Minato Natsukawa: A Growth Guide for This Formidable and Versatile Character That Strikes Fear into the Hearts of Enemies!
Dear companions, today we’re going to talk about an existence that will surely surprise and delight you all—Minato Natsukawa! This 5-star Anemo Pistol Resonator is like a “Swiss Army knife” in the game, capable of handling anything with excellence. Whether it’s dealing damage or providing support, this amazing character will leave you thoroughly satisfied!
First, let’s dive into her role. Minato Natsukawa primarily serves as a sub-DPS and support. But make no mistake, she’s not just limited to supporting roles! Her skill mechanics are incredibly versatile, revolving around the Wind Erosion effect. Her 4th basic attack, Resonance Skill, and Resonance Burst all apply Wind Erosion, while her Encore skill enhances the effect and neatly groups enemies, making it easier for your team to unleash devastating attacks. This makes her an elite support-dealer!
When it comes to skill upgrades, there’s a strategy to follow. Her 5-star Resonance Burst must be maxed out, with the Loop skill at 3 stars. Her basic attack and Resonance Skill can be at 2 stars, while the Encore skill only needs to be at 1 star. After all, dealing damage is our main goal, so support skills can be moderately reduced as long as they remain functional.
Next up—weapon recommendations! The 5-star exclusive weapon, Woodland Aria, is the top choice. This weapon is practically tailor-made for Minato Natsukawa. With a base attack of 500 and a whopping 36% critical rate, the numbers are impressive. The weapon effects are even more enticing: a 12% increase in attack, a 24% increase in Anemo damage when Wind Erosion is applied to targets, and a 10% reduction in enemies’ Anemo resistance. If you don’t have the exclusive weapon, the 4-star Romance in Farewell is a great alternative. With a base attack of 463 and an 18.2% attack boost, its effect—increasing damage to enemies with abnormal effects by up to 8% (stackable up to 4 times)—is quite formidable.
When it comes to Stigmata, the Flowing Clouds, Fading Sky set is the absolute best. This set not only boosts Anemo damage but also increases the Anemo damage of your team by 15% when Wind Erosion is applied, with an additional 15% boost for yourself. If your team has other Anemo characters, the Light Clouds, Rising Moon set is also an excellent choice, providing a 22.5% attack boost after Encore. New players can opt for a mix of Flowing Clouds, Fading Sky and Valley Wind’s Long Cry, which also meets basic needs.
For Stigmata terms, prioritize critical rate or critical damage as the main terms, followed by Anemo damage and attack percentage. Secondary terms should focus on critical rate and damage, along with some points in Resonance efficiency and attack percentage.
Finally, let’s look at team recommendations. Minato Natsukawa shines in Wind Erosion effect teams, Light Noise effect teams, and low-config teams. In a Wind Erosion team, pairing her with Fei Bo and Wanderer: Anemo maximizes Wind Erosion effects. In a Light Noise team, she supports alongside Fei Bo and Xuanzi. In a low-config team, pairing her with Wanderer and Bai Ji ensures both damage and healing capabilities.
Hopefully, this guide has been helpful! Wishing you the best of luck in your gacha pulls, and may Minato Natsukawa soon join your team! Remember to top up at Treabar before pulling for her, and enjoy up to 22% off!
