Overview
Sampo is a 4★ Wind Nihility from Jarilo-VI, playing Sub-DPS in most teams. Wind Nihility DoT applicator who extends Wind Shear duration on enemies.
How to Play
Sampo wins by keeping debuffs rolling. Apply core debuffs with Skill or Ultimate before your carry acts, and build Effect Hit Rate so bosses cannot resist key effects. Stack damage-over-time effects before swapping to your burst window.
Optimal Rotation
Turn 1: Sampo Ultimate or Skill to land debuffs → swap to DPS while debuffs tick → refresh debuffs before expiry. Against bosses, prioritize Effect RES shred before damage dealers act.
Strengths
Sampo excels in Wind Nihility teams from Jarilo-VI. Flexible off-field value that frees Skill Points for your Main DPS. As a 4★, they punch above their rarity with the right investment.

Sampo struggles against high Effect RES or debuff-immune bosses. Without another debuff source, damage drops sharply.
