Free to get

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

Analysis

A really good free buffer for fire teams. Offer damage buffs to fire dps so they can deal more damage over the time.

Pros

Free character.

Can help breaking melee weakness enemies easily.

Has a good leader skill.

Cons

Low special regen if not using a SPD accessory.

Self damage can be kinda low and RNG based.

Buff is only for front ally.
