Pros
  • Hits hard, with innate Wretched Blow and a +40% damage aura for the party against enemies inflicted with Spirit Chains.
  • Blazing Sacrifice grants +50% Max HP, +100% crit rate, +20% hit rate and Null Bind, along with lowering the Fire Affinity level of all enemies by 1 level, inflicting Fire damage to all enemies with Spirit Chains, restoring 1MP and increasing the ATK/EV/AC of own party when an enemy is inflicted with any Spirit Chains not already afflicting them.
    • This passive synergizes well with other demons who can inflict Spirit Chains at the start of the battle, such as Lost Name, Cleopatra and Masakado B.
  • Heartless Flames deals hard hitting physical-Fire damage on a single enemy, while also inflicting two counts of Corrosion on the hit target, bypassing both Inanna and Vanitas' 1-count Corrosion immunity.
    • If successful, Heartless Flames deal 50% bulwark-piercing Fractional damage on the enemy with the highest current HP. At level 1, it caps at 3000 damage and adds an extra 1000 for each following level.
  • Bloodstained Demon King boosts Max HP, hit rate and crit rate by 20%, providing a good increase to all stats that Blazing Sacrifice already grant. Auto-Debilitate is great for weakening the enemy party quickly at the start of battle.
  • Panels that add extra Fire damage, a bit of extra bulk, Null Charm/Null Bind, and free skill level boosts to Heartless Flames at the start of battle.
Cons
  • Struggles when up against Baphomet A and teal Inanna, as Blazing Sacrifice will need to go off twice before being able to hit them with Fire damage.
  • Also struggles without other party members who inflict Spirit Chains, as Heartless Flames is Moloch A's only way to inflict Spirit Chains.
  • Heartless Flames's fractional damage cap is quite low in the current meta, reaching max boost level is also not easy to do before the enemy gets a turn to act.
Notes
  • take a shot for every time i said "spirit chain" in this entry
