First Half:
Second half (CN beta):
✦ Build Comparison ✦
8.2 first half weather is mostly made for Stellar Rain build and second half for Evasion spam.
Why would I use the Stellar Rain Build?
༄ The rotation feels smoother (in my opinion)
༄ The build depends less on one core (Sakura)
Why would I use the Evasion Spam Build?
༄ It's a little stronger
Yeah honestly you'd only use Sushang if you have fun with her, so just choose the build you have more fun with
✦ Summary ✦
✧ Stellar Rain Build ✧
✧ Evasion Spam Build ✧
[to be added]
✦ Closing Statement ✦
During CN beta v2 one of her builds was alright and one was trash.
Now both of her builds are bad, great!
Honestly the biggest disappointment in ER so far since P2 released, sadge
Well, she can still clear, so enjoy her!
