Review

Hidden Challenger Chulsoo (RChulsoo) is a frontline tank with a very basic kit. He lacks the MDL and VHA of SSR defenders, but compensates for that with the absurd amount of DMG RDC his kit provides.

In PVE, frontline tanks with buffs/ debuffs are valued more highly than those focused solely on tanking for themselves. RChulsoo meets the baseline requirements expected of him as a frontline tank, but he contributes nothing more to the team.

In PVP, RChulsoo is played infrequently as a general frontline tank. As mentioned above, RChulsoo’s tankiness is attributed to his stacking DMG RDC. His lead skill greatly accelerates the process and quickly brings him up to par with other competitive alternatives. Therein lies his greatest issue: leader slot is highly competitive and RChulsoo does not provide enough to justify leading. This, compounded by his lack of MDL and VHA, means he tends to get passed up for the role in favor of less demanding alternatives even within his cohort of viable-but-not-meta defenders (e.g. Freelancer Kim Chowon).

Pros & Cons
Pros

- Cheap and durable frontline.
