Summer Fubuki

Release Date: July 31, 2026

Summer Fubuki Character Reference

Summer Fubuki is here to annoy us. I kind of forgot she existed, but her getting an alt makes sense. She looks somewhere between OK-ish and mildly disappointing. She's Dark Physical Multi-Target and brings DoTs to the table, but doesn't really add anything too useful.

Since Fubuki always proclaims herself to be a genius, I guess Cygames decided it would be funny to make her Skills overly complicated. The short version is that all of her Skills gain effects while the nearest Enemy is Poisoned, and they gain even more effects if that Enemy is also Burned. Note that Burn won't do anything to help her if the nearest Enemy isn't already Poisoned. Summer Fubuki's kit has Poison on S2 (which is her first Action) and Burn on UB, so she has the tools to inflict the DoTs she needs to power herself up. They all last 19s, so you should be able to keep them up throughout the battle fairly easily. I'm going to assume the nearest Enemy is always both Poisoned and Burned, as I can't recall an Enemy that was immune to DoTs.

Her personal Damage output looks OK, and she has both a Multi-Target Damage Calculation on UB/S1 and a Single-Target Damage Calculation on UB/S1/S2 targeting the Enemy with the lowest Physical Defense. Multi-Target Bosses usually have one Target that is weaker than the others, so it'll hit that one and do decent Damage. Like the original Fubuki, Summer Fubuki's Multi-Target Damage Calculation scales with the number of Enemies she hits.

Summer Fubuki also has some shred, Critical Damage Received, and Buffs for herself and the Ally in front on UB and S2. UB will Buff the standard trio of Physical Attack, Crit rate, and Crit Damage, and they are permanent. S2 gives immunity to Stuns for 6s and 100 TP. S2 is only used 1/5 Actions in her Loop, so it might be a bit tricky/impossible to time it to block Stuns if they don't line up well with her Loop. Because the UB Buffs are permanent, it would be best to have them go to someone who will appreciate them (i.e. not Violet). The only Dark Tank that comes to mind is Yamato, but if we can get away with running a DPS as our tank, the Buffs would be very nice. Our only DPS option right now is Alpha Chris, but she'll most likely explode outside of very niche circumstances.

The most obvious Dark Multi-Target Character with a DoT to compare Summer Fubuki with is Medusa. The comparison kind of feels like it was supposed to be Tall vs Wide in Civ, where Summer Fubuki has higher personal Damage than Medusa and also Buffs your Tank more, while Medusa is better at Buffing your whole team and has better shred. Unfortunately the comparison breaks down because of Wahrer Drache Shefi; she's currently the powerhouse of Dark Physical Multi-Target, and unfortunately for Summer Fubuki, Wahrer Drache Shefi stands behind her. Medusa can Buff your super Sheffers, so I think Summer Fubuki will be less used than her until we get other Characters/UEs.

Summer Fubuki's opening Action is S2, which comes with a small Multi-Target Blind. You might be inclined to use her in PvP here or there, but I don't think she'll be that good. She isn't a Jammer, so she doesn't benefit from Status Effect Chance in Role Mastery. Blind also only gives a 50% chance to miss, so it's inherently inconsistent.

• Limited

Pros:

• Homescreen core
• DoTs are very good/mandatory against some Multi-Target Bosses like Frost Hound/Toughgeist
• Permanent Buffs on UB will help your tank deal more Damage
  • Will be very good if you can ever run a DPS as your tank
• 6s Stun immunity for her and your Tank on S2, but might not always line up well

Cons:

• Her kit seems to imply Yamato is her preferred Tank (for now at least)
  • Yamato is less likely to be in your box than Violet, and is less commonly used
• Medusa/Violet also have a DoT and they are better supports for Wahrer Drache Shefi

Recommendation: Medium-low priority, maybe Medium if you don't have Yamato, but that's very speculative. From everything I've seen, the teams with Summer Fubuki are a bit worse than what we already have. There might be something someone finds before her banner ends that makes her look better, but I'm not sure what that would be. Even if you want to pull, I'd say wait to see what someone willing to do more detailed testing can come up with. However, I will admit that top left Fubuki is homescreen core.
