Pity broken harshly

What do you mean, harshly? You keep him, no question. He hard as nails, not like the soft twats you just named. Maybe not L!Hector. Unless you already have Surtr.

I did, but that's your decision to make.

It depends. If you really like the ones you got now, then sure, fodder. If you want to train him up, then go ahead.

i have all the units you mentioned and wouldn't even think about killing him off tbh (even with his def bane) just because of how ridiculous he is, and how easy he makes content. arena assault, chain challenges, blessed gardens, etc. not to mention how easy it is to farm dragon flowers with him.

it seems like you're more disappointed that you got him instead of roy, which i completely understand. we've all been there, and it sucks. alot. but my advice would be to keep him, unless you have a build in mind that would REALLY want that steady stance.
