For the Mirror Dungeon he is the better pick because of his consistency. The older identity still has the higher ceiling in some faster content.

Sinclair

Cinq Assoc. South Section 4 Director

“O—oh, I'm sorry! W-was I too rough...?!”

Review

Mirror Dungeon tier

Speed and Poise main damage dealer

A fast Poise Sinclair with no bad skills. His skills roll about 13, 22 and 26 when he outspeeds the target, and every hit on a Declared Duel target feeds Haste to keep him fast. Skill 3 adds Fragile for the whole team. He is considered the second best Sinclair, and better than the older top damage Sinclair for the Mirror Dungeon.

Worth pulling?: must pull
Uptie: Uptie IV is clearly worth it. At Uptie IV his skill 2 reaches around 19 base, which makes his clashes very consistent.

How to play

Open with skill 1 for Haste and Poise count, and keep Declared Duel on the target for more Haste. Skill 2 gains coin power per point of speed advantage, so it is your main clasher. Skill 3 applies Fragile and cashes in Poise on a won clash, especially against Declared Duel. Poise count also raises his max speed, so stack it, and use an evade when needed.

+No bad skills, very strong clash rolls with speed
