Another cover commander unit, this is self-explanatory. Act as the frontline (or try to look for flanks) but use their buffs with shield wall and Freyja charge when you have time to, as that will help you and your team be better suited for a fight. Stand Fast doctrine is a must as they tend to get tossed around and are not like other shield units with a passive CC resistance. Last two doctrine slots can be LDS, Health and Resistance V, Unit Damage V, more block, etc. they do not need mobility as they're pretty fast themselves.
