Should You Pull for Sushang?

Sushang is a Physical DPS that deals damage through Sword Stance and gains buffs when enemies are Weakness Broken. Her Ultimate gives her another turn and Sword Stance stacks, which she can utilize to deal even more DMG.

If you find her kit interesting or need a Physical DPS that can deal massive damage to single targets, then Sushang would be nice to pick up.

Sushang's Best Builds

Physical Main DPS

This build allows Sushang to deal more damage through her Skill, Ultimate, and Sword Stance. Champion of Streetwise Boxing provides her with increased Physical DMG and an ATK buff that stacks, which increases her overall damage.

Firmament Frontline Glamoth increases her ATK and directly increases her DMG which is great for her kit. Just make sure that Sushang has at least 135 SPD for the set requirement, but it shouldn't be a problem since she has a lot of SPD sources.

Trigger Sword Stance to deal Massive DMG

Gain Buffs from Breaking Weaknesses

Sushang gains a lot of benefits when enemies have their Weakness Broken. One of them is that her SPD increases when a Party member breaks an enemy's weakness.

Ultimate can Advance Forward

Sushang's Ultimate will deal a massive amount of DMG and Advance her turn forward by 100%, granting her an extra turn. Her Ultimate is used best when the enemy's turn will go before Sushang's to follow-up with a Skill for increased Sword Stance DMG.
