✅ Strengths

• Versatile lancer leader/semi tank with debuffs, crowd control, and damage.

• Great for arena and rally compositions with mixed resistances.

❌ Weaknesses

• Not as strong in pure solo PvE modes like Bear Hunt compared to niche heroes; described by some players as "not optimal for guild events".

🎯 How to Obtain

• Primarily via Lucky Wheel and Foundry Shop shards and event rewards.

🧠 F2P vs P4W Recommendation

• F2P: Good pick from the wheel for utility but low priority compared to marksmen/tank.

• P4W: Solid secondary build if you want a control oriented lancer in your roster.
