He is a thicc duelist capable of leader-level damage output for a decent price. He suffers a bit when compared to other fighters as he doesn't really bring anything to the table outside of being a lighter version of the Dominar. Again trades an attack for +1 crit damage (not even Stregnth this time). Not worth it. Take Drillmaster over this every time.
