Free to get

Their pieces come from free sources, so this costs no pulls.

Analysis

A wisdom physical tank that can get some nice self P.DEF buffs. He is offensive oriented but still lack damage and also lack bulk overall.

Pros

Really good leader skill for Shanpia oriented teams.

Can deal with multiple enemies weaknesses.

Cons

Doesn't really have a lot of tank passives.

Gets some P.ATK buffs but half of his attacks are magic.

Extremely slow.

Unbalance himself with special.
