I’m not a veteran/champ Revenant and still learning the class mechanics.

I can the see tremendous advantage of Mallyx but what I don’t understand is why Shiro is favored over Glint.

What’s so good about Shiro? Is it the gap closer and quickness?

Teleport and quickness

especially if you are power rev, quickness with sword spam is crazy dps. And teleport is very useful for alot of maps with terrain abuse like Khylo

An instant stunbreak that evades and regains stamina.
A gap closer that also gives 5 seconds to pierce blocks.
An instant quickness and superspeed to escape, quick finish or quick rez
An elite that recharges fast, has bigger, harder to see stun that also better to trigger the burning elite trait.

The only downside is the healing.

Yeah the gap closer/teleport plus quickness. Looks like you already know the upsides. The healing isn’t great but that’s the only advantage Glint has imo.

  • Quickness for stomping and rezzing
  • Teleport for chasing which also gives you unblockable attacks for use against the tank meta
  • Disengage/evade/stun break which gives you 50 endurance as well
  • Heal with a fast cast time which also gives you more damage
  • AoE stun which is great for interrupting and burning with auto-attack, not used much but is amazing in certain situations

Pretty obvious why people take Shiro

It’s not 5 seconds of unblockable attacks, it’s 2 seconds of unblockable attacks. When using something like the sword auto that’s like 6k-8k though, or the staff 5 where the first 2 will knock them out of their block.

Im still of opinion that,malyx is no good and has obvious weaknes that can be used against them.
Why ESL teams didnt counter this still is beyond me.
Maybe they have special incentive for runing 2x rev as to sell more HoT?

Im prety sure this is not best comp and they are saving reall one for later, more important matches.

Mostly for really good stunbreak that synergizes too well with Stability traits. Then for shadowstep on low cd and Quickness access for stomping.
