Is -Atk Hardin worth it?

What boon tho? Hardin suffers a lot from -atk in my opinion because he is a great mixed phase unit with Bold fighter, but you can build him into a enemy phase tank if you got a good boon in defense or res.

I am in the same, with one +Def - Atk, just not sure is go with death blow-3 or default A-Skill

Swap as standard for armors
Bold Figther
maybe ignis or bonfire

at the end he wont be optimal, but at least useful especially with DC

it's alright tbh. i had merged 2 -atk hardin's and he works great as an enemy phase unit or tank.

I got mine -atk,+res and he is excellent in Enemy phase 36/35, with his default A skill pump him up to 43/42.
Special Aether and I feel like he never dies.

Just going to weigh in because I have a +hp -atk myself. Someone suggested that I give him Atk seal and buffs and he should be ok.

I've been trying him in Arena though because I know I won't get to tier 20 this week anyway, and with a DD3 seal and this defensive tile heavy week he's doing pretty great as an enemy phase tank.
