End-game tester, 800+ hours in-game, Diamond rank. Every build is tested under real conditions before publishing. Specializes in min-maxing across genres — MMO tank and healer rotations, ARPG and gacha stat optimization, hero-shooter team comps — with a particular focus on how a meta actually shifts patch to patch, not just what topped the chart last season. Cross-checks every ranking against community consensus before calling anything S-tier.
