That's the build I'm most thinking of using to replace my Lord Averus. (Unfortunately I was only able to summon a Breaker Stein. I have such bad luck getting the Typing I want on mitigators I actually want to use for my main team.) I was a bit afraid using him might cut my damage potential down a little bit so I've not gotten around to evolving him yet with all the Frontier Gate/Hunter that's been going on, but he's sure to heavily boost survivability in super difficult content while letting me take a more strictly offensive Friend.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm seriously in need of at least one good reason why to take the 2 turn mitigation SP outside of that Karna Masta glitch that has since been fixed. Particularly with this unit, since he has an elemental barrier you'd probably be wanting to refresh every turn as the enemy breaks it, so skipping a turn to defend seems pretty counterproductive. Add to that having a non-mitigator with a 75% UBB mitigation on the same team (Sirius easily has the most well rounded UBB in the game to this day, I love it), and I can think of no other situations where insuring you're always Brave Bursting with your mitigator every single turn wouldn't be the best option. People like to over-equip their mitigators with huge BB maintenance anyway, so it should never be a problem. Worst case scenario, that's what Revives and Fujins are for if he ends up in trouble while helping the rest of the team.
