Quick question, why is pope tge 2nd most popular lego in g1 after ingrid? I get why ingrid is tehre, shes THE AOE mage. But why is pope, THE ST Mage, more efficient than the likes of boreas or vierna? I mnow he has that bit of an AOE capability with the chain of fate, but cmon! Any reason why?

Or is he there to min-max ingrid?

Disclaimer: alreadt cleared g1 21 long ago, just curious why, especially since i have pope now
