Analysis
Review
Jihoon is a sniper who has pretty low damage but provides tons of utility to the team.
In PVE he's mostly used as a buffer or in Shadow Palace to perma seal enemies there (they're not bosses, so it works on them). If only his passive skill worked on bosses he would be perfect for Guild Coop, but sadly it only silences normal enemies.
In PVP he can be used to counter A.Yuna and other frontline skill-heavy units because he can perma seal their skills which makes them far easier to kill. He also blinds, removing hitstun from the enemy frontline's attacks. Also, his backline enhanced attack deals pretty well with Snipers like Replacer Queen that love to hide behind everyone else.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- blind and silence on his basic attack,
- buffs ally Rangers and Snipers, which makes him useful in Raids,
- a counter to Awakened Yuna, Awakened Shiyoon, Awakened Na Yubin, and Replacer Queen.
Cons
- low damage, which makes his backline attack pure debuff,
- in PVP he is good only in soldier teams.
