Spotlight on Immortal : Toyotomi

Hey everyone, I'm PO PandaMoratia. Did you know that the Immortal Toyotomi Hideyoshi came from a peasant family and rose to the highest title in Japan? In this article, we'll review the immortal's skills and exclusive artifact, and explore potential immortal and skill pairings. Lastly, I'll share my insights on his role in the current meta.

History : 

Toyotomi Hideyoshi, also known as Kinoshita Tōkichirō and Hashiba Hideyoshi, was a Japanese samurai and daimyō (feudal lord) during the late Sengoku and Azuchi-Momoyama periods. He is considered the second "Great Unifier" of Japan. Despite coming from a peasant background, his power allowed him to attain the rank and title of Kampaku (Imperial Regent) and Daijō-daijin (Chancellor of the Realm), the highest positions in the nobility class. He was the first non-noble-born person in history to become a Kampaku. Subsequently, he passed the position and title of Kampaku to his nephew, Toyotomi Hidetsugu, and remained in power as Taikō, the title of a retired Kampaku, until his death. While it is believed that he was unable to attain the title of shogun due to his peasant origin, this is not certain.

Hideyoshi started as a retainer of the prominent lord Oda Nobunaga and rose to become one of the most powerful figures in Japanese history. He succeeded Nobunaga after the Honnō-ji Incident in 1582 and continued Nobunaga's campaign to unite Japan, effectively ending the Sengoku period. By the mid-1580s, he became the de facto leader of Japan and acquired the prestigious positions of daijō-daijin and kampaku. In 1592, Hideyoshi launched the Japanese invasions of Korea, initially successful, but eventually leading to a military stalemate that damaged his prestige before his death in 1598.

After his death, his young son and successor Toyotomi Hideyori was displaced by Tokugawa Ieyasu at the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600, leading to the establishment of the Tokugawa Shogunate. Hideyoshi's rule defined much of the Azuchi–Momoyama period in Japan, and his legacy includes influential structures such as Osaka Castle, the Tokugawa class system, and the construction and restoration of many temples, some of which still stand in Kyoto.

Concept : 

Toyotomi is a Wind Defense Spearman Immortal. His ability creates a General’s Blessing to all our units for 9 seconds, increase their dodge value by 15%, and each time they dodge an enemy attack, increase their damage by 15% and reduce damage they receive by 15% for 3 seconds.

Exclusive Artifact : 

I believe that this artifact is of high value. The Exclusive Artifact increases the duration of the damage deal increase and damage receive decreases buff up to 4 seconds. As for the stats, I would prioritize obtaining a main attribute of Physical Defense % and aim for "Growth" as a special attribute.

Skills : 

Toyotomi is a Defense Immortal who relies on dodge mechanics and has a very particular skill set that works on him to synergize with this natural ability.

Phantom Agility: To be used on the main or secondary carry of Toyotomi’s march to increase its damage.

Lost Dimension: Reduce the opponent hit rate and therefore increase your chance to dodge.

Wind Protection: Add a shield to the dodge trigger effect and further increase the chance to dodge.

Misleading: Further increase your chance to dodge.

Best friends : 

Toyotomi works best when paired with a frontliner Physical Damage dealer such as Saladin or Hannibal to maximize the dodge mechanic. Alternatively, you can place him alongside Manco in a holy march for early game synergy, although some players may not prefer this strategy. Ideally, you should have a Support backliner equipped with a Dodge% artifact to increase the chance of triggering all your dodge effects that you will have stacked up in your march.

Conclusion : 

Wind marches are currently not preferred in the game for a few reasons. The dodge mechanics are not very effective due to the numerous ways to improve accuracy, and building the dragon has become quite challenging. In certain game modes such as Open Arena and IB/IBL, Fire march tends to dominate, which also pushes Wind out of the meta in those modes. Due to these reasons, Toyotomi's gamestyle is not really viable at the moment, and players have to wait for a patch to potentially make it more viable.
