*One of the best demons to fuse early as he will trivialize a lot of early content.

*65% damage boosters and 2 MP discount for random/AoE attacks, plus decent STR and MAG stats, let him work as a strong generalist in Democalypse. [[Force Pierce]] in Purple and [[Phys Pierce]] on Panel 4 let him function as a Force or Phys attacker outside of that.

*Impressive Phys damage with [[Gae Bulg]], combined with 100% crit rate from [[Savage Glee]] and panels. He outdamages a max-invested P4 [[Mara]], even if Gae Bulg rolls only 4 hits or fails to crit.
−
*Panels help him maintain relevance late game and are reasonable to strive toward due to how cheap his fusions are.
+
**Effective for BoS Deceit 14, as enemies there will only take damage from random Phys/Almighty attacks, which [[Gae Bulg]] happens to be. He's more stable than [[Mara]] for this, since Mara tends to waste Charge on normal attack. Cu's high crit also gives a good chance of crit-passing if he uses normal attack.
−

Pros
  • 65% damage boosters and 2 MP discount for random/AoE attacks, plus decent STR and MAG stats, let him work as a strong generalist in Democalypse. Force Pierce in Purple and Phys Pierce on Panel 4 let him function as a Force or Phys attacker outside of that.
  • Impressive Phys damage with Gae Bulg, combined with 100% crit rate from Savage Glee and panels. He outdamages a max-invested P4 Mara, even if Gae Bulg rolls only 4 hits or fails to crit.
    • Effective for BoS Deceit 14, as enemies there will only take damage from random Phys/Almighty attacks, which Gae Bulg happens to be. He's more stable than Mara for this, since Mara tends to waste Charge on normal attack. Cu's high crit also gives a good chance of crit-passing if he uses normal attack.

  • No weaknesses is a lifesaver early on, and gives him more flexibility in transfer skills.
  • Cheap to fuse through 4x4 fusions.
Cons
  • High MP costs. Cannot use Mazandyne or Gae Bulg Turn 1 in PvP unless Panel 3.
  • Phys builds are not viable until panel 4, as he lacks Phys Pierce until then, and his low AGI and LUK means his accuracy is poor without P4's accuracy boost.

Going second in PvP and wearing Divine Brands gives Cu Chulainn exactly enough MP to cast a 6 MP Concentrate on his first action and a 7 MP Mazandyne on his second. This build is also effective in PvE content as well. (If you don't have Force Amp, Force Boost is an acceptable substitute.)

With the current meta of very dodgy units, his 100% accuracy can come in real handy to counter said units. When fully paneled, Vorpal Blade will only cost 5 mp, making it very spammable. Gae Bulg will also cost 5 mp and could definitely work for pvp in cases where there arent many enemies left on the field as its 50 base power per hit and the 45% crit rate from Savage Glee and panel 1 means he will hit hard. Increasing his accuracy further with brands will make him even more overkill. Rebellion can be useful if youre up against stacked crit resistance.
