[Shinsu Picture] Augusgus
Rankings
Irregular
Irregular
Augusgus has insane damage, higher than all the other ATK scaling units currently in the game. Survivability is good, he has decent grouping, and he has a crazy number of debuffs at his disposal. They exaggerated a bit too much with his kit, basically defining a whole new standard for ATK scaling units. He might eventually fall off, but that is not going to happen any time soon.

Notes
El is the best IW for Augusgus, especially after the recent buff, increasing both his damage and survivability.
If you are in a matchup where he is going to get hit frequently, Rafflesia or Bari could be better picks.

Unit Synergies
Augusgus debuffs increase Hugo's damage a lot, making them a pretty good pair.
Basic Teams
These are just example teams and are by no means the best possible combinations. We avoid using units that are not easily obtainable or common.
Mono-Color Team
It's not the best, but it's a budget team that should allow you to push quite a bit.
Asensio would be a good frontline unit, if R5, and could take Hugo's place. Donghae Hatz or Shibisu could also be used as a replacement, but they might struggle a bit more with survivability.
Multi-Color Team
Not the best, but a fairly cheap one to build, there are multiple improvements you can make if you have access to units like Elite Spy Xia Xia, Towa, Albelda etc.
