Frontline Warrior earns a 1.2/5.0 rating because he lacks the fundamental utility required to progress in modern RAID. His primary weakness is the 25% version of Ally Protection; in a game where the 50% version is the standard for viability, a single-target, low-percentage buff is simply insufficient. While the Extra Turn mechanic on his second skill prevents the rating from being a flat 1.0, it doesn't provide enough value to overcome his lack of AOE, debuffs, or meaningful damage scaling. Compared to other Spirit Uncommons like Armiger, who is an endgame god, Frontline Warrior offers nothing

Skills

Thrust — Attacks 1 enemy.
Shield Wall · CD 4 — Places a 25% [Ally Protection] buff on the ally with the lowest HP for 2 turns. Grants an Extra Turn.
