Overview
Silver-era support unit. They don't fight, they play music that buffs the attack and defence of everyone nearby.
Strengths
- Strong buffs for the front line around them
- Even stronger after 10 seconds of the same song
- Cheaper leadership during their own season
Weaknesses

- Seasonal unit, only obtainable in Season X
How to Play
- Hold one song for 10 seconds to get the stronger buff.

- Don't press attack. It stops the music and scatters the unit.
