Saurus earns a 3.0/5.0 rating because he is the definition of a 'one-trick pony' who performs that trick at an elite level. His S-Tier capability as a 6-second Campaign farmer is his strongest asset, providing immense value to players looking to optimize their daily grind. However, his rating is heavily suppressed by his abysmal base stats and lack of utility in almost every other area of the game, including Clan Boss, Hydra, and high-level Arena. Compared to other Uncommons like Armiger, he lacks the versatility to handle boss mechanics, making him a niche luxury rather than a progression ess
