Archetype(s)

  • Red: Discounted Trisagion for a discounted and strong ST Fire skill. Great for anti-pierce teams.

Build(s)

Praise the SUN!
ArchPurple.png Transferred Skills Notes:

A powerful mage that can sweep and turn the tide of battle if you're in a tough position. As his self revive activates after Passionate Rage from Atropos, he can come back with the extra Press Turn to spam Pulse and build up Boost Level (Even more effective if most of your other demons die so you can fully maximize the press turns you have). You may consider Agilao L (if not red) as a spammable ST fire skill (especially with Divine brands) to help deal damage even against Anti-Pierce teams. His mitama can be easily adjusted to fit your team build for optimal turn order. You can replace Speed with Ward if you do not plan to use him in faster builds.
