Gridiron

Gridiron is Dan Felino’s nemesis. While Dan is light and agile, Gridiron is heavy and ruthless on the field. Fair play is not his thing.

Overview
Gridiron is an attacker with gimmicks like stun, magnetize, daze and shields. His health is abnormally high and his trait and relics are pretty good, so running him as a tank isn't a bad idea either.

Pros:

 * Good speed, trait and relics
 * Very high health for an attacker
 * Shields and damage boosts
 * Low cooldowns and stamina costs
 * Spammable stun move

Cons:

 * Bad power for an attacker
 * Only one AoE move
 * Not many moves inflict status effects

Attacker

 * Pass Right Fake (AoE 40 Metal dmg, 32s, 3cd)
 * Left Bootleg / Sweep Pass (Bootleg for 45 Earth dmg + Self Damage Boost, 28s, 0cd) / (Sweep for 45 Metal dmg + Magnetize, 27s, 0cd)
 * Pass Left Tackle (55 Earth dmg, 28s, 1cd)
 * Playside Tackle (45 Metal dmg + Stun, 28s, 0cd)

Pass Right Fake is Gridiron's only AoE move, so you have to use this move if you want to run Gridiron as an attacker. Left Bootleg boosts Gridiron and Sweep Pass can be spammed on the same enemy two turns in a row for more damage. Both moves involve waiting one turn for Gridiron to deal more damage. Pass Left Tackle deals heavy earth damage and Playside Tackle stuns an enemy for no cooldown.

Recommended Runes: 3 Strength; 2 Strength, 1 Speed

Recommended Relics: Pestilence Trap / Revenge Staff, Drainer Staff

Tank

 * Pass Right Fake / Sweep Pass / Left Bootleg
 * Pass Left Tackle
 * Playside Tackle
 * Zero Protection (35 Earth dmg + Self 30% Shield, 27s, 2cd)

This moveset takes advantage of Gridiron's high life and Self-Shield move to run him as a tank. Zero Protection gives Gridiron a shield, just like what most tanks need. The rest of the moves don't matter much besides Playside Tackle.

Recommended Runes: 3 Life; 2 Life, 1 Strength; 1 Life, 1 Strength, 1 Speed

Counters

 * Dark or magic attackers like Postigaruf can take down Gridiron.
 * Shield blockers like Sir Francis Rock can make sure Gridiron doesn't Shield himself.
