Analysis

A mix of physical tank and dps. His passives buff his P.ATK & P.DEF allowing him to contribute to overall team damage while taking physical attacks pretty well and occasionally magical attacks.

Pros

Has a lot of survivability due to his passives.

Special deals a lot of damage.

Can tank both physical and magical thanks to his rune skill.

Can redirect attacks on him.

Cons

Would need healing support since he will take more attacks than other tanks against hybrid enemies groups.

Really slow while P.ATK buffs are locked behind special use and killing an enemy.
