Fighting Style
Palm Misaki is a another tricky but basic character and has long reach and a good crowd clearer with his Yo-yos. His C4, C5 and C6 can easily clear the whole crowd or at least knock them down. Skills Attacks are helpful for clear the whole crowd with multiple hits.

On the downsides, Palm lacks attack power, as he has one of the lowest attack stats within all characters in the game, even max level if he ungeared; as when he fights against the strong enemy officers such as bosses, it takes notably longer to defeat them. This weak attack power can be countered with Palm's weapons equipped with high attack power (or have multiple offensive attributes).

As they played any stages on higher difficulty like Hard or Chaos (due to the enemies have extreme high HP rate), the efficient way to play Palm Misaki is to increasing his physical attack power via weapon attributes, accessories with attack speed increase. As such, damage enhancing elements like Slash, and Landscape are recommended to maximize damage output to counter his lowest attack stats like mentioned above. Ability is used to increase damage for his skills and optionally Air can be used to increase damage usage of his Jumping Attacks/Air Combo and/or Aerial Charge Combos, and Aggression and Certain-kill are used for maximizing his damage output of his Musou and Burst Attacks. Cyclone is optional to inflict chip damage on guarded enemies.

Unlock requirements
