Analysis

A DPS that gets stronger the longer the battle is. He needs to play a lot in order to stack P.ATK buffs and unleash his good damage dealing special. However, he needs a lot of setup turns and due to his limited runes, getting special takes a lot of time and his average DPS is really low while using only auto attack.

Pros

Can buff an ally's P.ATK & P.DEF.

Can AoE (Horizontal) debuff P.DEF.

Special has a lot of hits for easier breaks.

Has parries & counters.

Can buff P.ATK of back ally.

Cons

ATK stats are really low.

Takes long to fully stack P.ATK buffs.

P.DEF debuff is random.

Low DPS outside of special.

Attack skill rune has limited uses so will charge special really slowly at some point.

Needs to be the one to unbalance enemies to activate buffs.
