Talk:Simon/@comment-25881556-20160215144348

Simon naturally has high defense(both physical and magic) and he's stuck in most/all battles.

He actually has higher than average attack but since he's always around with Aka (who between high crit rate and naturally gain atk faster than Simon), he doesn't shine until his own chapter.

his ability to equip different weapons and armor lets him modify his stats to suit the needs of the party (although this has relatively limited use for most of the game since he doesn't have any options to amp his matk for instance)

All his "strikes"(including precise) can crit and therefore almost completely nullify his attack command since they're so cheap and have a status effect as well.

BattleField Medicine should only be used for healing status effects, it scales off matk but is generally very weak throughout most of the game, consider amping agi to support this skill as the speed bonus for this skill is relatively low.

Commanding presence has a lower stun rate but works really well for mobs.

When he gets his upgraded skills, he becomes an even stronger support fighter, with unified strike to land a number of status effects and a party wide reviving, status effect clearing healing skill
