Greetings y’all…

Could someone please advise which offensive and defensive focus stat for the below champs:

7* unawakened Odin
7* unawakened Shocker

Thank you.

Not sure about Odin, but for Shocker I’m going with Armor Penetration and Special Damage. He doesn’t crit and his big damage is on his heavy, not his specials, so I figured armor penetration would help the most. And on defense, you don’t really need block penetration because it’s his unblockable that’s the threat and the chance to get clipped by his specials.

I tested increased critical hit and armor penetration on the shocker.
As incredible as it may seem, the increase in critical strike caused him to deal more damage.
Critical Hit Increase: 240,000 on the heavy's last attack.
Armor Penetration: 234,000 on the heavy's last attack.

I don't understand very well, logically 11% armor penetration should increase damage more than 1% more critical strike. But apparently the Shocker started reducing armor instead of gaining armor penetration with critical hit rate. This may have made this armor penetration attribute useless for him, it shouldn't work like armor break which can make armor negative, maybe if there is no armor, armor penetration won't do anything.

Yeah you are right about the critical rating, have him r2

150 charges do 456k damage and before crit rating it was 436k

Awesome, appreciate the heads up! I know his crit stats tie into armor reduction in his base kit, but I figured the direct armor reduction stat focus would be more effective. I’ll swap mine over. Critical Rating, right? Not Critical Damage Rating?
