Colm Best Team Formations

Gladiator, Fighter, and Cleric Unit

Colm's Unit
Sharon (Cleric)	-	Colm (Fighter)
-	Bruno (Gladiator)	-

This unit focuses more on Defense, with both Colm and Bruno acting as damage sponges, while Sharon heals them through both her Active and Passive Skills.

While this unit may seem focused on Defense and Sustain, it also can provide good offense depending on the enemy formation, especially since Bruno can deal high amounts of damage at full health, which can easily be met through Colm's shielding and Sharon's healing.
