How to Use Rika in Jujutsu Shenanigans Guide

If you’re playing Jujutsu Shenanigans and wondering how to make the most of Rika, the Cursed Partner, this guide will walk you through how she works, her mechanics, and tips on using her effectively in battle. While Rika currently has some bugs and limitations, her potential in the right hands can be powerful.

Who is Rika in Jujutsu Shenanigans?

Rika is a support-type Cursed Partner in Jujutsu Shenanigans, summoned by pressing the R key. She primarily assists in combat using her Severing Path move. Unlike other partners or characters, Rika doesn’t have multiple abilities and currently lacks an awakening mode, making her a simpler but still useful tool for certain situations.

Rika’s Main Ability: Severing Path

• How to Use: Press R to summon Rika and activate Severing Path. This move delivers a hard-hitting smash attack, and it has both a ground and air variant, which adds flexibility in combos.
• Cooldown: Rika has her own internal cooldown, meaning you’ll need to manage your timing when using her in fights.
• Attack Behavior: When summoned, she may not immediately follow your commands or attack targets properly. Sometimes she runs off or stays idle — this is likely a bug, and you may need to resummon her by pressing R again.

Known Bugs and Workarounds

Currently, Rika’s behavior can be inconsistent. She may:

• Move in the wrong direction
• Fail to engage enemies properly
• Not stay close to your character as expected

Tips to Manage This:

• Reposition Frequently: If she drifts away or becomes unresponsive, press R again to summon her back near you.
• Avoid Cluttered Environments: Her AI struggles in tight areas or when too many entities are nearby.
• Use from Higher Ground: Some players report better responsiveness when fighting with Rika positioned above the enemy.

Pros and Cons of Using Rika

Pros:

• Powerful single-move assist with decent knockback
• Has aerial capabilities, great for mix-ups and pressure
• Can be incorporated into basic combos

Cons:

• Buggy behavior; may not respond properly
• Limited range and only one move available
• No awakening or expanded kit (as of now)

Rika might feel a bit like a work-in-progress right now, but that doesn’t mean she’s unusable. With a bit of patience and the right setup, she can be a reliable part of your team’s strategy. If you’re planning to main a support-style playstyle or want to experiment with combos using a cursed partner, Rika is worth trying out — just don’t expect perfect AI at the moment.
