Character Stats
Overview
As the first 4★ Shadow Blade, Durant offers a much needed option to budget players for their Shadow Stables. Unlike most DPS focused Adventurers, Durant has no damaging skills, instead having two buffing skills that increase his Strength and Crit rate while lowering Defense. This leads to Durant having impressive auto attack hits, but has the major drawback of him having no way to unload on bosses during key moments of the fight, instead relying on sustained DPS. Durant is also highly reliant on HP conditionals to maintain good DPS. He's also extremely frail, vulnerable to dying in a single hit from bosses due to his lowered Defense even at full HP. All that of those combined with his lower stats makes Durant outright inferior to the 5★ Shadow blades Ieyasu and Natalie, but he's still a decent choice for those with limited options.
Strengths
High Auto Attack Damage
Durant's double buffs allow him to have some of the hardest hitting basic attack combos in the entire game, helped by Blade's excellent attack rotation.
Easily Obtained
Unlike the limited Ieyasu or the much rarer Natalie, Durant is relatively easy to obtain as a 4★ Adventurer, and having access to his blade Co-Ability for Shadow is a real boon.
Weaknesses
Extremely Vulnerable to Damage
With his Defense constantly tanked by his own buffs, Durant is highly likely to die from any damage, and even chip damage will drastically lower his DPS as his Full HP conditionals fall off.
No Damaging Skills
Outside of weapon skills, Durant has no skill damage, meaning that all he can do is tap away and keep his buffs up. With no burst damage, unloading on bosses during the Break State or hitting bosses when they are open after an attack cycle just isn't an option for Durant.
Dragon Recommendations
- Marishiten: Since Durant gets no benefit from Skill Damage boosts, he would prefer the straight strength bonus Marishiten offers.
- Chthonius: in longer fights were he can transform multiple times, Chthonius will out-perform Marishiten.
- Juggernaught: With his decent strength bonus, Juggernaught actually will outperform Shinobi on Durant.
Weapon Recommendations
Hollow Nightmare: A void weapon is a good starting point for any Adventurer, and Durant will enjoy the Defense bonus and Skill Haste to keep his buffs up.
Blackwing: The Core IO weapon offers a much needed damaging skill to Durant.
Abyss: High Dragon weapons are the pinnacle of performance, though it's unlikely Durant will be able to perform well in HJP.
Wyrmprint Recommendations
Pair 1
Pair 2
As far as non-limited prints go, Durant would prefer more crit and strength, and thus Jewel's of the Sun and Levin's champion are both good choices.
However, if you have access to the limited Mega Man prints, Bubble and Wood and Air and Crash both offer great strength bonuses. Bubble and Wood also offers Gauge Accelerator, while Air and Crash offer's some much needed survivability with 10% Light Res.
