Is Ryuji Sakamoto good?
Ryuji Sakamoto (Skull) is a single-target Physical
Assassin who's easy to build and play: his Skill 3 charges for a turn, then lands a huge hit that's a guaranteed crit while he's under 75% HP, so he effectively acts every other turn.
He wants to stay at low HP, so HP healers work against him while shielders suit him, and Leo's HP-to-shield conversion is the classic pairing. Keeping him low is risky.
Pairs well with:
Leo Kamiyama.
Strengths
- Very high damage
- Guaranteed crit on his Skill 3
- Easy to play
Weaknesses
- Deals damage once every two turns
- Risky low-HP playstyle
- Clashes with healers
