[edit] Equippable Items

[edit] Martial Artist Items

  • Caltrops: Some people will switch to avoid Eviscerate, so it's better than nothing.
  • Flash Powder: Makes Rumiko even more safe to switch, but at the cost of the options Scroll gives. Only gives Rumiko a net 70% chance to avoid intercept damage, which isn't much improvement.
  • Origami Crane: Rumiko has high enough hit rates that Crane isn't worth using in most cases.
  • Scroll of Inner Focus: Practically a mandatory item for Rumiko. The options it grants such as Eviscerating twice in a row are essential.
  • Jade Figurine: With Rumiko's low defense and health, this can help her survivability a bit, but not nearly as much as the energy from Scroll.

[edit] General Items

  • General's Insignia: Strengthens Eviscerate and Ninja Port considerably. Might be worth using if you don't have a Scroll.
  • Healing Salve: Rumiko can get a lot of free turns in battle via stuns, but the chances of getting repeated stuns are low. Even Figurine is a better choice in most cases.
  • Stoneheel Totem: Ninja-Port already gives Rumiko an energy advantage on range changes. Not awful, but not good either.
  • Yellow Rock of Cowards: Since Rumiko can switch so freely, and repeated switches with the Rock could be an interesting way to deal chip damage. Might be worth using if you don't have a Scroll.
  • Mindreader's Chalice: Rumiko has many good matchups that opponents will want to switch out of, but she's less threatening without a Scroll.

[edit] Strategy

[edit] Strengths

  • Shuriken Barrage is a fast, powerful attack. Only a few characters take minimal damage.
  • Eviscerate is fast and will stun most of the time.
  • Ninja-Port enables you to go far at a smaller cost. However, as it is speed 4, Rumiko will most likely take damage before moving far.
  • Her innate ability can allow her to switch out even if the enemy intercepts.
  • Overall, Rumiko is one of the most versatile characters in the game.

[edit] Weaknesses

  • Her low health bar and very small resistances make her an easy target.
  • Against characters with large physical resistance, Poison Dart becomes the main damage dealer.
