Medium

A solid gain, once the higher priorities are covered.

Analysis

One of the best tank due to many things. Has high P.DEF & HP and gets a lot of defensive buffs during the battle.

Pros

Has self HP recover and P.DEF buffs.

Provide some defensive buffs to back ally.

Can hit multiple enemies (Horizontal) with melee & fire.

Cons

Leader skill is really good but limited to a tag.
