Description

A cross between a turtle and a serpent, Genbu has been worshipped since ancient times as guardian of the north and the symbol of water. The dual nature of its intertwined snake and turtle bodies have also made it a symbol of ying and yang, and indeed, its ties to Onmyo magic are deep. Highly skilled Onmyo mages venerate Genbu as their guardian spirit, and have mastered the many powers of water in order to extinguish fire, wich they see as an agent of chaos.

How to Obtain

Strategies and Notes

  • The Guardian Spirit Talisman effect involves Genbu creating a large, water based splash attack at mid range.
  • Genbu is a very Magic oriented Guardian Spirit, and offers considerable defenses, but at the cost of speed.
  • Genbu is the only Guardian Spirit whose Protection includes a penalty.
  • Note that is slows dashing, not running, so your normal  movement speed does not vary (I have just tried it and it slows running, not dashing. Bug or wrong translation?).

 

Table Key

Recovery Rate at which the Living Weapon gauge recovers when you absorb Amrita while using a Living Weapon.
Tenacity The effectiveness of a Living Weapon that is active when your Life is under a certain level.
Amrita Gauge Rate The rate at which you gain Amrita. The higher it is, the qicker the gauge fills. When the Amrita gauge hits maximum, you can invoke a Living Weapon.
