Discussion: At a first look, Menreiki’s stats are kind of all over the place but still lean towards offensive. With the ability to increase move bar and a faster speed than Kamaitachi, she is a very good support unit as well. Soultaker lets Menreiki move twice in a row. With this soul, she is increasingly similar to Kamaitachi. If you are decided to use Soultaker, orb consumption would be a concern. Jizo Statue is probably the most popular choice for an offensive Menreiki. With buffs from her masks, Menreiki would be able to take quite a bit of damage with Jizo Statue even if her Soul attributes are all offensive. Fortune Cat is a universal Soul choice for fast Shikigamis. The idea is the more often they move the more orbs they generate. Mirror Lady can deter enemies from focusing their attacks on Menreiki. This Shikigami does not have high offensive stats and can be a big threat to the enemies if left unchecked. She’ll need Soul and team support to survive longer in a fight. Mixed Set is most popular for players to use her as a top speed puller and a high damage attacker. It is not always possible to achieve fast speed or high Crit Dmg with a Soul set and quite often, Mixed Set work extremely well even without Soul effects. There is really two uses for Menreiki: To increase move bar for she is faster than Kamaitachi and to deal indirect damage that negates Soul effects. As a puller, nothing else matters except for SPD so she’ll do well with a mixed set maximizing SPD. To be an attacker, Jizo Statue would be a good choice. Conventional offensive Souls are not recommended her since indirect damage does not take Soul effect into account. With Jizo Statue, she can survive longer in the fight. |

Sample Team |
Menreiki, Kamaitachi, Ame Onna, Hannya, Hououga, with Yao Bikuni
Menreiki, Hana, Ame Onna, Kiyohime, Kaguya, with Seimei
As a faster Shikigami, Menreiki could either replace Kamaitachi or work together depending on if you are double pulling or single pulling. To be an attacker in a slower team, I would recommend having a Shikigami with Sanmisen in the team to fend off status effects.

Verdict |
The biggest mistake for Menreiki is that she comes out too late. Her indirect damage was a novelty when she was released in CN server. Now she is heavily countered by Hakosozu/Miketsu and outclassed by others as an indirect damage DPS. As a puller, she is not as useful as Kamaitachi. Sure, she is faster than Kamaitachi but still cannot outrun Hakosozu or Enma. Fortunately, Globabl is still relatively new and not everybody got the right Shikigamis and leveled them, so Menreiki could still make an impact in the next little while.
To use her, one has to be familiar with her mechanics, especially in which enemy would get the Black Mask. This way Menreiki could target the enemy core units. To people who don’t understand her mechanics, she would be a formidable enemy. To simply put, Menreiki’s action sequence is as follows:
Farming (1.0/5.0) While she can do damage, Menreiki’s attacks are too low and take too long to meaningfully carry fodders.
Duel/Raid (3.5/5.0) Menreiki is not really one of those units that are widely used but can be used as the fifth draw to surprise enemies if none of her counters came out in the first four draws, or as a lure to draw out the Shikigamis you want the enemy to use
Boss Battles (3.0/5.0) I think she’s worth trying out in Boss fights being a puller/DPS hybrid.
Soul (1.5/5.0) Not much use here for Soul runs as she cannot replace Yamausagi. In addition, her auto may not be optimized for pulling.
Menreiki is a unique Shikigami with a unique mechanism. I would not suggest prioritizing resources on her though. She’ll need to max her special attack to act as a potent puller. To use in Duel, I would say her passive should be maxed as well. To me, this costs too much resource when there are other Shikigamis that are more worthwhile to level up. Though if you really like her design or if you have an abundant resource, she’ll be a fun Shikigami to use, especially when others are still unfamiliar with what she can do. |
