New Prototype Character - Character 8

Character 8 is good at punishing fast, trigger-friendly enemies. Equipped with abilities that inflict Shockwhenever the affected character deals damage, they incur elemental damage themselfthey can make fast opponents think twice before launching an all-out attack. Their stance "Ramping Strike" is also in line with this concept, having the ability to crush those who like to rapidly inflict damage.
In our opinion, Character 8 is a strong counter to the Ranger and Totem. We want to know your thoughts on this so please try them out!
