DB12 (1/10): He is not recommended in Dragons B12.

 

NB12 (0/10): He doesn't have multi hits to break through the boss' shield in Necro B12.

SF10 (0/10): He has elemental disadvantage and is not recommended in Steel Fortress B10.

PC10 (5/10): He can be used here, but there are better options. 

ToA (1/10): He does not have enough CC to be used here.

Rift of Worlds (0/10): He has no real use here. 

Labyrinth (2/10): He could be used in niche lab stages.

Dimensional Hole (2/10): He is not recommended here.

Arena (6/10): Generally you want AoE Cleave teams to farm Arena, but he can be used in annoying DEF.

Guild Wars (10/10): He shines here on both offense and defense as a sustain monster. 

 

RTA (10/10): His passive and self protection makes him annoying to deal with. His 1st skill is a constant RNG to stun which really affects the game.
