Hi im a rank 1002 pleb because rank means nothing. Perspective, as usual, taken mainly from rank farming and fast consistent a3’s.
6*
In theory, this is actually not a bad lead for some ranking dungeons. however, since mina exists, use of kenshin will probably be limited to messing around since most of the time mina will be better. The active skill has some farming uses (not swipefarming, other farming) as a 3x buff to red is fairly strong (until we get that thing in jp thats 5x to red for a turn)
The natural comparison here is to awoken ichigo. Higher base multipier without making blob darks (2x vs 1.5x) but the dmg for 1 row is a lot lower (4x vs 6x for ichigo). Esp since for farming stuff you use either halloween sharon or diadem to make rows, usually you are better off with ichigo. The only real benefit here is that you can inherit onto saito with his lower base cooldown while usually its hard to do so with ichigo (24 cd base)
Before you go crazy rolling for him, make sure you know what you are using him for. In terms of real dungeons (a3) hiko is as good as/ better than fujin, though the +1 combo is generally wasted as absorb monsters dont tend to have combo shields.
HOWEVER
If your goal is to rankfarm keep in mind that hiko DOES NOT WORK as a replacement for fujin for ganesha MHera or double ganesha hanuman no-pass. For those dungeons, only fujin will work in the builds so dont whale for this.

This card is good. First, he is skilled up by a rock so thats pretty cool. More importantly, he is one of the few machine killer monsters that is capable of taking machine killer latents, so that is incredibly strong. He is useable on yamamoto teams to take down machine types/ machine+physical types.
Not worth writing more than this for

There is a surprising amount of value in silvers in the collab. This girl/guy is really good considering that NA will never get crows. attacker/devil killers with a low cd active and the best typing in the game (balanced) so that it can take all latent killers. Due to the lack of crows cards, you may find yourself needing this card when valten comes to NA (for double ganesha devil rush)
This card was definitely more in the meta during kenshin 1.0. There are a lot of double row cards out there today, but this still serves a small niche in being able to heal 50% hp. Works well if you goemon into a board for yamamoto and need to bypass a combo shield with a preempt after. Only problem is that the most common use of fullboard in current meta is for meridionalis, and creating a blue row is not good after you fullboard there.
There will always be a use for 99-dmg lasers due to that piece of shit ancient dragon knight zeal. The fact that it is multitarget as well gives it more versatility. I actually use this card quite a bit. Fairly helpful in mathena swipefarming runs.
Is this card new? If so its not worth talking about. Otherwise its still not worth talking about
Would have been good in 2012. Maybe?
