== Strengths  ==

'''
 * Skill "Barong Dance" got better after an update '''

After the update, the skill "Barong Dance" can be used 3 times. "Barong Dance" has the ability heal and raise attack, defense, dodge and accuracy for all allies.

As Barong is strong in both healing and assisting in increasing stats in battle, Barong will be useful in both roles.

'''
 * High Agility '''

Barong's agility is high and so having Barong in the party can give you a head start.

Besides having a strategy, gaining a head start to the battle is also important and this makes Barong useful.

== Weaknesses  ==

'''
 * Barong Dance does not have the best timing yo '''

Barong Dance recovers and buffs allies at the same time.

However, even though these buffs will be useful at the very start of the battle, if healing is needed at a later period in a battle, it'll be difficult to do so.

'''
 * 2 Weaknesses '''

As Barong is weak to Force and Dark, 2 skills to counter that is required.

As such, Barong may be difficult to use in some situations as there is a cost to skill inheritance for resist.
