Tez is essentially the second coming of Dark Koyan, Tai Gong, and Kirei , only his effects are made blisteringly straightforward and powerful in equal measure, all the way to the level of _Summer Ibuki_ . He's good at _EVERYTHING_ you put him to task to do, to the point that even Casters are not that much of a roadblock if you went all in on him. Assassins are usually one of the most sucky Classes of Servant as a whole , but this guy overcomes those inherent flaws and rips and tears with the best omni-farmers - a mean, _mean_ feat.

[@expendablea]

Care to explain how he is the second coming of Koyan Dark or Tai Gong ? And no, he's nowhere near the level of Summer ibuki, a berserker 2k atk superior with an anti earth SE

[@kun2588]

@@expendablea At NP2 he virtually covers every single Rider 90++ if you own Castoria, Oberon and an MLB BG. His AE battery also brings Castoria's NPs onto the table which can make him do more nodes. SIbuki doesn't do that for anything, even against her niche. Add on top the fact that he is capable of easily doing multi-core stuff due to his insane steroids for certain servants and AE Battery, so node formation is irrelevant to him. SIbuki is only better value if you're aiming for one DPS 90+ omnifarming which is unwise in today's day and age because those are no longer the best nodes. He's the second coming of Taikobou, because he slaps Taikobou's AE battery, steroids and Divine niche while actually being capable of looping himself which Taikobou can't. Also better than Koyan dark because his AE steroids aren't cardtype limited (tho their limited by guts users) and he has a self 50% battery on top of the AE 30% which Koyan lacks.

Great insight as usual Plush. I know it's probably a commonly asked question ( or not ) but compared to Huyan Zhuo, the most recent reliable SSR Assasin looper, is Tezca still worth pulling if you have her? Or is it more a matter of preference? Having an answer would be greatly appreciated!

[@fatesaintidv603]

Hmm, I think Huyan Zhuo kinda falls short when you start to compare their utilities. Huyan Zhuo’s kit is very selfish and lacks of team support while Tezcatlipoca is all about team being reckless with him. Another thing we have to consider is compatibility for 90+ node. Double DPS is now needed for irregular comps. DPS who can play as support is very popular pick for this type of node. Servants like Morgan, Percival, Oberon are usually picked more for these as they have skills that can amplified damage output of the other DPS or teamwide battery. Huyan can not do this as her skills are selfish and her being Quick doesn’t help cause Quick till this day is still pepega for high HP nodes and Skadi still has 1-target battery. And no, Taigong Wang can’t save them. 20% teamwide battery is not enough. Tezcat shines in these nodes. With a teamwide 30% battery, a Charisma that can gives 40% atk buff for servants who have Guts, he is definitely a better option for semi-DPS. He even has a 10% charge after NP, making skill ordering easier once you able to calculate how much charge will the other has after a turn. Servants who can self guts really love him as he amplified their damage output far greater than other semi-looper. While Ibuki is undoubtedly the best AOE Arts looper, Tezcatlipoca is probably the best choice of semi-looper for double DPS comps. He’s pretty insane once you starts to look deeper
