Is Chaos good?
Chaos deals heavy damage while active, built around two resources: Warrant, which he stacks up first through his Skill to boost his overall damage, and a Crime Gauge that fills from roughly three full Basic Attack combos. Once that gauge is full, holding Basic Attack unleashes a two-hit empowered strike that dumps the whole gauge into a burst of damage, which is his real main source of output.
His Ultimate speeds the whole cycle up, building Warrant and granting Dread Echo, a buff that quickly refills the Crime Gauge so he can reach that empowered attack sooner.
Strengths
- Empowered attack delivers a large burst once the Crime Gauge fills
- Ultimate accelerates both Warrant buildup and Crime Gauge charging
- Also empowers the Remora reaction for a big burst on expiry
Weaknesses
- Damage output depends heavily on managing two separate resources
