Is Edward Kenway good?
A Banner Lords Assassin built around Perfect Veil, which makes his effects irresistible. His passive gives each hit a chance to Ensnare the target (blocking any Turn Meter gains), adds damage against Ensnared enemies and spreads Ensnare plus a Turn Meter cut when he gets a kill. His A2 hits all enemies twice, stealing buffs, pushing Turn Meters back and placing Sleep, even through Block Debuffs on a crit, while his A3 veils him and fellow Assassins and fires a single-target nuke that ignores Shield, 
Stoneskin and Block Damage, then Blocks Revive if it kills.
His A1 cuts Turn Meter (more on a crit), which helps against Dark Fae and Fire Knight, and Arena and dungeons suit him best.
