By that, I mean getting him as soon as you have access to Home World's boat. He's surprisingly good at that point. His element grid is limited, but is magic and attack power are a point or so behind Radius', which is pretty good in my book. He also get's his Lv. 7 tech skill earlier than the other characters, which makes him really useful during the Porre invasion scenario. Plus, there's the unintentional humour factor of killing Garai, destroying the Dead Sea and running Porre out of Termina with a overly-cute dragon baby by your side.
