It is a route on a big stage, he is very helpful.
2-3 turns, that's pretty damn helpful.
Nailah wasting a turn to carry him? Doesn't sound to practical to me.
actually, you can send ONLY Ike and your completely fine down the middle. 2range, ORKO and durable. no need for others.
Rafiel is much better endgame, i agree.
But how is leanne better? she gets all of...2-2/2-E/3-11/4-P/4-3 No chance.
EDIT: SHIT FOX BEAT ME TO IT!
