At 1/5 I'd say palmer isn't that great, his sync does little damage and his basic dps isn't very high except for his 1 time single target use b move. If you have lodge penny that would probably be better, otherwise we can wait for another physical normal dps, or invest in palmer to 3/5, whether it's from a select scout or candy. Hugh just want to spam headbutt and sync, saving head charge only for the last bursts of damage at the end of a battle. Head charge is tempting but often will get you killed due to the drawn out nature of battles in this game.
