Tsuruko Semba is a 3-star attack-support hybrid character who specializes in AOE damage and healing. Her key ability, Unending Twilight, creates an AOE field (her domain) that heals allies inside it when damage is dealt. Mastering Tsuruko requires managing her gauge, optimizing her builds, and selecting the right teammates. Here is a Tribe Nine Tsuruko Semba Guide for Builds, Cards, & Teams

Personal Gauge: Max 100 stacks. Primary and secondary attacks fill this gauge.
