PvE Builds

PvP Builds

Archetype(s)

  • Red: Discounted Myriad Arrows for a strong Phys skill to dish out some damage if necessary.
  • Purple: Enduring Soul for survivability. Especially useful when facing against Surt A.

Skill Transfers

Since Herokado is mainly used for the Extra Press Turn + Offensive buffs from Kuyo Flash, support skills to help the Herokado Turn 1 team build are more useful. But, attacks are still useful in a pinch.

Support Skills:

Attacks:

  • Herculean Strike L: Cheap Phys AoE great for cleaning up any remaining enemies with endures.
  • Vorpal Blade: A stronger Phys AOE to chip enemies so your sweepers can guarantee kills.

Damage Boosters:

Other/Misc. Skills:

Brands

  • Stat priorities: Speed%, Phys ATK%
  • Divine: Allows him to cast Kuyo Flash on turn 1 if not P3 (and if P3, it allows Kuyo Flash to be cast T1 if facing Alice A).
  • Speed: Boosts team speed.
  • War: Boosts damage if needed.
  • Lead: Helps him to be 1st or 2nd in rotation if using other demons that are just as fast if not faster.

Mitama

  1. STR (20): Boosts his damage output.
  2. VIT (10): Adds bulk.
  3. AGI (20): To boost his accuracy and team speed.

ArchPurple.png Transferred Skills Notes:

Any auto buff can replace EOS if you are behind on buff control. You'll want as much Speed% to be as fast as possible, Phys ATK% is secondary, but if you can get both in your brands, all the better.
