For simplicity, the following analyses will assume a fully seeded Wakan Tanka. | |||
===☆3/☆5 Wakan Tanka=== | |||
'''CP Battery/Offensive Buffer''' | |||
{{Companion icon|Wakan Tanka|rarity=5}} has a rather straightforward kit so there isn't too much to say here. Move him horizontally adjacent to allies who you want to buff with {{Status effect|剛力}} and CP charge. Along with {{Companion icon|Gunzo|rarity=5|variant=Valentine}}, Wakan Tanka sports the highest on-move CP charging of +20CP with {{Status effect|加速}} also giving a +8CP at the end of the turn. Nominally, this would mean 4 turns to fully charge any unit's CP but in practice, it usually takes 2-3 turns due to other sources of CP such as hitting enemies, teammates' skills, ARs, etc. Thus, Wakan Tanka is a very effective CP charger of the moving variety and offensive buffer. | |||
What gives Wakan Tanka's set complexity however is his increased vertical movement. In large maps, Wakan Tanka can be used to effectively kite enemies by shuffling around units in the frontline while hiding and CP charging his teammates in the backline. Furthermore, since his CP charging applies to himself (unlike Valentine Gunzo), he can also effectively time the activation of his CS such that his other teammates can benefit from the {{Status effect|CT+}} it bestows. This is one of the silver linings of the restriction that Wakan Tanka has to be horizontally adjacent to his allies to CP charge them; it allows him to control the pace more effectively. At SALV 1, Brawn and Crit+ together give an effective 2.3 * 2.5 = 5.75 multiplier. When timed right and with the right teammates, this can be a devastating combination. | |||
===Fashionista Wakan Tanka=== | |||
'''Bruiser''' | |||
To give an example of how {{Companion icon|Wakan Tanka|rarity=5|variant=Fashionista}} operates as a bruiser, let's consider first the potential burst damage Fashionista Wakan Tanka is able to achieve on the first turn of phase one. With both {{Status effect|CT}} and {{Status effect|CT+}} activating, Fashionista Wakan Tanka deals 4347 * 4.0 * 5.0 = 86940 damage per square. It's immense and can easily cut through elemental resistances from {{Attribute|AETHER}} and the like. If considering a different phase where Fashionista Wakan Tanka has bestowed {{Status effect|熱情}} on himself by means of his LB3, this damage becomes 86940 * 2.4 = 208656 damage per square. It's an incredibly high damage potential from self buffs which do not depend on moving at all. Even in the cases where Crit fails to activate, the damage/square are still a respectable 21735 and 52614 respectively. This damage is sufficient for clearing almost all mobs in the game. | |||
Obviously, such expectations are rather optimistic since they are only possible on phase start. For a more nuanced viewpoint, let's consider a fully seeded Fashionista Wakan Tanka attacking two enemies. There is a 40% chance that he will activate Crit when attacking the front enemy and a 0.6 * 0.4 = 24% chance that he will miss on the first enemy and crit on the second one. When Fashionista Wakan Tanka crits, he does 17388 damage per square as compared to the usual 4347. This gives us an overall expected value of 9563.4 damage on the first enemy and an expected value of 12693.24 damage on the second enemy. With Ardor up from his LB3, these values become 22952.16 and 30463.776 respectively while his minimum damage per square is a respectable 10432.8. On the other hand if {{Status effect|閃き}} is up instead (and not Ardor), these values are 10867.5 and 14127.75 respectively. It should be noted that if the goal is for Crit to proc at all, Glint effectively raises the chance of success from 64% to 75% in this case. The overall point is that Fashionista Wakan Tanka does a considerable amount of damage as can be seen from the expected value, and having just one offensive buff pushed his damage above 10k per square. | |||
'''Tank''' | |||
Let's consider Fashionista Wakan Tanka's effective HP with his elemental resistance as a {{Attribute|WORLD}} unit. When fully seeded, his HP is 8885 and combined with {{Status effect|守護}} and his elemental resistance, his effective HP becomes 39489. This is a rather common scenario since Fashionista Wakan Tanka resists the main three elements with the addition of {{Attribute|VALIANT}} in the mix as well. Overall, this demonstrates how he's an effective tank just from his LB1. | |||
There is a generally overlooked part of his set which is his resistance to blowback in his LB2. This niche, along with his tanking capabilities, make him an excellent unit for pushing the frontline and keeping it there. The usefulness of such an effect was demonstrated in the level 80 challenge quest for Canaan, in which Fashionista Wakan Tanka could be used to act as an effective anchor for other units against Bael's blowback effects. | |||
