⑦ Dark Choco FAQ

Is Dark Choco a tank or a damage dealer?

Both, by build. His base kit is a tanking kit with a DEF-shredding strike, so he tanks by default — but a Debuffer rune setup (Focus + Skill Haste) turns him into a support-damage hybrid for raid teams.

Why is Dark Choco in so many teams?

Because knockback plus DEF reduction is useful in every mode — story waves, dungeon bosses and Arena alike. No other SSR covers both survivability and team-wide damage amplification in one slot.
