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

Analysis

A frontline sword support whose skills are all AoE, so he can work on several enemies at once. He needs someone to clear the unbalance he starts with, and he is up against a deep bench of sword and lightning gacha units. Can also use the Balance rune to bypass the unbalance at battle start.

Pros

All skills are AoE, so he can break several enemies at once.

Cons

Needs to be used with a character removing unbalance (like Lei).

Competes with a lot of good sword and lightning gacha characters.

Tagged as a frontline support, but his defense stats are pretty low.
