A Complete Rating Guide To Strikers™ Soccer Spirits
(Updated 8th November 2016)
This rating guide aims to provide my personal, subjective opinions on 5* and above strikers that are special trained to 7*.
All ratings/descriptions are based on 7* players.
Feel free to provide your insights*
Let me know if there is any striker that you would like me to rate and add to this guide =)
Strikers being rated:
Ardor: Sharr, William (Legendary), Jean, Bora
Whirlwind: Beatrice, Kirin, Shanti
Thunder: Blade, Leventor (Legendary), Griffith, Guinevere, MX82 Vann, EA08 Vayne (Special Card)
Light: Hiro, Uriel, Latios, Vonchi (Legendary)
Dark: Lucid, Ravian, Vitos
*Kyoko & Damien will be added in future. Needs more experience with using them.
Information Provided For Each Striker:
1) My Rating (S, A, B, C); S being the best, C being the worst
2) Brief Description
3) Skill-Build (PvE, PvP)
4) Spirit Stone Placement Recommendations
5) Recommended Synergy (Assist/Totem)
A Brief Overview of the Current State of Endgame Environment
The purpose of this overview is to provide players with a better understanding of the ratings given in this guide.
It explains the current state of endgame environment and relates to the ability of a striker to fulfill its purpose.
Purpose of a striker
To facilitate the reduction of the HP of the goalkeeper to zero.
Colosseum of Despair (CoD) Season 5
Goalkeepers no longer heal when attacked.
This brings about the return of utility strikers (Ravian, Kirin etc.)
OHKO Sharr/Shanti still works up to CoD 55.
Same goes for Ravian/Kirin.
PvP (Endgame)
Penetration Power is nerfed, no longer penetrates the defense stat.
This means that the OHKO meta is hardly existent with the exception of a few good teams.
Most end game teams use Angela/Black Tortoise with high damage reduction.
This is aligned with the nerf of penetration power + the rise of penetration power debuff skills/totems (Lucifer, Altair, Duran, Angela)
Fully built endgame strikers shoot them for 500~800 critical damage (w/ pass).
Popular frontline players/totems includes Elaine, Milky Way, Linmay, Choi, Veronica, Silla.
Critical resistance backline with alice x silk (65% + 95% critical resistance buff) can easily buff GK crit. resist up to 270% or more.
The current meta for backline is penetration power debuff x critical resistance.
The current meta for frontline is damage inflicted increase (Elaine + EBM + Ardor critical damage stones).
Weather Immunity Discussion:
The most desired weather immunity for an striker is Soul Grave Immunity.
Soul Grave weather makes the spirits required for an active skill to be 200% of its original requirement.
Without soul grave immunity, it makes it harder to do an active pass > active shoot combo
More time will be required to gather spirits where time is the most precious commodity in the game.
If your striker is a 1.5 bar striker, it will make it impossible to do the combo.
A Look into the Important Stats For A Striker:
Dribble: Determines the base damage of a shot from a striker, before taking into consideration damage reduction of goalkeeper
Critical Rate: Determines if the striker crits on his shot
Critical Damage: Determines the % of the base damage (After taking into account damage reduction) added for a critical shot
Penetration Power: Reduce the effectiveness of the goalkeeper damage reduction
Steal: Determines the base damage of a steal from your striker/frontline players on enemy backline (Important for Utility Strikers)
Reflex: Determines the chances of a counter-attack by your striker/frontline players on enemy backline (Important for Utility Strikers)
Ardor
> Sharr, The Pulverizer™ (S)
Brief Description (Based on 7* with rerolled Light slot):
OHKO PvE striker.
Strong PvP raw damage striker with elaine x ebm x ardor critical damage stones.
1.5 bar spirit required for active
Has one of the highest damage in-game w/o the use of active
Ignores the elemental disadvantage against dark goalkeepers.
High critical rate from Extreme & Active skill.
Lacks penetration power but makes up for it with damage inflicted increase passives.
S rating for PvE, S rating for PvP
Thoughts on 6* Sharr (S-):
Loses to 7* sharr w/ light slot due to lower PvE damage from being unable to equip SoB
Lower critical rate in PvP due to inability to equip WoM from light slot compared to 7* sharr w/ light slot
S- rating for PVE, S rating for PvP

> William, The God of Fire™ (S)
Brief Description (Based on 7* with rerolled light slot):
The legendary striker for Ardor.
Has action bar recover utility that synergizes with WoM.
Only player in game that can recover 80% AB with an attack (legendary status)
Very high critical damage & decent critical rate
Has good chance to 1v1 goalkeeper if defender is killed and ball is retrieved and passed back to him fast.
Lacks penetration power and average critical rate.
Without active, reliable high damage, high critical rate (~190% or so)
S rating for PvP, S- Rating for PvE.
Thoughts on 6* William (A+):
Inability to equip WoM means he only recovers 35% AB which is insufficient to OP.
No SoB means he cannot OHKO CoT 5-4 Lucian.
PvE and PvP ability drops significantly.

