Mitsuhide Build Guide

Master Pokémon Conquest with our Mitsuhide build guide. Optimize his Aurora Sphere and Speed stats for peak battlefield performance.

Mitsuhide is a unique warrior in Pokémon Conquest, characterized by his ability, Strategic Mind. This ability grants his Pokémon a +10% boost to their Special Attack and Special Defense when he is adjacent to at least two allied units. This encourages a more clustered, team-oriented playstyle and makes Mitsuhide an excellent choice for players who enjoy coordinating their forces and setting up synergistic plays. His strength lies in amplifying the power of special attackers and bolstering the resilience of his team, making him a cornerstone for many successful strategies, particularly in areas like the dense forests of Greenleaf.

For a Special Attack-focused build, Mitsuhide is unparalleled. Pair him with Pokémon that have high Special Attack stats and access to powerful special moves. A prime example is Alakazam, whose naturally high Special Attack is further amplified by Strategic Mind. The synergy here is potent: Mitsuhide stays close to Alakazam and other allies, boosting Alakazam's Psychic or Focus Blast damage significantly. This allows for rapid elimination of enemy Pokémon, even those with high Special Defense. Consider items like the Choice Specs to further boost Alakazam's Special Attack, or the Expert Belt to increase the damage of super-effective moves. A common pitfall is positioning Mitsuhide too far from his allies, thus negating the benefit of Strategic Mind. Careful unit placement is paramount for this build.

When aiming for a more defensive or supportive role, Mitsuhide's ability to boost Special Defense is invaluable. He can be paired with Pokémon that have high HP and good Special Defense, or those that rely on status moves that benefit from not being interrupted. For instance, pairing Mitsuhide with Chansey, which has an incredibly high HP pool and decent Special Defense, allows for a highly resilient core. Mitsuhide's Strategic Mind will boost Chansey's Special Defense, making it incredibly difficult to take down with special attacks. This allows Chansey to focus on healing allies with moves like Soft-Boiled or inflicting status conditions. Items like the Eviolite on Chansey, combined with Mitsuhide's boost, create an almost impenetrable special wall. The Warrior's Charm can also be used to bolster the overall stats of his Pokémon.

Mitsuhide's effectiveness is also tied to his Link with his Pokémon. A high Link ensures access to their strongest special moves and abilities. For example, a Link of 100% with Alakazam will unlock its most devastating special attacks, making the most of the Strategic Mind boost. When facing tough opponents in regions like the volcanic plains of Crimson Peak, coordinating Mitsuhide's position to maintain the adjacency bonus is crucial. This requires careful planning of movement and understanding of enemy attack patterns to ensure Mitsuhide and his key allies remain grouped and protected. The ability to quickly reposition allied units to maintain the bonus is a key skill for any Mitsuhide player.
