45 hp enough for panic ploy to be consistently good?

Today while summoning for Flora I was blessed with a Luke, who I was thinking of foddering off for panic ploy. I have a +attack -hp Grima who for now I've summoner supported, but in the future maybe someone better than him might come out, I don't know. But I was wondering if even at 45 hp it's worth it to give it to him as a c-skill, as I prefer distant defense in his seal.
Thank you
Edit: or should I just keep Luke just because it's funny? I don't desperately need panic ploy, I'm just seeing if it's viable

In the high Arena meta, 45 HP is definitely NOT consistently good, as the highly merged armours and dragons in those tiers far exceed 45 HP. 45 HP is definitely enough to ploy nearly all mages and cavalry that you might find, but for the most part, 45 HP is not going to cut it. The high-difficulty challenges have units with incredibly inflated HP stats, and Panic Ploy is even less useful there. Personally, I would keep Luke just to listen to the quotes he's always blurting out in battle, it's priceless lol

I think that 45 is a bit too low, considering that a lot of common units (aka Dragon and Armor) have mid 40 to low-mid 50 HP even without merges. (For example, a -HP Nowi with her refined weapon reaches 47 HP at base.)

You are better off with something more common like Atk Smoke from Kaze or some sort of Armor buffing skill such as Ward Armor from Draug.

Min hp hurts the potential of panic, honestly just save luke, since he's pretty rare to get along with saber.

Vs unmerged horses and fliers you're doing very well. Vs fully merged, marginal.
Vs armours and dragons you're not getting very far even if they have no merges

Only if you give him another weapon for the additonal 5 HP, or you give him an HP+ seal which could be cheaper on the long run. I think panic ploy should be at least used on a 50 HP unit.

50 HP is the smallest minimum i could think of, it would be much more solid being on 55 or near 60 of course.

But with 50 HP you can safely ploy all units who arent Armor Units or who dont have a refinery. Mages or some Sword Units and such.
