They need reason to ensure him sell good, after all; whoever new player who rolls for him would like to know if he can carry until at least LB III, just to be sure.

I myself find his mechanics starts showing problematic starting from LB II.

During, Anastasia he is OK-ish because her base damage is low so he still have chance to survive. Then it comes Sigurd, Valkyrie and Surtr battle, that 'you better keep HP high than regreting it later'.

SIN is just the worst, especially old man Li and Emperor.

I tried borrow him to see if I could do good under a standard foolproof crit-build (Waver + Hans also Mozart) but nope, 9/6/9 NP 1 is somewhat difficult to finish second bar (he is in front).

Merlin might be able to do it. Too bad I don't have Merlin. Also surviving their blow, trying with Merlin himself, expecting 8 CD Illusion will keep him stand firm, with GoA depends on whether the third member can reliably cover defense part as he can't get into 100% that fast on such condition.

Easily making J. Alter (who owns invul. and NP regen), Lobo, MHXA and Atalanta Alter (Skadi) more favorable for both frontline and backline as they can kill two bar with ease.

So yeah, he need something to keep him good even at high HP if he wanted to stay relevant for both frontline and backline. Not his fault, say thanks to DW throwing 12k crits regularly lately
