Builds

Set	Reasoning
2-Piece Burning Curse 2-Piece One-hit Kill 4-Piece Beast (AKA Expert)	Burning Curse is generally the best damage artifact set for any hunter because it increases the user's damage as the fight goes on, so having at least the 2-Set is a must. Because Kanae's Basic Skill 2 "becomes [her] Ultimate Skill," One-hit Kill will tremendously boost her Basic Skill 2 damage, which the user is able to use repeatedly. Expert has the ability to increase the user's Attack by up to 160% making it the best Attack scaling jewelry for hunters that specialize in damage.
4-Piece Burning Curse 4-Piece Expert	Burning Curse is generally the best damage artifact set for any hunter because it increases the user's damage as the fight goes on, so having the 4-Set works very well. Expert has the ability to increase the user's Attack by up to 160% making it the best Attack scaling jewelry for dps hunters.
4-Piece Burning Curse 4-Piece Obsidian	Burning Curse is generally the best damage artifact set for any hunter because it increases the user's damage as the fight goes on, so having the 4-Set works very well. Obsidian works very well on her as she will have a 60% increase in damage while above 40% MP. Due to Kanae's high MP usage, the user should have lots of MP Consumption Reduction anyways, but having it will be required to use this set effectively.

Recommendations

• Fire Damage Dealer
• Tawata Kanae can inflict incredible damage to targets in the [Break] state. In addition, when she gains a specific effect, it transforms her Basic Skill 2 into her Enhanced Basic Skill 2, which deals the same damage as her Ultimate Skill, allowing her to decimate her target.
• When an enemy dies or one of her attacks successfully puts an enemy in the [Break] state, she gains the [Instinct] effect, increasing her Critical Hit Rate. When the [Instinct] stacks a certain number of times, it activates the [Sixth Sense] effect, enhancing the effect even more.

Dossier

Dossier #01: Heroic

Long, dark hair and blood-red eyes. Anyone who spies Tawata Kanae will never forget her intimidating aura. The deep darkness in her eyes makes it hard for people to read her emotions.

She never wavered. She was resolute and tough. She couldn't be moved.

But even she had one person she deeply respected.

Goto Ryuji.

She saw Goto as an irreproachable hero whose equal would never be found. He was her role model: an unwavering, unbreakable man.

The first time they met, Kanae was passing by the site of a Red Gate. Only low-ranking hunters had been dispatched by the Hunters Association, so they failed to prevent a dungeon break. Got Ryuji stepped in, and at that moment, she decided that she wanted to become just like him.

Dossier #02: His Path

Once she had found a purpose, Kanae's life began to move in a whole new direction. Through rigorous training to perfect her skills, she pushed herself to her limits. Then, as if the heavens had responded to her determination, she awakened as an S-Rank hunter.

The Blade Guild didn't choose her: she chose it. To Kanae, it was more than just a guild. It was the only way for her to work with her long-admired hero, Goto Ryuji.

She wanted to be a part of his world. She wanted to share the same values as him, and above all, she wanted his respect.

What drove her wasn't a flight of fancy. Her ravenous enthusiasm and her innate competitiveness were the driving forces that pushed her to grow faster than anyone else.

Dossier #03: Reminders

Even after joining the Blade Guild, she was constantly pushing herself to become stronger and proved herself in one intense battle after another.

Her achievements were noticed. At first, she was just another promising hunter, but she had soon established herself as an unquestionable leader.

It was the brutal impact of her efforts that finally caught Goto Ryuji's attention: scars that reached every inch of her body. But she didn't try to hide them. Those were reminders of how far she had come and told a story of every battlefield where she had proven herself.

She gave everything she had to earn the right to stand by her idol's side. It was only after achieving more than anyone else who had come before her that she could work with Goto Ryuji. But it wasn't the prestige she had acquired that satisfied her: knowing that the person who had shaped her future was now her peer was enough to make her happy.

Dossier #04: Essence

On the day of the Jeju Island Raid, Kanae sat beside Mr. Goto and offered her congratulations. He would soon become a National Level Hunter. No one would be able to look down on him.

However, Mr. Goto remained still. He stared at the sea without saying a word. The heavy look on his face was so deep and so distant that even Kanae couldn't figure out what he was thinking.

There was some hunger that seemed to be pushing him to go further and climb higher- even when it no longer served the purpose of upholding his duty. The world he saw then must have been much more vast than she had ever known.

In truth, Kanae had noticed this shift in his behavior a long time ago. He was no longer the Goto Ryuji she had admired.

But she reassured herself. Even if his tactics had changed, his was still the same man. Goto Ryuji was still a hero who wanted to protect his country, and that intention had to be what drove him forward.

Dossier #05: Conviction

Kanae pretended not to see how he was changing and suppressed her confusion.

Her idol would never go astray. He would always choose the best path forward.

Kanae wore her trust on her sleeve alongside her "medals". She carved faith into her heart as deeply as her enemies had carved their blades into her skin. Goto Ryuji was her only hero for a reason. He would never fall. Nothing would go wrong if she followed where he led.

By the time she reached Korea's shores, she was determined to risk everything for Goto Ryuji. No matter what he chose to do, she was ready to follow him through thick and thin as his most loyal comrade.
