Free to get

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

Analysis

A really good tanky wisdom unit. Passives and stats are almost the same as his other versions, so he can be put in front to take sword hits and buff himself at low HP. He can heal the team as well.

Pros

Extremely tanky. Has really good defensive stats & passives.

Heal is AoE (horizontal).

Heal passive at 50% HP becomes AoE.

Brings revive in his kit.

Can heal beyond max HP.

Cons

Has no x2 wisdom, where his other styles get x2 combat or x2 sword.

Damage can be pretty low if not hitting weakness.
