User blog comment:Mich, Michele & Kuhla/Future Units Preview/@comment-26053138-20151226141842

This new batch is amazing but it seems less useful than the previous batches. We have units like those already or some of them fill one niche. Girdolf is only a high damage nuker and that's it. Klaus, we have units like Reud, Vermiliion, Paris and a mulitude of units that boost defense based on attack. Isterio is really only good for status weak bosses and mostly raid. The others I don't know but Reihard I guess is a decent anti debuff and Limera, Maribell does the nuker job and being more useful than Girdolf and Raphil is the new Laberd. But still units like Drevas and other Antidebuffs can do the job and be more efficient with other units than Reihard. Marribells BB damage is done by Zillias and Avant, two of the most used Bb damage buffers in the JpN meta, and Raphil... Do we really need another Laberd? Maybe I'm not accepting these units enough. At least they open more combos.
