Albion.jpg Albion
Purple Yellow S A A A
Pros
  • Flair for the Dramatic provides PFIEF (Phys/Fire/Ice/Elec/Force) Pierce, a 50% boost to his max HP, a +2000 boost to his PDEF, a four time 1HP endure (five with his innate Life Force Survivor) and a party wide 30% damage boost and 20% damage reduction from PFIEF attacks.
    • His damage scales off PDEF. Due to his innate +2000, this means he can easily reach a 4-5k stat. This not only provides gargantuan defense, but lets him deal out big damage.
  • If he manages to survive a T1 onslaught, he will revive himself with 100% HP once per battle at the start of own turn as a Chain Effect.
  • When his Order Crest: Extermination reaches 5 counts, he will decrease the PFIEF Affinity Attribute of all enemies by 1 level and then inflict a 100BP single-target PFIEF attack to the enemy with the lowest current HP.
    • His Order Crest will quickly accumulate due to him getting 2 counts at a time whenever any demon has a weak point struck, and 3 when a party member is revived. Because he lowers PFIEF affinities, this means there will almost always be a weak point being hit.
    • Additionally, a properly built Albion with a good team can knockout T1 units as his Order Crest hits hard enough to down a few enemies even outside his own turn.
  • Pure All-Out Ruin chooses from any of his preferred types, and deals a 100BP single-target attack. The chain effect will dish out another 100BP hit of the same type, will decrease the PFIEF Attribute Affinity of all enemies by 1 level, and grants the party an additional press turn icon.
    • Do not let his low Base Power fool you--his innate extra 2000 PDEF can lead to him easily reaching massive amounts of damage.
  • Amazing awakening skills with Red proving a discounted Earthquake for Phys Democ prelim, Unassailable Giant in Yellow offering Null Mortal/Bind/Charm/Mute and a -1 to Corrosion effect for PvP, Wretched Blow in Purple for further increasing his damage, and Teal for nullifying everything in the game except Dark.
  • Rewarding set of panels, with P1 offering extra damage and Physical damage reduction, P2 offering a -50% Critical hit rate of incoming damage and 15% Reverse damage reduction, and P3 offering a 30% damage boost.
Cons
  • His Chain Effect revive does not remove revive ban, so if he gets revive sealed he will not revive himself.
  • Most of his PvP usefulness is locked behind Unassailable Giant in Yellow, which locks him out of the other benefits of the other awakening skills.
  • Because he relies entirely on PDEF, this means his usage and viability will fluctuate negatively with surges of strong Magic users in the meta, such as Hakumen no Mono.
