Hugo Vlad Skill Priority
Hugo's talents priority should be focused on his Core Skill, Special Attack, and Chain Attack for optimal damage. His Basic Attack and Assist can be upgraded later to ensure he doesn't fall short.
| Skill | Priority | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
 core skill | Upgrade Hugo's Core Skill first to increase the ATK buff and the Totalize's Skill DMG multiplier. | |
 special attack | Hugo's Skill is the top priority of upgrades since you will use this a lot when the enemy is stunned. | |
 chain attack | Hugo's Ultimate is useful if his EX Special Attack is unavailable. | |
 basic attack | Upgrade Hugo's Basic Attack after his Special Attack and Chain Attack since he will be on-field only to use the latter skills. | |
 assist | You can save Hugo's Assist for last since it contributes the least amount of damage. | |
 dodge | You can skip upgrading Hugo's Dodge since he will only be used when the enemy is already stunned. |
