Kafka Hibino [The Man Who Became a Kaiju] is an A-tier Attacker with a unique transformation mechanic that shifts his role mid-battle. He begins as a Shot-type DPS, but after using his first Ultimate, he permanently transforms into his Kaiju form, changing into a Blunt-type Attacker for the remainder of the fight.
Kafka’s defining strength lies in this transformation. Upon entering Kaiju form, his Combat Skill becomes an AoE Attack, significantly improving his ability to handle multiple enemies. This makes him especially effective in wave-based stages or encounters with clustered foes. Because his transformation lasts until the end of battle, it’s generally optimal to activate his Ultimate early to maximize uptime in Kaiju form.
While his base form is more straightforward, his Kaiju state enhances his offensive presence and gives him better coverage in mob-heavy content. The shift from Shot to Blunt typing also allows him to adapt to different enemy resistances after transforming, adding flexibility to team building.
