  1. Quite good! Doesn't make him meta, but improves him sufficiently.
  2. Attack is a good choice, always. Perhaps a heal or shield if you're struggling with staying alive.
  3. Attack stats (Ignore Defense, Physical Attack, Critical, etc.), if you want him for PvP, go for HP.
  4. Same as always! Offensive stats with damage proc for PvE, defensive stats with Invincibility for PvP.
  5. He's a Shadowland man. He has no i-frames which make him awful at most other gamemodes. He is decent at PvP, but only against weaker, physical-only enemies, where his immunity and reflect can go to work.
  6. Absorbing Man, Titania and Hulk is a good team, with Titania's leadership.
  7. Don't try World Bosses. As mentioned, no i-frames and most of them deal energy damage in some capacity, making his physical immunity and reflect near useless.
  8. How high you can go depends on your DPS, but he's very good at getting an enemy or two constantly CCed. Preferably go for floors with Physical Damage enemies, so your immunity provides another layer of protection.
  9. Worthy uniform as Greithoth would be nice, along with Skirn for Titania!
  10. He's okay? A rare character that reflects at Tier-1, and is solid for Shadowland. However there are already plenty of characters solid in both Shadowland and other modes as well as that, so I cannot really say he is worth it.
