Guest after stamina rework

Guest (~600 P) moved into community discussion again after July 2026 balance chatter equalized stamina recovery and consumption — often cited as 10/10. That makes Guest one of the best characters for learning Stamina Management tempo, but it does not auto-promote the kit out of C tier.

Guest remains situational because Support / Disruptor value still loses to Doctor healing, Shielder peel, and Knight frontline wins in most pub lobbies. Buy Guest when you want mobile annoyance after fundamentals — not when you need your first paid carry. Full breakdown: Guest Guide.

Pair Guest with Shielder so your stamina skill translates into team wins, not solo flanks.
