Pros
  • Is the only unit in the game with a skill, Hell Hound, that gains back a press turn lost to Intimidating Stance, giving him a unique niche on faster teams, and also giving him buff control, reducing their ATK/DEF.
  • Hell Hound also grants an additional Press Turn whenever any party member downs an enemy demon, and applies Charge to Cerberus A.
  • Hell Blaze inflicts 1 count of Intimidation to a single enemy, while Bulwark Piercing and having a follow-up AoE Chain Effect.
  • As his unique attack skill ramps up, it begins to really hurt opposing teams that aren't built for tanking Physical or Fire damage.
  • Phys Pierce along with Fire Pierce in Hell Blaze grants flexibility in avoiding NDR and allows him to be used as bait for Camael and Old Ones' Indignation.
  • P1 allows his Hell Blaze to immediately start at Boost Level 1 while lowering the DEF of all enemies.
  • P2 gives Cerberus A two endures, while lowering the damage output of all foes afflicted with Intimidation. This pairs well with Hell Blaze's application of Intimidation.
  • P3 powers up application of Intimidation even more as whenever an enemy gets afflicted with it, the enemy with the lowest current HP will have its Fire affinity lowered, making it guaranteed being weak to Fire.
Cons
  • With high hit counts, his accuracy can be a liability, requiring a high accuracy investment and therefore, sacrificing damage.
  • His STR and AG stats are both good, but not spectacular, leading to him being outclassed by his competition in terms of damage and speed.
  • Ramp up time in his skill isn't ideal for a team that wants to kill as fast as possible.

ArchPurple.png Transferred Skills Notes:

A great T1 demon as he counteracts enemy Intimidating Stance by replacing the lost Press Turn (once only) and applies a War Cry debuff. Hell Blaze is a good option to weaken enemy tanks before allowing his teammates to clean up as well as it being multi-hit with a decent crit rate means he can easily generate 1/2 press turns. Auto-Rebellion and Charge gained from enemy IS activation means he can nuke down most tanks with ease, especially when using Templar Dragon. Divines/War brands can be used instead if he's used on a more anti-midrange build to dish out more damage.
