Pros
  • Everything Evil is a powerful passive that gives your whole team 3 MP at the beginning of the turn. Not only does this counter the MP Drain from Camael's One Who Sees God, it also allows your team to run Spell/War brands instead of Divine for more damage.
  • 16 Scourges chips off 25% of Max HP from the opposing team and inflicts them with every single ailment in the game. The chip damage helps your main sweeper to clean up, while the Ailments can be used to set up for demons like Alice A and Tiamat A.
  • Thanks to his High Luck and Infernal Mask in Purple, he can be run as a Pseudo Cleric if Prayer is transferred (preferably with another Ailment Resist passive like Epitome of Illusion).
  • Panel 2 provides a single turn Luster Candy in addition to the 3 MP, making it even easier for your team to sweep.
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 doesn't have any form of Barrier Break in his kit, meaning someone else with it has to go before him, or else his ailments won't stick.
  • 16 Scourges deals fractional damage, which doesn't scale from MATK, meaning that his high Magic stat is wasted without transferred skills.
  • Demeter essentially removed him from PvP, doing a better job as an MP battery while simultaneously preventing him from using ailments, while negating his fractional damage with Bulwarks.

Fast Spreading Cancer

Perfect for fast T1 teams as he generates extra MP to fire off powerful attacks on turn 1. 16 Scourges provides chip damage to soften enemies to ensure sweepers can kill.

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.
