Is Winter Ephraim good?
Armored solo attacker. Festive Siegmund and Atk/Def Solo 3 together give him +10 Atk/Def and +4 Spd/Res when no ally is adjacent, and Bold Fighter 3 grants a guaranteed follow-up plus faster Special charging when he attacks, which helps get the 4-cooldown Dragon Fang going.
The solo condition clashes a little with Armor March, which needs him next to an armored ally when the turn begins, so using both means shuffling positions every turn. We rate him B.
Strengths

- Guaranteed follow-up on player phase
- Faster Dragon Fang charging
- Close Guard 3 protects nearby allies from melee
Weaknesses
- Solo condition conflicts with Armor March positioning
- Armor-effective weapons like Armorslayer+ can one-shot him
