Now for the bad parts, the techs aren't that useful on FI since you're generally already banking on life steal for heals, zanverse doesn't go well with FI's playstyle and self-buffs were already easily achievable using shifta boots. The lack of Iron Will is very noticeable, with LBI now reliably proccing whenever you fuck up which is kind of a big deal. Achieving Phantom's required PP is not really a con, but will force you to get at least 180PP on units, where most FIs usually bank on ATK + HP (HP being more than ever needed due to lack of IW) so it might be hard to properly balance units accordingly
Overall it's clearly a very viable sub for FI, I'd personally put it second to HU but remains a very decent (the only?) alternative.
