Is Young Hector good?
Armored axe tank that's very hard to kill from any direction. Valiant War Axe cuts the foe's Atk and Def, slows their Special charge and takes 30% off every attack he receives, not only the first one, and Ostia's Heart adds Distant Counter, an Atk/Def-8 penalty on the foe and 7 HP back each time he lands a hit.
His Special, Armored Beacon, adds damage off his Def and can blunt the next hit from a ranged foe by 40% when a Special is ready. We place him at S.
Strengths
- Damage reduction works on every hit, not just the first
- Counters from any range and heals as he hits
- Vengeful Fighter 4 gives him enemy-phase follow-ups while stopping the foe's
- D/R Far Save 3 lets him take hits meant for allies from bows, daggers, tomes and staves
Weaknesses
- Slaying Hammer+, Randgríðr, Thani and other anti-armor weapons deal 1.5x damage
