Soshiro (Ax Technique Proficieny) Evaluation
Slash Support Capable of AoE Attacks
Soshiro Hoshina (Ax Technique Proficiency) is a 5-Star Slash Support unit capable of unleashing AoE attacks through both his Combat Skill and Ultimate.
Increases Ally Damage
Soshiro possesses a Passive Skill that boosts the damage dealt by allies, while his Ultimate has a chance to inflict a Damage Taken Increase debuff on enemies, significantly contributing to the team's overall DPS.
Inflicts Additional Damage With Fear
Soshiro has a chance to apply the "Fear" debuff after using his Normal Attack, Follow-Up Skill, or when an ally attacks. Fear deals additional Slash damage after an ally attacks, scaling based on the applier's ATK and the number of stacks. Additionally, the "Tremble" debuff applied by his Combat Skill can further increase the damage enemies take from this effect.
| Tip! | Through his Passive Skill, Soshiro can also boost his CRIT Rate by increasing his Effect Hit Rate. |
Easy to Build Ultimate Gauge
Thanks to his Passive Skill, he can start the battle with +150 Ultimate Gauge and regenerate +20 Ultimate Gauge after using a Normal Attack. Furthermore, his Combat Skill (108) and Normal Attack (72) both have high generation values, making it very easy for him to fill his Ultimate Gauge quickly.
