Is Pioneer good?
Pioneer is a free 3-star Spirit unit who can shift his own position, and his buffs change with his position: crit bonuses at the front, damage bonus and reduction in the middle, then more defense and healing, and damage reflection at the back.
His customizable ultimate buff fits almost any team, and his buffs stack with similar effects. As a 3-star he lacks Insight III and stats, and he's not the best at anything.
Strengths
- Unique positional buffs
- Fits almost any team
- Free
Weaknesses
- No Insight III and low stats
- Underwhelming buffs and damage
- Better options exist for every role
Profile
Pioneer is a male Mannequin. Pioneer's birthday is July 9.
Background
Pioneer's body language has been limited since the day he was "born."
| | Out of the Store Window
Pioneer once thought that the whole world was like the store window he sat in: tidy, elegant─almost perfect in every way.
As a mannequin, it was his duty to present suits of the finest style and quality to the wealthy─that was until some kids broke into the store and sprayed graffiti all over his suit.
Unsurprisingly, he was soon thrown away.
As he lay in the dumpster in the alley, he saw a whole new world─one that was chaotic, messy, even scary─but alive.
It was this vitality that awakened him to life.
The Destiny of a Mannequin
Through his time in the well-designed store window and the dirty, disorganized dumpster, Pioneer learned of the pluralism of the world and the enchanting qualities of both sides.
He also saw an entrepreneurial opportunity.
He started traveling door-to-door to sell various handicrafts to the rich while bringing money and opportunities to the working man.
He has now gained the trust of both sides and has become a bridge between the rich and poor.
Limited Body Language
Pioneer's body language has been limited since the day he was "born." He only has so many moveable joints, which means he often has to remove his body parts to move smoothly.
This creates an amusing and sometimes frightening image, leading people to wonder whether he is calm by nature or if he acts so to make up for the strangeness of his movement.
