Is Valentine's Gustav good?
Armored axe tank whose refined weapon guards the whole team, not just himself. Loyalist Axe lays Divine Vein (Stone) tiles after he acts (and, in Aether Raids, when enemy phase begins) and gives allies in a wide 3-row, 3-column zone stat bonuses, flat damage reduction and Preempt Pulse.
In his own fights it drops the foe's Atk and Def based on his Def and cuts damage hard when the foe could double him. He can't counter at range, though, so ranged units can chip at him while he plods toward them.
Strengths
- Team-wide stats and damage reduction
- Divine Vein (Stone) tiles protect allies
- Huge damage cut against foes that would double him
- Crafty Fighter 3 gives enemy-phase follow-ups
- D/R Near Save 3 lets him cover allies from melee attacks
Weaknesses
- No Distant Counter, so ranged foes can kite him
- Armored movement unless teammates add mobility
- Randgríðr and other anti-armor weapons hit him for 1.5x
