Analysis

Great physical tank you can use to deal with physical bosses even when not resisting the type/element.

Pros

Lot of self-defense buffs and great survivability.

High speed lets him buff before enemies act.

Has an AoE defense debuff on his special.

Cons

Adds nothing to team overall damage.
