Arashi the Riptide Overview

Arashi the Riptide is a Shadowkin HP-based damage dealer who thrives in multi-kill scenarios, scaling his durability and damage through kills while using Perfect Veil and defence-bypassing attacks to punish Arena, Siege, and wave-based content.

Rising from the shadows of the Shadowkin empire, this Nautical Assassin rules the seas surrounding the Kingdom of Yakai. Moving unseen, he strikes down intruders with concealed blades, channelling the sacred power of the ocean into their souls. Arashi the Riptide is an HP based Legendary champion from the Shadowkin faction.

Arashi is a specialist damage dealer for content where multiple enemies can be killed, such as Arena, Siege and The Cursed City, though he’s a strong option for various areas of the game. His strength lies in his A3, which increases his HP by 5% [up to 30%] each time he kills a target, boosting both his survivability and damage output. This skill also grants him Perfect Veil and a 30% Increase Crit Damage buff before launching an AOE attack that hits each target individually, ignoring 15% defence and an additional 5% for each subsequent target. This makes him highly effective against enemies with passives that reduce AOE damage, such as Duchess Lilitu or the Hydra.

His A2 is a single target attack that ignores Shield and Strengthen buffs, and even bypasses Stone Skin if Arashi is under Perfect Veil. Since he starts each round with Perfect Veil through his passive, this allows you to open with his A2 in Arena to take down a Stone Skin target without relying on the A3 first. If he kills the target, his buff extension keeps the Perfect Veil active for longer. Additionally, his passive gives him a chance to reflect all damage and debuffs back to the attacker. If the reflection kills the target, it boosts his Turn Meter and re-applies Perfect Veil, making him a dangerous counter for anyone brave enough to attack him!
