Is Young Ike good?
Sword fighter whose weapon rewards keeping friends close. Sturdy War 
Sword gives him stats, and with an attack-based Special equipped it adds more as allies gather within 4 spaces: a Special pre-charge of half his cooldown with one ally, first-hit damage reduction with two, and Null Follow-Up with three.
His Duo Skill hits every foe in a 5-row, 5-column area with Atk/Spd-7, two extra Special cooldown counts and Guard, which usually shuts off their Specials for a turn. Radiant Aether suits him best, because Specials like Galeforce that don't fire on his attacks switch the weapon's bonuses off.
Strengths
- Duo Skill stalls enemy Specials across a large area
- Special pre-charge from nearby allies
- Null Follow-Up with three allies close by
Weaknesses
- Weapon needs allies within 4 spaces
- Can't use Specials like Galeforce without losing weapon effects
- Cleansing or a refresh undoes the Duo Skill's Special delay
