Is Enigma good?
Enigma is a sustain whose Bastion shield is about the strongest defensive tool in the game, and unusually for a healer he also hands out Crit DMG, damage dealt, Incantation Might and Reality damage buffs, plus damage reduction that holds up in harder endgame content.
He cycles his own Moxie without help. His Array clashes with some meta teams, and half his buffs scale with Dynamo or Dynamo characters.
Pairs well with: 
Charon.
