“I don’t feel like changing. I mean, Xiang Yu complimented this swimsuit.”

When Xiang Yu told Yu Meiren to get in a bathing suit and enjoy summer, her true nature emerged even if she’s a bit tsundere about it. As a Single Target Quick Lancer, not only did Yu transform from an Assassin to a Lancer, she transformed from one of the worst Servants in the game to one of the premiere male boss killers around.

Yu’s kit is packed to the gills with all one needs to kill a man. Her burst damage is insane thanks to Dance of Bygone Days EX’s ability to both boost her Quick and the party’s Critical damage. Combined with her Supereffective modifier on her Noble Phantasm against men, there’s no chance. With the right supports, she also has great sustained damage as well, having high crits for several turns. And of course, she has the right self-sufficiencies with a charge on Conqueror's Princess EX and a Guts on Summer Incarnated Elemental A+.

The main problem with Yu comes from her sustainability. While she does have a Guts skill to survive one time, that is counteracted by how she’ll receive all hits the turn she uses her Conqueror's Princess skill. She’ll also have a bit of problem with NP gain without support even with her boosts. It’ll also be a challenge getting stars to her as she has minimal generation.

Yu is used by Masters as a boss killer, capable of doing close to a million damage on her Noble Phantasm with the proper setup against Male Archers. The only real question is whether she really did change her clothes because Xiang Yu told her to, or if she just was tired of being a bottom of the barrel Assassin.

🟢 Strengths

Burst Damage

Yu has so much going for her with Burst Damage that she competes with even some top tier boss killers like Scathach for one-hit strength. Her Noble Phantasm alone is Quick type which makes it slightly more powerful than others, but comes with a 50% bonus against Males. As this is tied to her Noble Phantasm, it applies multiplicatively with Craft Essence boosts such as NP Damage up or event damage bonuses. If that weren’t enough, she gets a huge chunk of damage boost from her Quick crits, dealing an extra 50% for every Crit. A NPQQ chain in theory could deal close to 1.5 million damage with a Black Grail and a double Skadi support.

Sustained Damage

Yu’s biggest buffs to her Crit and Quick last 3-turns on a 5-turn cooldown, so she will not be long without them in any extended fight. As these are sizeable boosts, she is able to deal damage throughout the fight if needed. 

Self-Sufficient

Although supports help her immensely, Yu has what all Servants need to operate independently. For the NP side of things she has a charge and NP gain rate buffs (which can increase on certain fields types). And for survival, she has a pretty heft guts reviving her with about half health.

🔴 Weaknesses

Low Durability

Yu does have a Guts to survive, but this may in effect be cutting her health in half from the start. Her charge skill brings the attention of all enemies to her for a turn, and without an evasion or invincibility she’ll be taking that as damage. Seeing how she’s likely facing bosses, this could be enough to knock her main first HP bar out.

Low Natural NP Gain

Yu has a relatively high NP gain modifier at 1.1% per hit, but her card’s hit counts are rather low with only a 3-hit Quick and 4-hit Extra. While this is boosted some by Summer Incarnated Elemental, she’ll likely have to rely on supports for the rest of her gauge. 

Low Star Gain

As a Single-target Lancer, Yu has difficulty producing her own stars unlike some of the other Quick Lancers. Her lower hit counts make it hard to produce a stash of stars, and her supports likely will not be providing much either for her without CEs.

A master going into a boss fight with Yu would want to use Dance of Bygone Days EX as soon as possible to take advantage of her Crit damage. This skill could debatably be leveled first, but should always go to max. Conqueror's Princess is a nice way to access her Noble Phantasm earlier, but is dangerous to use unless Yu is protected somehow. Summer Incarnated Elemental is without a doubt the weakest of her skills only offering trivial levels of NP gain rate and HP.

