About Scoring System
For my analyses, I enforce a scoring system. Each category is out of 10 points. The final score will be the average of all of the category scores. Note that my analyses are based on my opinion. You are free to agree or disagree with the points that I have here. The categories are listed below: Typing will be under stats.
 * Leader Skill
 * Brave Burst
 * Super Brave Burst (only for 6* units and above)
 * Ultimate Brave Burst (only for 7* units)
 * Extra Skill (only for 7* units)
 * Arena
 * Stats
 * Usefulness

Note: Scoring will be different for 7* units compared to 6* units due to the fact that 7* units have two more categories than 6* units. For example, a 6* unit with an 8.5 rating cannot be compared with a 7* unit with a 7.5 rating.

Summary
A requested spotlight! Excited for his release? Kurt to Kolt? Hmm...

Kurt is Claire's brother and Claire is Kurt's sister... or should I say... Kolt is Krea's brother and Krea is Kolt's sister. I gotta get used to these names.

Leader Skill
Score: 10/10

Another Zebra-like Leader Skill... with more survivability involved?

Sweet! Generally, most crit teams lack survivability since the squad is mostly composed of units holding Amanohabakens, Blighted Seal, etc. With Kolt's Leader Skill, all of your units get a 30% boost to HP and Rec. This is very nice as HP provides the squad more survivability and the Rec provides easier HP recovery from the HC your units get.

This Leader Skill actually has the highest critical damage boost in the game. Maxwell and Zedus are known to be the best critical Leaders in the game, but their critical damage boost is 125%, which is smaller compared to Kolt's 150%.

Brave Burst
Score: 9/10

This BB mostly resembles Kira's BB. This BB increases critical rate by 60% and gradually recovers 3 BC per turn for 3 turns. The crit rate buff is currently the best in the game, hitting the critical rate cap (70%). This means you do not have to equip critical spheres like Amanohabaken, Havoc Axe, and Death Axe to your units.

The "gradual recover to BB gauge" effect is nice too. 3 BC regen is one of the best buffs, but not certainly not the best. Grahdens's BB regen is 6 BC/turn, which is currently the best in the game. Despite Kolt's SBB also not having the best BB regen in the game, Kolt's SBB is a better alternative to use as these buffs do not stack.

The damage output is pretty good too. With Kolt's high ATK and his 280% BB damage modifier, Kolt will be dealing tons of damage. Neat, huh?

Super Brave Burst
Score: 9/10

This SBB is the same thing as his BB, but better. The 60% critical rate buff still hits the critical rate cap, which means you don't have to equip Amanohabakens and Havoc Axes to your units. Any higher will scale your critical rate down to 70%.

The "gradual recover to BB gauge" effect gets an upgrade from 3 BC to 5 BC. This is the second highest buff for BB/SBB, only to be beaten by Grahden's SBB.

A 500% damage modifier is also very nice too. With Kolt's high attack, you'll see that the damage output is very high. Wonderful!

Ultimate Brave Burst
Score: 9/10

So... his BB and SBB got 60% critical rate buffs... UBB gets 70%?

This is strange, but awesome at the same time. You still hit the critical rate cap, but the 70% critical buff is not much of a necessity as 70% is the current critical rate cap. Anything exceeding this amount will scale down to 70%. This is given that the base critical rate is 10% and with the buff, you would supposedly have an 80% critical rate, but it's scaled down to 70%.

Big Atk buffs are always nice too. 200%? This literally means that your original Atk gets tripled. Kolt's UBB damage modifier is 1000% so imagine how much damage you'll be dealing with Kolt's UBB. Quite a lot.

Extra Skill
Score: 9/10

Very nice. In addition to the sphere boosts, Kolt gets a nice 30% boost to all stats. The sphere is not the best to use, but an alternative is to have Krea in your Squad. Having the two siblings in your squad will definitely help boost their survivability in your squad.

Arena
Score: 10/10

Critical damage boost not reliable? That's fine. We've got the 30% boost to HP. Kolt offers this awesome boost to increase the survivability of your units. This allows your units to take a bunch of hits from your enemies. Even better, if Kolt and Krea are in your squad, their HP stats are going to be very high. Think of an Anima Kolt with Malice Jewel + Heresy Orb, Krea in your squad, and Kolt as a lead. Kolt's HP goes as high as approximately 15543 HP! This is insane! This is also granted that Kolt is also dealing massive damage with his attacks to your easy win.

If you think that the critical damage is not reliable, Kolt's BB boosts the critical rate to its cap, allowing your units to land critical hits a lot easier. However, RNG still plays a big role, regardless of how big your probability is.

Stats
Score: 10/10

Very nice HP, Atk, and Def stats. Combined with Kolt's Leader Skill and Extra Skill, it is safe to say that Kolt is one of the bulkiest units in the game. The high Atk will also allow Kolt to dish out tons of damage with his attacks. This is also granted that his damage modifiers are very high.

In terms of typing, my type preference for Tora is...

Anima > Guardian > Lord > Breaker > Oracle

Usefulness
Score: 10/10

Because Kolt is one of the bulkiest units in the game, Kolt can be used practically anywhere. This is granted that he is able to boost his stats to a much farther level compared to other units. In Raid, Kolt provides the highest crit buffs in the game, which really helps in conjunction with his Leader Skill. Dealing a ton of damage is important in Raid as you are timed for 30 minutes for each mission. Overall, Kolt can tank and deal tons of damage given his really high stats. Even if Krea is one of the requirements to activate Kolt's Extra Skill, it will benefit your squad in the long run as both units fulfill four roles in the squad: crit buffer, BC drop rate buffer, Spark buffer, and BB buffer.

Conclusion
Score: 9.5/10

Definitely scream and shout once you get this guy! If you're bored in let's say... English class, try and Rare Summon Kolt. If you get Kolt, scream and shout across the classroom! Though, your teacher would be upset and would send you to the principal's office for showing inappropriate behavior so do it at your own risk.

Brother and sister! Who wins? Krea! Kolt!
