Analysis

Pretty good buffer that can buff atk & speed for allies. Synergize well with characters who can debuff speed.

Pros

AoE debuff M.DEF on special.

AoE speed buff (horizontal) is uncommon.

The more the enemies, the stronger his ATK buff for allies.

Will 100% dodge attacks 4 times per battle. So he can technically be put in front if your DPS are in front (but loses a passive).

Has self-sustain passive.

Cons

Loses a lot of effectiveness against single target battles.

Self-damage are kinda inexistant.
