Slayer earns a 2.1/5.0 rating because his kit is fundamentally unfocused and lacks the reliability needed for mid-to-late game content. While he gains some points for having an AoE attack for campaign clearing and a high-percentage Stun on his A3, these are overshadowed by his low base stats and the weak 25% version of the Decrease ATK debuff. Compared to other Rares like Soulbond Bowyer or even Elhain, his damage output and utility are significantly lower. He lacks the specialized power to be a 'Rare MVP' and functions only as a temporary filler for players with limited rosters. Final verdict
