Ichigo (Hollow)
Best Build Guide
Unlock the true potential of the Secret Unit Ichigo. The optimal Relic setup, Stat priority, and Trait choice for maximum DPS.
Best Relic Setup
Why Reaper Set is better than Shadow Reaper.
The Setup: Full Reaper Set
Ichigo benefits from ALL tags (Peroxide, Hollow, Rage, Reaper), meaning he gets every single buff from these relics.
- NecklaceReaper Necklace: -7.5% Cooldown, +15% Rage
- ShirtReaper Shirt: +12.5% Armor Pen, +20% Hyper Armor Dmg
- PantsReaper Pants: +10% Damage, +15% Range
Reaper vs. Shadow Reaper
Many players suggest Shadow Reaper for Crit Chance. However, the Base Reaper Set gives Flat Damage and Cooldown Reduction, which scales better for a raw DPS unit like Ichigo.
Trait & Stat Priority
Optimizing for maximum damage output.
Trait: Ruler
Ichigo has a 1 Placement Limit. This makes Ruler (+200% Damage) the only viable option. Any other trait is a massive waste of potential.
Stat Allocation
He is a "Damage Demon". Put almost all points into Damage. Aim for S-Tier stats on Damage (use Stat Locks).
Passive Abilities Explained
Gains +1% Crit Chance per crit hit (Caps at 15%). Also stops enemy regen for 2s on crit.
Gains +0.25% Damage per kill (Caps at 40%). With Etherealization 4, this cap increases to 50%.
Deals 125% damage and Stuns enemies for 5s. (90s Cooldown).
The Verdict
Is he worth it?
Pros
- + Massive Raw DPS (12k+ unmaxed)
- + Insane Range with Relics
- + High Hyper Armor Damage
Cons (The "Cost" Issue)
- - Extremely High Upgrade Cost
- - Ground Only (Until late upgrades)
- - Struggles with Air early game
Conclusion: Ichigo is an S-Tier unit, but his cost holds him back. You absolutely need Speedwagon (Farm) to use him effectively. Bring a cheap Air unit (like Stark) to cover early waves.
