Any Purple Yellow S B B -
Pros
  • Omniscience and Omnipotence downgrades the enemy's Elec resistances by 2 stages - meaning that anyone who doesn't NDR Elec is now Weak to Elec. This also completely shuts down anti-pierce for Elec.
  • Keraunos downgrades Elec resistance by 1 stage, and stacks with the above effect, up to a cap of 3 stages. 3 stages guarantees the enemy is now Weak to Elec. This skill also ignores counters and endures, Revive Bans the enemy if it kills, and attacks 2 separate times per cast, potentially landing 2 kills. With maxed skill level and Panel 1, it only costs 4 MP.
  • Panel 2 increases his team's accuracy and damage against weak points, and his innate Wretched Blow increases his own damage against weak points. Further, he casts a 100BP AoE when any party member hits a weak point, and generates a press turn (once per turn).
    • These effects are all extremely valuable in Democalypse.
  • Automatically casts a 100BP ST attack at the start of the enemy's turn. This can chain into effects such as Hachiman's Jingu's Divine Light, potentially offering a lot of offensive pressure before the enemy can act.
    • This ST attack can help counter Bulwarks on the enemy team, as their Bulwarks will wear off at the start of their turn - leaving their HP bars exposed.
  • All of his colors have a use, but for general purposes Purple is best.
  • Trivializes a lot of PvE content, due to opening up an Elec weakness where normally a weakness would not exist. Hell's Park 100 is a prime example of this, where King Frost's anti-pierce Null can be bypassed by reducing his Elec resistance to Neutral or Weak, letting an Elec team sweep the fight with ease.
Cons
  • Weak to Force unless Teal.
  • No crit rate support in his kit (aside from Rending Thunder).
  • The AoE upon hitting a weak point is counter-productive against Demeter, as it will cause her to re-cast Bulwarks on her team. Additionally, it doesn't prevent counters, which can lead to Zealous Rebel Chi You killing him on his own turn.
  • No Bulwark Pierce hurts a lot in a meta where Bulwark is spammed to no end thanks to demons like Walpurgisnacht and Madoka Kaname. Consider pairing him up with Loup-Garou to mitigate this.
Notes
  • Attribute affinity down does not work in Democalypse.
  • For manual play, the 100BP ST at start of enemy turn will hit whoever your cursor is on. On Auto and/or Defense however, you are at the mercy of the AI for who he hits.
  • If building him for Democalypse, try to transfer a "Rending <element>" skill (for Prelim) or an "<element> Slash" skill (for Boss) to make use of his PATK. These skills are only available through events, though - so if you don't have them, you may have to run a magic skill instead.
