Pros
  • Flames of Gomorrah is an AoE Fire (Physical) skill that Bulwark Pierces and has a chance to inflict Curse on those hit. His innate 65% hit rate allows this move to land more easily, and Fire Amp in Purple allows him to hit even harder.
  • Sins of Sodom provides a Fast-Debilitate while removing Barrier and Tetraja on all when an enemy is cursed, which pairs perfectly with the 80% curse-rate of Flames of Gomorrah, or with Nebiros and Alice A who can curse before your turn.
    • This passive also provides both Fire and Phys Pierce, which is useful while under Indignation or against Repel Phys.
  • Up to three times per battle, Belial applies 1 count of Decay on all Cursed enemies whenever a successful application of Curse happens. If going second in battle, he applies an additional 2 counts of Decay to the enemy with the highest current HP.
    • His role as a T2 unit is bolstered by P1, as he can decrease the enemy's PT icons by 1 if going second.
  • Panel 2 allows him to Crit indefinitely, as well as providing a -20% party-wide damage debuff aura from Cursed enemies.
  • Panel 3 increases his Phys and Fire damage, while also increasing the enemy's damage taken by 30% if they're Cursed.
  • Panel 4 removes 1 count of Intimidation on self, while dealing a light AoE Fire-physical, Bulwark-Piercing attack up to 3 times per turn on cursed enemies. This also applies Might, preventing the waste of his critical from P2.
  • Many top meta threats like Masakado B only block the more troublesome ailments such as Charm or Bind, leaving them wide open to Curse.
Cons
  • Weak to Ice.
  • Lack of ST skills gives him trouble with Fire Anti-Pierce.
  • Reliance on ailments means that teams with Demeter and Apsu shut him down completely.
Notes
  • Many PvE enemies including certain Bosses are not immune to curse, making him an insane Debuffer for PvE.
  • Buffed during the 9/12/24 data update.
