Pros
  • Boasting the third highest Agility in the game, he provides a huge increase to the team's battle speed. This is further amplified if Purple and if P2+3 are unlocked.
  • Corrosive Malice provides Phys Pierce, an innate Speedster, a 100% Critical hit rate, and reduces the count of Spirit Chains of Intimidation received on self by 2, protecting himself against Nuwa's and Medusa's Intimidation.
  • When attacking first at the start of battle, he grants a Press Turn Icon (like Masakado A), places 1 count of Malice and grants Might to all party members.
  • He provides a party-wide aura that grants +40% to Physical hit rate and single-target damage if they have at least 1 count of Malice. Furthermore, when all party members have at least 1 count of Malice, all enemies will take an extra 30% damage from Critical hits.
  • Piercing Tyranny is a powerful Almighty attack that casts a 1-turn Rakunda+ if successful.
  • Great awakening skills that each have their own purpose. Red provides a Dark based Magic attack if encountering an Evasive team, Yellow for buff control and Purple for extra battle speed to further fortify his speed bot role.
  • Good but not mandatory panels. P2 is the main highlight for giving an extra 15% accuracy, 20% Battle Speed boost, providing a 1-turn Tarukaja+ after Piercing Tyranny is used, and dealing another hit of 70BP Almighty damage after his active is used.
Cons
  • Weak to Ice unless Teal.
  • Null Bind is locked behind P1, and is still susceptible to every other ailment.
  • Has no way to re-apply Might.
  • Piercing Tyranny nor Mayhem ignore Counters and Endures or revive seal.
Notes
  • Buffed during the 6/5/25 Data Update.
  • Buffed during the 8/19/25 Data Update.
