Overall
S-
(S+ at BT3)
Advantages
+At BT3
+R3 Amazing burst performance with strong utility
+Incidental conversion value
+Diagonal attacks
+Both knockback and pull are helpful with specific teammates, like Zhong Xu
Disadvantages
-– BT3 and Refinements are a huge improvement to his damage
–The +10% damage effect on equipment is negligible because it cannot pick up normal multipliers
–Extensive competition from other Fire detonators
–Conversion attached to his high-damage active can sometimes feel worse if the reset isn’t needed
Explanation
Charon is an old yet enduring unit. Abilities like resets, knockbacks, and pulls are fairly rare, and they have the potential to strategy-warping for certain stages. Such utility paired with his decent detonator core has allowed Charon to stay relevant even as the Fire DPS competition has intensified. Now, his Refinements adding to his personal damage has made him better able to compete with other S+ DPS units during burst turns while retaining all his utility. He still has issues and is reliant on BT3 and Refinements, but his niche in Fire is strong regardless.
