Review

Overview

Hwang Dongsoo is a unit with dormant potential that is waiting for the right boss. With the ability to remove armor, he will be a powerful force once we get a boss with armor. Still, his damage is quite good even without having the ability to fully use his kit. Having the ability to increase his defense, he will be rather tanky while dishing out enough damage to make him a solid unit.

Best Weapons

For SSR characters, you always want to use their Signature/EX Weapon - they are simply the best for them. Until you obtain the signature weapon, just use the options listed below. The priority is set from left to right. Also, If you have a Signature/EX weapon for a Hunter that is not in your team you can consider using it for the raw stats alone - as long as it matches the character.
