Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths

  • Signature provides Fire RES PEN for Chain and Ultimate — strong penetration during Stun windows
  • Core Passive grants 25% CRIT Rate, lowering the CRIT Rate threshold needed from gear
  • Frequent Chain Attack usage enables high Decibel generation and Ultimate access every stun

Weaknesses

  • Requires 80% CRIT Rate (55% from gear + Core Passive) to activate Additional Ability — stat-intensive
  • Hormone Punk demands active buff management — less forgiving than passive sets
  • Very signature-reliant; non-signature options fall significantly behind in CRIT Rate
