Pros
  • Demons are revive sealed when they are killed by Otherworldly Force, a strong force sweeping skill reminiscent of Echidna's pseudo-endure breaking revive sealing AoE. With 218 magic and innate Force Survivor and Butcher, this skill hits hard.
  • Additionally gains 35% force damage through panels, only further increasing sweeping potential.
  • Applies Gloom to enemies at the start of the 1st turn.
    • In addition, while Nyarly is alive, all enemies will take 25% additional damage from magic and deal 25% less magic damage, as long as they are affected by Gloom
  • With an absurd four repels, he combos well with Demiurge or Atavaka and he also happens to be a Vile demon, helping him fit with Pales. This is of particular note with him countering Koga Saburo well, as force repel is rare.
  • Offers buff control in P2 when Gloom is applied, helping him contribute even more to the team.
  • He is of special note in democalypse prelim rounds, where he adds a 25% damage boost to the entire team.
Cons
  • Has no way to reapply Gloom, so if a unit dies and is revived, the benefits are lost.
  • Otherworldly Force isn't a true endure breaker, so it won't always be able to punch through enemies, especially if they have multiple endures.
  • Isn't the tankiest demon so he will struggle to survive in slower teams, and if he dies, the magic damage amp on Gloom is lost.
  • More or less needs Concentrate to do damage to Demeter teams. This makes him more useful as an offense demon over defense, where you can't guarantee his casting habits.

Winds of Destruction
ArchPurple.png Transferred Skills Notes:

An insanely strong Force sweeper that also revive seals. Concentrate with Gloom allows him to blast away enemy teams with Otherwordly Storm. He can also be used in slow/midrange teams with a dodgy Maria to abuse Gloom and potentially punish and beat Physical-based teams.
