Review & Analysis

Jackal is an SSR Iron Defender who tanks damage on behalf of her team. Skill 2, Jumpin' Jackal Flash, triggers on battle entry, making herself and the 2 highest-ATK allies share incoming damage for a full 120 seconds while gaining DEF — her core protective mechanic for shielding the team's main damage dealers. Burst skill Crazy Jackal boosts the whole team's Burst Skill damage to a single enemy and raises DEF, amplifying firepower during Full Burst. Skill 1, Happy Jackal, procs after she's been hit 10 times, increasing damage taken and lowering ATK on a target enemy. Jackal suits teams that need a reliable damage-sharing tank.
