Is Sunspot good?
Sunspot consumes Solar Charges every time he connects, and the more he's burned through, the harder that hit lands and the more likely he is to Incinerate the opponent, with Flare State stacking to push both the charge cost and his offensive power even higher. While his opponent is Incinerated, a Well-Timed Block gives him a full 100% Perfect Block chance for the rest of that Special Attack or combo, and each Perfect Block purifies an Incinerate to recover Solar Charges and generate Power, which is a strong self-sustaining loop and a big reason he's S.
He's entirely dependent on keeping Incinerates on the opponent to fuel that loop, and Shock is his other clear weak point.

Incinerates
PassiveWhen Striking the Opponent, inflict an Incinerate for each Solar Charge expended, dealing 909.3 energy damage for 5 seconds. Incinerates remove Perfect Block chance and lower the Opponent’s Block Proficiency by 50%. If a Strike fails to apply an Incinerate on the Opponent due to chance, gain 1 Solar Charge and 10% of a bar of Power. If an Incinerate is purified, gain 1 Solar Charge per Incinerate purified and 10% of a Bar of Power each time a Purify occurs. As Sunspot gains Power the potency of any Power gained by Incinerates is reduced by up to 57%.
