What it costs to finish this character
Ascension alone: 760 resin (boss drops only) · talents alone: 590 resin.
Talent domain: Light, open Wednesday, Saturday, Sunday.
A Crown of Insight is needed for the tenth level of each talent, and crowns are not farmable at any resin price — they come from events.
Materials and mora above are exact, straight from the game’s own tables. The resin figure and the day count divide by an average drop per run, which the game does not publish — they are a community-measured mean, not a promise.

Inuzaka All-Round Defense
Deals AoE Geo DMG and sets up a General's War Banner.
General's War Banner
Provides up to 3 buffs to active characters within the skill's AoE based on the number of Geo characters in the party at the time of casting:
· 1 Geo character: Adds "Standing Firm" - DEF Bonus.
· 2 Geo characters: Adds "Impregnable" - Increased resistance to interruption.
· 3 Geo characters: Adds "Crunch" - Geo DMG Bonus.
Gorou can deploy only 1 General's War Banner on the field at any one time. Characters can only benefit from 1 General's War Banner at a time. When a party member leaves the field, the active buff will last for 2s.
Hold
Adjust the location of the skill.
"Take up this formation and we'll be safe — I guarantee it!" As a general and a leader of troops, the last thing Gorou wants is to see is those who follow him getting hurt.

Juuga: Forward Unto Victory
Displaying his valor as a general, Gorou deals AoE Geo DMG and creates a field known as General's Glory to embolden his comrades.
General's Glory
This field has the following properties:
· Like the General's War Banner created by Inuzaka All-Round Defense, provides buffs to active characters within the skill's AoE based on the number of Geo characters in the party. Also moves together with your active character.
· Generates 1 Crystal Collapse every 1.5s that deals AoE Geo DMG to 1 opponent within the skill's AoE.
· Pulls 1 elemental shard in the skill's AoE to your active character's position every 1.5s (elemental shards are created by Crystallize reactions).
If a General's War Banner created by Gorou currently exists on the field when this ability is used, it will be destroyed. In addition, for the duration of General's Glory, Gorou's Elemental Skill "Inuzaka All-Round Defense" will not create the General's War Banner.
If Gorou falls, the effects of General's Glory will be cleared.
"We have the high ground!" Gorou can ever so slightly change the terrain of the battlefield to help win victory. This technique has seen him through many battles against seemingly superior opposition.

Constellations
- C1 · Rushing Hound: Swift as the Wind
When characters (other than Gorou) within the AoE of Gorou's General's War Banner or General's Glory deal Geo DMG to opponents, the CD of Gorou's Inuzaka All-Round Defense is decreased by 2s.
This effect can occur once every 10s.
- C2 · Sitting Hound: Steady as a Clock
While General's Glory is in effect, its duration is extended by 1s when a nearby active character obtains an Elemental Shard from a Crystallize reaction, or triggers a Lunar-Crystallize reaction.
This effect can occur once every 0.1s. Max extension is 3s.
- C3 · Mauling Hound: Fierce as Fire
Increases the Level of Inuzaka All-Round Defense by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
- C4 · Lapping Hound: Warm as Water
When General's Glory is in the "Impregnable" or "Crunch" states, it will also heal active characters within its AoE by 50% of Gorou's own DEF every 1.5s.
- C5 · Striking Hound: Thunderous Force
Increases the Level of Juuga: Forward Unto Victory by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
- C6 · Valiant Hound: Mountainous Fealty
For 12s after using Inuzaka All-Round Defense or Juuga: Forward Unto Victory, increases the CRIT DMG of all nearby party members' Geo DMG based on the buff level of the skill's field at the time of use:
· "Standing Firm": +10%
· "Impregnable": +20%
· "Crunch": +40%
This effect cannot stack and will take reference from the last instance of the effect that is triggered.
Weapons and artifacts
UNSURE This is not a tier list and not community guidance — this product has neither. It is a mechanical shortlist, and the rule is printed so you can check it: Bows of 4★ and above whose secondary stat is one this character’s ascension stat scales with, ordered by base attack at level 90. Weapon passives are not weighed, because a passive is an effect and not a number.
| Weapon | Rarity | Base ATK at 90 | Secondary stat |
|---|---|---|---|
 Skyward Harp | 5★ | 674 | CRIT Rate |
 The Daybreak Chronicles | 5★ | 674 | CRIT DMG |
 Amos' Bow | 5★ | 608 | ATK% |
 Polar Star | 5★ | 608 | CRIT Rate |
 Thundering Pulse | 5★ | 608 | CRIT DMG |
 The First Great Magic | 5★ | 608 | CRIT DMG |
 Astral Vulture's Crimson Plumage | 5★ | 608 | CRIT DMG |
 Aqua Simulacra | 5★ | 542 | CRIT DMG |
To turn this into a real recommendation section, add a build dataset — per character, the weapons and sets a community source actually recommends, with the rotation each assumes. Nothing in the game’s published data contains that judgement, and a ranking invented here would be indistinguishable from a researched one, which is why there is not one.

To build a team section, add team data. Which characters go together is judgement about rotations, energy and shielding that this product does not receive and will not guess at.
