Unit Analysis by Team BethelFrankel
Class
Directional Converter with high damage
Overall
A
(SS at BT3)
Advantages
+At BT3: Insanely high conversion rate from turn 1
+Generates Dark Tiles, increasing her overall tile output over multiple turns
+Incredibly strong damage for a converter
+Strong synergies with Axelia, who can summon Chen’ni’s Dark Tiles
Disadvantages
-– Conversion is only placed on the current row/column/diagonal, requiring careful planning
– EQ normals can sometimes target the wrong enemies
– Somewhat anti-synergistic with Nemesis due to how she converts
Explanation
On the surface, Chen’ni seems like yet another column Converter—just with the addition of generation Dark Tiles. However, due to her conversion being based on your current position, she plays more like a cross Converter. Cross Converters are already some of the most useful units in the game, so adding Dark Tile generation on top of that means that Chen’ni provides a huge amount of conversion across multiple turns. Add her excellent damage to this, with Normal Attacks that are strong enough to allow her to serve as a sub-DPS, and you have one of Thunder’s strongest converters.
There are a few drawbacks, though. Because her directional conversion can’t be freely positioned, she can sometimes have a harder time lining things up than a unit like Pollux. In addition, her Normal Attacks, despite their strength, do have an odd, sometimes frustrating targeting mechanism due to her Equipment.
Overall, though, this level of raw conversion with such strong damage output is rare, making the Millennial Dragon live up to her legendary status.
