Keep Shinazugawa or reroll?
Shinazugawa has earned a permanent slot: Wind Breathing and aggressive Katana bruisers — Marechi's Blade turns every basic attack into a poison applicator, which pairs perfectly with Wind's pressure style. Whether to reroll depends on your build: a style-matched Legendary beats a mismatched Mythic every time. The reroll guide has the full stopping rules.
How to roll the Shinazugawa clan
Shinazugawa sits in the Mythic bracket: 0.9% of every spin — about 111 spins per Mythic on average, with a coin-flip bracket shot at 77 spins. Codes are the fastest spin source, with levelling milestones and quest rewards behind them. Between codes and the spins that levelling hands out, a dedicated session usually banks enough Mythic attempts. V0.18's reroll change (skill-tree progress survives) removes the last reason to delay the swap.

Building around Shinazugawa
Shinazugawa is a health-as-a-resource kit: Marechi's Blade costs 10% of your Max Health per activation, so the higher your HP pool the more you can spend. Pair with Wind Breathing — the mode's Wind Damage Factor stacks with the style's own pressure.
What Shinazugawa plays like in real fights
Tier letters describe value; fights describe feel. With Shinazugawa equipped, the visible change is 2 more buttons in your rotation — Marechi's Blade, Windstorm Vigor Mode — sitting alongside your breathing or art kit. Underneath, 5 passives (Pain Resistance, Tactical Intellect among others) quietly shape every trade.Net effect: wind Breathing and aggressive Katana bruisers — Marechi's Blade turns every basic attack into a poison applicator, which pairs perfectly with Wind's pressure style. A practical self-test — run a few fights, then imagine the clan unequipped; whichever moments you miss its inputs or stats are exactly where Shinazugawa pays its rent.
Shinazugawa against the meta
In the V0.2-era meta, Shinazugawa keeps its slot because its value survives the standard counters. Poison teams (Kocho, Iguro, Insect builds) farm this kit unless a status-immunity passive is on the card. Counter-heavy duelists (Soyama, Shockwave users) feast on predictable openers — Shinazugawa's skills give you something to answer with, but timing is yours to find. And zone-control demons (Shabana) meet an answer in Shinazugawa's active kit — you can contest the zone rather than vacate it.
Shinazugawa vs every other Mythic clan
| Clan | Tier | Kit shape | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shinazugawa (this page) | A | 2 skills + 5 passives | Wind Breathing and aggressive Katana bruisers — Marechi's Blade turns every basic attack into a poison applicator, which pairs perfectly with Wind's pressure style. |
| Himejima | A | 2 skills + 3 passives | Tanky melee and M1-heavy builds that mix skills into swings, for PvP and bosses. It has no Stone Breathing bonus despite the name — the tank passives are the reason to pick it. |
| Iguro | A | 3 skills + 4 passives | Serpent Breathing and poison duelists who reposition a lot — Flash Step plus the snake's bind makes the whole kit about controlling space. |
| Agatsuma | A | 2 skills + 4 passives | Thunder Breathing mains — most of its damage bonus is tied to Thunder, so it is much weaker on any other style. If you did not roll it, do not pick Thunder for the pairing alone; Thunder is strong anyway. |
| Douma | A | 2 skills + 3 passives | Defensive demon and Evil Art builds that want ways out of combos, especially in PvP. Keen Intellect makes it the progression clan for demon mains. |
| Tamayo | A | 3 active skills, no passives | Party support and boss runs: a heal plus a full cooldown reset for the whole group. The V0.2 stat buff made it viable for solo play too, but groups are where Pharmaceutical Skills prints value. |
Reading the table: kit shape predicts playstyle before stats do — active-skill clans spike when pressed, passive-only clans pay out every second. Between two clans serving the same Marechi's Blade-style build, the stat line above usually breaks the tie — passive percentages compound on every hit, while an active skill only pays when its window opens.

How Shinazugawa compares in its bracket
Inside the Mythic bracket, roles diverge sharply: raw damage (Iguro, Agatsuma), tanking (Himejima), escapes and demon progression (Douma), or party utility (Tamayo). Match the role to your path before comparing stats. Shinazugawa's identity here is its mix of active skills and always-on passives. The style-specific damage factors multiply every hit of your main kit, which is why a matching roll outranks generic power from any rarity. Side-by-side numbers are on the full clan table; ranking reasoning is on the tier list page.
