Jintoro — guide

In short

Jintoro is a Legendary Magic Attack champion from the Shadowkin — a single-target samurai nuker. He is a Clan Boss specialist: big multipliers, a 100% Turn Meter steal and his own Decrease DEF plus Weaken let him one-key CB. Build him; priority is damage first, Accuracy second.

Strengths

• His A2 hits for 5.8× ATK and steals 100% of the target's Turn Meter — damage and control in one button; if the target is immune to Turn Meter reduction, it refunds 1 turn of his A3 cooldown.
• A3 places 60% Decrease DEF and 25% Weaken for 2 turns, so he sets up his own damage; every 4th use against the same target in a round it hits 5 times instead of once — great with boss-damage masteries.
• The Vigor passive makes every Turn Meter fill effect 50% more effective on him, so he gets pushed ahead of the rest of the team.
• 29% ATK aura in all battles — free damage for the whole squad, Clan Boss included.
• A1 grants an extra turn on a kill, which cleans up waves nicely.

Weaknesses

• Squishy: 1,068 DEF and 15,360 HP, so focused damage drops him fast.
• Only 10 base Accuracy — his Decrease DEF and Weaken need a lot of ACC from gear to land on CB.
• The passive breaks speed tunes: the extra Turn Meter fill shifts his timing in a carefully tuned Clan Boss team.
• Weak against Hydra and in Hard mode, where single-target burst and Turn Meter steals matter far less.

Where to use

Clan Boss first (5/5) — that is his mode, where his damage and debuffs do the work. Then Chimera (4/5) and Faction Wars (4/5), where he carries as a damage dealer with his own aura. In Arena (3.5/5) he is a nuker: Decrease DEF plus Weaken for a partner nuker, and the Turn Meter steal against fast targets. Dungeons and Doom Tower (3/5) are fine but unremarkable. Hydra and Hard (2/5) — leave him at home.

Stats and gear

Priority: 100% C.RATE, then C.DMG, ATK%, SPD and ACC.

• C.RATE — 100% (base is only 15%), otherwise 5.7–5.8× ATK multipliers lose their point.
• C.DMG — 200%+ via gloves.
• ATK% — gloves, ring and substats; skip flat ATK, his base is low at 1,487.
• SPD — 170–200+, or exactly tuned to your Clan Boss team.
• ACC — 200–250 for Clan Boss (with Great Hall), much less for Arena.
• Sets: Relentless first (extra turns plus his passive), then Savage, Cruel, Fatal.

Masteries and blessings

Take the Offense tree deep — the key picks are Pierce Defenses and Boss Slayer: one helps punch through heavy DEF, the other adds boss damage and pairs beautifully with the 5-hit A3. Fill the rest with survivability and Accuracy. For relics the site lists Malefic Talon, Irethi Coronet and The Cat's Gaze, all pushing him further as a damage dealer.

Tombs

Book A3 first — level 5 gives −1 cooldown, which means better uptime on Decrease DEF and Weaken. Then A2, also −1 cooldown, for more Turn Meter steals and hits. A1 last: it is damage only.

Verdict

A top-tier single-target damage dealer for Clan Boss — worth gearing and booking for that one-key potential. Everywhere else he is solid rather than universal.
