Momo (Bakeneko) is a single-target Fighter in Dislyte who bypasses enemy Defense by dealing True Damage. To use her effectively, equip sets that prioritize raw Attack and Speed, pair her with Action Point (AP) manipulators to ensure she takes early turns, and deploy her against high-defense tanks and shielded stall squads.
Kit Mechanics and Targeting Priorities
Unlike standard offensive Espers whose damage drops sharply against heavily armored targets, Momo circumvents the target's Defense stat entirely. Because her True Damage does not require Defense Down debuffs to inflict heavy harm, she operates independently against sustain-heavy lineups.
When deploying Momo in battle, follow these targeting rules:
- Target Defensive Anchors: Direct her burst at primary tanks or high-value sustain buffers whose survivability keeps the opposing team alive.
- Avoid Invincibility Buffs: True Damage bypasses shields and Defense values, but it does not pierce Invincibility. Hold her burst until Invincibility expires.
- Chain Ultimate into Basic Attacks: Use her ultimate to trigger heavy single-target burst, then follow with her basic attack on subsequent turns to secure the knockout before enemy healers can stabilize the target.
Recommended Equipment Sets and Stat Priorities
Because Momo's True Damage scales from her baseline Attack rather than relying on critical hit multipliers, building high Critical Damage yields diminishing returns. Focus on stacking Attack Bonus (ATK%) to maximize damage per hit, along with Speed (SPD) and HP Bonus for survivability and turn cycling.
| Equipment Slot / Set | Primary Stat Focus | Strategic Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 4-Piece: War Set | Attack +30% | Maximizes the baseline scaling stat for all True Damage strikes. |
| 4-Piece: Wind Set | Speed +25% | Ensures rapid turn cycling to eliminate dangerous targets before they act. |
| 2-Piece: Avatara Set | Counterattack Chance | Enables Momo to trigger retaliatory True Damage attacks when struck. |
| Una II & Una IV | Attack Bonus (ATK%) | Provides the core percentage scaling required for high burst damage. |
| Mui II | Speed or Attack Bonus | Sets turn order ahead of enemy threats or aligns with allied AP pushers. |
Team Compositions and Deployment Limits
Momo lacks area-of-effect (AoE) abilities and defensive self-preservation tools. To keep her functional, build squads that cover her pacing and crowd-control vulnerabilities:
- Action Point Manipulation: Pair her with AP boosters such as Tiye or Dhalia to ensure she acts before enemy disruptors can lock her down.
- Immunity and Cleansing: Run supports like Clara or Gabrielle to apply Immunity and cleanse debuffs such as Freeze or Stun, which otherwise halt her single-target damage output.
- Wave Control: Include an AoE Fighter or controller to suppress secondary threats, allowing Momo to focus exclusively on the opposing frontline anchor.
When to Deploy Momo
- Optimal Matchups: Point War stall defenses, high-armor PvP teams, and high-tier PvE boss encounters where boss mechanics heavily mitigate conventional physical damage.
- Poor Matchups: High-speed cleave teams that can burst her down before she takes a turn, and multi-wave farming content like Sonic Rift where single-target damage clears too slowly.

This helped me understand strategy much better.
Nice guide. I am checking the other Dislyte articles next.
I wish I had read this before upgrading the wrong thing.
Good guide for Dislyte players. The strategy part was useful.
