**However, this requires investment into ailment infliction initially against some targets and also consuming a press turn. Meaning you can't remove barriers + die for me dai against intimidating stance teams with him. It also means you can't double ailment first turn against inti stance teams making you risk losses to status break outs and crit passing. The advantage to this is that your ailment sweepers will get to stat into damage. Unfortunately this point is entirely negated by Pale Rider, who does true damage and will kill an enemy team in two turns without fail.
