Pros
  • Has full Pierce on two elements.
  • Barbed Spear deals three separate hits to all enemies while its follow-up Chain Effect hits twice on random enemies, allowing it to function as an Endure breaker. It becomes more powerful with each use as its boost levels give extra hits to its Chain Effect.
  • Culann's Hound provides him an Auto-Charge at the end of turn. This allows him to deal big damage the next attack if he is not dealt with. Additionally, he increases Phys and Force damage for the party with an additional boost if they are AoE or random targeting skills.
  • Teal has Drain Phys to pair with Kalki, Femto, or Yggdrasil in Drain Teams, increasing his survivability.
  • P1 gives extra hit rate to make sure Barbed Spear lands all 12 hits.
  • P3 increases his Force damage while immediately adding a boost level to Barbed Spear and lowering DEF if attacking first.
  • P4 gives his team a full additional Press Turn whenever him or an ally strike a weak point.
Cons
  • Needs to survive an entire round to make use of Auto-Charge.
  • Missing just one of Barbed Spear's 12 hits results in lost Press Turns.
  • His PTgen is locked behind P4.
Notes
  • Auto-Charge does not activate when waves are cleared in PvE.
  • Barbed Spear has a hidden accuracy bonus. Combined with innate Epitome of Aggression this gives him more accuracy than one would initially expect.

An absurdly strong sweeper that utilizes Force damage being an element that lacks common NDRs, allowing him to consistently pummel teams. Teal can be used for a Drain team to act as a strong sweeper as well as a Drain Phys demon.
