ShamaneBuild and Guide

Introduction

Shamane is a 6✦ rarity character from the Beast afflatus who deals Reality damage and belongs to the Sub DPS class.

With access to universal DEF shred and DMG taken debuffs, he can slot into Reality or Mental teams pretty easily. However, his main function is to deal damage by cycling his Ultimate. His Euphoria buff emphasizes his Ult spam strategy while allowing him to generate Moxie for the whole team, albeit randomly.

Review

Shamane is a 6-star Support of the Beast Afflatus. He is an all-rounder, bringing strong debuffs, decent damage and a bit of AP-generosity to the table. Using “Spirit Medium”, he is able to inflict -Reality/Mental DEF and +DMG Taken. Though this might remind you of Arcanists such as Bkornblume and Baby blue, Shamane trumps their versatility by shredding both DEF stats at once, vastly broadening his teambuilding options.

Utilizing his Insight 1, 3 and “Apprentice's Dance” skill, Shamane is able to stack up his [Nature's Blessing] buff. This buff is consumed when he casts his Ultimate, “Edict of Atman” to refund him an amount of Moxie proportional to the amount of consumed stacks. This means that when played properly, Shamane can cast “Edict of Atman” several times in a row, and with its increased base Crit Rate, he can do a deceptively high amount of damage.

Despite his formidable adaptability, there are arguments to be made against him. Regardless of the rank at which “Spirit Medium” is cast, it will always inflict -15% Reality/Mental DEF. Unlike Bkornblume who can shred up to 25% Reality DEF with her own debuff (though Shamane makes up for this with a massive +DMG Taken debuff that far exceeds other debuffers). His potential as a Carry is also not as high as a certain other Support, and he'll require Portrays if you want to use him as one. Despite this, Shamane performs at the top of the Support category, even if only for his versatility.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Extremely versatile debuffer that can perform in just about every general team.
Great burst cycle using [Nature’s Blessing].
Euphoria: Can be used in teams with Anjo Nala and Flutterpage to 1-turn cycle their Ultimates.

Cons

Doesn't shred as much Reality/Mental DEF as specialized debuffers.
Carry potential doesn't come online before Portray 2/5 (and even then could struggle against high Crit Res opponents).

Psychubes

Comments

“The Carat of the Heart” is the Psychube tailored for Shamane that comes as an event reward in 1.3. It is advised to amplify it to at least level 2 if you want to make good use of its passive. Other options include the universal “Brave New World” or even “Her Second Life”. The latter one works as a decent extra source of healing for your team since Shamane can spam his Mass Ult.
