**Short Tips:**

* R4 talents, add tap (mini-game) by tapping in right time you can upgrade skills to much better effectiveness for that spell cast. More info in skills spreadsheet or this reddit post.
* Her autoattack can target stealthed enemies
* At R6, have her near the blessed hero due to high/fast kill count which decreases Shamiko's CD immensely. Additionally near Koi when he does splash damage has same effect.
* Her Lovely Lullaby also affects Bosses

* A guide for the timing of the tapping is available in this reddit post. In text form:
	+ Haste has 3 tap opportunities. They are not in sync with the guitar strums and they are separated from each other by the same length in time.
	+ Fear has 2 tap opportunities. They are also not in sync. The 2nd comes quickly after the first.
	+ Slow has 5 tap opportunities. They are also not in sync. The first to come fairly slowly, pause, then the next three go a little faster.
	+ Protect has 2 opportunities, but you have to tap 3 times for it to work. They are also not in sync. You must double tap when it says the first tap, and then and only then will the 2nd tap opportunity come (only one tap).
