Is Ryuji Sakamoto good?

Ryuji Sakamoto (Skull) is a single-target Physical Assassin who's easy to build and play: his Skill 3 charges for a turn, then lands a huge hit that's a guaranteed crit while he's under 75% HP, so he effectively acts every other turn.

He wants to stay at low HP, so HP healers work against him while shielders suit him, and Leo's HP-to-shield conversion is the classic pairing. Keeping him low is risky.

Pairs well with: Leo Kamiyama.
