Pros & Cons for Kaiju No. 8 (Fortitude 9.8)
Recommended weapons, Uniparts, and squad comps for Kaiju No. 8 will be added soon. Please stay tuned for updates!
Instantly Eliminates Any Small-Sized Kaiju With 50% HP or Less
Kaiju No. 8's Combat Skill forcibly defeats small-sized Kaiju with 50% HP or less. The ability to smoothly defeat Kaiju that perform troublesome actions or are tough and hard to take down is a unique advantage of Kaiju No. 8.
Provoke & DEF Up with Normal Attack
Kaiju No. 8 can provoke enemies and increase its own Defense just by using his Normal Attack. He can protect allies without consuming SP, so he's a flexible frontline option that can open up new tactical formations.
Power-Up Through Stacking Fighting Spiri
Kaiju No. 8 gains a unique buff called Fighting Spirit, which permanently boosts his ATK, damage dealt, and Ultimate damage. These buffs stack up to 5 times. It’s easy to build up since he gains stacks not only from using Normal Attacks and Combat Skills, but also from taking hits.
No Weapons or Uniparts Needed
Kaiju No. 8 cannot equip weapons or Uniparts. While this limits character customization, it’s also a major perk because he can reach his full potential on his own. There's no need to grind and pull for weapons or Uniparts.
Not a Substitute For Dedicated Defenders
While Kaiju No. 8 has Provoke, DEF Up, and HP Recovery at Ascension 1, he’s built for self-enhancement. He can’t apply barriers or provide healing to the whole team, so he may struggle against AoE attacks. If squad-based protection is at the top of your bucket list, then a true Defender might be a better choice.
