Why Shi Assoc. South Section 5 Heathcliff is a bad identity

Shi Assoc. South Section Heathcliff is a BAD identity in Limbus Company. First of all, he has barely any coins with a total of 4 across all of his skills, save for the defense skill. To put this into perspective, his base ID has 5 coins across his skills, excluding defense skill of course. Second of all, he has very bad damage, with his skill 1's damage ranging from 4 damage to 12, which is really disappointing compared to almost every other skill. Even when put up against a slash weak opponent, it'll only double it to 9-24 damage. His skill 2 is also very disappointing, dealing 6-10 damage on normal resistance, but it grants 3 poise, so an extra 15% chance that it'll deal 1.2x damage and boost the damage to a 7-12. Finally, the skill 3 which is definitely better than the first 2 skills, dealing 22 damage on the first coin, and 36 on the second, dealing a total of 57. Unfortunately, this damage is at the cost of 10 HP. Now third of all, he has the counter skill. Counter is in my opinion the worst of the defense skills because it doesn't actually do much aside from making it so the sinner doesn't need to clash. Even then, getting staggered is a very possible thing that can happen if you use counter, rendering that defense skill and the sinner useless for a turn. The counter skill also takes 5 HP away. Finally, his passives are dependent on allies getting hurt, with Respiration making units deal +10% damage only after taking damage from an attack that turn. The second passive, Self-neglect, makes the ally with the least HP take but also deal +20% damage. Although yes, this does mean more damage, it also means taking more damage, usually leading to death, making the second unit in line get afflicted with the passive.
