Valiant Force Forum

Ares Shizu is my third valiant from the arena shop. I am thinking of either samurai or assassin. I want Assassin because of her stun and poison, and I dont know how many times an ally assassin Shizu saved my butt, but because her aura relies on crit, I have to stack crit runes on her to make up for it. Samurai is also a choice due to skill scaling with ATK, and seems to be getting more popular lately but doesn't have the stun. For the stun I am making a Gladiator with kratos Freya.

So dear people, what should I do with her?

For me, I'd say either Samurai or Ninja unless you're really really short with disables.

Samurai Shizu is more used for Attack-Trigger composition. Ninja Shizu does not rely on crit and hits very hard in both PvE and PvP.

For disables I have Cybella GS/GR combo for the sleeps, and a Freya Gladiator on the way for stun and burn. Considering making one of my vincents a stunner. 

Since its Ares based, it is very powerful to use it as ninja, because it rely on damage to kill and refresh.

For samurai, the base idea is to use the aura as trigger and the skill is mainly for the def reduction and then trigger others to hit hard, so faith wise, no much effect, but of course, not athena will be good for samurai. Example with kratos and hercules, it makes her survive longer, zeus makes her more all rounder, ares and hera makes her hit harder.

Since you got Ares, go for ninja, but still up to you. Assassin need crit, and the difference between a hera assassin and a ares assassin can be significant because the crit jumps alot, and its aura proc using crit.

So all classes are ok, just what you desire. I have a zeus shizu, so after thinking for a long time, i decide to use her to LB. too many heroes also not easy to manage.

I would recommend Ninja class for Ares Shizu unless you want to reroll her faith to Hera xD

I agree with the others above me. SInce your shizu puts her faith to the God Ares, her innate ATK Status is higher and is really compatible with the killing spree the ninja's aura offers. If you'd prefer Assassin, I suggest you reroll her to HERA (Costly) since poison damages rely on CRIT Status.

Either samurai or ninja.

Samurai

1. Trigger master
2. Her skill is based on atk
3. AoE skill, mag and def reduction
4. less atk than ninja

Ninja

1. Swapper
2. Super useful for survival events like snowman and gold mine
3. more atk than ninja

I admit i'm bias, but for an ares shizu, samurai is better. Ninja can be replaced by kai.

thats the thing. Ninja can be replaced by Kai, so I am not considering a ninja for her. I still havent got a kai to go the ninja route as both times I drew a Kai he's already a kensei.

I am thinking samurai. as much as I want an assassin, the lack of crit is a concern for the aura.
