Hokusai is certainly becoming a dated unit at this point but she still holds up really well! I think a lot of people are really concerned about her looping capability and damage output, but she still has the benefit of being aoe arts, having hard survival and stacking defense down on the enemy. How do you feel about hokusai nowadays? Thank you all for watching, don't forget to consider liking the video and subscribing for more daily content!
She is a bit dated and it's hard to loop partially because NP gain from berserkers is so low, but she's fairly useful in a few CQs and such due to the prevalence of berserkers, often mutiple, in those.
Still love my NP5 Hokusai. Fantastic for CQs, espcially ones that feature multiple servants. Anti-man is great, and stacking def down on any non-man enemies is still really effective. I think her 2nd skill needs a buff, her utility effects need to last more than 1 turn and maybe an additional effect like crit dmg.
Foreigners have some advantages and classically you'll want them to fight berserker bosses. The thing is, berserk class is neutral so you may want to use other classes anyways, except some special class servants. Kukulkan is game changing (?) because her effects, not because she's a Foreigner. Even though I love Hokusai as a character of the game and the story, she's in a weird spot where she does shine in particulars situations and compositions. Although, she is a fun character to play with, so that's what wins on my book.
She's honestly just one buff away from being quite strong which is just giving her an NP interlude. And with Kuku finally pushing AoE Foreigners into competitive damage levels with other classes, I think it'd be very reasonable, We get a lot of Berserkers on 90++ final waves, so a Hokusai NP interlude combined with her anti-man and extra damage against zerkers would put her in a very competitive spot even with modern arts loopers. Until then... Foreigners have the dopest art in the game as a class so they're always worth looking at lol.
NP5 Hokusai enjoyer here, but I agree she could use an NP buff. Sadly, I have to say, she really needs a third support to loop consistently, be it Reines or Oberon.
Have you tried farming with double castoria and the Mark on a smiling face CE? It's not the most f2p friendly setup, but unless you are on an assassin node, she can loop with that
I loop with Hokusai albeit I feel like my setup isn't easily replicated. NP4+double castoria and instead of black grail I use a MLB mark on a smiling face which increases NP gain way more in my experience. Unfortunately the CE was limited though, and if I need an extra push then I plugsuit nero bride with her bond CE since her first and second skills really help out a ton with np gain and damage respectively. Probably just gonna become a dirty buster looper when koyanskaya comes out tho
I like Hokusai. Of course in terms of characters I do like Abby a bit more. But Hokusai as one of the first Foreigners really holds up. Her kit is kind of fun with the def down on her arts cards and she can get rolling pretty hard when things line up. And she does have a rare situation where her third append is super useful.
In my opinion, she’s a very good servant but as Kuku, KoD and MIX outdamage her. She’s in desperate need of a buff, specifically to her NP. She already has one of the best skillsets in the game. Abproblem with her NP is that lostbelts have very few enemies with the man attribute so the damage is greatly reduced. It’s quite painful that she went from being one of the best servants in the game to barely escaping mid tier.
I Obtained her on NP 2 and i wanted her to be my universal spammer but her damage doesn't help. But well i got Spishtar recently and i have not more problems with spam. But i really like Hokusai so trying to use her more
Thank you for the video! It was very helpful and made me roll for her again ( even though I REALLY should be saving for Koyanskaya): Hokusai was my first Foreigner servant and she really helped me in skandinavian Lostbelt so I have long ago maxed her out (max fou's, sadly not max grailed yet (these poor 4 stars need them more)) and I really love her art and gameplay, so while watching your video I decided to spend up to 20 tickets, to give the girl the NP buff she totally deserves and I got her NP2 on the 14th try!!! I'm so glad! Thank you for giving me a reason to do that!
i’ve been hard saving for morgan but i threw 5 tickets at hokusai since i like her design and don’t have a foreigner thankfully i was lucky enough to pull her
Respectfully, she was absolutely oversold to NA on release. She was spoken of in the same category as top tier DPS units and the hype for her went very unchecked. Glad I only got her with just tickets instead of paid quartz. She's quite frankly dissappointing. Foreigner is probably the worst class in the game because its only advantage is against berserkers, who everyone has advantage against, and other foreigners. They're solid tanks for challenge quests against berserkers but far from necessary units. By the time castoria came out to enable looping as we know it, there were way better servants to make use of and Hokusai had appropriately been dropped from high placement in teir lists (a place she never really earned).
@@muratticugaratti1571 Yeah being an agnostic looper isn't bad in and of itself, its just even Spishtar has the advantage of taking out rulers, the most defensive class in the game as wrll as very strong stats and buffs. Hokusai is just really undercooked for looping in comparison, to say nothing of berserkers giving less refund than usual to boot.
Hokusai is currently outclassed by all other AoE Foreigners save Abi. While Arts does win on the sustain department, that's mostly thanks to how good arts supports are at it. She can spam her NP because she is arts but her damage per NP is low enough that she can barely keep with the others. Her carding is also weak with the others having easy crit procs. crit damage or both. Her utility is also equal or lower to the others. As for a comparison with Kuku, it is a win on Kukus favor. At NP5 and under ideal conditions she has a hard time matching NP1 Kuku with 20 stars, she also looses on card damage given how often and strong Kuku's crits are. She cannot mach her utility either since Kuku increases the party's debuff success, attack, crit res; can place an evade/sure hit on another member and rains stars. The gap it's not as big as I might have implied, but she needs something to increase her damage to keep up at this phase.
She's not that hard to loop with if you have the right tools. Just unlocking her append and using the second summer mystic code can give you a ton of mileage.
She's not hard but neither easy. And now we have Castoria with arts efficency increase too. Double Castoria helped any characters, special lot those bad at np looping.
15:08 It's not "sometimes", that sheet is always misleading, cuz self-buffs only matter for Solo, and even in Solo NP damage wouldn't matter much, so the numbers in there are always irrelevant. Why do you keep referring to it when you know it's misleading ? Imagine newbies looking at that chart, don't know about buffs stacking, they would think Abby is the strongest Foreigner, then Voyager and Koyan are all better than Kukulkan, who looks kinda mediocre, while infact it's the complete opposite, and in practice when they are used in team, Kukulkan would annihilate all of them in damage, and not just outdamage, but DOUBLE their damage, without niche, it's not even close. It's ridiculous how that chart keeps getting used as reference despite how stupidly misleading it is.
One day, they will release her np upgrade and cherry on top it would be with a star bomb, something like lambda melt Until then, i'm happy with my 120 20/20/20 artist
i really like her alot and i did use her alot when realise, but loop is dificult with her not imposible if you have a max scoop, access to double castoria and a second 50% charger sup form W3, but sadly she was clearly made for challenge quest and not farming, which is shame because she had the potencial to be a universal looper for arts teams.
I do like Kukulkan a lot, But I think that her not having Existance outside the domain (and therefore unable to use Gogh to the fullest) is a very low exchange for the Gigantic power she has on her kit, as on how Hokusai stands compared to Her, so long the enemy is man and is not a foreigner with an old god connection, Hokusai stands out very well, if the enemy is just man, and has no Threat ti humanity, Hokusai is definetively the better option
Append Skill 2 unlocked(don't need max) and Double Castoria + Proto Merlin, Hokusai can loop 3 Berserker enemies while using Black Grail. Others may still do better damage, but if you're farming Man enemies, then among the Arts Servants she will hit among the hardest.
Hokusai is certainly becoming a dated unit at this point but she still holds up really well! I think a lot of people are really concerned about her looping capability and damage output, but she still has the benefit of being aoe arts, having hard survival and stacking defense down on the enemy.

