Let us know your thoughts on Shu-Zhen the Valorous in the comments below!
Her whole kit is really awesome, but her A2 is absolutely bonkers. With her A2 you can build a speed team that has a nuker with NO speed, only 70% crit rate, and they don’t even have to worry about staying alive at all (ie no stone skin required). She is going to be a menace in the arena!
Why do they not have to worry about staying alive?
The ability buffs the target ally, then gives that ally an extra turn. I think the logic is that the target ally doesn’t need speed because he/she’s being instantly buffed and given a turn to act.
One of the common strategies right now is to have a slow nuker (so you can focus on dmg stats and forget about speed) in a stone skin set so they are almost guaranteed to at least get a turn. With her, as long as you go first, she gives your nuker a turn right away.
