**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.

Concentrate PvP Offense Slow Team Build
ArchPurple.png Transferred Skills Notes:

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.)
