MVP in Brand of Sin: Deceit 11-12. Being able to draw in Fire of Sinais from Metatron and take little to no damage from it with his passive and the added bulk and Mag DEF from Life + Shield brands. Ashura hits Metatron real hard especially when powered up from P3 Zaou while also removing Meta's buffs. Max AGI investment is mandatory to go first in a rotation if Herokado is used, so as to immediately remove Meta's buffs.
