Pros	Good STR and decent AGI and LUK means he will hit hard without much Accuracy issues. Savage Glee, Bloodshed, and panels add up to an impressive offensive boost of 50% Phys damage, 60% crit rate, and 30% crit damage. Blade of Terror deals consistent Fractional damage based on enemies' current HP, unaffected by buffs. It will also bypass the accuracy check since it is a fractional skill. Blade of Terror has high AOE Bind chance when maxed and panel 4 (40 + 20 + 15 + 30 = 105%), and can be used Turn 1 due to its low MP cost (4 MP when max level and panel 2). After the fractional hit and Bind, Blade of Terror follows up with a piercing Phys AoE with 50% crit rate (when combined with the above passives and panels, it has 110% crit rate). As it is a chain effect, you will not lose Press Turns even if you hit into NDR, similar to Atavaka's Enemy Annihilation chain. Blade of Terror also casts Sukukaja and Sukunda if panel 2, helping accuracy and evasion. Panel 4 grants him Charge upon any party member killing an enemy, similar to Zaou-Gongen and Yoshitsune's panel 4 effects.
Cons	Blade of Terror falls off later in the fight as it is based on Current HP (and is capped against late game targets in PvE). Since Blade of Terror's Phys AoE is a chain effect, it will always use one whole press turn, even if it crits. Weak to Ice unless Teal. Demeter and Maria preventing ailments, along with Demeter's bulwark make Red Rider extremely unsuited for pvp currently.
Notes	Buffs and damage boosts only work on Blade of Terror's Phys chain, and not the Fractional damage.
