•He has a strong base defense.
•He gains resistance on awakening and has a useful resistance leader skill.
•He has good debuffs for raids.
Weakness:

RANKING
GB12 (4/10): Dias is great for breaking into Early Giant's B12 with good survival rates.
DB12 (4/10): He has a similar role in Dragon's B10 as in GB10, you really would only use him in your early teams.
NB12 (0/10): He is not recommended here since he doesn't have any multi hits for the boss' shield.
ToA (0/10): He has no real use here.
Rift of Worlds (10/10): Dias shines in R5 due to his passive which reduces damage dealt to your team. He's a staple to nearly every Raid team.

Dimensional Hole (0/10): He is not recommended here.
Arena (0/10): He serves no purpose here.
Guild Wars (3/10): He can be used in some early team comps.
