Reno Ichikawa [Signs of Awakening] is a Shot-Element Attacker who specializes in resistance reduction and debuff synergy. He shines in teams built around status ailments, enabling both himself and his allies to land debuffs more reliably while increasing overall damage output.
His Ultimate is particularly valuable, as it reduces a Kaiju’s Effect RES, making it easier for the entire team to inflict debuffs and status effects. This makes him an excellent partner for characters who rely on Burn, Shock, Freeze, or other ailments to function at full power.
With his Combat Skill, Reno applies Gunshot Wound, a debuff that allows him to trigger additional damage when he follows up with his Combat Skill or Ultimate. This creates a simple but effective damage loop that rewards proper target focus.
Additionally, his Passive Skill increases his Ultimate Gauge whenever Gunshot Wound deals damage, allowing him to cycle his Ultimate faster than expected. Overall, Reno is a solid debuff-oriented DPS who performs best in coordinated, status-heavy team compositions.
