Capricorn Shura is the first S-rank unit that all players have because the game gives him for free, and that is useful in early progression. His kit is very direct: Sacred Blade - Flurry hits one target multiple times, Sacred Blade gives him a permanent Crit boost, and the Awakened skill can add more and more extra hits over the course of battle. In early PvE this lets him clean up targets quickly and helps new players clear basic content.
Unfortunately, as account progression advances, Shura's limits become obvious. He is a pure single-target DPS with high energy demand, needs time to ramp his extra slashes, and depends heavily on extended fights to reach full value. Even with Awakened Cloth and some PvP usability, his damage profile and tempo fall behind modern units, so he is mostly a starter option rather than a long-term meta pick.
Pros
- Good character for beginners.
- Its single target damage is considerable at the beginning of the game.
Cons
- Its DPS is greatly surpassed by others.
- It consumes a lot of energy, each attack costs 2 points.
- It needs to charge its swords, which can take time.
