Kurthnaga has a water affinity which gives a boost to attack and defense. He won't have much time to reliably build strong supports with many units due to his late join time.

Kurthnaga is the only playable Black Dragon laguz in the game and is one of the last units to join the group, and he is forced into your party for the Tower of Guidance. Unfortunately, he starts at a severe level disadvantage, with his base stats being below average from what is expected for an endgame exclusive unit.