  • Summer Incarnated Elemental A+ is Yu’s main survival tool, offering a 1-time guts which lasts for 5 turns. With a 6-turn cooldown at max level, this skill could in theory allow her to almost always have a guts on. For this reason alone it is suggested to level this to max, but at last priority. The skill also offers her 20% bonus NP gain rate and another 20% if she’s near water or sunlight, but these wind up being far too situational to target. 
  • Conqueror's Princess EX is Yu’s battery, providing up to a 20% charge to any party member. Typically Masters are going to use this on Yu herself to top her off, but it could in theory go to a support for situational reasons. While it has a low cooldown of five turns, it does attract all attacks to Yu for a turn without Yu having any way to defend herself. If one is available, this in tandem with Summer Incarnated Elemental could give her a massive boost in NP gauge thanks to hits taken from enemies. Level this to max and at top priority if you favor her NP, or second if you favor her Critical capacity. 
  • Dance of Bygone Days EX might as well be cheating. For 3 turns, she will not only get a small boost to her Quick cards, but a major Crit damage boon which applies not only to herself but the entire party. On a mere 5-turn cooldown, she can have this active almost constantly, dishing out criticals as needed. If you favor Critical capacity, level this first, or second if you prefer her NP, but always to max.

🖼️ Craft Essence Recommendations

Yu’s kit is primarily centered around Noble Phantasm damage, so her CE should primarily focus on boosting that skill up. She benefits from the standard suggestions of NP Damage Up CEs if one can charge up her gauge with supports, Starting NP Gauge CEs if one cannot or wants to use her for multiple NPs with supports, or Mixed Damage / Starting NP Gauge CEs to get a little bit of both worlds. With her NP gain and the right cards, a Mixed Starting NP Gauge / NP Gain Rate CE can sometimes substitute for the better Starting NP gauge CEs for the same effect. Lacking a NP Damage up, a Burn Supereffective CE could have some lesser benefits.

  • The Black Grail: If facing an enemy with a large HP bar, this would be Yu’s goto CE, using it to boost her power up and multiplying with her NP damage supereffective modifier against males. 80% NP Damage boost is still an 80% NP damage boost. Masters should be careful about using this without Summer Incarnated Elemental maxed as its health tick could kill her in longer fights.
  • Kaleidoscope / The Imaginary Element / Dragon’s Meridian: Standard starting NP gauge CEs help Yu unleash her Noble Phantasm earlier in the fight.
  • Knights of Marines / Holy Night Supper / Golden Sumo: Boulder Tournament: Usually, a Servant with so many Quick boosts does not get Knight of the Marines suggested first, but with her 20% self charge, she only needs another 20% (possibly acquired via coins at bond level 12, a support, or a Mystic Code) to use her Noble Phantasm. Without that 20%, the Knight of the Marines’s 60% is trivial, so the other suggestions will boost up her damage further with a 50% start.
  • Magical Girl of Sapphire: In a double Skadi setup, Yu with a MLB Magical Girl of Sapphire will regenerate 20% or more of her gauge so long as she’s able to do 1 overgauge hit, get 1 non-Buster attack in after her Noble Phantasm, or have a Mystic Code Quick support from Chaldea Pathfinder or Tropical Summer. This combined with a 10% charge from those Mystic codes, her own 20% charge, and a second Skadi’s 50% gauge boost would allow her to use two consecutive Noble Phantasms, similar to a MLB Kaleidoscope. 
  • Honey Lake: Yu’s Noble Phantasm inflicts a 3-turn Curse and Burn debuff to its victims. Honey Lake can take advantage of this with its 40% Powermod against victims of Burn. It admittedly is not as powerful as it should be in theory as it stacks additively with her Critical damage, and the burn effect comes after damage in the Noble Phantasm, but if a Master can get off a second Noble Phantasm within 3 turns, this could serve as a good midway point between a mixed CE’s damage and a Black Grail’s damage boost.

Character Info

"The summer resort! A vacation with my Xiang Yu!" And with a flash, Yu Mei-ren happily transformed her Spirit Origin into a swimsuit, but...things happened and Xiang Yu was left behind in Chaldea. - End of chapter 1 - However... Even though Yu Mei-ren's dreams were shattered, the investigation of the Singularity was far from over. General Xiang Yu's calculations indicate the presence of summer temptations, and so the gorgeous lady of the ages takes up the spear loaned to her and steps out into the summer Singularity. - End of chapter 2 -

Profile 1

Height/Weight: 160cm, 49kg Origin: History, The Book of Han Region: China Alignment: Lawful-Evil Gender: Female She will do anything to maintain order between her and Xiang Yu.

