| Pros |
- Die for Me! inflicts Mortal (instant kill) and bypasses Endure-type skills, making her incredibly valuable in deleting key demons for PVP.
- High MAG stat combined with Dark Amp in purple makes her a very powerful Dark Mage.
- Incredible panels that give her damage amplification, MP cost reduction and increased uses of her signature unique skill.
- She's cute!!
|
| Cons |
- Needs Dark Pierce (weak) and Panel 3 to really shine.
- Needs to run Divines without Panel 2 for first turn Die for Me! and to mitigate long term MP issues.
- Weak to Light and by extension the Archangels matchup. Teal fixes this somewhat but you lose Dark Amp in return.
|
| Notes |
- She has pretty bad AI (will sometimes Mamudoon instead of spamming DFM), keep this in mind when using her for Defense.
- Mortal is lot less powerful against Xi Wangmu teams, as she will simply resurrect the Mortal-ed target and is immune to Mortal herself.
|

 Alice A

2 |
| Pros |
- The only demon in the game with AOE Mortal. When paired with curse support like Nebiros, she can easily decimate entire teams without Null Curse and/or Null Mortal.
- Drains 1 MP from the enemy at the start of their turn, which stops MANY T1 sweepers (eg Baal, Anat, Uriel) in their tracks.
- Trivializes almost all PVE content like Aura Gate and Hell's Park - pair her with an AOE curse inflictor and instakill everyone!
- Purple gains Null Mortal which prevents her from being killed by other Mortal users.
- She's cute!!
|
| Cons |
- Hard countered by Null Curse and Null Mortal.
- Weak to Light and by extension the Archangels matchup. Teal fixes this somewhat but you lose Null Mortal in return.
|
| Notes |
- Cannot be used in the same team with OG Alice.
|

 Alilat

1 |
| Pros |
- While alive, Repel Pierce will prevent pierce skills from going through Repel resistances. This is very useful when combined with demons that have high natural Repels (like Asura Lord or Vairocana) or against popular attack elements like Physical (example Teal Gogmagog).
- Very high LUK stat allows her to be used as both an Ailment inflictor and a cleanser (especially with innate Infernal Mask and P1).
- Good HP and Vit stats and no weaknesses give her a lot of bulk.
- Very cheap to fuse.
|
| Cons |
- Megidola is a wasted skill as her Magic stat is low.
|
| Notes |
- One of only three demons that can negate pierce, and the only fuseable source. A near Must-Have demon for PVE, as Repel Pierce paired with appropriate demons is perfect for cheesing most Boss fights.

3 |
| Pros |
- One of the best PVE support demons in the game. Tenson Kourin is the best buff spell in the game, guaranteeing you will have all 3 buffs at the end of cast.
- Gains access to discounted Mediarahan in Yellow, which heals for a lot thanks to her high magic stat.
|
| Cons |
- Maragion is a wasted slot for support builds.
- High MP cost
- Weak to Elec
|
| Notes |
- Panels are very lackluster.
- Healing is less important in PvP, reducing her potential there.

 Ananta

1 |
| Pros |
- Purple provides all 3 Auto-Buffs, which is incredibly strong
- Reasonable bulky with 3 Nulls makes him a decent support demon. War Cry or Recarmdra can be transferred to increase his support potential.
- Works well in slow double Intimidating Stance teams, and can be deliberately left at level 1 to lower battle speed if used as a pure buff bot.
|
| Cons |
- Weak to Force
- Buffs disappear after a wave is cleared in PvE, so Auto-Skills aren't as valuable there.
- Relies heavily on transfer skills to function well. Unfortunately most good transfer skills are Gacha-only.

| Pros |

- Weak to Force
- Panel 2 is Mandatory for Turn 1 Thunderstorm.
- Expensive to fuse and only available in clear. Colored variants are Gacha exclusive.
- Only Thunderstorm and Killer Impulse have pierce.
|
| Notes |
- Requires additional MP Support when going against Alice A teams
- Red gives her discounted Thunder Reign which can be used against Elec Anti-Pierce such as Rama + Mother Harlot. Note that it does not pierce though!
|
|
 Angra Mainyu
|
|
|
3 |
5 |
5 |
1 |
1 |
| Pros |
- Everything Evil is an incredibly powerful passive that gives your whole team 2 MP at the beginning of the turn. Not only does this counter the MP Drain from Alice A comps, it also allows your team to run Spell/War brands instead of Divine for more damage.
- 16 Scourges chips off 25% of Max HP from the opposing team and inflicts them with every single ailment in the game. The chip damage helps your main sweeper to clean up, while the Ailments can be used to set up for demons like Alice A and Pale Rider.
- When used with Atavaka or Alilat, innate Repel Elec helps to soft-counter Atropos, as the second part of Passionate Rage will not proc if the first Elec part is Anti-Pierced.
- Thanks to his High LUK and Infernal Mask in Purple, he can be run as a Pseudo Cleric if Prayer is transferred (preferably with another Ailment Resist passive like Epitome of Illusion).
- Panel 2 provides a single turn Luster Candy in addition to the 2 MP, making it even easier for your team to sweep.
|
| Cons |
- Weak to Light
- Not very useful for PVE as his passive has limited uses, and Ailments generally fall flat late game due to inflated enemy stats.
- Has a very expensive banner, requiring 27,500 gems for a guaranteed copy.

