Purple Teal Purple A C C
Pros
  • Innate Phys Amp in Purple combined with THE HIGHEST STRENGTH stat allows him to dish out ridiculous amounts of Phys damage.
  • Warlord's Wrath is a great passive that gives him a double Intimidating Stance, a 200 BP Counter with 100% counter rate and Phys Pierce.
  • Occult Flash is a high damage, high crit-rate single target skill that will inflict Mortal with 100% chance.
  • Has no weakness and a perfect base kit, allowing you to tailor his remaining transfer slots however you like.
  • Gains Drain Phys in Teal which synergizes well with his innate Drain Dark, allowing him to act as Anti-Pierce for both Phys and Dark when paired with Drain Pierce units such as Rama or Demiurge.
  • Counters Chi You and to a lesser extent Camael and Zeus, having both mortal and a 200 BP counter, severely punishing his lack of counter resistance.
Cons
  • Low Agility leads to accuracy issues, especially against evasive targets.
  • Is very frail thanks to a low VIT and HP stat.

PvE Builds

PvP Builds

Archetype(s)

  • Purple: Phys Amp to boost his damage on his attacks. Saves a skill slot
  • Teal: Drain Phys. Makes him great in Drain teams.

Skill Transfers

Damage Boosters to dish out as much damage with Vorpal Blade and Occult Flash on Null Mortal demons. Accuracy boosters to fix his shaky accuracy. Crit boosters to capitalize on his naturally high crit rate. Support skills as his base kit does a lot. Endures to help fix his relatively low bulk.

Damage Boosters:

  • Phys Amp: Highest Phys damage modifier if not purple.
  • Epitome of Carnage: Phys damage + crit modifier.
  • Phys Survivor: Phys damage modifier + endure.
  • Wicked Strike: Crit damage + crit rate modifier.
  • Death Blow: Pairs well with his high crit rate and P2.
  • Phys Boost: Early game/budget option.

Crit Boosters:

  • Auto-Rebellion: Gives him a guaranteed crit on T1 to nuke, and can allow him to constantly crit if he rack up kills and has P2.
  • Savage Glee: Highest crit rate modifier for consistent crits instead. Be wary of crit rate reduction from the likes of Epitome of Fortitude and Wild Instinct.
  • Epitome of Carnage: Phys damage + crit modifier.
  • Bloody Glee: Early game/Budget option.

Accuracy Boosters:

  • Great Aim: Highest accuracy modifier
  • Epitome of Finesse: Crit + accuracy modifier.
  • Epitome of Aggression: Accuracy modifier + Ailment resistance.
  • Good Aim: Early game/budget option.

Support skills:

  • Auto skills: Provides buff control.
  • Lunar Prosperity/Downfall: Similar to Autos but 2 in 1. Only Lunar as he wants to be in a slow team to capitalize on his innate IS.

Endures:

  • Enduring Soul/+: Adds survivability.
  • Phys Survivor: Phys damage modifier + endure.
  • Endure: Early game/budget option.

Brands

  • Stat priorities: Phys ATK%, HP% Phys AC%,
  • Life: Adds much needed bulk.
  • Divine: Allows him to cast Vorpal Blade more often and spam Occult Flash with P3.
  • Ward: Protects him from ailments for 3 turns.
  • Aim: Boosts accuracy.

Mitama

  1. STR (20): To boost damage output.
  2. VIT (20): Boosts his bulk.
  3. LUK (10): Increases his chances of landing attacks and crits.

Build(s)

The Wrath of the Samurai Baldy
ArchPurple.png Transferred Skills Notes:

This build is perfect for Midrange and IS teams. Try to get rid of revivers first if not, go ham with either Vorpal Blade or eliminate threats with Occult Flash. Use Teal if you have a better drain team than IS or midrange.
