Pros
  • At boost level 1, Dragon Chief fires off a 60BP Ice or Force attack on all enemies when an ally strikes a weakpoint. At boost level 5, it is upped to 80BP, letting Pendragon work as a fantastic Ice/Force prelim unit.
    • This skill also increases damage when hitting a weakpoint by 20% per level, capping off at an incredible +100% damage against weaknesses. Combined with innate Butcher, Pendragon's sheer amount of damage boosters make him a prime choice for Ice/Force democalypse.
  • Ruler of the Skies is the glue that brings this kit together, as it inflicts Ice or Force damage to all enemies and increases the boost level of Dragon Chief by 1 if successful, solidifying his role as a prime democalypse player.
  • Strong panels that further boost his utility. With P1 and P3 offering +20% and +30% to Ice/Force damage respectively, and P2 dealing Ice/Force damage to the enemy party when Ruler of the Skies is used.
  • Dragon King's Pride is the perfect awakening skill for Pendragon, offering the rest of the party +20% damage when attacking a weakpoint, letting the rest of the party hit harder during democalypse. Dragon King's Rage in red is a cheaper, single-target Ice/Force nuke with Bulwark pierce. Solar Downfall offers debuffs on the first turn, helping out with buff control.
Cons
  • While still great for democalypse, his lack of Bulwark pierce outside of Dragon King's Rage, no offensive buff swing, and no extra effects like Queen Mab and Ame no Futotama greatly decrease his usefulness for both PVE and PVP.
  • Bulwark pierce only being on Dragon King's Rage means that Pendragon's potential use in Sloth 14 as a Force sweeper is nonexistent.
