I want Deimos for his status ailment invalidation and Tridon for his shield and leader skill. Who would you choose and which type? I don't think I'd recommend you getting Deimos, though. Even though he's one of two taunters, which is a unique aspect, his other kits are heavily outclassed. His parameter boost is already outclassed by units like Nadore, Carrol, Haile, Paris, etc., while his status invalidation on his LS does not really appeals much in the metagame anymore, since you can cleanse or even negate status through buffs, and it's generally better to get another decent LS (not to mention sometimes LS can be locked). Other than that, his 40% boost to HP can be trumped by units like Charla, Laberd, etc. (Even Paris, a free unit, is universally better than Deimos, given you don't need his taunt buff).

Tridon has yet to be outclassed. His earth shield aspect is unique and extinct from Barriers, and as of now, no one has been able to put up a shield like Tridon. Thus, he's not outclassed now. To me, I'd recommend you getting Anima since Tridon would have excessive Recovery via his sphere and ES, and extra HP are always welcomed. It's not that I don't need Deimos' taunt. It would be extremely helpful. Regardless, overall (including the taunt) you'd recommend Tridon?
