Performance
Scharnhorst is a strong Damage over Time (DoT) Senki with her unique DoT [Fire] debuff. Scharnhorst's [Fire] is the only  [Fire] in the game that can jump from target to target, making her  [Fire] deals full damage for its entire duration, all while she shoots (Even from outside of far range) more guaranteed  [Fire] on enemies, leading to some spectacular damage numbers popping on your screen every second. Although the Skill 2's main salvo damage debuff seems like a penalty, it is in fact a blessing in disguise. Scharnhorst cannot inflict [Fire] on dead enemies, so her weaker salvo damage helps guarantee that the enemy is afflicted with  [Fire] before going down in flames and transferring the  [Fire] to the next enemy. Coupled with her torpedoes, Scharnhorst can deal massive damage against the enemy, making her one of the best damage dealers in game. To maximise her [Fire] damage, it is best to use her in the Burning Fleet with the Infinite Flame Tactic.
