Overview
The Hero of the Sagas Warriors Tag has arrived, and he’s packing an iconic sword and a soothing tune. SP Hero Tapion RED distinguishes himself from other Support-oriented Fighters by acting as an Offensive Pivot with some gimmicky flourish, but his primary utility as a disruptor is honestly irrelevant at this point considering opponents can easily work around his Extra Arts Card.
Tapion can find use as a Supporter on one of the game's strongest Tag Teams, but that's about the extent of his usefulness.
Strengths
Positive Influence
Any Ally SP Hero Tapion RED both works well as the Support of the Team and as a deceptively decent Offensive Fighter. Tapion's constant, permanent Offensive Damage Buff contributes to his Damage output; while it's not stellar, it's notably stronger than the self-Buffing effects possessed by most other Supporters.
His Ki-Restore on switch is a welcome bit of utility, since it can be used to chain a three cards combo into a Special Move, something that couldn't be normally done without the extra Ki this switch effect provides.
Weaknesses
Low Level Armor
Unfortunately, all of SP Hero Tapion RED’s versatility has a cost, and that would be his durability. While he is a complete buzzkill to play against, he is very susceptible to long combos. Defensive Fighters are necessary teammates for SP Hero Tapion Red to ensure he survives.
The presence of a Trunks variant ameliorates his Defensive issues, as he gains a +15% permanent Sustained Damage Cut when one is around, but that's nowhere close to enough to fix his bulk woes.
Barely Useful Gimmick
SP Hero Tapion RED is the perfect example of a Fighter with wasted potential. His Extra Move's concept is good, but its Effect doesn't last long enough to practically influence a Match in any shape or form and it lacks consistency.
Likewise, his Main-Sealing Main Ability might be interesting at first glance, but it'll hardly result in a really advantageous situation most times.
More often than not, Tapion's foe needs only to switch to a Fighter capable of countering Tapion to negate this advantage, as by the time the Fighter Tapion sealed switches back in, any effect Tapion had will have dissipated.
Team Synergy
Sagas From the Movies
SP Hero Tapion RED has a good Z-Ability for Sagas Warriors, but SP Super Janemba RED completely outclassed him. Despite that, Tapion possesses a strong Z-Ability, which Buffs Strike Attack and Defense, and can function on the Tag as a Supporter and a Crisis Fighter.
With SP Full Power Boujack PUR's Support behind him, SP Hero Tapion RED is able to lob and receive Support Buffs, greatly enhancing the Team's overall Damage.

He's very heavily geared towards Strike and this is the best Equip in the game for Fighters like that. The double Buff to Strike Damage is greatly appreciated by Tapion.

Similar to "This is the Kaioken" albeit slightly worse, it's still a great choice for one-dimensional Melee Fighters, like Tapion. This one is designed for Sagas From the Movies Fighters, and Tapion's Offense can definitely use the help.
