Karsu overview
Her somewhat random targeting spreads damage poorly when many enemies are present, but repeated Frost application is excellent against a single boss. A common plan is to let Funke clear normal encounters while Karsu waits in reserve. Further rank-ups can also unlock useful Duelist backup scaling.
How to use Karsu
Game plan
- Keep her in reserve for normal multi-enemy encounters.
- Field her against bosses to stack Frost quickly.
- Consider an additional rank when her higher-rank backup choices can scale another Duelist.
Items
- Stack attack speed to increase Frost application.
Positioning Reserve her between bosses, then place her safely at range for single-target encounters.
Source limits The auto-caption clearly describes a Warrior-flavored path, but its current site specialization name is uncertain. She is not the creator's preferred general-purpose damage dealer.
Karsu upgrades
Rank B cards and A/S pools are current to Demo 0.5.5. The guide itself remains tied to the older video patch; notes appear only when the video covers a choice. The Warrior-flavored route is also valued for Frost application.
