Who is the Portable Chainsaw Suitable for?
A portable chainsaw is a two-handed weapon that is aimed at increasing the percentage of HP, and also has a small bonus in the form energy recovery. This is quite specific equipment, not suitable for every character due to rarely used stats.
The weapon can be considered for characters with an expensive ultimate and HP damage scales based on elemental reactions. Since the ive effect works “from the pocket,” the sword is suitable for both primary and secondary damage dealers.
The portable chainsaw may be suitable for the following characters:
| Character | Features |
|---|---|
Dehya |
The heroine directly depends on the amount of HP: the higher the indicator of this stat she has, the more effectively she diverts damage from the squad and damages herself. A portable chainsaw may be a good solution if: – there is no signature Lighthouse of the Reed Sea or other suitable weapon; – there are problems with the balance of characteristics and/or lack of HP%. Such a small amount of elemental mastery in the Blossom build will not reveal itself in any way, even if it is played in a squad through reactions, but the additional small energy recovery can be useful due to the expensive ult of the mercenary. In squads, weapons can be placed through reactions only if they have awakening level 5. In other cases it loses Regalia of the forest. |
Dory |
For Dory, this weapon is only suitable due to its high HP%, which beats out the Bell Sword. However, the ive will not bring much benefit: the heroine in the build does not need elemental mastery, and the sword restores very little energy. To solve problems with energy recovery, it is better to turn to the two-handed sword Favonius, and the damage build requires more serious equipment. It is better to take a portable chainsaw for Dory only in a situation with an acute shortage of HP. |
We will also highlight Kaveha. This weapon is not recommended for him, since its damage does not scale with HP. And the elemental mastery stat from the ive, although not useless, is still too small for this sword to compete with others that are more suitable for Kaveh. The problem with energy recovery is also not solved.
Apart from the characters listed above, at the moment the Portable Chainsaw is not suitable for anyone else: the other heroes either do not need high HP, or even the ive effect of the weapon is useless for them.
How does a portable chain saw work?
Based on the description of the ive effect of the weapon, in order to receive all available enhancements in the form of an MS bonus and energy restoration, the hero must either be able to heal other characters on his own (Barbara and etc.). This places a limitation on the choice of allies for the sword bearer, which is not always convenient, since taking a shield warrior into the squad is unprofitable for the overall damage.
The rotation when playing with the Portable Chainsaw is as follows:
- Gain energy on all characters and use all buffs on s except the healer.
- Switch to the healer and activate his healing abilities. Try to heal the sword bearer three times to get all the Symbols. Before you get all the stacks, do not use an elemental skill or ult on the weapon's masters, so as not to waste them.
- Switch to the main damage dealer and attack while all buffs are active. After finishing them, start from point 1.
