% or less MP, her MP consumption rate decreases by 40%. This effect remains permanently active during the battle. Enhanced Sixth Sense increases her attack by 77% and critical hit rate and critical hit damage by 20%. If she has 30% or less MP, her MP consumption rate decreases by 50%.

Tawata Kanae’s sweet spot for the Advancement is Tier 5. She gets a massive critical hit rate, critical hit damage, and Fire-damage buff, significantly boosting her damage. F2P players can upgrade her to Advancement Tier 3 for the best results.
