The conditional crit damage is something of a gimmick-there’s no guarantee you’ll have the cards and stars to crit when you’re also piercing an invuln-but it can add a ton of extra damage if you get lucky. Pierce invuln is a great form of utility to have for CQs, as it can let Muramasa push through for 3-turn kills against enemies that might stymie some of the other Arts loopers. The skill lets Muramasa pierce invuln for a turn and boosts his crit damage by a whopping 100% if he’s doing so.

Incidentally, the last passive is in reference to the reputation of Muramasa’s swords for being cursed, and specifically the various legends about his swords bringing ruin to the Tokugawa, which makes it a really neat bit of gameplay-representation-of-lore.Įye for Craftsmanship may be Muramasa’s least important skill, but that doesn’t make it any less absurd. He also has two unique passives: one that boosts the whole team's crit damage by a bit, and (more importantly) one that gives him a permanent 20% power mod versus kings, which is super nice when it's relevant. For passives, Muramasa has Magic Resistance, as well as Territory Creation, which is excellent for Muramasa as it's a permanent boost to his NP damage and NP gain. That said, Muramasa’s Quick is one of the worst we’ve seen in a long time, so it’s generally a card to avoid. Muramasa will have an easy time looping his NP, especially with cards in play.

His NP gain is better, though, with high-standard NP gain for his deck and plenty of persistent Arts buffs to push it higher.

His hit-counts aren’t terribly high and he only has one Quick, so without star gen buffs in play he’s not going to drop many stars.

His attack and HP are both middle-of-the-road, which isn’t amazing on an offense-oriented Servant, but it could be worse. Muramasa’s stat spread is fairly middling as Sabers go.
