Review
Janus is a flying backline damage dealer with an HP gate transformation gimmick that transforms it from a flying ranger into a ground defender. Unfortunately, Janus does not have the stats, utility, or the multipliers to support itself as a functioning unit in either transformation, resulting in a mediocre character unremarkable in either role.
Janus’ glaring weakness is that its transformations share the same set of gear. Janus can only be geared to support one of its transformation states, and neither are particularly good.
As a flying ranger, Janus’ damage is too low to be competitive as a damage dealer. Janus can be played for the burst damage on its special skill, but likewise the damage multiplier falls short of what is provided by other more competitive damage dealers. For comparison, Janus is completely outclassed by Rosaria, a character who occupies the same niche. Janus falls short on damage, lacks consistency, and the remainder of its kit does little to bridge the gap in performance.
As a ground tank, Janus does not possess relevant utility that would justify its use. Janus fails to deliver on its premise as a transforming multi-role unit. There are no trade-offs within the kit that would compensate for the stat deficiency.
For all scenarios, there exist more effective alternatives for the role.
Pros & Cons
Pros