Thanks for reading =)
(Updated 8th November 2016)
This rating guide aims to provide my personal, subjective opinions on 5* and above strikers that are special trained to 7*.
All ratings/descriptions are based on 7* players.
Feel free to provide your insights*
Let me know if there is any striker that you would like me to rate and add to this guide =)
Strikers being rated:
Ardor: Sharr, William (Legendary), Jean, Bora
Whirlwind: Beatrice, Kirin, Shanti
Thunder: Blade, Leventor (Legendary), Griffith, Guinevere, MX82 Vann, EA08 Vayne (Special Card)
Light: Hiro, Uriel, Latios, Vonchi (Legendary)
Dark: Lucid, Ravian, Vitos
*Kyoko & Damien will be added in future. Needs more experience with using them.
Information Provided For Each Striker:
1) My Rating (S, A, B, C); S being the best, C being the worst
2) Brief Description
3) Skill-Build (PvE, PvP)
4) Spirit Stone Placement Recommendations
5) Recommended Synergy (Assist/Totem)
A Brief Overview of the Current State of Endgame Environment
The purpose of this overview is to provide players with a better understanding of the ratings given in this guide.
It explains the current state of endgame environment and relates to the ability of a striker to fulfill its purpose.
Purpose of a striker
To facilitate the reduction of the HP of the goalkeeper to zero.
Colosseum of Despair (CoD) Season 5
Goalkeepers no longer heal when attacked.
This brings about the return of utility strikers (Ravian, Kirin etc.)
OHKO Sharr/Shanti still works up to CoD 55.
Same goes for Ravian/Kirin.
PvP (Endgame)
Penetration Power is nerfed, no longer penetrates the defense stat.
This means that the OHKO meta is hardly existent with the exception of a few good teams.
Most end game teams use Angela/Black Tortoise with high damage reduction.
This is aligned with the nerf of penetration power + the rise of penetration power debuff skills/totems (Lucifer, Altair, Duran, Angela)
Fully built endgame strikers shoot them for 500~800 critical damage (w/ pass).
Popular frontline players/totems includes Elaine, Milky Way, Linmay, Choi, Veronica, Silla.
Critical resistance backline with alice x silk (65% + 95% critical resistance buff) can easily buff GK crit. resist up to 270% or more.
The current meta for backline is penetration power debuff x critical resistance.
The current meta for frontline is damage inflicted increase (Elaine + EBM + Ardor critical damage stones).
Weather Immunity Discussion:
The most desired weather immunity for an striker is Soul Grave Immunity.
Soul Grave weather makes the spirits required for an active skill to be 200% of its original requirement.
Without soul grave immunity, it makes it harder to do an active pass > active shoot combo
More time will be required to gather spirits where time is the most precious commodity in the game.
If your striker is a 1.5 bar striker, it will make it impossible to do the combo.
A Look into the Important Stats For A Striker:
Dribble: Determines the base damage of a shot from a striker, before taking into consideration damage reduction of goalkeeper
Critical Rate: Determines if the striker crits on his shot
Critical Damage: Determines the % of the base damage (After taking into account damage reduction) added for a critical shot
Penetration Power: Reduce the effectiveness of the goalkeeper damage reduction
Steal: Determines the base damage of a steal from your striker/frontline players on enemy backline (Important for Utility Strikers)
Reflex: Determines the chances of a counter-attack by your striker/frontline players on enemy backline (Important for Utility Strikers)
Ardor
> Sharr, The Pulverizer™ (S)Brief Description (Based on 7* with rerolled Light slot):
OHKO PvE striker.
Strong PvP raw damage striker with elaine x ebm x ardor critical damage stones.
1.5 bar spirit required for active
Has one of the highest damage in-game w/o the use of active
Ignores the elemental disadvantage against dark goalkeepers.
High critical rate from Extreme & Active skill.
Lacks penetration power but makes up for it with damage inflicted increase passives.
S rating for PvE, S rating for PvP
Thoughts on 6* Sharr (S-):
Loses to 7* sharr w/ light slot due to lower PvE damage from being unable to equip SoB
Lower critical rate in PvP due to inability to equip WoM from light slot compared to 7* sharr w/ light slot
S- rating for PVE, S rating for PvP

> William, The God of Fire™ (S)Brief Description (Based on 7* with rerolled light slot):
The legendary striker for Ardor.
Has action bar recover utility that synergizes with WoM.
Only player in game that can recover 80% AB with an attack (legendary status)
Very high critical damage & decent critical rate
Has good chance to 1v1 goalkeeper if defender is killed and ball is retrieved and passed back to him fast.
Lacks penetration power and average critical rate.
Without active, reliable high damage, high critical rate (~190% or so)
S rating for PvP, S- Rating for PvE.
Thoughts on 6* William (A+):
Inability to equip WoM means he only recovers 35% AB which is insufficient to OP.
No SoB means he cannot OHKO CoT 5-4 Lucian.
PvE and PvP ability drops significantly.

Recovers ~80% AB after each shoot and can steal for high damage to kill backline defender to get the ball back
