Analysis

Maas is a really good support character, allowing his physical allies to quickly end battles with the battle start buff he provides to the front and ability to debuff DEF as well on special.

Pros

Provides a lot of physical buffs to the front row at battle start.

Can debuff DEF on special.

Can't be dispelled twice.

Cons

Utility falls on long battles.

Special is single target.
