*Dx2 Tier List suggestions (PvP focused)

=Tier Criteria=
+
Please follow the following criteria below when writing a tier list entry. Note that this doesn't include Democ.
*Masakado A: Offense/Defense -> 9 Enables the best burst teams both on offense and defense, but is very much capped by the demons you bring with him
+
==PVE==
**<span style="color:#800000"> I disagree, I would still put him at 10, just because of his raw power. He needs a team to be built around, but so does literally every demon, as your team needs synergy. Also Id argue he fits into a lot of comps. So I wouldnt consider that dropping him down. -Maaster </span>
+
The minimal gate for entry into S tier is [[Attribute affinity down]] AND consistent, unconditional Press turn increase like [[Impure Sword of Light]] or [[Lost Name]].
**<span style="color:#1fc600">Not sure if you're talking about General Masakado here instead of Hero. Though exactly that might justify putting him to at least 9.5 on both?</span>
+
Examples include: {{DemonIcon|Kumbhanda|size=32px}} {{DemonIcon|Mephisto|size=32px}} {{DemonIcon|Metatron M|size=32px}}
**<span style="color:#800000"> My bad. Im stupid. (Always confuse the two lmao) Anyway. As you said he enables the best burst teams, so I think 9.5 is justified. The problem is that on def he will not pass (as with everyone) which will make him probably miss since you will probably put 0% in Acc, and rather go full speed to go first. Soo...idk. Maybe 9.5 and 9? </span>
 
  
 +
There are of course exceptions, such as if the demon trivializes the entirety of PvE through insane stall ({{DemonIcon|Demeter|size=32px}}), a cheese strat ({{DemonIcon|Odin A|size=32px}}) or something else.
  
*Garuda: Offense/Defense -> 8 Put on one level with the other fastest demon Karti since I don't think either is significantly enough better to put them one rating apart
+
The current gate for entry into A tier is affinity down OR consistent, unconditional (like camael's) press turn increase due to the gamebreaking effects of both
**<span style="color:#800000"> Im kinda torn on this...on the one hand you are right, on the other hand I would argue that Garuda is more flexible (Karti only benefits Phys Teams). In current Meta I would say Karti is a bit weaker, tho I wouldnt oppose this change. -Maaster </span>
 
**<span style="color:#1fc600">Karti will take up a press turn way less frequently than Garuda, because of Krit passing, is faster and basically has the same kit as Garuda which needs a Speedster transfer while Karti just needs Auto Rakunda, if you even need that at all. Karti is probably better than Garuda for Turbo-Ailments for example. If we were talking PvE I might agree, but I think in PvP Karti is more flexible.</span>
 
**<span style="color:#800000"> Fair enough. Kinda hard to compare the two imo. Having troubles with it, but since they are pretty much just used for speed I think 8 on both is fine. </span>
 
 
 
*Ash: Offense -> 9 Recognizing the fact that she is a mainstay to counter burst teams right now, though meta is shifting which might make this debatable
 
**<span style="color:#800000"> Agreed. Maybe also 8.5 on def? -Maaster </span>
 
**<span style="color:#1fc600">I think MC gets a lot worse if you don't have active control over who to revive and when to revive them, but it's still amazing so I wouldn't oppose that.</span>
 
<br>
 
 
 
*Huang Di: Offense -> 7 Just better Phys Pierce options available, his stats are kind of underwhelming and MP costs are too high
 
**<span style="color:#800000"> Wouldnt oppose this change, tho I do feel that his high crit and heal are pretty strong. -Maaster </span>
 
<br>
 
 
 
*Ixtab: Defense -> 7 Way too easy to play around Ixtab on defense most of the time
 
**<span style="color:#800000"> Agreed. Would also personally bump her offense down, but I cant really say much for that as I have never played with her. -Maaster </span>
 
**<span style="color:#1fc600">I think offense rating is kind of fair since AI is still kind of dumb and there are few defenses that can deal with her gimmick nowadays with few purple GYs and even fewer Indras on defense. Some people are still able to abuse her to get to T500.</span>
 
<br>
 
 
 
*PR: Might deserve a mention for being very easy to build a very strong PvP team around and being the single thing keeping ailments competitive at the top
 
**<span style="color:#800000"> Agreed, tho this is apparantly a hot topic on Discord. Duke it out for yourselves, Im no ailment guy. Fucker hits like a truck tho and fucks up some of my pvp streaks. -Maaster </span>
 
**<span style="color:#1fc600">I think that debate is more about Nergal. Everybody agrees that PR is by far the best ailment unit (as an aside I literally got killed by a PR team while typing this :) )</span>
 
<br>
 
 
 
*Shiva: Offense -> 6 No pierce in addition to just being a blob of stats with no utility making the pierce even more of a necessity. He is good at his niche, but the niche is too narrow
 
**<span style="color:#800000"> Id settle for a 7. I agree 8 is a bit high, but given a Hell Gongen Team, she can pull off some amazing shit. Ive played it and it works.  (If I had better brands I would still play it) -Maaster </span>
 
**<span style="color:#1fc600">I just don't think Biker teams are viable on offense right now, making HIM not that usable and I feel demons in PvP should always be rated depending on the current Meta, meaning that HE might be better when we have more medium speed teams, instead of super fast or super slow.</span>
 
