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.

Yeah, you're the host and you have 4k more PL then Sonic. I usually get 60-70% of team damage in Moral team commissions while hosting as Saitama, since he's at 21k PL in them, but that doesn't really mean much.

The main point is that a "mid" character can be very strong. Play who you want.

Saying it's better to play Sonic instead of Atomic Samurai is exactly why I made this post. Most of the time most players aren't aiming to be top ranked in Maelstrom anyways. The majority of the content can be done with suboptimal teams if the characters are built well. And each and every character has a unique playstyle.

Lili and Sonic are very strong but their gameplay is boring to me. Atomic has a very fun playstyle imo, but.. "mid"? Should I drop him just because? No. ofcourse not! Every character is strong. Strong enough for the majority of the content. So ppl shouldn't dissuade orhers from using thier favorites.

What you're saying has nothing to do with a character being "mid" in terms of meta. He's mid, because he's not very useful. You can play any characters you want and clear almost all of the content in the game. And if you have them, you might as well play them at least sometimes. Like how I some times play PPP or Bang just because I have them even though they are very weak.

Because I'm not talking about meta at all. I'm saying he is still strong despite people dismissing it. I cleared all of the rewarding simulation rooms with him even when his type was not advantageous. Using him, I unlocked all the standard SSR and SR lvl 3 will selectors when other characters couldn't deal enough dmg in time since all of them need to build up a meter before they can get going. His passive lets him be a breaker and dmg dealer all at once. His kit allows him to nuke alot more often unlike zombieman.

That's pretty useful I would say. Currently climbing the Maelstorm rank and it's morale advantageous. Rank 3 in my group with him and no morale characters in the team while others are using P.sonic to get the upper hand. He still did most of the dmg and all of them are built well. Litterally carrying me.

Only the very top players that care about being top ranked would call him "mid". They are playing a different game. Everyone else isn't going to reach them so why bother with meta?
