But I can tell you he seems like a support character (kind of like Sentinels). This means he supports your allies.
Pick allies that fill the gap that his abilities leave. For example, you say he's squishy. So partner him with a green bat or green dog of war. They will take his hits and keep him alive while he does what he does best.
Also, you say he does subpar damage. I doubt an Eddie is both squishy AND does subpar damage, so I think you've possibly built him wrong. BUT, if he does subpar damage (as the green Eddies generally do), pair him with a very HIGH damage dealer while he does his support thing. IF he is both squishy AND does subpar damage AND has limited function for support, I would question even using him at all.
I have some Troopers who use him as their champion and he seems just fine to me. Check other people's builds and tweak yours to fit your needs.
