Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths

  • Very high sustained Electric DMG in Burst Mode via Drill and Piledriver combos
  • Core Passive triggers bonus Shock DMG every 0.5s — significant damage amplification with proper team synergy
  • Large AoE Chain Attack ideal for clearing grouped enemies
  • C4 provides a 10% CRIT Rate buff for the whole squad

Weaknesses

  • Fully reliant on Burst Mode uptime — Energy-intensive and stops dealing Electric DMG when Burst ends
  • Requires Shocked enemies and Attribute/Faction synergy for Core Passive additional ability
  • Outclassed by higher-tier Electric DPS options (Harumasa, Yi Xuan) at equivalent investment
  • Outside Burst Mode, personal damage is low compared to other A-rank attackers
