Discussion:

Although her stats are not the most impressive amongst SSRs, Kikyo’s special attack alone will make her the deadliest single target DPS in the game. For this reason, her best Soul would be Shadow.

With Shadow, Kikyo has the ability to one-shot an enemy when her skill is fully functional. Her special attack has a very high direct damage multiplier that puts her in the league with the best attackers in the game. She’ll have no problem finishing off enemy DPS very quickly. Even with tanky units, she’ll be able to take them out in two turns. Claw is the same concept but I consider Shadow a bit superior.

Soultaker is another choice that would let her act twice in a turn. This would condense her actions and make sure she finishes a key enemy in one turn. The downside is she would consume quite a lot of orbs in that one turn.

Soul stats should be ATK oriented. In order to draw the highest damage out of Kikyo, ATK/ATK/Crit Dmg should be your best bet. The trick is what to do with the secondary stats. First of all, 100% Crit % is essential for a Crit Dmg build. In addition, you would want to get her SPD high enough so that she can take advantage of Kagura’s Wind. She’ll need 14 points of SPD to get to 129. In addition, she’ll need some Effect HIT for her skill. As we can see, it is quite difficult to get good enough Soul for her. I would say first get enough damage for her, then make sure she is fast enough, and lastly get her as much Effect HIT as you can. Alternatively, by sacrificing some damage, you could attain SPD and Effect HIT easier but Kikyo may not be able to finish off tanky units while having no trouble with DPS and controls. This is for a speedy team. For the slower team, she’ll need some Effect RES and possibly some HP to help to survive the first wave of enemy controls/attacks. In these mid/slow type builds, teammates are more important.
