Pros & Cons for Kaiju No. 8 (Scorching Variant)
Dual-Element Attacker With Blast Attack
Kaiju No. 8 (Scorching Variant) is a 5-Star Blunt & Fire Dual-Attribute Attacker capable of unleashing Blast Attacks via his Combat Skill and Ultimate.
Boost Damage and Rotation With Resolve
Kaiju No. 8 gains a "Resolve" buff whenever he or an ally triggers an Ultimate. Resolve stacks up to 6 times, boosting his Blunt DMG and Ultimate Multiplier. Activating his Ultimate consumes up to 3 stacks; for each stack consumed, he refunds a portion of his Ultimate Gauge. This makes him an Attacker with rapid Ultimate cycling and self-buffs that maximize damage output.
Multiple Self-Buffs for High Damage
Beyond the Resolve buff, he secures multiple offensive buffs through his Skills and Passives, including boosts to DMG Dealt, Ultimate DMG, ATK, CRIT Rate, and CRIT DMG. Additionally, his Ultimate and Additional Passive effects can increase his SPD.
Restrictions on Weapons and Uniparts
As noted above, while he boasts numerous damage-enhancing effects, Kaiju No. 8 (Scorching Variant) is a unique character who cannot equip Weapons or Uniparts.
Target Ascension Levels A2 and A4
At A2, his Combat Skill Multiplier rises, and consuming 3 Resolve stacks grants increased DEF PEN. At A4, he self-generates Resolve after using his Combat Skill or Follow-Up Skill. If resources allow, prioritize reaching A2, then aim for A4 to significantly upgrade his combat performance.
