Is The Fool good?
The Fool is a 3-star Star taunter who punishes attackers: their skill sets a counter and Taunts for a round, and anyone who hits them takes Corrode, Genesis damage based on the carrier's HP that ignores defenses. Another skill reduces a target's Moxie and their ultimate spreads Corrode across enemies.
The Taunt lasts one round, their Insight I defenses only cover the first two rounds, and 
Oliver Fog and 
Cristallo outdo them in durability and utility.
