Valerian the City of a Thousand Planets is technically an independent film despite the $200 million dollar budget. Same thing would apply to games, I think.

Why? Engage Skill nets you 1,000 gold, Adaptable helps you get out of potentially screwing yourself by equipping a certain weapon (not guaranteed of course, but helpful), the Knife skills make him great for Yunaka in particular, has vantage, and can teach a lot of weapon proficiencies. Not the best actual combat unit, but super utilitarian, especially with the gold thing.

Especially with how good some of those rings are. Lief in particular is a very helpful way to get gold, and of course Sigurd has his amazing Canto ability.
