Is Summer Gaius good?
Summer Gaius can lean into Def Ploy 3 to weaken nearby foes' Def before a fight even starts, and Refreshing Bolt+ adds a small all-around stat boost as long as he's at full HP. Building him offensively with a heavier bow and stacked speed skills can push his damage further, and a Null Follow-Up skill locks in his own follow-ups while denying the enemy's.
His natural Attack is low for a bow unit though, and his Def is thin enough that he goes down easily, which keeps him at D tier.
Strengths
- Def Ploy 3 weakens nearby foes before combat
- Refreshing Bolt+ adds a stat boost at full HP
- Can be built offensively with inherited skills for more damage
Weaknesses
- Low Attack for a bow unit
- Low Def makes him easy to knock out
