Can Find Out Enemy Commands in Army Battles

Krin is one of the few characters who can find out the next command of the enemy, increasing your odds of winning battles. However, him finding out the command is not always guaranteed, as there is a chance he may fail.

In Army Battles, it is recommended to prioritize using Ninjas first if possible, then Krin and other Thieves after.
Army Battle Guide

Almost Useless in Party Combat

Krin has no special features that can aid in live combat, dealing little to no damage due to his low Strength stat.

While his speed stat improves at a high rate, there is still no need to develop him compared to other, stronger party combatants.
