Pros and cons
Pros
- The base moveset has slightly low cooldowns and short, strong combos.
- A ratio stagger gives an edge in M1 trades: on the leg it limits the enemy's aggression, on the arm it makes passive play harder.
- Reverse Kick and Stabilize work as decent neutral tools, and delaying the back kick in combos for an M1 reset is safe and rewarding against a target with no counter.
- You can combo into the awakening, which gives easy access to a one-shot move.
Cons
- Ratio Point is not purely timing-based, and its visible and audible cues let targets avoid contact until it ends.
- Staggering only works on an enemy that can act, who can then also dash away or counter.
- There are punish windows, such as after Blunt Cut or Cross Cut.
- Ratio Breaker's final stage is hard to reach, and the opponent may already be dead before then.
- Interrogate's first-hit knockback makes the follow-up dash impossible to land without a wall.
About Salaryman
Kento Nanami, the overworked grade 1 sorcerer of Jujutsu Kaisen, is the model for Salaryman. It is a full character (base moveset plus the Overtime awakening), free for every player, added in V1.69 with the standard 100 HP.
Everything hangs on Ratio Point, a special with a 5 second cooldown and a 70 stud reach. Press again when the circle crosses the 7:3 line and the target stays marked for 4.5 seconds. A mark upgrades most of the kit: Cleaving Whirlwind rises from 12 to 16 damage, Blunt Cut from 9 to 13, and the last neutral M1 adds a Black Flash that doubles damage and knockback. The base cooldowns are on the low side (Stabilize 12 seconds, Severance Kick 14, the other two 16), and the wiki lists slightly low cooldowns and short, strong combos among its strengths.
Overtime heals 25 HP, lasts 60 seconds, raises the M1 string to 18 damage and unlocks Ratio Breaker, four stages on a 19 second cooldown. Its last stage hits for 35, or 105 on a marked target. The wiki lists the weak points plainly: Ratio Point gives off visible and audible cues, so careful opponents can avoid contact until it ends, and Blunt Cut and Cross Cut leave punish windows.
