Intro

Rodney is a 4✦ Echomancer of the Vanguard Class, with the Physical Element. A Taunt specialist, Rodney is a straightforward tank whose entire gimmick is to get stronger whenever he hits or gets hit. With plenty of offensive and defensive self-buffs, Rodney can overcome his innately low base stats and become the center of attention, at least of your enemies! He has trouble as a solo tank however, due to his dependency on his active skill and its limited use count.

Pros & Cons
Pros

  • Large Taunt radius;

  • Good Block regen;

  • Hefty self shields.

Cons

  • Low damage;

  • Needs to get hit to ramp up;

Tier list comment

Good self-sustain and decent personal damage for his rarity, with more than one source of taunt. Doesn’t contribute much aside from that.
