Sakura Kakumei Character Tier Guide – The Best Maidens To Use For Imperial Flower Warfare

Disclaimer: we’ll be updating this guide with more maidens periodically. 

The latest mobile turn-based RPG game from Sega and Delight Work are having a go at the Sakura Wars franchise with a spin-off called Sakura Kakumei (or Sakura Revolution). Just like the developer’s last work Fate: Grand Order, you control a bunch of heroes and make them fight enemies in turn-based style with special awesome moves.

The difference? You have an all-girl army who pilot special suits of steampunk mecha armour and packed with swords, bows, guns, and even electric-shooting guitars. There’s a lot of waifus with battle armour who can kick ass, but which ones should you gacha for, or focus on for levelling up purposes?

Basics

Your goal in combat is the defeat the enemy and not die. Combat is turn-based and is done via line movements. There are five lines; line 1 and 2 is where most enemies will spawn at, while lines 4 and 5 will be where your units reside.

You have three options when controlling a maiden:

  • Advance: Move forward. Attack enemies in range. If a unit scores a critical hit on Advance, that unit will attack an additional time.
  • Charge: No movement. Attack enemies automatically in range. Regular attacks charge the special meter bar by 15. Crits will charge it by 30. You want to do this if you want to perform your special ASAP.
  • Retreat: Attack enemies in range, then moves back a line. Your maiden gets a defense buff. Landing a critical when you attack will give the maiden a better defense buff.

There are three types of roles and types for each maiden:

  • Attack type. These are your ranged units who can deal damage at long range. They have terrible HP, so do not make them advance forward. You can tell that a unit is an Attack type when they have two red bars next to their level.
  • Balance type. These units have decent HP and Attack stats. They can hold the line while dishing out damage. They usually have one red bar next to their level.
  • Tank type. Ranged attackers who are better at taking hits than dishing them. These units usually have one red bar and one greyed-out bar next to their level.

Generally, you will want to create a balanced party with at least a Tank who can protect the line from advancing enemies. Most enemies would focus their aggro on an Attack type, since they have less health and are easy pickings. It would be wise to have your Balance and Tank types advance and obstruct enemies. Also, you will want to find ways to charge your Special meter so you can perform your Super moves to deal massive damage.

There are seven elements in the game: Fire, Wind, Earth, Water, Sun, Moon, and Spirit. The weakness table goes like this:

  • Fire > Wind > Earth > Water > Fire
  • Sun >Moon > Sun
  • Spirit is neutral.
