Review

Minwoo is a PVP-oriented tank that can tank Counters quite well but dies almost instantly to Admin Riflemen, Ifrit, and Awakened Horizon. This makes him week-dependent, but when his counters are banned, he not only tanks but also shares a Counter res buff to allied soldiers (and Lee Yuri if she's on the team). He also does % based damage to enemies excluding Mechs using his skill. His only problem as a Counter tank is his lack of MDL but he costs rather cheap anyway so he can easily be redeployed.

Pros & Cons
Pros

- makes friendly soldiers much tankier thanks to his passive,

- his special deals quite a lot of damage since it depends on enemy max HP.

Cons

- primarily a PVP unit,

- can't tank anything that isn't a Counter.
