Best party partners
Slot Bushi beside a Pal that covers the Water weakness chart at /elements, so a single swap answers whatever resists you. Keep one flyer for traversal and one Handiwork Pal for field crafting alongside it.
How to fight a wild Bushi
Open from behind for the backstab multiplier, keep its Blizzard Spike, Meteor, Ice Shard, Shadow Ball on cooldown by circling, and use the /damage calculator to confirm your weapon clears its 171 DEF before you commit ammo.
PvP notes
Bushi is a niche PvP pick — bring it for the Rain Caller partner skill rather than raw stats. Ranked lobbies punish single-element teams, so never stack two Water Pals.
Boss and raid use
Against tower and raid bosses, Bushi performs best with a same-type damage move plus a shield-breaking partner. Check the raid rotation notes on /guides before committing a full team.
