'''Disclaimer: What is below is my opinion on the comment posted above. In no way am I stating that my opinion is correct. I am simply providing my point of view.

In my opinion, not really. Sharl/Charles/Charlotte is stronger, as she can give pretty much every buff in the game at a "premium" rate (although a few of them are given through her UBB). I think Lugina 7* is far more broken. He has the unlimited AOE SBB that Nemethgear has, keeps his Def ignore buff, and gives a pretty high boost to Def. Gazia, on the other hand, while seeming broken on paper (or on a webpage) actually has an above average amount of BCs needed to refill his BB and SBB, which actually can be bypassed through excessive BB boosting BBs and SBBs. Also, his BB gauge boost barely fills anything compared to other units. His UBB, while covering his elemental weakness, does not make him, or the rest of the squad, unkillable. From what I understand, the barrier buff only reduces damage from an enemy of that element, not that element in general. So, any boss such as Alfa Dilith, who changes types, or one of the Extra Trials, whos units are mainly non-Dark types, make this effect useless. However, I do admit that his UBB is far from useless. The point I'm trying to make is his UBB is not universally useful. His leader skill, I admit, is very strong. However, this only apllies to when units are guarding, meaning that no damage is being dealt (except through poison or DOT). Therefore, I believe that Ark's leader skill is stronger. In conclusion, although I do admit he is most likely the strongest mitigator in the game, he is definitely not broken.
