Is Midnight good?
Midnight can fight from range when he isn't blocking, letting him sit behind a
Defender or stronger
Guard and still contribute damage, though those ranged hits only do 80% of his melee output. Enchant Weapon α switches his attacks to Arts damage, working as a cheaper, more reliable version of
Lappland against enemies with high DEF and low RES.
He has the lowest DP cost of any Lord
Guard and is easy to fully level, but he never gets promoted past Elite 1.

Defender or

Profile
Midnight carries the title "the Demon King of Higashi". Midnight is a male Sarkaz (Vampire). His birthday is May 20th, and he stands 187 cm tall. Midnight is voiced by Ma Yang in Chinese, Alex Jordan in English, Takuya Satou in Japanese, and Kang Ho-chul in Korean.
Background
A former Vampire Sarkaz host from Higashi, Yoru used to be very popular among the ladies (more like a womanizer) back in his days, earning him the moniker "the Demon King of Higashi.
" After contracting Oripathy thanks to a jealous rival host's machinations, he left the nightlife and went to Rhodes Island for treatment.
As a member of Op Reserve Team A6 under the codename "Midnight", Yoru proves himself to be a surprisingly competent combatant through his swordsmanship skills.
Amusingly, Yoru's charm sees little effect during his times with R.
I. , especially towards his superior Orchid.
But despite his charm and laid-back attitude, he has been wishing to pay a visit to his bed-ridden father to put down his past burden that severed their relationship.
Blade of the Midnight Lord: Quite a few Operators might find it hard to believe, but Midnight's swordsmanship really is as he describes it, "both glistering and elegant.
" When he earnestly takes the enemy, his swordhand can be overwhelming for those lacking Originium Arts resistance.
Just have his squadmates draw the enemy to a position best suited to his offensive, and you can kick back and watch his show.