Profile 2

Yu Mei-ren learns that the "beast of summer temptation" that Xiang Yu mentioned referred to "delusions over the summer" and "decreased ability to resist seduction." Rather than be concerned, Yu Mei-ren says, "does that mean...my Xiang Yu is concerned that I will be seduced by others!?" As she becomes more enamored with Xiang Yu, she also became more relentless than ever about turning away any males who approach her. -End of Yu Mei-ren's Summer - Personality: She is essentially the same as the normal Yu Mei-ren, but after borrowing Xiang Yu's spear, she is in slightly higher spirits. At the same time, she feels an even closer bond with Xiang Yu, and while her general distaste for others is still the same, she has become even more unforgiving of any who hit on her. Flirts must die. This applies not only to those who try to pick her up, but also to anybody who looks at her funny (even if she only thinks it happened). As such, her spear will surely seek out anyone who so much as glances at her swimsuit form. A necessary move to protect my Xiang Yu's chastity, is her claim.

Profile 3

Summer Incarnated Elemental: A+ The fact remains the same she is still an incarnated elemental. But...with her Spirit Origin changing into a swimsuit form, she is slightly more optimized for summer. Her absorption efficiency increases if she is surrounded by summer-themed nature, like the water from a lake in a campground or bright sunlight. One may think this is contrary to how a vampire ought to behave, but she clearly doesn't care. And because her preferences are unchanged, you may see her out sunbathing, complaining how hot it is.

Profile 4

Dance of Bygone Days: EX A skill that represents the sword dance that was once performed for Xiang Yu. She may detest human culture and think that mimicking it is absurd, but she may also bend that rule for her Xiang Yu. She doesn't know if her dance is good. She doesn't know how others perceive her performance, but it doesn't matter. The only thing she knows is that at times, dancing was necessary. And she is the only one who knows how Xiang Yu assessed her dance and what his face looked like as he watched her. The sight and skill have been deeply engraved in her own Spirit Origin as a precious memory. Normally this skill is sealed or unusable unless Xiang Yu is nearby. But this time around, the impact of Xiang Yu's spear being loaned to her broke the skill's seal, enabling it to be used with the spear serving as a king of substitute. It has now been arranged to be a spear dance.

Profile 5

[Anti-Fling Rondo] Rank: A NP Type: Anti-Army Range: 1 - 10 Maximum Targets: 20 The Lance Dance To Annihilate Summer Monsters. The term "fling" in this case refers to "unfaithfulness" or "summer love," and it indirectly points to the summer monster mentioned throughout this event. The loaned spear is an embodiment of Xiang Yu's love (at least she thinks it is), and is used as an anti-summer monster weapon that eradicates the enemy. It also has a special attack against males due to her outrageous presumptions. Though Yu Mei-ren never trained in martial arts or tactics, her love for Xiang Yu was roused to the extreme, and she remembered the sword dance she once performed for him. She figured she could leverage that same maneuver but using a spear, which resulted in this Noble Phantasm. For some reason her dance turned out to resemble pole dancing. Much like with her original Noble Phantasm "Eternal Lament," she destroys her own physical body to make her magical energy go out of control to induce calamitous weather. But as she spins using Xiang Yu's spear as her axis, the rotation creates a tornado-shaped curse instead of a curse of bloody rain. The eternal lament has changed form to become the rondo dance of death.

