| Evolution Ability | Gain [Vigilant Owl]: Change state between Play or Alert at the beginning of the turn when a unit on the battlefield. Kaoru is usually at Play but would change into Alert if 2 or more allies are inflicted with controlling effects. Alert increases her SPD by 10 and Effect RES by 40%. | |||
Soul |
||||
| Example: Fortune Cat/Azure Basan/Tree Nymph/etc x4 + Effect RES or HP x2
Position 2/4/6: SPD/Effect RES/HP Discussion: Kaoru is a good support unit, particularly in the slower teams so her souls mainly aim for longer battles. Fortune Cat and Tree Nymph are both very good soul choice for her in a long fight where there are more chances to proc. Tree Nymph is a particularly popular choice. Other supporting souls such as Sea Sprite, Soul Edge, etc. works too. Just give her whatever soul that you are missing in a team. SPD is important to her so should be a given at slot 2. This is before she needs to be fast enough to give orb and dispel in time. She also needs quite a bit of Effect RES so she can resist before dispelling. The remaining stats should be HP to increase survivability. |

Sample Team |
||||
| Hakuzosu, SP Hannya, Kujira, Kaoru, Shiranui, with Kagura
This is a defensive team with Shiranui. With Hakuzosu protecting against strong attackers. Kaoru can dispel controlling effects while providing orbs. SP Hannya and Kujira would act as point of counter attack. Kaoru synergize with Shiranui as well since her normal attack push back target move bar by 15%, so can push a total of 30% in one go. Of course, the teams weakness would be some cc that cannot be dispelled. Such as Morph from Komatsu. This is where high RES and Tree Nymph comes into effect. |
Shikigami Comparison |
||||
| Kaoru is kind of unique in a way that she has a bit of everything. She can protect allies, push back enemy, give orb, and dispell. There isn’t really a direct comparison but her focus in the team is often a dispeller. In that sense, she needs to challenge the likes of Juzu or Ungaikyo for a place in the team. |

To coming. The Kujira video in my channel should have a few battle with Kaoru. | |||
Verdict |
||||
| Kaoru was quite popular in PvP before SP Shuten released. That was when the main CC Shikigami was Yumeikui.
With high enough Effect RES and luck, Kaoru can fend off Yumekui at a certain degress. Nowadays she is less seen as the meta changes and she loses out to other Shikigamis. i think if you use orb consuming teams such as Otakemaru, Kaoru is still a solid support. In PvE, she is used in Soul:Moan for a fast run but the requirement for that team is high. In terms of resources, I would recommend feeding black daruma since she is an SR so is relatively easy to get. Also she is not as popular as before. |
