Our Take on Faust
Faust is an SSR Mage who fights alongside Krul, a summon that inherits 100% of her attributes. Krul Charge summons Krul to strike a medium area for 390% Magic Damage with a brief [Stun], after which Krul attacks for 125% Magic Damage. While Faust and Krul are both active, Dual Threat gives each of them 28% more Attack.
Strengths
- +Krul inherits 100% of Faust's attributes, so the summon works as a second full-strength damage dealer.
- +Overload makes the next basic attack after any skill deal 165% Magic Damage in a large area, adding splash damage between casts.
- +At talent level 4, Krul Charge resets Bunny Bomb's cooldown, and a bomb-carrying Krul gains 40% Attack and Movement Speed.
Weaknesses
- −Dual Threat's 28% Attack bonus only applies while Krul is alive, and the text does not state how long Krul lasts.
- −Bunny Bomb explodes 5 seconds after attaching, a delay that gives targets time to move or die first.
How to Play Faust
Keep Faust in the back row and open with Krul Charge so Dual Threat's 28% bonus is active as early as possible. Bunny Bomb attaches to Krul when Krul is present, turning the summon into a moving bomb carrier. Talent level 4 is the key upgrade because it lets Krul Charge immediately reset Bunny Bomb and speeds up the bomb-carrying Krul. Level 2 adds [Damage Reduction Decrease] on successful [Punishment], and level 7 gives Krul's bomb-carrying attacks a 30% chance to raise enemy Overdrive costs.
