Purple Purple B F F
Pros
  • One of the few fusible demons with Phys Pierce, in Purple.
  • High STR and LUK means he will hit hard and crit often.
  • Hell Thrust is very strong against bosses and in Democalypse, especially if he is Panel 3 for auto-charge after every use. At max level it also refunds 2 MP when used, ensuring he doesn't have a big refractory period between casts - so he can spam it even without Divine brands.
  • Panel 4 grants auto-charge upon Mara's first turn, ensuring he is immediately up and running.
  • Meme
Cons
  • Ice Weakness and non-existent bulk makes him go limp at the sight of Ice skills.
  • Expensive to fuse, will quickly blow through your Magnetite reserves. (only 5+5 fusion paths are available)
  • Requires damage boost transfers to supplement his damage.
  • Middling AGI means he will have accuracy issues and occasionally miss the hole. Also doesn't slot into Intimidating Stance teams well as a result.
  • Due to Mara having no single-target attack besides his regular thrust, Anti-Pierce units like Metatron, Kalki and Demiurge are a turn off.
  • Random target skills are a liability against Demeter, and my lawyer has advised not to continue this joke.
Notes
  • A staple of Phys PvE teams with Zaou-Gongen to pound through waves and bosses (such as in AG2 Boss Rush and Hells Park 91-99), as Auto-Charge is an incredibly powerful effect.

Thrust King
ArchPurple.png Transferred Skills Notes:

P3 Mara is an accessible boss killer that can melt HP bars with ease. Pair him with P3 Zaou or use in a Hell Gongen team to gain crits alongside his Charge granted from P3. Charge + Rebellion allows Mara to blow his load on a 2nd Thrust to decimate bosses or Titanomachia to sweep. Use Templar Dragon for more Charge damage if needed.
