Schuri

Versatile

With the CR push built into his passive, Explosive Gentleman, Schuri is a solid initiator for PvP and can build momentum in Golem and Raid. Compared to endgame initiators such as Sage Baal & Sezan, Schuri helps early-mid game players clear a much wider variety of content.

Strong Imprint

Schuri has one of the best imprints in the game, Speed. He even has it as a 2 slot, which means as a 4★ unit he can grant 14 speed to members on his back and upper slot. This is helpful for players who are transitioning from mid to late game units since it not only boost an initiator by 14 speed, it can also shift Schuri into a secondary initiator to bridge the gap between an ultra-fast initiator and the rest of a player's team.

Access to Ranger Artifacts

Ranger have some of the best supporting and utility Artifacts in the game, and players can pick and choose according to a team’s needs. A Schuri with Song of Stars can target debuff enemy team’s key heroes, enabling players to burst them down. A Schuri in PvE settings can run Rosa Hargana to repeatedly push up the team and gain focus very quickly. This can easily hasten the team's turn cycling and pepper the enemy with damage and poison debuffs.

Falls Off Late Game

Due to the straightforward nature of Schuri's boost, lack of other utilities, and sub-optimal base Speed, players often opt out of Schuri in favor of other Heroes in end game scenarios that require more base speed or overall utility.

Unremarkable Damage     

Due to his best role being initiator, he will need to be built with abundant Speed and Crit Chance, without regard of Attack or Crit Damage. This means and early-mid game player will have to invest of their best Speed/Crit chance gear in him-- gear that could go on other DPS heroes-- while getting a unit that does okay damage at best.

Fire Unit in Ice Meta

Due to the PvP Meta currently being very Ice dominant, Schuri will have some disadvantageous matchups in arena and guild wars. Since he will have a 50% miss chance against ice units, this means 50% of the time he won’t Crit and fails his initiation. Players opting to use Schuri must be wary never to pick him into a full ice team for this reason.
