Recommended Stat Values I want to congratulate you for the content of this page, it has helped me a lot and I am grateful for its content. I would like to give as a suggestion the implementation of the recommended statistics for each character, since it is difficult to know the percentages in each statistic are well balanced, for example With the path tracer I have 3000 defense but I don't know if it is correct or if it has too much defense and is missing another statistic.

Some Characters no matter what can't do MoC that's why tier list exists but Fire Trailblazer is actually good in some Teams like Acheron's Team with Trend of universal market the Fire Trailblazer shines