| Pros |
|
| Cons |
- As Archangels are mostly used as Glass Cannon teams, God's Grace is irrelevant most the time (outside of the passive damage boost).
- Angra Mainyu pretty much does he job without eating a Press Turn.
|
| Notes |
- The MP restoration aspect is very powerful in the current PVP meta as a counter to Alice A's passive MP Drain. This is most notable on an Archangels comp, who previously had to run suboptimal techs like Lakshmi A to avoid being crippled by Give me Jewels. Even outside Archangels, he can function as an offensive MP Battery to give T1 teams even more muscle.
|
|
 Ardha
|
|
|
4 |

5 |
| Pros |
- Sahasrara is an incredibly stacked passive that provides additional MP regen, damage, hit rate and healing effectiveness.
- Ruin and Grace is a very hard-hitting ST skill that has a high critical rate and heals your whole party if it hits. Combined with high natural MAG and innate Epitome of Carnage, Ardha can deal massive damage while keeping your party healthy.
- Naturally drains Fire and Elec while gaining Drain Phys in Teal. This makes Ardha an incredible partner for Demiurge, especially to soft-counter Atropos, as the second part of Passionate Rage will not proc if the first Elec part is Anti-Pierced.
- Can be used in Phys Democalypse as a powerful boss unit, particularly in purple for Merciless Blow.
|
| Cons |
|
| Notes |
- Run Ardha with Lakshmi A to give your whole team near unlimited MP.
|
|
 Asherah

2 |
| Pros |
- Mother's Creation revives a unit with full HP while also generating Press Turn, allowing the resurrected unit to act immediately.
- Silent Prayer in Yellow allows her act as a Pseudo-Cleric and also remove Barrier, Tetraja, Charge etc.
- Innate Mediarama and Recovery Amp in Purple lets her function as a decent PVE healer.
- Functions well in a Moirai Sisters team, as she can fulfill the Lady/Femme requirements while still providing massive utility.
|
| Cons |
- Weak to Ice and Dark, both very common attacking elements.
- Low AGI means she will need Lead Brands or even slower teammates to work as a Cleric.

| Pros |
|
| Cons |
- Weak to Ice
- As nothing in his kit boosts damage, damage booster transfers are mandatory.
|
| Notes |
- His only Piercing attack being Random Target makes him near unusable in PvP. Using Ashura against Masakado means your death.
|
|
 Asura Lord
|
|
|
5 |

5 |
3 |
| Pros |
- Incredibly high ST damage that also generates press turns thanks to his high Crit Rate.
- Passively increases your team's Crit Rate and Crit Damage through Endless War. Pairs very well with Kartikeya, as their combined passives will give your team a whopping +40% boost to Crit Rate.
- Slaughter All is fully unblockable and ignores Endure-type skills, allowing you to delete any demon he claps. It is also very useful to clean up any remaining enemies (usually bosses) after your AOE demons have unleashed their payload, notably D11 Metatron.
- Red gives him a powerful AOE in Gigantomachia. Combined with his innate Great Aim and pierce in Endless War, this makes him a terrifying sweeper.
- Good repel resistances makes him a natural partner for Alilat or Atavaka. Fire and Light repel is especially useful to counter Archangel teams, as it makes him immune to both their AOE elements.
|
| Cons |
- Hard to raise Slaughter All's damage further as it is of the Almighty element.
- High MP cost mandates the use of Divine Brands if Panel 2 is not unlocked, which can slightly reduce his damage potential.
- Middling AGI makes him slightly awkward to fit in fast or slow teams.

 Atavaka

| Pros |
- While alive, War Aid will prevent pierce skills from going through Repel resistances. This is very useful when combined with demons that have high natural Repels (like Asura Lord or Vairocana) or against popular attack elements like Physical (example Teal Gogmagog).
- Intimidating Stance is a very powerful passive for PVP and synergizes with his low AGI.
- Enemy Annihilation fully debuffs enemies before chaining into a piercing physical AOE sweep. Because the AOE is a chain effect, you will not lose press turns even if it misses and/or hits into Physical NDR, allowing him to spam it without concern.
|
| Cons |
- Weak to Ice.
- Very high MP costs. Running Divine sets hurt his overall damage and/or Bulk.
- Does not have natural Pierce. This can cause issues with his AI attacking into Tetra Shift and/or Physical NDR when out of MP.
|
| Notes |
- One of only three demons that can negate pierce. He is also the only one with Intimidating Stance.
|
|
 Atropos
|
|
|
2 |
5 |
5 |
3 |
3 |
| Pros |
- One of the core demons in the Moirai Sisters archetype. When combined with two other Lady or Femme demons (preferably her two other sisters), Passionate Rage dishes out massive damage before the battle really even begins.
- Since Passionate Rage triggers at the start of the opponent turn, she can easily kill frail Turn 1 Sweepers especially if combined with the buff swing from Lachesis' Passionate Embrace.
- Severed Fate deals Piercing Single Target damage and will automatically target Fire, Ice, Elec or Force weaknesses. Combined with innate Merciless Blow, she can heavily punish any demons who leave weakness open.
- Purple gives her Infinite Chakra, allowing her to spam Severed Fate repeatedly even while on Spell Brands. Red gives her access to discounted Judgement, useful if you want an AOE to compliment her passive chains.
- Her Panels provide valuable ailment immunity, making it harder for Ailment Teams to sweep her on revenge.
|
| Cons |
- If the first Elec part of Passionate Rage is Anti-Pierced (for example Rama-Mother Harlot, Atavaka-Aniel), the second Fire part will not proc, literally halving her damage.
- Requires a good team built around her.
- Awkward mix of 4 Elements plus having both ST and AOE skills makes it difficult to boost her damage outside Elemental Cycle.
- As Press Turns are calculated based on the number of demons alive at the start of the turn, any demons who survive Passionate Rage will gain access to multiple press turns. Several demons like Guts and Anat can abuse this to reverse sweep instead.
- Due to the way the Moirai Sisters archetype is typically built, Revive Sealing units like Skull Knight are a very powerful counter.
|

