Preface:
With all that is going on and what I predict will happen in the future. I believe it is timely to start classifying the 7 party members who will be involved in the conflict in terms of how well they fare and the roles they perform in combat. This will allow me to not only better understand the party dynamics but at the same time, allow me to properly allocate them in the future should the need for that arise.

In the report, I will be outlining their full techs and later evaluating their usefulness in the 3 primary roles they serve mainly Offense, Support and Tank based on their Stats and Techs.

This will be split into a 7 part report where I will evaluate the 7 party members.

My name is Ravier Connor and without further ado, I shall begin with Vincent.

Vincent ???

Classification: Physical Attacker
Roles Played: Offense

Techs:


Vincent’s Esper Analysis:
Out of the 7, Vincent is the least impressive and has one of the most common form of Esper Ability. Serving as the party’s main offensive role, he has average speed, defenses, attack, and survivability. However, he has a larger pool of Mana compared to his peers in the Physical Attacker Category, perhaps owning to his ‘Genius’ status.

Upon research, it became evident that Vincent’s ability in Sword Arts is not innate as he learned it from one of his friends in the past who taught him Sword Arts. Having abandoned the path of Sword Arts for a good few years, he only picked it up recently when the Tech Experimental Program is introduced where he is identified as a Swords Element User.

While his skills in sword arts are rusty, even till today, I believe he is slowly re-learning and picking up from where he left off. All in all, my hopes is that he’ll be an impressive knight to the party.

Vincent’s Role in Combat



Offensive Coverage
Vincent, unlike his peers, excels solely in the Offense Department. However, that is natural of his ability since most of his Techs comes from the Sword rather than the mind.

His abilities have a good mix of elements that allows him to easily capitalize on enemy’s weakness. His attacks are quite unusual in the sense that it makes use of both his Physical and Range Attack stats, but it works to his advantage if one of his stat is compromised, his offensive ability would not be hampered as much as compared to his peers.

Effectiveness of Role:
Vincent fits the offensive role quite nicely despite having only mediocre stats. His main strength draws from his Mana sustainability and speed. Owning to Mana Osmosis, he can easily sustain his Mana Pool without having to exhaust Mana Medicine and abilities such as Catalytic Styx that will always allow him to attack first. Moves like Hollow Rage and Sword Tinkerer will serve to overcome his mediocre offense. However, Sword Tinkerer will compromise his defense.

Flaws of his abilities:
While he is self-sustainable in the Mana Department, his lower than average Defense will severely hamper his ability to dish out damage against his opponents as he will be incapacitated rather often despite having more HP compared to Isabel. He will need the appropriate charms to help boost his defense before he can be considered viable for combat.

Conclusion:
While displaying an aptitude for studies and the ability at critical thinking. I believe he still has room to grow because at this rate, he will be the first ‘backseat’ member of the party should offense not be the priority of a combat situation. In conclusion, out of the 7, he is, harshly put:

“One who is there simply because circumstances demands it rather than his own merits.”
