Review

Ryan Ferrier, the ojisan that carried KR community when Shadow Palace was first released in their region, even without having MDL (actually back then no Defender had this stat, so I have to admire the KR players that managed to clear Shadow Palace without it).

He also carries PVP in fresh servers, being quite tanky and providing great CC.

Sadly, his good days are over and most SR and SSR Defenders are simply way better than him.


MDL = Max Damage Limit or DMG Taken Limit is a stat that only appears on SSR rarity Defenders. How does it work? For example, if an employee has 10% MDL it means that any hit that does more damage than 10% of his max HP, will have the part exceeding the MDL value lowered by 80%. This prevents Defenders with MDL from being one-shot by skills/ultimates.

A way to counter MDL is to use employees with great ASPD like Administration Rifleman, Ifrit, or Millia Rage.

Pros & Cons
Pros

- can push enemies to their ship,

- strong stun.

Cons

- no MDL makes him useless as a Defender late game.
