Notes and Tips[]

With Koros the 🧙‍♂️ eating manti-core's high damage output, she is quite useful in PvP for removing threats with high damage AOE. This is especially true with Magical threats, as Koros deals x2 damage towards such enemies and in campaigns she is the 👌 choice for roasting all 🧙‍♂️ copies Ember copies & Kobal copies quite a treat.
