Evolution Ability Enhance [Baneful Flower]: At the end of his turn, consume all Baneful Flower on the enemies, inflicting Indirect Damage equal to 90% of his DEF for each layer consumed. Upon, Evolving, deal extra damage if the enemy has lower DEF than Jinmenju. For every % of DEF difference, Jinmenju inflict 1% more damage to a max of 100%. Indirect Damage does not trigger Soul effect, cannot be shared, and guaranteed to land critical hits when enemy DEF is 0.

Soul

Example: Fortune Cat/Azure Basan/etc. x4 + DEF or Crit x2

Position 2/4/6: SPD or DEF/DEF/DEF or Crit

Discussion:

Same as other Indirect Damage Shikigamis, offensive and control Souls does not benefit Jinmenju so we’ll use functional Souls.

Tree Nymph is probably the most popular since it increases her DEF. In addition, this soul is vital in the slower teams, which fits Jinmenju.

In terms of attribute, I think SPD is important otherwise he may be too slow to get a turn. Though, if secondary SPD is enough, slot 2 can save for DEF. Other than that, Jinmenju needs as much DEF as possible and some RES.

Sample Team

Hakuzosu, Hana, Jinmeju, Miketsu, Hiyoribo, with Yao Bikuni

With two healers and Hakuzosu, this team should be enough to keep Jinmenju alive until he has enough damage. Miketsu can act as a disturbance to fast teams.

Shikigami Comparison

Higanbana – Jinmenju is perhaps the most similar to Higanbana in that they both inflict damage at the enemy’s turn. Higanbana attack at the beginning of the turn and her damage is not indirect so she can use more variety of souls. The downside is that she can trigger Tree Nymph and be sealed. Jinmenju is free from passive seals but can be dispelled and lower damage. Overall Higanbana is much better than Jinmenju.

Sample Gameplay

Verdict

Jinmenju is not used often. The fact that he relies on the dispellable Baneful Flower to deal damage is very limiting. If the opponent does not bring a dispeller, then Jinmenju can act as a surprise factor.

He can only be obtained from Shrine so it would take quite a bit of resources to build. I would say to wait for his skills to upgrade before investing in him.
