The Crusader is very similar to the Leper in terms of stats and problems - he also has no projection, optimal in R1-2 and super-slow, yet he has an option for mobility and can serve as a DDoor remover and stress-healer whenever he's outside of his optimal position. He is tied slowest in the game, so even if you are attempting the above point about move-abilities, there is a chance certain priorities will simply shuffle themselves (or be shuffled by others) before you even get your turn. Move ability (ACC + MoveRes) Attack (ACC), whereas someone else could just HIT the damn thing and be done with one check.
People argue that you can just pull enemies to him, to which you are adding more checks. There are a huge number of battles where this isn't favourable, and only a handful (trash) and a few bosses (Pounder, Crew) where it is a non-issue. The current meta involves nuking the two priority targets (typically R3 & R4, see point 2), leaving R1-2 alive and using them to stall the fight and recover health/stress lost - yet all Mr.Leper can hit are those front two enemies, and that is assuming you have burned trinkets to fix his accuracy first. He has the highest base-damage in the game, yet this will always be usable only on the least desirable enemies 90% of the time. The Abomination, by comparison, has the heal & stress-heal rolled into a single ability. His heal and stress heal are entirely greedy - and they are individual abilities. He has absolutely no utility other than a knockback (which is not very good by itself), and clear-corpses. Even a Crusader has options - the Leper does not. He has a grand total of ZERO moves that are usable anywhere other than the front two ranks. As soon as he's shuffled beyond R2, your only option is to burn moves to shuffle him back, one way or another. He has absolutely no mobility whatsoever. This means he cannot (by himself) contribute to killing any of the 20 million priority targets you will encounter during a playthrough unless you have some Rank 3 enemy on, say, 1-6 HP.
He has absolutely no damage projection other than Intimidate, which hits like a wet noodle. As far as I remember, the only other character with a comparible accuracy problem is the Vestal. He has to remedy accuracy, whereas most of the roster don't even come close to his accuracy problem, hence they can fluff up other important stats whilst he is forced to limit his options.
