Atavaka			C	F	F	-
Pros	While alive, War Aid will prevent Pierce skills from going through Repel resistances. Intimidating Stance is a good passive for PvP and synergizes with his low AGI. Enemy Annihilation fully debuffs enemies before chaining into a piercing Physical AOE attack. Because the AOE is a chain effect, you will not lose Press Turns even if it misses and/or hits into Phys NDR + Anti-Pierce, allowing him to spam it without concern.
Cons	Weak to Ice unless Teal. Very high MP costs. Does not have innate Phys Pierce. This can cause issues with his AI attacking into Tetraka Shift and/or Physical NDR when out of MP or under Spirit Chains (Indignation). Completely powercrept by Baphomet A, Yggdrasil and Kalki, who not only have both Drain Pierce and Repel Pierce, but also incredible support capabilities. Even the fusible Metatron outclasses Atavaka, as Metatron has higher bulk and damage potential while also having Repel Pierce. Attribute affinity down completely shuts down his niche.
