Is Vessel Worth Unlocking?

If you enjoy aggressive close combat and high burst damage during awakening, Vessel is absolutely worth getting. The character has strong combo potential and can quickly dominate lobbies once you secure momentum. However, since the base HP is low, positioning and timing matter a lot. Players who rush without thinking may get punished easily. Unlock it once, master the combos, and Vessel can become one of the most dangerous characters in your lineup in Jump Showdown.
