Inuzaka All-Round Defense
General's War Banner
Provides up to 3 buffs to active characters within the skill's AoE based on the number of Geo characters in the party at the time of casting:
· 1 Geo character: Adds "Standing Firm" - DEF Bonus.
· 2 Geo characters: Adds "Impregnable" - Increased resistance to interruption.
· 3 Geo characters: Adds "Crunch" - Geo DMG Bonus.
Gorou can deploy only 1 General's War Banner on the field at any one time. Characters can only benefit from 1 General's War Banner at a time. When a party member leaves the field, the active buff will last for 2s.
Hold
Adjust the location of the skill.
"Take up this formation and we'll be safe — I guarantee it!" As a general and a leader of troops, the last thing Gorou wants is to see is those who follow him getting hurt.

Juuga: Forward Unto Victory
General's Glory
This field has the following properties:
· Like the General's War Banner created by Inuzaka All-Round Defense, provides buffs to active characters within the skill's AoE based on the number of Geo characters in the party. Also moves together with your active character.
· Generates 1 Crystal Collapse every 1.5s that deals AoE Geo DMG to 1 opponent within the skill's AoE.
· Pulls 1 elemental shard in the skill's AoE to your active character's position every 1.5s (elemental shards are created by Crystallize reactions).
If a General's War Banner created by Gorou currently exists on the field when this ability is used, it will be destroyed. In addition, for the duration of General's Glory, Gorou's Elemental Skill "Inuzaka All-Round Defense" will not create the General's War Banner.
If Gorou falls, the effects of General's Glory will be cleared.
"We have the high ground!" Gorou can ever so slightly change the terrain of the battlefield to help win victory. This technique has seen him through many battles against seemingly superior opposition.

Outfits
Panoply of a Hundred Hunts
DefaultGorou's outfit. This light armor is designed to allow the marksman-general Gorou to handle his bow with ease. The armoring at the shoulder and elbow is also designed with this in mind.
Gorou is the great general of Watatsumi Island's military, and he is deeply loved by his subordinates. During the period of the Vision Hunt Decree, Gorou led the forces of Watatsumi against the Shogun's Army, and successfully held the line against them. The troops call him the "ever-victorious pointy-eared general," a nickname that has also seen broad use among Shogunate warriors. In private, however, Gorou puts on no airs and is a straightforward person, which has led him to be regarded by all as the man with the plan. But even such an exemplary general must have his fair share of troubles...
General Gorou of the Watatsumi Island resistance, ready and waiting! I've long heard of your sterling reputation and I look forward to fighting our way to victory side-by-side! ...Heh, so what do you think? Did that sound inspiring?
