Arioch.jpg Arioch
Teal Yellow Purple Any C D D
Pros
  • Has a sizable Bulwark on the first turn, making it fairly hard for T1 teams to kill him, especially when paired with revivers like Xi Wangmu or Maria.
  • Perfect for T2 teams, with Intimidating Stance, incredibly low Agility, and innate Epitome of Endurance.
  • His abilities scale off of max HP, allowing him to do huge amounts of damage based off his HP.
  • At the end of the opponent's first turn, he enters a state of Charge and Rebellion, meaning his next hit will hit like a truck, and he additionally chips at their Max hp
  • Both of his unique attacks go through endures, making it easier for him to sweep with Lionfall.
  • His panels are great, making him even harder to kill and giving him much needed accuracy. In particular damage reduction while under bulwark has good synergy with Demeter.
  • Red has both ST and AoE making it easier for him to avoid anti pierce.
Cons
  • 64 Agility is nice for going slow, but it means he's also completely blind. Needs a ton of accuracy and buff control to hit evasive targets, especially against teams running Guedhe.
  • Lionfall does not have MP reduction in levels, and this can be abused by MP drainers like Camael or Alice A.
  • High HP totals mean fractional damage skills are going to hit harder on him.
  • Has some AI issues when anti-pierce comes into play, which can lead to him wasting his Charge and Rebellion combo on an auto attack.
  • Innate Elec weakness means he'll have a bad time against Elec Bros (Zeus, Odin A and Botis.
  • Only gets his Charge and Rebellion effect once. After his big hit, his damage is effectively neutered making him hard to use against Demeter.
  • Bulwark Pierce completely shuts him down.

Build(s)

King of Ellasar
ArchPurple.png Transferred Skills Notes:

An anti-T1 demon. Bulwark is basically a damage shield that allows him to soak up high damage and thats without taking a hit to his HP. P2 especially makes him take less damage while bulwark is up making him even harder to take out especially with teammates like Maria and XWM. Accuracy boosters can be ran especially against Dodge tank Marias which are built mainly for Astaroths who have way higher AGI and innate accuracy boosters. Teal can be used with Demiurge or Rama but you do lose out on IS unless 2 other IS demons are also ran. Red can be useful against anti-pierce teams allowing Arioch to at least nuke something and not get stopped completely especially on Defense where AI will auto-attack when facing anti-pierce which red helps to fix that.
