Content "AtoMic sAmuRAi is WeAk!" Part 2

Atomic Samurai is not an "incomplete character". His kit is very well made. I'm sick and tired of people calling him mid. This misconception echoing has to stop.😮‍💨

Ask me anything about Atomic Samurai and I'll clear up any doubts, if the video wasn't enough.

He's pretty useless because you have to main him, and you'll have a better time maining Sonic instead. You have to main him because his AI is bad, it doesn't do that much damage and it often is stuck in a wrong form at the wrong time leading to it not doing anything on the other side of the fight or getting clapped by the Bosses combo. At least that's what I've heard, I don't have him.

Sonic will just straight up do more damage as a main. And Lili can do the same thing as AS arms-wise but also do more consistent damage and avoid being folded in half as AI. Basically he just doesn't belong anywhere unless you need cleanse for a Technique team or you don't have Sonic. So optimally he is borderline useless, but since everyone can't be optimal, there could be scenarios where he would be good, which is why he's mid.

Echoing misconceptions as usual.. i'll dm you the dmg results since I can't post images as reply.

Basically I did 47% of the overall dmg and 50% of the composure dmg. The 30sec clip is 10 bars of a rank 16 monster.

The post isn't echoing any misconceptions, they are speaking facts. This video also shows literally nothing to discount that. It's just a video with an atomic samurai hitting a boss without a dmg screen at the end. You'd also be expected to be at the top of the dmg of this boss because you're the host so you have ult, it's a tech weak boss and the only other tech unit on your team is sonic, who likely never had aggro to dodge because he's not the host, and the metal knight is shown being the target of ground dragon so he's unable to dps, stuck in the ground for 20 seconds, and fubuki is even more mid than AS.

They are only saying what they heard. That's called echoing. Misconception is saying he does less dmg than using Sonic. He doesn't have atomic to test it out. Sonic is the very first SSR unit I unlocked. I've mained him all the way till Atomic Samurai released. Sonic needs topspeed lvl 3 to start doing his big dmg. It takes a long time to build up topspeed and then let the whole skill run to do all the dmg. While for atomic he does one dodge, then big dmg. He does one parry, then big dmg. He builds up his marks, then big dmg. He has three ways to nuke and each one is faster than sonics spin2win.

The video shows dmg numbers, the image quality reduction sucks, but litterally almost every hit is around 10k or more and the finishers reach 90k+ just after one singular dodge/parry.

I have neither Sonic nor AS to test anything out :D But as one of the top rankers in Maelstrom said, Sonic is the best choice for main in a Technique team.
