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 a very versatile support. She can use many torture effects, elemental weaknesses, and Total Damage Reduction. She can also remove positive effects and apply team Evasion.
Pros:
- Access to almost every torture effect in the game
- Outstanding speed and trait
- Multiple elemental weakness skills
- Has two Fire moves as a Light monster
- Low cooldowns
- Double PER
Cons:
- Torture effects only have a 50% chance to land
- NER hurts her pretty badly
- Above-average stamina costs for some moves
- Utilizes Shock, which ruins the point of having Anticipation

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.
- 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, Treetopog, Nisael and Al Canine 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.