So don't hesitate to throw resources at me. I'll pay you back one day.
Ascension 3
Feel like stopping now?
Well too bad. If you've come this far, there's no stopping now.
The vampires your culture believes in are said to suck away everything, ignoring the convenience of those around, right? Am I wrong?
Ascension 4
(Sigh). What a fool. What an utter fool.
Do you know what the word "fool" means? It's for soft-hearted dummies like you.
You've been sucked completely dry, so how can you still have that satisfied smile on your face?
Argh! I'm head over heels in love with Lord Xiang Yu, so there's no way I would pay any attention to you!
At this point, I'm going to use you up until there's nothing left! So much so, that whenever you see my face, you're going to tremble in fear!
Bond Level 1
This lance was loaned to me by my Xiang Yu to eradicate all summer temptations. I'm not sure what these temptations are, but there's absolutely nothing to fear. It's just a matter of letting the cries of deathly doom echo in the air.
Bond Level 2
Does this whole summer temptation point to guys who hit on girls, or the desire to frolic without a care in the world? If that's the case, then my Xiang Yu was afraid I was going to be afflicted by such things...and that means he cares about me, and...teehee...teeheehee...
Bond Level 3
I don't think you will be affected, Master, but you do odd things at times...so you may get engulfed by summer temptations too.
If you make any funny moves, I won't hesitate to skewer you. So watch out. I don't think you're dumb enough to believe I'd take it easy on you.
Bond Level 4
I don't have any interest in human culture whatsoever, but dancing is different. Birds and even lizards dance, after all.
And that's why...well...
If it's for the sake of my love, I would try my hand at dancing, too.
Bond Level 5
You want to properly see my dance one of these days? You idiot, I've already told you! That dance is only for my love, my Lord Xiang Yu! Keep pushing, and you'll pay with your life!
...Is what I would normally say, but since our relationship is that of a Servant and Master, and the more magical energy you supply me, the more powerful my dance...
So maybe if you to watch from afar when I'm dancing for my Xiang Yu... No, I'm not giving you permission. I'm just saying that I won't be able to stop you if sneak a peek.
But depending on my mood, I might still gouge out your eyes, so you should still be cautious when you take a peek.
And don't you dare give me any critiques or your opinion.
...Cuz at this point, it would be embarrassing.
Conversation 1
Honestly. Even if I'm not as familiar with how humans do and think, I still know that you need to go outside to enjoy summer.
So why are you cooped up inside?
Are you trying to irritate me?
Conversation 2
Just like before, I am and will forever be, Xiang Yu's. I don't go fluttering from one favorite to another like the rest of you.
Conversation 3
For some unknown reason you're my Master, so you're obligated to properly use me. And my current Spirit Origin is designed to enjoy summer to the fullest.
Which only means one thing: per this logic, you are my servant whose sole job is to entertain my summer self.
Conversation 4 (Xiang Yu)
Ah, my Xiang Yu...
Am I enjoying summer the way you desired me to?
Conversation 5 (Prince of Lan Ling)
Looks like you have an outfit befitting summer, too. Well, it's not as good as mine, which even my Xiang Yu praised.
Conversation 6 (Li Shuwen + Clear Lostbelt 3)
Hey! That young military captain...or maybe he's not so young! But that guy!
He keeps chasing after me muttering, "What might the spearmanship of an inhuman being be like?"
Will you tell him I'm nothing of the sort?
Conversation 7 (Beni-Enma)
Enma, why don't you take a rest and let loose yourself too?
...I thought you'd say that. You're such a workaholic.
Fine. I'm going to go over to your place in this outfit. That way the Enma-tei would at least look a little summery.
Conversation 8 (Sessyoin Kiara (Moon Cancer))
Yaobikuni... That getup isn't fooling anyone! You're that thing from the depths of the ocean! And seriously...how many mermaids did you eat!?
They're not like snacking on manjyu, you know!
Likes
What I like? Do I really need to say something so obvious?
Dislikes
If you want to know what I dislike, then you just need to see what's at the end of this lance.
That's why my Xiang Yu entrusted this lance to me.
About the Holy Grail
I have no interest in that suspicious Holy Grail.
Besides, my wish is...well, it's mostly been granted already.
During an Event
Festivals are a must during the summer. In other words, if there's a festival, then it's basically summer. Isn't that what it means?
I'm not letting you miss out on it.
Birthday
I'm just taking a wild guess here, but did you think that I would celebrate your birthday just because I'm in a swimsuit now?
Seriously?
Summon
(Sigh) Surprisingly, I was put in an unbelievable situation this time.
H-hey, what's with that look? Are you trying to say that I caused all this!? I'm not taking any responsibility for something that happened way in the past!
My memory has only so much space, and it prioritizes my Xiang Yu! Anyway, now we can fully enjoy our summer vacation in the mountains. I'm going to go all-out, so you're going to support me in the name of senpai-piety! Got that!?
Temporary
I'll have you know I didn't turn out looking like this because I allowed things to get carried away.
It's only because my Xiang Yu desired me to enjoy summer.
In other words it's a swimsuit made from love.
But do you understand? Anyone who gets in my way means they're indirectly complaining to Lord Xiang Yu. And I won't hesitate to skewer anyone who does that. Keep that in mind.
