(*Auto rakunda entirely unnecessary in PVP. He is only used as a sweeper in PVP where he deals true damage, unaffected by auto rakunda. He is not used for granting other characters damage either. Teal and Yellow are the best in pvp.)

  • Ailments generally fall flat in late/endgame PvE because of inflated enemy stats
  • Hard countered by Ailment Cleansers like Daisoujou or Kinmamon in PVP.
  • Pestilence only kicks in at the end of enemy's turn, giving them one whole turn to cleanse it away or just outright kill him.
