Kaiju No. 8 [Scorching Variant] is an SS-tier Dual-Attribute (Blunt/Fire) Attacker who specializes in high-impact Blast Attacks and relentless Ultimate cycling. Although he cannot equip Weapons or Uniparts,he is a monster, a truly monster, his kit compensates with an exceptional number of self-buffs and built-in scaling mechanics that push his damage ceiling extremely high.
He gains Resolve whenever he or an ally uses an Ultimate, stacking up to 6 times. Resolve increases his Blunt DMG and Ultimate Multiplier, and when he activates his Ultimate, he consumes up to 3 stacks to partially refund his Ultimate Gauge. This creates a powerful feedback loop that enables rapid Ultimate rotations while maintaining strong self-buffs.
Beyond Resolve, he gains multiple offensive boosts through his Skills and Passives, including increases to DMG Dealt, Ultimate DMG, ATK, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, and even SPD. These layered enhancements allow him to function as a self-sufficient hyper-carry with explosive burst potential.
However, he cannot equip Weapons or Uniparts, making him a unique unit whose strength relies entirely on his base kit and Ascensions. In terms of investment, A2 is a major breakpoint, increasing his Combat Skill Multiplier and granting DEF PEN when consuming 3 Resolve stacks. A4 further improves his consistency by allowing him to self-generate Resolve after using his Combat Skill or Follow-Up Skill. Prioritize A2 first, then aim for A4 for a significant power spike.
