Enemy description

A nameless youth toiling behind the scenes, he has never stopped writing, even when he lacks pen and paper. Someone here is worthy of his interest, and he doesn't seem hostile.

Overview

“	A nameless youth toiling behind the scenes. Cannot be blocked and launches very long-ranged Arts attacks. Uses special Arts that reduces allied units' combat power.	”

The Playwright boasts exceptionally high HP, defenses, and strong global-ranged Arts attacks, making him a highly formidable foe. Being a scriptwriter, the Playwright possesses several abilities that can allow him to devastate multiple targets from anywhere on the map and possibly ruin the formation's placements.
