What is Shadow Meso?

First of all, it hits hard.

Second of all, number of hits has nothing whatsoever to do with how much DPS a class can do. In this specific example, sure, L7 > SM, but it has some potential in my opinion.

I always thought more hits = higher chances of landing critical

I just feel that by the time you max it, probably around 80 (if you skip avenger and FJ) and by then you can just hold down a button at newties.
