Actually, Auron is probably one of the best characters, gameplay wise. His Break abilities are extremely useful, and with Banishing Blade he can inflict them all at once. He's also the character who is best suited for taking out armored enemies, as his strength is better than Khimari's. Furthermore, he has one of the most useful Celestial Weapons out there. It guarantees that he moves first, and that is a very useful ability. Even enemies like Great Marlboros who always get the jump on the party and unleash Bad Breath won't be able to attack until after Auron moves, and Auron can one hit pretty much anything he comes across. Shooting Star wipes out essentially any non-boss. Banishing Blade cripples any enemy who is immune to Shooting Star. And Tornado destroys entire groups. Triple Overdrive and the Slayer Overdrive Mode means that killing two enemies will max out his Overdrive bar again. Combined with Tornado and his sword's guarantee to move first, this means that Auron can wipe out nearly any random mob group without being touched, and he'll keep a full overdrive the entire way.
