Should you pull?

Should you pull?

CONSIDER IT — per KR community assessment, Guillotine is a LOW investment-priority unit since she needs a lot of stacked hits to get strong, but she's still a formidable Arena one-shot pick alongside Scarlet/Mast (Jackal team). Pull if you need a strong Electric-element finisher for PvP — no need to invest deeply right away.

Review & Analysis

Guillotine is an Electric Attacker who trades her own HP for damage — a glass cannon built around one enormous hit. Her Burst, Dragon of the Deep, deals 1237.5% of ATK to the highest-ATK enemy, firing a second hit for another 1237.5% if that target is already below 50% HP. Shroud of Darkness: after 150 normal attacks, Critical Damage +14.46% for 5 seconds; below 70% HP, ATK rises 0.2% per 1% of HP lost. Residual Heat triggers after 100 normal attacks, granting Critical Rate +9.28% for 10 seconds at the cost of 2.01% of her own HP. Currently tier B.

Skill Investment Priority

Burst first — massive single-target nuke, doubling against low-HP targets. Skill 2 next, its ATK-scaling-with-lost-HP passive is a major multiplier below 70% HP. Skill 1 last, for its situational crit buff.

Skill investment roadmap (Skill 1/Skill 2/Burst — per KR community): 1/4/14/7/44/10/4 (endgame) → 7/10/7~10 (Mast team). Why: Skill 2 matters most, then Burst, then Skill 1; overall a low investment-priority unit.

Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths

  • Burst deals 1237.5% ATK to the highest-ATK enemy, and another 1237.5% ATK if that target is below 50% HP — enough to one-shot nearly any single target.
  • Skill 2 self-buffs Crit Dmg after 150 normal hits, and also gains ATK based on % HP lost below 70% HP — the lower her HP, the stronger she gets.
  • Skill 1 self-buffs Crit Rate after 100 normal hits (at the cost of a small self-HP drain).

Weaknesses

  • Both skills need a LOT of stacked normal attacks (100-150 hits) to trigger, not strong at the start of a fight.
  • Skill 1 drains her own HP each activation, and Skill 2 also benefits from low HP — risks putting Guillotine in danger without a healer/taunt.
  • Her MG normal attack is weak per round (5.38% ATK), needing sustained firing time to reach full potential.

Campaign

  • Self-Stacking Firepower Team: Guillotine with another main Attacker and a CDR — just let Guillotine fire continuously to stack Skill 1/2, no special handling needed.

Arena / PvP

  • Jackal One-Shot Team (per rival intel): Scarlet · Blanc · 1 flex Supporter · Centi · Guillotine — Guillotine's Burst deals 1237.5% ATK to the highest-ATK enemy, and another 1237.5% ATK if the target is below 50% HP, enough to finish off even a tanky unit.

Raid & Interception

  • Taunt Team: Noise · Liter · Mast · Scarlet · Guillotine — Noise absorbs damage so Guillotine can safely stack her normal-attack triggers.
