ProgenSiris is both right and wrong here.

There is no best mitigator anymore, as there are many, many more viable team builds than there were back in the 6* days when you needed certain units to make set-in-stone teams. "Almost" everyone has a doppelganger that can be subbed in for them; all about mixing and matching buffs/debuffs now.

Where he's wrong though is including Tridon in as a mitigator. A lot of people are mistaken on this, his shield doesn't make him a "mitigator" in the sense that Brave Frontier uses the term. He's a support unit, whether as a sub or as a leader. Mitigators require the 50% mitigation buff as a base requirement; you can't survive high level content by placing Tridon in your tank slot. Compared to the units out as of now, Tridon is actually one of those backburner units that sits in your collection tab or goes on a back-up Trial squad because of his low damage, over-shadowed utility (and therefore, limited use), and incredibly high BC cost.

TL;DR -- '''There's rarely a "best" anything in this game, aside from a few special units like Avant, Charla, etc. that bring entirely too much to the table for one unit. Tridon is also not a mitigator and is overshadowed by a lot of newer units.'''