Got Hokusai from 5 tickets(One of my top 10 favorite servants)
She is a bit dated and it's hard to loop partially because NP gain from berserkers is so low, but she's fairly useful in a few CQs and such due to the prevalence of berserkers, often mutiple, in those.
I would love to get her at a higher NP than NP1, and I still prefer her over Abby due to her ability to arts loop with the right set up
I'd have rolled Hoku if hell summer wasn't coming up... all in for Melusine/Koyan/Oberon. x_x
Still love my NP5 Hokusai. Fantastic for CQs, espcially ones that feature multiple servants. Anti-man is great, and stacking def down on any non-man enemies is still really effective.
I think her 2nd skill needs a buff, her utility effects need to last more than 1 turn and maybe an additional effect like crit dmg.
I simply like her cause she wields a giant paint brush. Same reason I rolled Gogh
We all bout impractical weapons round here
Mood
Seems logical and reasonable. 🧐
You pass! 🎖👍
As someone who has used Hokusai a lot (NP3 Level 100), I just want her to get an NP damage upgrade, the time has come.
NO!
Yeesss

I have NA and JP accounts. No Foreiners.
My other 4 NA accounts
No extra classes at all
Love Hokusai. Got her up to NP4 this most recent banner of hers, and I got her noodle stopper figure last month. I appreciate your video. 🙏

Me with NP1 Hokusai: She can barely loop on non-Assassin & Berserker enemy. She needs NP upgrade and NP gain.

3:54 khad, she has Gogh compatibility. 2 buster cards is great for her to do incredible buster crit damage. 3 arts would be horrible :Sadge:
I Obtained her on NP 2 and i wanted her to be my universal spammer but her damage doesn't help. But well i got Spishtar recently and i have not more problems with spam. But i really like Hokusai so trying to use her more

Ah Hokusai 1 of my favorite ForeIna, hopefully she can be np buffed in the future I still use her with Clytie alot, both at np2 lvl. 100.
heh fore-Ina
Wah

Other than Koyan dark and Kukulkan(and Van) foreigners are pretty sad yeah

Here's a question... Do every servants AOE or not needs to loop their NP even more so if their Arts?.

I mean, it’s not like there will never be times where you NP without buffs from supporters. It’s not just solo content
I rolled for her cause she was a painter, currently have her at NP2
One day, they will release her np upgrade and cherry on top it would be with a star bomb, something like lambda melt
Until then, i'm happy with my 120 20/20/20 artist

if only the Def down applied before card damage...

Go for the anti berserker append guys...
Bruh the game in the description is grandblue fantasy lmao
Above average hit counts eh?
Let’s play guess the servant
5 Quick 5 Arts 5 Buster 8 Extra
Append Skill 2 unlocked(don't need max) and Double Castoria + Proto Merlin, Hokusai can loop 3 Berserker enemies while using Black Grail.
Others may still do better damage, but if you're farming Man enemies, then among the Arts Servants she will hit among the hardest.
