Pros	High VIT and 70% HP boost from skills and panels makes him very tanky. Gains Null Mortal on Panel 2. Additionally, he takes 60% less damage unless the enemy hits his weak point. If hit by a physical attack (miss/crit capable, not just Phys element), he retaliates by casting Gloom and a Fire AoE on the enemy team. If panel 1, he also debuffs their DEF. Scarlet Chop is a strong Fire ST attack that hits two separate times with 80% crit rate each. This combined with +20% from innate Epitome of Finesse means he effectively has 100% crit rate. Low AGI but 65% accuracy boost from skills and panels means he can fit well into slow teams, while still being able to hit decently often. Intimidating Stance in Purple synergizes well with this. Works well in fire Democalypse with Rending Fire innate and Hinokagutsuchi (Skill) giving extra damage in boss, or extra ratio in prelim.
Cons	Weak to Ice and Dark. Will have accuracy issues if not Panel 2, since 50% of his 65% accuracy boost is in there. Questionable in PvP, since he has major problems when against Zeus or Demeter: Attribute affinity down level 2, combined with Hino not having any NDR (aside from Teal's Null Phys), means he will become Weak to that element - nullifying his 60% damage reduction. The retaliatory AoE can be exploited by Demeter teams to recover their Bulwarks - they can just spam normal attacks on him to recharge bulwarks to full.
