Shamash

Shamash

4 Stars light Light Destruction Destruction A Tier

Given out for free alongside Zero, Shamash is a light DPS who starts off as a “tank” type character (complete with a counter) until his bar fills and he activates his “DPS” form. While in DPS form he attacks significantly faster and can even pull in groups of enemies together before unleashing one of the highest damaging attacks in the game. He’s also immune to being displaced while in his DPS form, and his damage output in this form is made even stronger thanks to the light anomaly effect.

How The Tier Is Calculated

Scores are based on testing from P0 to P6, talent and skill multiplier checks, in-depth combat testing, and team value. Team score uses a 1 to 5 scale: 5 is irreplaceable, 4 is great in most content, 3 is a good substitute, 2 is a last resort, and 1 should generally not be used.

Role score weights depend on the character's role, then challenge-context scores are factored in through Brute Force, Leaderboard, and Multiverse performance.

Final score bands: EX 4.5-5, S+ 4.1-4.49, S 3.6-4.09, A 3.1-3.59, B 2.6-3.09, C 1-2.59. Challenge weights: Brute Force 20%, Leaderboard 40%, Multiverse 40%.

Role Weights

Destruction: Damage Output 50%, Utility 25%, Handling 25%.

Breaker: Damage Output 25%, Utility 50%, Handling 25%.

Assist: Damage Output 34%, Utility 33%, Handling 33%.
