Passive

Sharp as a Whip
When Takeda successfully blocks any basic attack, there is a chance he counters. Kung Jin, Cassie Cage and Jacqui Briggs gain +30% damage, health and critical damage when on the same team.

Role

Shirai Ryu Takeda is a named-character support with a personal counter opportunity after blocking basic attacks.

Strengths

Kung Jin, Cassie Cage and Jacqui Briggs can receive offense and durability benefits together rather than only one narrow stat.

Weaknesses

His counter needs a successful block and a chance trigger, so it is not a universal interruption against unblockable pressure.

Best teams

Use the specifically named teammates, selecting a critical-capable variant when you want the critical-damage part of his support to matter.

Where to use

Choose him for those supported lineups or guarded basic-attack exchanges, keeping his support value separate from the uncertain counter trigger.
