Best Drive Disc sets for Soukaku
Soukaku's best 4-piece set is Freedom Blues. Moonlight Lullaby and Astral Voice are the alternatives, in that order.
-
Freedom Blues Best in slot
4-piece: When an EX Special Attack hits an enemy, reduce the target's Anomaly Buildup RES to the equipper's Attribute by 20% for 8s. This effect does not stack with others of the same attribute
2-piece: Anomaly Proficiency +30. Drops from Sharp Fang and Blunt Axe.
-
4-piece: When the equipper is a Support character and uses an EX Special Attack or Ultimate, the DMG dealt by all squad members increases by 18% for 25s. Repeated triggers reset the duration. Passive effects of the same name do not stack
2-piece: Energy Regen +20%. Drops from Iron Law and Outlaws.
-
4-piece: Whenever any squad member enters the field using a Quick Assist, all squad members gain 1 stack of Astral, up to a maximum of 3 stacks, and lasting 15s. Repeated triggers reset the duration. Each stack of Astral increases the DMG dealt by the character entering the field using a Quick Assist by 8%. Passive effects of the same name do not stack
2-piece: ATK +10%. Drops from Monster Duet.
2-piece options
For the 2-piece slot the bonus matters, not the set's name. Several sets share the same 2-piece bonus, so Soukaku can take it from whichever one you have spare pieces of:
- Anomaly Mastery +8%: Phaethon's Melody
- ATK +10%: any of Hormone Punk or Astral Voice (they give the same bonus)
- Anomaly Proficiency +30: any of Freedom Blues, Chaos Jazz or Feathered Fate (they give the same bonus)
Soukaku main stats: Disk 4, 5 and 6
Disks 1 to 3 always roll HP, ATK and DEF as their main stat, so the choice is on 4, 5 and 6. A > means "better than"; = means the two are about as good.
| Slot | Main stat, best first |
|---|---|
| Disk 4 | ATK% > CRIT Rate |
| Disk 5 | ATK% > Ice DMG% |
| Disk 6 | Energy Regen = ATK% |
Soukaku substat priority
Roll for ATK% and CRIT Rate first. A disc showing neither of those is rarely worth levelling for Soukaku, whatever else it has.
- ATK% (top priority until ability cap)
- CRIT Rate
- CRIT DMG
- PEN
- Flat ATK

Soukaku W-Engine and skill priority
Bashful Demon A-rank, ATK sub-stat
Great fit for her rotation: she has to land EX Specials to hand out her ATK buffs anyway, and the engine is free and easy to take to R5.

Open Drive Disc TriageQuestions
What is the best Drive Disc set for Soukaku?
Freedom Blues 4-piece, with Moonlight Lullaby or Astral Voice as the alternatives. For the 2-piece, any set with Anomaly Mastery +8%, ATK +10% or Anomaly Proficiency +30 works.
What main stats should Soukaku use on Disk 4, 5 and 6?
Disk 4: ATK% > CRIT Rate. Disk 5: ATK% > Ice DMG%. Disk 6: Energy Regen = ATK%. Disks 1 to 3 have fixed main stats (HP, ATK and DEF), so only their substats matter.
What substats does Soukaku need?
In priority order: ATK%, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, PEN, Flat ATK. The first two are what make a disc worth levelling for Soukaku; the rest are tiebreakers.
Where do I farm Soukaku's Drive Discs?
Freedom Blues drops from the Sharp Fang and Blunt Axe Area Patrol stage, alongside Polar Metal. Each run at Lv.60 costs 60 Battery Charge and splits its S-rank discs between the two sets.
