Dwalin gets overlooked a lot for the spirit dwarf spot because Nori fills the same role, but much more reliably. I doesn't help that there's a good ally Dwalin. I think he can still be quite good against some quests. he attacks for three with Dain, and can take advantage of Dwarven Axe and Dwarrowdelf Axe and Dagger of Westernesse is great synergy. I know, I know, one must include Tactics for those weapons, but, what sphere is really good at killing stuff? Tactics. Dwalin can help out them with threat reduction, one of Tactics weaknesses. So, if you're ever going to play an orc heavy quest, consider Dwalin.
