Commander's Tactical Evaluation

Reviewed by Don
¹ “The Liberator is a frontline footman defense tank who protects your back-row carry from crowd control and converts their damage into frontline healing. His Skill 5 gives his normal attacks an 80% chance to block enemy troop recovery and a 70% chance to grant Clear-Minded (control immunity) to your back-row squad for 1 turn. When placed in the front row, his Skill 8 reduces all allied damage taken by 20% for the first 3 rounds and then converts 40% of your back-row carry's damage into frontline troop recovery from round 4 onward.”

Deployment Summary: The Liberator is a Defense commander introduced in Sx05 (rated High Tier). Commands Footmens in the Front row, following an unlock priority of 6th - 8th - 7th.

² Special Mechanics & Formation Advisory

Skill 8's team-wide damage reduction and back-row life-steal conversion only activate when The Liberator is placed in the front row.
