Pros
  • Everything Evil is a passive that gives a 20% Speed boost, a 30% boost to the ailment infliction rate of his party, and recovers 3 MP for the party at the beginning of the turn.
  • 16 Scourges chips off 25% of Max HP from the opposing team and inflicts them with every single ailment in the game.
    • The amount of ailments apply will activate different effects of his Status ailment resonance counts: At 3, he will cast a 1-turn Debilitate after using his active, and at 5, he will apply 1 count of every Spirit Chains in the game (excluding Suppression), to random enemies.
  • Panel 1 provides +3 to his MP limit, a 25% boost to his evasion, and a 50% boost to his Max HP.
  • Panel 2 provides a single turn Luster Candy in addition to the 3 MP, making it even easier for your team to sweep.
    • Additionally, it will deal a 10% Fractional damage hit based on current HP on a single enemy while draining 1MP from them after his active is used.
  • Panel 3 increases his speed by another 20%, increases his Max HP by another 50%, and increasing his chances of landing ailments by 20%.
  • Panel 4 provides a valuable Barrier Break, as it changes his normal attack to a 100BP Magic-based Almighty attack on a single enemy that proceeds to remove Barriers from all enemies. Additionally, it provides a Party Effect that provides a 10% boot to Ice/Elec/Dark/Almighty damage.
Cons
  • Weak to Light unless Teal.
  • Not very useful for PvE as his passive has limited uses, and Ailments generally fall flat late game due to inflated enemy stats.
  • He needs P4 to break Barriers, and then needs to waste a turn removing them with his normal attack. This means someone else with it has to go before him, or else his ailments won't stick fast enough.
  • Hayataro essentially removed him from PvP, doing a better job as an MP battery while simultaneously preventing him from using ailments.

Unkillable Cockroach
ArchTeal.png Transferred Skills Notes:

For the more sadistic team builds. Dodge + Evade is annoying to no end. You can also go for a more HP tank build and replace Evade with Epitome of Fortitude and Dodge for Ward to protect him from ailments.
