Lightsworn earns a 3.7/5.0 rating because he offers a rare and highly effective combination of debuffs and defensive buffs that are universally useful in PVE. His 3.7 score reflects his status as a top-tier progression champion who remains relevant until the ultra-late game. Key strengths include his Void affinity, which ensures his 30% Turn Meter reduction and Decrease ATK never fail due to affinity disadvantage, and his triple-hit A1 which is excellent for Fire Knight. However, he is held back from a 4.0+ rating by his lack of utility in the current Arena meta and the high number of Epic Tom
