Is Air Shakur good?

Air Shakur is a passable End Closer for Medium, held back next to the best options. Her two gold velocity skills are solid, but she has no gold recovery skill, so Medium and Long builds are harder, and her growth goes entirely into Wit, which helps skills trigger but slows Speed, Stamina and Power.

She needs a strong support deck to reach a good statline, and one of her passives is a negative.

Strengths

  • Two good gold velocity skills
  • Wit growth helps skills activate reliably

Weaknesses

  • No gold recovery skill
  • Growth makes Speed, Stamina and Power harder to raise
  • Has a negative passive skill
  • Needs a strong deck
