Description from creator: Ephraim's refine makes it so that he can unleash Ignis against foes that can counter within one round of combat, which is usually enough to defeat them. Distant Stance is for utility, but also patches up his Res. Def/Res Solo 3 seal further patches up Res, and the Def helps with Ignis too. Atk Smoke 4 helps with defensive buffs, and the follow-up denial really beefed up Ephraim's survivability against bulkier foes. His standard B slot also helps with his survivability. With the right team/support, you can buff Ephraim and just plonk him in the middle of a map.

Weaknesses include Null Follow-Up (especially against green foes), bulky green foes, and strong magic attackers (especially green). I recommend having a red or colorless speedy tome user to be on the same team; this helps cover his weaknesses (my personal pick is Winter Lysithea).
