\'\'\'Rinkah:\'\'\' Axe Fighter, 40/34/39/41/18. Rinkah is a Defensive \'\'powerhouse\'\', having her PRF, Distant Foil, Wrath and Even Def Wave to retaliate with some \'\'vicious\'\' Bonfires. Unfortunately this is a case of CripplingOverspecialization, because she complete neglects her Res and can be realistically oneshotted by any (non-Blue) mage with 58 Atk. \'\'\'No.\'\'\'

\'\'\'Forrest:\'\'\' Troubadour, 39/32/26/19/35. \'\'Wow\'\' did he ever get done dirty. Not only are all of his skills available on other units, but his statline is comparable to a Gen 1 Troubadour; the only thing he has going for him is his high base Res. \'\'\'Obviously not.\'\'\'

\\\'\\\'\\\'Midori:\\\'\\\'\\\' Red Bow, 41/41/30/34/21. Between her Def, Spendthrift Bow+, Close Foil and Chill Atk, Midori has a bizarre niche of being a very physically tank bow. The downsides are that being a colored bow neuters her effectiveness a bit, she\\\'s a bit slow which means she has issues proccing Specials thanks to Spendthrift, and her Res is a weakpoint. While I appreciate that she has the highest Atk of all Bow units and that Close Foil is probably the best of the Ward/Foil skills, I feel like there are units who can use Midori\\\'s skills better than she can. \\\'\\\'\\\'Maybe.\\\'\\\'\\\'

\\\'\\\'\\\'Lilith:\\\'\\\'\\\' Blue Fáfnir, 39/36/41/27/30. The only thing stopping me from slapping her on the page without asking first is because her PRF effect is Player-only, because \\\'\\\'wow\\\'\\\' is it ever a good one: Spd+3 and Adaptive Damage vs. Ranged, and she can warp to her Ally Support \\\'\\\'anywhere they are on the map\\\'\\\' and gains +5 to all stats by being within three spaces of them. Atk/Spd Bond, Def/Res Link and the new Joint Drive Atk milk this invisible stat inflation for all it\\\'s worth, effectively giving her 39/68/56/40/43 just by warping to and Repositioning her Ally Support. Her only immediate failings are that she doesn\\\'t have Distant Counter, and Joint Drive Atk is a \\\'\\\'very\\\'\\\' desirable fodder. \\\'\\\'\\\'Yes.\\\'\\\'\\\'

\\\'\\\'\\\'Iago:\\\'\\\'\\\' Red Mage, 42/38/23/27/32. He has a fun PRF based on his map in \\\'\\\'Fates\\\'\\\', granting Res+3 and doing one of two things if he has 3 more HP than an enemy: on odd turns he\\\'ll inflict Atk/Spd-4 and Guard on enemies away from each other, and on even turns he\\\'ll inflict Def/Res-4 and Panic on enemies beside each other. He also comes with Atk Opening for the team\\\'s strongest member to take advantage of the chaos. Unfortunately, while definitely pretty good as far as free units go, I wouldn\\\'t call him a Game Breaker due to being stuck with the same unfortunate statline that all free Red Mages get. \\\'\\\'\\\'No.\\\'\\\'\\\'
