Friend
Analysis
Section titled “Analysis”Tier D. A bottom-tier R Friend with no friendship-training trigger and only thin event utility. Skip it for any serious build.
Friend cards earn their slot through the friendship-training trigger, the thing that flips a non-stat support into a stamina, heal, and skill engine once you cross the bond threshold. This R has none of it. You get training-deck filler instead. A measly 5% Training Effectiveness at Lv40 sits next to 25 Initial Friendship Gauge and event numbers (40% Event Recovery, 25% Event Effectiveness) that only do anything when its own events pop. The 20% Failure Protection and 15% Energy Cost Reduction read fine, except they only apply while you’re training next to it, which you won’t.
The skill kit is thin. Maverick, Lay Low, Shake It Out, plus a couple of runner and end-closer effects, all arrive through event choices rather than hints. No guaranteed proc, and most are recovery or off-meta padding anyway.
It’s up against every other Friend option and loses to all of them. The SR and SSR Aoi Kiryuin run the actual friendship mechanic, same as Tazuna and the rest of the meta friends. This one just sits there.
- Pros: free from the gacha, a decent failure and energy safety net at MLB, passable Career padding on a fresh account.
- Cons: zero friendship trigger, almost no stat bonus, weak event skills, outclassed by every higher-rarity Friend.
Slot it only when your box is empty and you need a warm body. Pulling for it makes no sense.
