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.

25 Sushang enjoyer4 months

*edit: I messed up March's follow-ups. She only gets one. Sushang teams have gotten a massive buff with the introduction of Imaginary March 7th. Sushang's advance forward on her ult allows you to quickly build March 7th's talent stacks. This can be compounded even further if you have Bronya on your team as well, but you may run into skill point efficiency if you do not have Sushang's Eidolon 1. Skill (FU) + Ult + Skill/basic depends on E1 -> Bronya skill + Skill(FU) = 5 stacks.
