Pros
  • Guardian of the East provides 1 extra Press Turn when going first, enabling devastating Turn 1 Kill strategies like Hero Masakado T1. Additionally, it gives the team 2 MP, a one turn Tarukaja and Sukukaja effect, and at the start of the first turn, a two turn Tetraja effect.
  • Kuyo Flash does a 160 BP Almighty attack scaling on PATK, that does a full Luster Candy and Debilitate swing for one turn.
  • His panels offer great Democalypse support, with him granting up to 35% party damage to AOE attacks while under Tetraja.
  • P3 reduces his MP costs, and grants his team another Tarukaja and Sukukaja effect along with 2 more MP the first time a teammate downs a demon each turn, and P4 gives him an improved Great Idea, granting him 30 to each stat, and 30% battle speed.

  • No good physical attacks to exploit his innate Phys Pierce. Only Phys attack available to him is Myriad Arrows in Red, which has random targeting and is thus not very reliable.
  • Easily countered by outspeeding. This is a problem for last hour PvP, as Masakado A defenses will get relentlessly targetted by players looking to climb last minute.

  • Overshadowed by Unit 01 Dx2 Type.

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.
