*[[The First Drop]] is a strong passive granting Ice Pierce, 100% crit rate, 50% battle speed, and a unique effect which places all allies in a state of Lydia at the start of the first turn, increasing their MP gain by 1 while they have Lydia, and giving them 20% damage reduction and ailment immunity. On top of this, the first time his team downs a demon each turn, he generates a press turn.

Pros
  • The First Drop is a strong passive granting Ice Pierce, 100% crit rate, 50% battle speed, and a unique effect which places all allies in a state of Lydia at the start of the first turn, increasing their MP gain by 1 while they have Lydia, and giving them 20% damage reduction and ailment immunity. On top of this, the first time his team downs a demon each turn, he generates a press turn.
  • Primordial Vortex is a strong 300 BP Physical Ice attack, that also casts a one turn Debilitate if successful and ignore endures. Since this can crit, it can do a massive amount of ST damage.
  • Functions similarly to Demeter, offering MP support, ailment immunity, damage reduction, and healing instead of a bulwark.
  • Gains even more speed in panels, along with a self bulwark when going first, more damage, HP, and accuracy.
  • While Demeter theoretically outclasses him, Masakado B's Spirit Chains (Suppression) shuts her re-application of Bulwark down. Apsu, on the other hand, applies Lydia at the start of battle AND has a teamwide Infinite Chakra effect, meaning he works much more effectively as a mana battery as well as providing bonus damage and speed.
Cons
  • 169 AGI is extremely low for his battle speed boosting effects. He's nowhere near as good as boosting speed as other speedy demons like Shiva M.
  • Has no way to reapply Lydia after it expires.
