Strategy/Usage

Himeyuri has access to a top "Research" effect UP Combo Kimono Champs, which is one of only two Research Up L combos in the game. She is also extremely useful against Floating and Angel enemies due to the fact that she has a a near-guaranteed chance to slow them for a long time. She excels at keeping Teacher Bun Bun, and other Floating Enemies ranging below 400 at bay, however as with the rest of the set, beware her multihit. This is because her multihit may sometimes interrupt high-KB enemies and fail to proc and CC them, with relevant examples including Angelic Gory and Li'l Bun Bun; between this and a lack of a Curse immunity or Relic target for Uncanny Legends, her usage becomes limited later on. However, her main Angel niche is replaced by Sanzo Cat as he has an identical set of abilities and is stackable. This limits Himeyuri's usage to a few things:

• Kimono Champs in 4♛ stages,
• As a failsafe, in case Sanzo doesn't proc,
• As a DPS unit, as she has very good damage even for an Uber,
• And as an Uber CC unit if Sanzo is outranged in the cases of Winged Pigge & Angelic Sleipnir and their own relevant stages. Overall, her usage is not to be denied as situationally useful albeit replaced after unlocking the Talented powercreep.

Talents

Target Relic and Curse Immune allow Fox Queen Himeyuri to control Relics while attacking them. Those talents cost lots of NP, but they are worth it due to the lack of non-Uber crowd-controllers who work against Relic enemies. Her range of 445 gives her usage against many tough targets, including Primeval Cyclone, M. Ost, and even Relic Bun-Bun.

As she has strong stats for her range, Attack Buff and Defense Buff can be considered, though Attack Buff takes priority here. This is after Catseyes have already been used.

Finally, she has Resist Freeze, which is only situational. It can be used against Henry and perhaps even Golem Sunfish, though they would still not really be worth the NP cost.

Appearance

• Normal Form: A woman wearing a kimono, a kitsune (fox) mask, leggings, and okobo (japanese slippers) on top a wooden Japanese lantern. She has three tails flowing behind her. Three Cats are seen floating near the lantern. Two of the cats sport the same mask as the woman while the other has a mask resembling a cat's face.
• Evolved Form: The mask has come off! The same unit, but now in color. The woman has lost the okobo and her leggings have become shorter. She has nine tails now, resembling the nine-tailed Kitsune. The lantern is more dojo-esque with charms. A bell with a red and white rope is present at the front of the lantern. The cats around her have exchanged their masks for fox ears and are holding what seem to be strips of paper attached to a stick
• True Form: The cats holding sticks with paper are now holding racks of bells. The cat at the bottom seems to be holding a brush. The lantern becomes more decorated. Almost all the black turns to red, the yellow to white, and the white to pink. She loses the mask completely but has jade (?) accessories here and there.

Trivia

• It is possibly implied in his description that she is possessing Imagawa Yoshimoto, as she is a Ninetails, and Yoshimoto's description says he is "possessed by an all-knowing fox spirit". Furthermore, Himeyuri's first form says that she "wanders mortal realms hunting for the weak-willed", and these two Cats are the only ones that reference Kitsune lore. In Japanese folklore, she would be considered a Kitsune or, more specifically, a Nogitsune, as she does not actively harbor hatred against humans or Cats in her other forms.
• Trickster Himeyuri is one of the first characters to attack more than one time during their attack animation.
