How is Benimaru Nikaido in All-Star Awakening? A Detailed Look at Benimaru Nikaido in All-Star Awakening

In the game, Benimaru Nikaido has a certain level of popularity due to his unique appearance and fighting style. His body is full of bulging muscles, with every inch of skin seemingly containing endless power. His explosive physique exudes a strong sense of aggression. The All-Star Awakening version of Benimaru Nikaido has made some adjustments to the character, resulting in different designs from the familiar gameplay. Therefore, it's important to understand the character's settings below.

Benimaru Nikaido is positioned as a support character in the game. However, do not underestimate this support role. In battle, whenever a teammate successfully lands a light punch, Benimaru Nikaido can recover an additional 50 rage points. This skill allows him to continuously accumulate rage in sync with his teammates' attack rhythm, laying the foundation for releasing powerful skills later on. When Benimaru Nikaido himself lands a heavy punch, he enters a "Fury" state, which has a 30% chance to inflict a "Shock" effect on all enemies. "Shock" is another type of extra damage, but more importantly, it weakens the enemy's defense.

Looking at his ultimate skill, it is a single-target attack. When initiating the attack, Benimaru Nikaido gathers all his strength and releases a powerful energy blast at the target. More critically, while dealing damage, both he and his adjacent teammates gain a 5% increase in hit rate, which lasts for two turns. This means that for a period after the ultimate skill is released, Benimaru Nikaido and his nearby teammates will have more precise attacks, effectively hitting the enemy and boosting overall output efficiency.

Especially when in the "Fury" state, the ultimate skill also releases additional thunder power. This thunder will prioritize attacking the enemy with the lowest health, and it has a chance to randomly bounce, creating a chain reaction on the battlefield. It will preferentially target enemies affected by the "Shock" effect, expanding the skill's damage range and impact.

His rage skill is also quite effective. When used, Benimaru Nikaido directly launches three attacks, each dealing considerable energy damage to cross-shaped targets, with a 30% chance to inflict another layer of the "Shock" effect. When an enemy is affected by the "Shock" effect, their resistance to effects is reduced by 10%, which lasts for three turns. It's worth noting that the "Shock" effect can stack up to five layers, though the weakening effect does not stack. Even so, multiple layers of the "Shock" effect can still significantly impact the enemy's defenses. In the enhanced "Fury" state, Benimaru Nikaido's ability to inflict "Shock" is increased, making it more likely to occur.

After Benimaru Nikaido completes his awakening, his abilities are further enhanced. At this point, he can directly reduce the final damage reduction of enemies affected by the "Shock" effect, which is like delivering another blow to already weakened defenses. This is the core effect of Benimaru Nikaido as a support character. For equipment, consider the Moonlight set, which not only boosts the entire team's output but also enhances combat capabilities based on the number of positive and negative effects on the user.

Whether it's the "Shock" effect applied by Benimaru Nikaido himself or the various buffs obtained by teammates during battle, they can all be further strengthened and utilized through the Moonlight set. In terms of team composition, considering Benimaru Nikaido's unique ability to weaken enemy defenses with "Shock," a recommended lineup includes Iori Yagami, Orochi, Kyo Kusanagi, and Omega Rugal. In this team, Benimaru Nikaido is also a core member, using his unique "Shock" skill to weaken enemy defenses and create a favorable attack environment for his teammates. The other characters are all powerful damage dealers, each with unique skills and attack methods. With Benimaru Nikaido's support, they can maximize their output and launch a variety of attacks, making the entire lineup extremely potent.

Through the detailed explanation above, I hope you now have a clear understanding of how to play Benimaru Nikaido in All-Star Awakening. By carefully selecting the right equipment, Benimaru Nikaido can easily fit into many offensive lineups.
