Due to his {{Attribute|Infernal}} attribute he is unable to capitalize on his increased defenses as he takes 1.5x damage innately and because he has no buffs to his own ATK, he merely does middling damage from being {{Attribute|Infernal}}. His sustain is also too low to be effective at keeping him alive due to his aforementioned poor defense. His range being {{Weapon|Slash}} means he absolutely must be on the frontlines which puts him at even more risk of taking large amounts of damage. | ||

At first glance, 5☆ Shino has a similar kit to his 3☆, with the initial major difference being a longer range of {{Weapon|Thrust}} giving him some flexibility and safety and he gains CP on hit letting him charge up his CS faster. He also gains increased defense against {{Weapon|Slash}} attacks. Unfortunately these traits don't do much to mitigate the flaws that his 3☆ card has since he still doesn't provide his own attack buff, so he is unable to inflict much damage without significant help. | At first glance, 5☆ Shino has a similar kit to his 3☆, with the initial major difference being a longer range of {{Weapon|Thrust}} giving him some flexibility and safety and he gains CP on hit letting him charge up his CS faster.

Shino has a unique skill evolution | However, 5☆ Shino has a unique skill evolution which changes his [[Blood of the Beast]] skill into [[Head Hunter]]. This gives him the ability to inflict {{Status|en name=Countdown}} and a 4x damage modifier to enemies with {{Status|en name=Countdown}} on them including the same attack he applies {{Status|en name=Countdown}} with. This gives Shino a much needed boost in damage as it allows him to deal out {{Status|en name=Crit}} level damage at a reliable rate. However, Shino can only apply {{Status|en name=Countdown}} for the first turn with his regular attacks so he must rely on allies or his CS beyond that. | ||
