{{s|xenoserieswiki|Dunban}} first appears in the Battle of {{s|xenoserieswiki|Sword Valley}}, the game's prologue and first tutorial. Wielding the [[Monado]], a legendary sword that it appears only he can use, he almost single-handedly turns the losing battle from a loss into a victory for the {{s|xenoserieswiki|Bionis}} forces. The effort costs him the use of his right arm, but he is taken home to {{s|xenoserieswiki|Colony 9}} and hailed as "Hero of the {{s|xenoserieswiki|Homs}}". When the colony is unexpectedly attacked a year later, he tries to fight again but is unable to keep control of the Monado, which passes to [[Shulk]] instead. From then on, he fights with his left arm, and is no less formidable in combat. After a short rest, he joins Shulk's quest of revenge towards the {{s|xenoserieswiki|Mechon}} (and [[Metal Face]] in particular) for their attack. | {{s|xenoserieswiki|Dunban}} first appears in the Battle of {{s|xenoserieswiki|Sword Valley}}, the game's prologue and first tutorial.

In combat, Dunban is the group's agility tank: his role is to attract the enemy's attention by dealing large amounts of damage and keep their aggro by dodging their attacks. Concurrently, while his health is lower than the other tanks, his physical power and agility (which translates to both accuracy and evasion) are very high. His arts are designed to inflict high damage and be used one after the other in particular combinations to stack status effects on a single target that most other party members are unable to inflict alone. His high agility also allows him to fight enemies at higher levels than him somewhat easier than other physical party members. However, he needs to successfully deal damage to draw his aggro, he can generally only attack one foe at a time, his best arts are auras that can only take effect one at a time, and his evasive skills are meaningless against ether attacks. As a result, he fares poorly against large groups or ether-based enemies. | In combat, Dunban is the group's agility tank: his role is to attract the enemy's attention by dealing large amounts of damage and keep their aggro by dodging their attacks.

Dunban's fate is unknown after the events of ''{{s|xenoserieswiki|Xenoblade Chronicles: Future Connected}}'', as he does not appear in ''{{iw|xenoserieswiki|Xenoblade Chronicles 3}}'', besides as a cameo in a flashback from {{iw|xenoserieswiki|Melia}}, which happens in her last Hero Quest. | |||
