Rociuko was Kihaku's apprentice, but she had great ambitions that were always crushed by her teacher. She got so tired of Kihaku's traditional ways that she left him and joined his greatest enemy, Harusami. Kihaku will regret having underestimated his apprentice, because now she'll make Harusami her puppet and Kihaku her victim.
Role: Support/Curser
Overview
Rociuko is an outstanding Light support, as she has one of the best traits in the game. She can use this trait to bypass other annoying traits to apply her many, MANY effects. For example, she has three skills where she can apply three different elemental weaknesses, on 0 cooldown and stamina costs. She can apply three tortures at once in several skills, but only with a 50% chance, but at least with a 0 cooldown cost attached. Control Immunity means she can't be stopped for doing her job, and Anticipation opens up her more annoying side. If any enemy tries to use an extra turn to their advantage, she can use either PER and then AoE PER, or Total Damage Reduction to shut down an extra-turn attacker for example. Lastly, she has access to a team NER and Evasion, meaning even IF she had her Trait removed, she can just cleanse it away and evade any enemy attacks. She's one of the most insane monsters and shouldn't be doubted on the battlefield, outside of her Life and Trap relic of course.

Recommended Allies
- Warmaster Sherezar is an absolute must-have, especially for a Torture-based set. Sherezar's trait gives his entire team True Vision, which guarantees Rociuko's 50% chance torture effects on landing and removes the risk of using them entirely. Any other monsters that can give True Vision like Akunobuki, Wickah, and Zenfira are also viable choices.
- Guard Down is an alternative way to use Rociuko's Torture effects, since applying it also gives her a 100% chance of landing them. Use monsters like Sunblast, Wildbird, Nisael, and Hookuai for this.
Counters
- Strong Metal attackers like the Talos variants can take down this masked woman. Special counters goes to Makugan who can PER her Evasion and Zizania who can bypass her Evasion with Pierce.
- Her trait is amazing but can be denied by Grakon, Thundeer and Warmaster Thalassa as they can disable her trait then deny her.
