He's decent, but not too much as a nuker, but moreso as a support unit. In the damage dealer sense, he's outclassed by other Dark nukers, like DPS Kranus, Lico, and Savei (in Guild Raid). Their base DPS exceeds his, given their high parameter boosting SP options and double / triple AoEs in their BBs/SBBs.

As a support unit, he's able to provide heavy OD fill, as he combines both burst OD fill and OD fill over time in his kit. He's able to provide a tristat boost and EWD-addition buff, allowing him to be slotted into virtually any squad, and his Extra Skill - the 10% parameter boost portion - is special because it affects the whole squad.

Shion was great because you were pretty much able to spam his UBB every 3-4 turns as long as he was on your squad - he was able to singlehandedly fill the OD gauge - allowing you to get complete mitigation althroughout. However, 100% mitigation was nerfed over time, in the sense that the game started to introduce mitigation piercing content. It's still kinda useful nowadays, given how 100% damage mitigation is usable in, say, Dichroma Raid, where Evasion is pierced through, but it's fairly situational in other pieces of content.

TLDR: Outclassed as a nuker, useful as a support, albeit to an extent.

I hope this helped! (owo)/
