At a Glance
Strengths & Weaknesses
Hook
- “Boom! Here Comes the Fire!” dumps a huge single-target Fire multiplier into one elite—boss and Apocalyptic Shadow checks are where this Ultimate earns its trace levels.
- Skill “Hey! Remember Hook?” rolls a base-chance debuff that wants Effect Hit Rate—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
- Talent “Ha! Oil to the Flames!” refunds a meaningful chunk of Energy inside the Skill—good play literally shortens Ult cooldown.
- If Energy or Skill Points starve “Boom! Here Comes the Fire!”, Hook spends turns on Basics and the kit’s advertised multipliers never show up on the combat log.
- As a 4★ Destruction unit, Hook is easy to gear for early/mid game but usually loses the niche race to a modern limited option once that banner is built.
- Spamming “Hey! Remember Hook?” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Hook is often the SP sink.
Misha
- “G—Gonna Be Late!” dumps a huge single-target Ice multiplier into one elite—boss and Apocalyptic Shadow checks are where this Ultimate earns its trace levels.
- “R—Room Service!” Blast-hits the main target plus adjacent enemies, so adjacent elites still take meaningful chip without waiting for Ultimate.
- Talent “Horological Escapement” refunds a meaningful chunk of Energy inside the Skill—good play literally shortens Ult cooldown.
- If Energy or Skill Points starve “G—Gonna Be Late!”, Misha spends turns on Basics and the kit’s advertised multipliers never show up on the combat log.
