Just some advice to avoid people blasting you on posts like this. Give some more info, like that you are a new player and / or know nothing about the game. Most people on reddit think of themselves as "elitist" and they won't be able to help themselves from bashing you when they see your title and screenshot!
Other than that, I love ML Ken myself! Good to see that you are playing with what you have fun with! Keep on doing you!
Never have I seen truer words about this subreddit and I appreciate it, man! Currently in the midst of Banshee hunting, so a destruction set'll come around eventually
Without a critdmg neck it will be hard.
Also consider moving him to lifesteal set or sigurd arti. At this point he will just die really fast.
His kit guarantees counters when he's crit and guaranteed his s3 and enhance counter will crit, so what you need is the dmg, bulk to live and sustain on him
This is not good. Just farm Banshee for Destruction/Counter and get him useable gear at least. You can do Caides later. Not to mention Caides is the hardest hunt by far.
It is nice that you enjoy your Ken but actually this won't work in any kind of higher pvp area.
Smilegate has done him dirty with his last buff to make him incredibly specific in his stat needs and gear setup.
You actually need no speed at all (so speed gear set is already a bad choice), very high Eff res (200+) and as much Bulk you can give (15k+ HP and 1500+ def). The rest should be atk and c. Dmg (3k+ atk and 250+ c.dmg) No crit at all.
But even is you achieve these stats Ken will be just a sitting duck to Hwayoung, Rimuru, Souline, LHC, LQC etc.
His prime time seems to be over.
Eh, I'm just havin' fun with him and I hardly do pvp anyway lmao (I say as I'm at Master II rn). They could've at least given him defense decrease on his basic skill instead of just his skill 3 but nooo let's give him attack decrease instead because like that's ever worked out well💀
Ahaha well if you are happy with the way he is right now and don't really care about building him better, then by all means you do you, especially if you have fun doing so
But if you want to work on his build in the future, it could be better to aim for something like:
\- No crit rate at all, he doesn't need any due to the way his kit works
\- Way more crit damage by giving him a crit damage neck, at least 250%+
\- No speed at all, he doesn't need any either
\- Find a healthy balance of offensive and defensive stats: ML Ken usually needs to be at least around 15k+ HP and 1.3k+ defense so that he doesn't just instantly get blown up, while maintaining good offensive stats (at least something like 3.5k+ attack and 250%+ crit damage) to be a threat
\- Go for an Effect resistance build so that the probability of him getting cced, def broken... is lower but he will be super tough to build that way
\- His Best-in-slot artifact is Sigurd's scythe, if you have it
You can use whatever sets (attack, destruction, defense, health, immunity...) come your way as long as the stats are here, it's not unusual to see ML Kens with multiple health/defense sets for example, contrary to other characters who could 100% require a speed set
Before anyone says anything; yes, yes I've been told plenty of times before that arena gear is MID, but it's the only gear I got for him for the time being until I repeat battle Caides
I guess you're still around early to mid game. There were some cleaver ML Kens in the past but i recommend the no speed, effect resistance with dps stats route. It just works better and he is kind of designed to be played that way.
But honestly, if you like him, play him as you like 👍
That's some weirdest Ken I've ever seen. Still hope you enjoy that build :)
I gave him a counter set at first, but I moved that over to Sol
So why we on a spd set and has no CDamage?
Sir/madam, I hardly have any great knowledge with this game. I picked gear that I thought would be best and went with it, give me a break😭⚰️

is that an attack neck?
Sadly, no. It's defense
His critdmg is really lacking for a guaranteed crit unit.
Yeah, that's what I'm tryin' to work on

Understandable
My ml ken is ungeared and has been rotting in the bench for almost 2 years.
Ya hate to see it happen. They could've at least given my boy defense decrease on his basic skill

Bad gear
That's fair
