The reason why Avant is so popular as a unit is because of all of his buffs, his LS was one of the most diverse and generous offensive leader skills in the game at the time. He also came packed with a bunch of different buffs, seriously, put him as your leader and use his SBB once, you just got a 300% boost to BB atk, a 15% attack boost based on max health, a chance to make spark damage deal more damage to a spark debuffed enemy, a 150% boost to crit damage, a 70% boost to spark damage, and a 30% boost to max health from his LS. He was an all around powerhouse on release and was one of the best units for his all around good offensive buffs.

But I do agree, he is outclassed by some of the newer units, but you list units that have almost completely different purposes, for instance, Laberd, Haile, and Gazia, (Haile being a global exclusive and Gazia just being only accessable by beating his trial) two mitigators and a BB atk buffer with BB fill. Avant (imo) is meant to be an all-around offensive/supportive leader that provides buffs to his team and helps them shred enemies. He's still used in raid battles because of these buffs as well. Equip him with Vorpal chainblades and Dandelga, and he's going to go to town on a lot of bosses with his exceptional damage output. He's kind of like an all around A-tier unit, and while units will certainly top him in certain categories, for instance an S-tier crit focused leader or an S-tier BB atk buffer, he gets an A rating or at least a B rating for everything else he provides.

I also wasn't aware of him getting a dream evo. *Fanboy mode activated* SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
