We can keep using them, just on limited roles. Panzers lose to BB that's a given, hold off Muir's debut but I need LeFlur to win to get the gold off Panda whose MIA from Jabe. LeFlur can be champion for only a few weeks till she faces Vivica of BB or Pisces Pink and loses to either one.
After that, his characters can be reserved for when he returns full time.
