Skia

Lakshana Watch Your Heads! Bureau of Anomaly Control, ETD-4

Skia is a Lakshana frontline DPS who excels in extended fights, leveraging his Fang Thrust mechanic for sustained damage. However, his reliance on keeping Fang Thrust applied and the clunkiness of his rotation make him less consistent than other DPS options.

Build Guide

Strengths

  • Excels in long fights
  • Good synergy with Remora and Stain teams

Weaknesses

  • Fang Thrust is clunky and inconsistent
  • Loses Fang Thrust when swapping out
  • C-tier due to better alternatives
