Sinking tank that discards for Shield

A small version of Dieci Rodion. He discards skills to gain Shield and inflicts Sinking on anyone who hits him. His numbers are weak, so attacking with him is poor, and his best job is soaking hits. He also takes a slot from stronger Sinking identities with unique effects.

Worth pulling?: skip
Uptie: Not a priority. Higher Uptie raises his numbers, but his role as a tank stays the same.

How to play

Discard skills to build Shield, let enemies hit you to stack Sinking on them, and avoid relying on his own attacks. Use the defense skill to discard and stay guarded.

+Large Shield from discarding
+Inflicts Sinking when hit

−Weak damage numbers
−Fatal to Pierce
−Competes with better Sinking identities
