Teal Purple D D D
Pros
  • Famine's levels and boosts from panels sum to 70% Ice damage before transfers.
  • Soul Divide punishes healing by dealing Fractional damage based on the enemy's current health. Useful in Brands of Sin Vanity stages where healing is abundant.
  • Soul Divide also punishes passive healing such as Erlkonig's Alder King, Hecate's Lunar Awakening and Beelzebub☆'s Panel 1.
  • If panel 2, Soul Divide additionally casts Tarukaja and Tarunda.
  • Famine deals fractional damage to all enemies and depletes 2 MP at the end of their turn. Pairs well with Alice A for a devastating MP denial combination.
  • Panel 4 offers a large HP boost and reduces all magic damage.
Cons
  • Weak to Fire unless Teal.
  • Soul Divide damage is based on Current Health and cannot kill targets.
  • High AGI makes him awkward to slot in slow teams, despite the great synergy with Alice A.
  • Soul Divide can potentially outdamage Demeter's bulwark generation, but for the most part it's not going to be relevant or useful, and will work against you.
Notes
  • The Baphomet Prelim in Light Democalypse will occasionally cast Life Drain, triggering Soul Divide for massive damage. It is a rather unreliable tech though, especially if you have demons that NDR Dark in the same team.
