[Blue Archive] Himari's been quiet lately, is she in danger?! Dropped from the must-have character list?
Analyzes the reasons for Himari's decreased utility in Blue Archive recently and her future prospects. Compares her with competing characters, discusses skill duration issues, and changes in her position in the current priority gacha.
Dio's EX skill provides an attack buff in addition to the copy function, further narrowing Himari's position.
She can still be used in Joint Firing Drills or Lunatic difficulty, but her usage is low in general situations.
She is likely to be relegated to a 'Joint Firing Drill character' that is difficult to use unless it is 2 or 3 clears or more in the future.
Using Himari can lead to limiting combinations with other powerful characters.
It may be difficult to use Himari unless it is in a specific environment.
Himari's utility is very low compared to her past glory.
There is a need to drastically revise the current gacha priority list.
It is difficult to make a hasty assessment due to the connection with unreleased bosses.

1. 📉 Recent Changes in Himari's Position: Lack of Optimized Use
- ✅ Himari has rarely been the optimal choice in the past year
- ⚠️ Despite the release of the previous swimsuit version, she has not been used as much as expected
| Category | Description |
|---|---|
| Lack of Optimal Use | There have been few situations in the past year where Himari was needed |
| Swimsuit Version | Underperforming due to lack of attack buff and need for cost recovery |

2. ⚔️ Arrival of Competing Characters: Swimsuit Natsu, Kisaki, and Dio
- ✅ Other characters such as Swimsuit Natsu and Kisaki show better efficiency in attack buffs and cost recovery
- ⚠️ Dio, in particular, has an attack buff attached to her EX skill, giving her an advantage over Himari
| Character | Features |
|---|---|
| Swimsuit Natsu | Excellent attack buff efficiency |
| Kisaki | Outstanding cost recovery ability |
| Dio | Attack buff on EX skill, lasts 20 seconds |
Dio's EX skill provides an attack buff in addition to the copy function, further narrowing Himari's position.

3. 🤔 Himari's Usage Conditions: Limited Situations and the Torment 1 Clear Era
- ✅ Himari is needed only under specific conditions where it is difficult to use both Harecan and Dio
- ⚠️ Himari's place is further reduced as 1 clear becomes common in Torment difficulty
She can still be used in Joint Firing Drills or Lunatic difficulty, but her usage is low in general situations.
02:11 - 03:00
4. 📉 Changes in Priority Gacha Position: From Tier 1 to Tier 3?
- ✅ Himari is likely to drop from Tier 1 to Tier 3 in the priority gacha
- ⚠️ Her utility has become so low that it is difficult to feel the need to pull her from the gacha
She is likely to be relegated to a 'Joint Firing Drill character' that is difficult to use unless it is 2 or 3 clears or more in the future.
03:01 - 04:33
5. ⏱️ Skill Duration Issues and Cost Recovery Competition
- ✅ Himari's EX skill duration (13 seconds, about 16 seconds based on Unique 2) is short, making her less competitive
- ⚠️ There are many characters with long durations such as Swimsuit Saki (26 seconds, 30 seconds at Unique 2) and Hareki (25 seconds)
- ⚠️ It is difficult to gain an advantage over Kisaki in cost recovery
Using Himari can lead to limiting combinations with other powerful characters.
04:34 - 05:35
6. 🤝 Limitations of Himari's Combination: Combination with Swimsuit Sena
- ✅ There is also a combination of using Himari and Swimsuit Sena together, but the duration issue can hold it back
- ⚠️ While Swimsuit Sena and Swimsuit Natsu have long durations, Himari's duration is short, reducing efficiency
It may be difficult to use Himari unless it is in a specific environment.
05:36 - 06:20
7. 💔 Past Glory and Current Crisis: The Fall of the Ironclad Combination
- ✅ Akari and Himari used to be an ironclad combination, but Himari's position has been greatly reduced
- ⚠️ If additional cost characters appear, Himari's place may become even more precarious
Himari's utility is very low compared to her past glory.
06:21 - 07:47
8. 🤔 Priority Gacha Reassessment: Himari, Kokona, Swimsuit Ui
- ✅ Himari is likely to be downgraded to Tier 3 in the priority gacha, and Swimsuit Ui may also drop to Tier 4
- ⚠️ Hareki is still used a lot, but Kokona is also being considered for downgrade
- ⚠️ Swimsuit Ui is scheduled for a rerun in October or November, but her utility is low
There is a need to drastically revise the current gacha priority list.
07:48 - 09:13
9. ⏳ Connection with Unreleased Bosses: Dress Koharu and Kokona
- ✅ Dress Koharu and Kokona still have room to be used in the Hieronymus Explosion attribute boss
- ⚠️ If they are not used in the next Hieronymus boss, their evaluation may drop significantly
It is difficult to make a hasty assessment due to the connection with unreleased bosses.

10. 🙏 Hope for a New Himari's Appearance
Because I really like the Himari character itself, I hope that a new version of Himari will be released, and I hope that she can play an active role again as a must-have character.
