Analysis

He's a weird mix of DEF buffer and attacker but both of his utilty are kinda bad overall.

Pros

Offer some DEF buffs on ally in critical condition.

Has some ATK buffs and can trigger fury.

Cons

Buff more himself than allies.

Physical attacks on wisdom attribute is really niche.

Wants a full team of wisdom characters.
