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, Weapon s 1040909300 note.jpg Unsigned Kaneshige, is an exceptionally powerful and synergistic main weapon and is often the best choice available. Kengo consistently proves to be a reliable option for Full Auto, Burst and High Difficulty content.
