B TierMint Build Guide
Mint is a good DPS character thanks to her strong single-target capabilities, as well as her Skill, which has a low cooldown. This allows her to not only deal a lot of damage, but also lets her use it to parry enemy attacks. Her downside, however, is that she is quickly outclassed by other DPS characters later in the game.
Strengths
- Strong single-target damage
- Low cooldown on Skill allows frequent use and parrying
Weaknesses
- Outclassed by other DPS characters later in the game