**<span style="color:#800000">Id still argue for a 7. Its not top 100 material but well usable and can kill a lot of enemy comps.</span>
 
 
 
*Susano-o A: Defense -> 9, High ST damage and punishing a ton of more fringe strategies, one of the better defense phys piercers
 
**<span style="color:#800000"> Cant really talk much here. In theory Id agree, but in practice he is either too frail, too blind or too weak. If you have literal perfect brands (HP, Acc and Patk) Id might put him to 9, but...idk. More discussion needed. Personally I dont think he is a 9. -Maaster </span>
 
**<span style="color:#1fc600">I agree that the gap between well built ones is immense ranging from decent but not amazing to almost Masa tier. Though I might be personally biased here after meeting a few with insane brands transfers and builds, with a few doing something similar to Indrajit with some additional stuff on top like crits, punishing passing, and also having some flexibility by being usable as a Phys Drainer. </span>
 
**<span style="color:#800000"> As the Tier List represents the rating I tihnk a 9 is fine because thats him at his best. Just include a note that hes especially brand dependant and will drop if you dont have really good ones.</span>
 
 
 
*Susano-o: Offense -> 7, Defense -> 6 Can't get past endures is very fragile and has no pierce
 
**<span style="color:#800000"> Agree, even though Endures and no pierce doesnt really matter (noone covers weaknesses atm and force NDR is pretty scarce) -Maaster </span>
 
**<span style="color:#1fc600">Yeah it's just fancy ways of saying that I don't think single target nukers that can only nuke once per turn cycle are all that strong right now unless it's for specific revenges, but rating demons for revenge or targeting is dumb</span>
 
<br>
 
 
 
*Trumpeter: Offense -> 6 Apocalypse is too high cost for turn 1 use most of the time and he is too fast for teams that want to go consistently second, his kit also offers almost nothing else with two panels boosting concentrate which still does not make it viable
 
**<span style="color:#800000"> Agree. -Maaster </span>
 
<br>
 
 
 
*V*: Defense -> 8.5 Mostly considering how much free damage it adds to all defense teams since def AI will spend a lot of time with normal attacks
 
**<span style="color:#800000"> Ehhh...In the right team, Id agree. Maybe that makes him too focused on one niche tho? -Maaster </span>
 
**<span style="color:#1fc600">Guess I agree I just think his defense rating should be higher than his offense rating, and he recently got a resurgence due to MasA after growing more and more irrelevant the past few months. I guess maybe just decrease his offense rating by 0.5 instead? Not sure here either.</span>
 
<span style="color:#800000"> Id say 8.5 on def is fine. Just put it in notes/con then that he needs good brands and a team tailored to him else he drops a lot.</span>
 
 
 
*Cu Chulainn: Offense/Defense -> 6 Sweeper with uninteresting statline that is too unfocused, by being split between Physical and Magic, both stat and skill wise
 
**<span style="color:#800000"> He still sweeps hard, so I think 7 is justified. -Maaster </span>
 
**<span style="color:#1fc600">Don't think he sweeps nearly as hard as his competition in the 7s and I never see him anywhere, but I don't feel too strongly about this so I'm fine with leaving him at 7 if other people think so.</span>
 
<br>
 
 
 
*Lilith: Defense -> 7 chain effects are good
 
**<span style="color:#800000"> Sure </span>
 
<br>
 
 
 
*Raphael: Offense/Defense -> 8 Still more common than the other non Gabriel and Uriel angels for the third slot, hits force which is a more common weakness and is good at cleaning up after the other angels
 
**<span style="color:#800000"> Disagree. No Pierce, heals and random targetting make him worse. Also his buff doesnt do shit for Angel Teams. If you cant kill t1, you are dead 99% of the time. Imo there is not really a reason to run him. -Maaster </span>
 
**<span style="color:#1fc600">Like I said it's mostly a usage based argument, though I also don't feel strongly about this one since I don't use him and the only reason he's good against me is because I use a fringe team.</span>
 
<br>
 
 
 
*Garuda A: Offense/Defense -> 7 Fast Magic sweeper with a good statline and some good awakening skills that can also be built around his gimmick. Also Purple is definitely a good arch in PvP so at least change that
 
**<span style="color:#800000"> I tried him out when I got him but couldnt get it to really work. I guess given good enough brands and all panels it could work out better tho. So I wouldnt oppose this change. -Maaster </span>

Tier Criteria

Please follow the following criteria below when writing a tier list entry. Note that this doesn't include Democ.

PVE

The minimal gate for entry into S tier is Attribute affinity down AND consistent, unconditional Press turn increase like Impure Sword of Light or Lost Name. Examples include: Kumbhanda.jpg Kumbhanda Mephisto.jpg Mephisto Metatron M.jpg Metatron M

There are of course exceptions, such as if the demon trivializes the entirety of PvE through insane stall (Demeter.jpg Demeter), a cheese strat (Odin A.jpg Odin A) or something else.

The current gate for entry into A tier is affinity down OR consistent, unconditional (like camael's) press turn increase due to the gamebreaking effects of both
