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

Analysis

More of an all-in tank. He chips in some damage and a few debuffs, but he cannot be healed.

Pros

Huge barrier at the start of battle.

Hits pretty hard for a tank thanks to passives.

Can apply ATK down and defense down.

Leader skill is pretty good for physical fire teams.

Cons

Cannot be healed.

Needs a lot of turns to be useful other than just tanking.

Needs a revive in the team.
