Is Goro Akechi good?

Akechi works as a sub-DPS: he banks up the damage his allies deal and cashes it in on his own turn, and his Almighty attacks cover two attributes.

The catch is timing, because he needs the rest of the party to act and set things up before he does much. Even when he takes the Mastermind slot, his banked damage still trails other Assassins and Sweepers, which is why we have him at B.

Pairs well with: Full Sweeper Fire Team; Full Sweeper Curse Team.

Strengths
