Why Marlin matters
Marlin's Attack of 3,235 is the highest on the board, and his strength in both arena and expedition makes him a safer investment than a pure expedition specialist. He holds the S tier for rally leadership and remains useful as an archer-damage option for several generations.
Skills
Wild Card leads his kit, and his attack scaling is what makes him a genuine top-tier rally leader.
How to use Marlin
Lead rallies with Marlin where Amadeus or Petra is not available, and expect him to be replaced in the archer slot around Generation 4 by Rosa. As a joiner he is B tier — one copy at most.
Verdict
Marlin is a top-tier pick in at least one role — build them first and, where the skill stacks, merge duplicates.
