User blog:SimpleorGidofter/Unpopular Units: Bargus

There are plenty of units that everyone loves, like Rigness, Feeva, Ultor, Zelnite, and Nick. (I mean, people like Nick, right? No?... never mind... I'll just take my Nick back then...)

But for all the good and popular units out there, there are units that are good but get mixed reviews. A prime example: Bargus. Released as part of the Sphere Founders II unit group along with legends like Rosetta and the aforementioned Rigness, Bargus was the group's defensive mitigator, giving other units a nice defensive boost. However, most people don't like this unit, most notably for his BB, which only gives defense buffs and nothing else. He's got decent stats, but his leader Skill is useless for its lack of anything better than a defensive edge. Only his SBB can dish out any damage, and it's a lot to work towards.

Unlike most, though, I actually like this unit. His defensive BB is probably the only reason my units survive Maxwell's onslaught in St. Lamia. (BTW, I started playing in February. It was painful waiting for the seven stars.) Darvanshel may actually attack with his BB, but his defensive boost lasts only one turn. Bargus', on the other hand, lasts for three. I have both as Guardians (a shame, I know) and from what I could tell, Bargus' stats are actually higher than his, at least as far as attack and defense go.

Darvanshel:  Bargus: And although there are only slight differences, Bargus wins in stats.

Overall, though, he's still outclassed by Magress's 7*, Shera, and sometimes even Darvanshel. He's still a good unit, and valuable on quests, but there are better.

Score: 7/10
