Is Rin Shinonome good?
Rin Shinonome covers both AoE and single-target damage, ramping up through a Fury state and recovering SP while in her Pride state, on top of a fast Ultimate cooldown that lets her contribute crowd control regularly. Her attack buff depends on keeping her HP at 70 percent or higher, so pairing her with a Defender helps her stay in that range.
Her Ascensions build on this: A1 conditionally boosts Shot damage and action order, A2 adds bonus Shot damage after her Ultimate while in Pride, A4 strengthens her Ultimate during Fury, and A6 increases how often her passive triggers additional damage.
Pairs well with: Additional Damage Team; AoE Squad Setup for Miniature-Sized Kaiju.
Strengths
- Covers both AoE and single-target damage
