Kanak Strengths and Weaknesses

Strength Strong Single Target Unite Attack

Weakness Average On His Own

Strong Single Target Unite Attack

Kanak can perform the Pirate Attack when both Anji and Leonardo are in the party.

Consider including these three in your party when you need single target damage.

Average On His Own

Without the other pirates, Kanak is simply mediocre on his own. Since he's not forced into the party in any part of the story, there are only a few considerable situations where you would want him in your group.
