Samael versus Nergal

P3 Samael and Nergal both play a similar role in providing Barrier Break for Ailment teams.

  • Nergal casts Weak alongside Barrier Break. This allows your other Ailments to land 100%, letting you ignore Ailment Infliction rates on those demons.
  • P3 Samael's Barrier Break occurs at the start of the turn, without consuming a Press Turn. This effectively gives you an extra press turn to land an additional element, kill their Ailment cleaner etc and is invaluable versus double Intimidating Stance.
  • Samael requires more investment as his Fast Barrier Break only unlocks at P3. Nergal is useable the moment you pull him.
  • Samael has the additional perk of casting Fast Makara Break, which can be handy for other team compositions.
  • Samael comes with Ailment skills of his own, whereas Nergal can be used as a secondary damage dealer.
  • When paired with Pale Rider, damage does not matter as he will kill all poisoned enemies in two turns without fail.
