It's Showtime is a great Light Cone for Nihility characters that rely on inflicting DoTs or debuffs for damage. The Trick buff provides them with a hefty DMG boost and can stack up to three times, which can easily be maxed out by DoT characters.

Is It's Showtime Worth It?

Great F2P Light Cone for DoT Characters

It's Showtime's Trick buff provides a great offensive boost for DoT characters. This is amazing for Nihility characters that rely on DoT and can inflict it multiple times per turn like Black Swan and Kafka.

The ATK boost is also nice to have but it can be hard to get since the requirement is 80% Effect Hit Rate and most DoT characters don't need that much. Debuffers like Pela can also use this Light Cone if they need the extra damage, but this is best used on DoT characters.
