Resources

Assessment

This section contains subjective remarks about this class.
Relevancy of information and recommended weapons can quickly change over time.
Use substantial discretion before heavily investing resources.

Overview

Kengo is an offensive class focused on buffing and dealing charge attack damage. Since it is generally easier to achieve higher charge attack numbers, the class provides very accessible damage. Furthermore, Kengo's Class Champion Weapon (CCW), Unsigned Kaneshige, is an exceptionally powerful and synergistic main weapon and is often the best choice available. For this reason, unlocking Kengo as your first EX II class is highly recommended since crafting any CCW is a requirement to unlocking all the row IV classes. Overall, Kengo consistently proves to be a reliable option for Full Auto, Burst and High Difficulty content.
