Of course, I forgot that losing 50 health out of 350 is only 3%...

Anyways, ok, so you're saying he's a tank now? Well whatever you want him to be good at, he'll end up being inferior because of his movement restrictions. A Lancer then outdoes Worker 8 in every aspect except defense. He can attack 8 spaces away, do more damage, take none in the process. And that's just jump. He also can be 2 spaces away from somebody (that he moved GASP more than 3 spaces to get to because he could) and doing big damage to them. Also, putting Hamedo, Blade Grasp, or even Counter on this Lancer, you could send him into the center of a pack of enemies and he'd tank even better than Worker 8. Plus, with everyone running from worker 8, all of a sudden you have them attacking your other characters. Way to go tank.
