notes

​

DB12 (8/10): He has a similar role in Dragons B12 in GB12. 

 

NB12 (1/10): He doesn't have enough multi hits to break through the boss' shield.

​

SF10 (8/10): His ATK bar pushback is good to keep the boss from moving in Steel Fortress B10.

​

PC10 (0/10): ATK bar pushback is not effective in Punisher Crypt B10.

​

ToA (5/10): He his good for boss stages (10 to stop them from moving. 

​

Rift of Worlds (0/10): He is not recommended here.

​

Labyrinth (6/10): He can be used in some niche stages to stop the enemies from moving. 

​

Dimensional Hole (7/10): He is good in the elemental restriction stages.

​

Arena (6/10): He can be used in a slow cleave team with his ATK bar pushback. 

​

Guild Wars (9/10): His ability to disrupt speed turns makes him great for Offense and Defense teams.
