Review & Analysis

Soldier FA is an Iron Defender with an SG, a common (R rarity) unit built to serve as the team's Cover. Her Burst "Falcon Boost" sharply raises her own Max HP, letting her tank hits longer for the squad. Skill 2 "Falcon Nest" converts a portion of her dealt damage into self HP recovery over time, boosting her survivability in fights. Skill 1 "Falcon Wings" has a 10% chance to trigger when attacked, granting a brief DEF boost. A solid starter pick for learning the Cover role.

Skill Investment Priority

Prioritize Burst (major Max HP boost, core to her Cover role) → Skill 2 (self HP recovery, adds durability) → Skill 1 (low-chance DEF buff, least important).

General guideline: level evenly to 1/1/1 for temporary use; if you need more staying power, prioritize Burst (112.5% Max HP boost) as her strongest survival tool.

Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths

Her Burst boosts her own Max HP by 112.5% for 10 seconds, temporarily improving survivability.
Skill 2 self-heals for 20.19% of damage dealt over 8 seconds, giving her basic self-sustain.

Weaknesses

Very low R-rarity base stats compared to SR/SSR Defenders.
Skill 1 only has a 10% chance to trigger when attacked, making the DEF buff unreliable.
No active taunt mechanic, so protecting allies effectively is difficult.
