Introduction

Is Howzer good?
Howzer's Gauntlets form is his strongest, boosting allies' crit damage while cutting enemy crit resistance, and it plays into the Wind Element's passive tied to bleeding damage. His Nunchaku form instead throws up a barrier and applies Wind Resistance and Crit Resistance debuffs, both of which scale off his Attack stat alongside his own damage.
Either way he wants Attack invested to make his kit actually work. We rank him B tier.
Strengths
- Gauntlets form boosts allies' crit damage while lowering enemy crit resistance
- Nunchaku form's barrier and debuffs both scale with his Attack stat
- Fits the Wind Element's bleed-focused passive well
