Is The Cowardly Lion good?
The August 2026 fusion from Echoes of Oz, a damage dealer scaling off DEF who turns Fear against the enemy. Any attempt to fear him lets him use his skills anyway, reset his cooldowns and grab an Extra Turn, and his A2 lands a two-turn True Fear that his passive makes more likely to work. His A3 gives the team Counterattack and Fervor, and together with Reflect Damage those extra hits strip Fire Knight's shield and Mercurial Total Guard stacks quickly.
His A1 needs long fights like Hydra or Faction Wars to ramp, and counter damage matters less once your team relies on one hyper carry.
Strengths
- Immune to losing turns to Fear
- Two-turn AoE True Fear
- An easy-to-get team Counterattack
- Great against Fire Knight and Total Guard
- DEF scaling saves ATK gear for others
Weaknesses
- Reflect damage is weak in most PvE
- Team Counterattack damage falls off late
- Chimera's Ram Form gains Turn Meter when Fear triggers
