Soulfist Strengths & Weaknesses
Soulfist Strengths
Good Crowd Control
Soulfists has good crowd control because of the large AOE of their skills. This can be used as an advantage when dealing with multiple enemies at once.
High Mobility
Most of the Soulfist's skills have a lot of movement which helps them move around during the fight and they can be used to close in on enemies that are difficult to catch.
Soulfist Weaknesses
Can Be Difficult To Land Skills
Most of the skills you have on your kit are skill shot abilities. It can be difficult to land these skills against fast moving opponents especially in PVP.
Unreliable Burst Damage
Soulfists relies on skill combos and managing their Ki meter to get high DPS. Abilities with high burst damage on Soulfists are not reliable since they are easy to miss.
