Passives & Mechanics
Soul Bind
Each attack applies one stack of Soul Bind to the target (maximum 3 stacks). Once three stacks are reached on a target, Ichi’s next strike detonates them, dealing true damage equal to 175% of Ichi’s damage. Detonation occurs once per target per full stack cycle.
Hollow Fury
When Soul Bind is detonated, Hollow Fury is triggered for 8 seconds. While Hollow Fury is active:
- +20% Attack Speed
- +10% Critical Chance
Additionally, each kill during Hollow Fury extends its remaining duration by 2 seconds (up to a cap of 12 seconds total).
Strengths
- The stacking + detonation mechanic lets Ichi (Dusk) deliver burst damage, especially to single targets.
- Hollow Fury grants a temporary DPS boost (attack speed + crit rate) that can be extended by securing kills.
- His late upgrades greatly boost his damage and range, making him more viable in later waves.
- With proper setup and placement, he can deal with tougher enemies more effectively than his base form.
Weaknesses
- He has a more complex playstyle, requiring you to manage the stacking and detonation mechanics.
- His SPA (attack interval) becomes larger at certain upgrade levels (notably upgrade 8), which can reduce his sustained DPS.
- Hollow Fury’s duration is limited, and to maintain it you must kill enemies during that window, which may not always be possible.
- He may struggle against large groups of enemies unless you can detonate stacks efficiently.
Role & Recommended Usage
- Best used in modes where you can let him build stack charges and then detonate to burst down high-HP targets.
- Position in backline so he remains safer while he accumulates stacks.
- Combine with crowd control or slowing units, enabling Ichi to land successive hits on the same target to build stacks.
- Try to trigger Hollow Fury at pivotal waves or boss waves to maximize his damage output.
Tier & Comparisons
- In many tier lists, Ichi (Dusk) is placed as a B-Tier DPS unit.
- He is seen as “excellent in damage and range” among DPS ground magic units.
- One key draw is his AoE explosion effect when hitting the same enemy 3 times (i.e. stacking and detonating) as part of his special mechanics.