 Azazel

4 |
3 |
| Pros |
- The only demon in the game with access to two innate Endures. He can stack up to 4 Endures as a result, giving him immense survivability as long as it is not bypassed.
- Fallen Grigori provides him HP and MP sustain every turn (as long as he is below the 50% threshold). Combined with his Endure stacks, this can make him very difficult to kill.
- Guillotine Blaze is a low MP single target Fire Nuke that pierces, ignores Endures and has high crit rate. This is further augmented by innate Fire Amp and constant Rebellion from Fallen Grigori.
- Panel 2 fire off a free Guillotine Blaze every turn, letting him deal extra damage without consuming MP.
|
| Cons |
|
| Notes |
- Red provides him discounted Maragidyne, giving him access to an AoE skill for PVE and/or Democalypse. Note that it will not pierce though!

- Requires additional MP Support when going against Alice A teams.
- Red gives him discounted Killing Wind which can be used against Force Anti-Pierce such as Rama + Susano-o A. Note that it does not pierce though!

 Barong

3 |
| Pros |
- Barong Dance provides a decent AOE heal while giving the party a full Luster Candy buff. It also has infinite uses and can be reduced to a mere 5 MP when maxed with Panel 1 unlocked.
- Very high AGI allows him to be used as a fast support, especially with Speedster transferred for Battle Speed requirements.
- Can be used as a buffer for Elec Democalypse thanks to Barong Dance having high cast priority.
|
| Cons |
- Weak to Force and Dark.
- Low MAG stat means he won't heal for much.
- Elec attack spells (and Elec Amp in purple) are wasted slots considering his bad Magic stat.
|
| Notes |
- Niche use in Aura Gate as giving him Support AI with his MAtk low enough guarantees he'll heal you with Barong Dance no matter your HP. This is useful to recover HP lost from Talk and/or enemy encounters.

 Bayonetta☆
|
|
Any |
2 |

1 |
2 |
| Pros |
- Madama Stomp levels and Savage Glee in purple give her enormous crit rates.
- Madama Stomp autocasts an Almighty attack that also charms whenever she lands a crit. Deals decent damage after being buffed to scale off her PATK.
- Gomorrah (B) has high base damage and crit chance, letting you delete an enemy and charm the rest of the team.
|
| Cons |
- Highly dependant on having Panel 2 unlocked for Phys Pierce.
- Gomorrah (B) takes two turns to charge, and is difficult to build due to it scaling off both PATK and MATK.
- Mediocre overall stats, bad bulk.
|
| Notes |
- No longer meme :(
- Limited-time Collaboration unit. Nobody knows if she will be rerun.
|

 Belial

5 |
2 |
| Pros |
- Flames of Gomorrah is a hard hitting fire phys skill that pierces, crits and can be cast T1 even with War brands. Fire Amp in Purple makes it even deadlier.
- Sins of Sodom provides Fast-Debilitate if an enemy is cursed which pairs perfectly with the 80% curse-rate of Flames of Gomorrah, or Nebiros who can curse before your turn.
- Panel 2 allows him to Crit indefinitely.
|
| Cons |
|
| Notes |
- Many PvE enemies including certain Bosses are not immune to curse, making him an insane Debuffer for PvE.
|
|
 Berserker Guts
|
|
|
3 |
5 |
5 |
1 |
3 |
| Pros |
- Berserk is the hardest-hitting ST skill in the game right now, sporting a massive combined 300 BP with sky-high Crit Rate, which also ignores any Endure skills. In addition, if the first part of the skill manages to kill the target, the chain effect will go off on a separate demon, effectively letting you clean up two demons in one go.
- High AGI and STR, coupled with his massive damage output, makes him a perfect fit for fast T1 teams, especially if paired with Masakado A, Angra Mainyu etc.
- Gains access to the rare Death Blow in purple, further increasing his damage. Red gives him access to discounted Binge Eating which helps to offset the fixed damage from Berserker Armor.
|
| Cons |
- Berserk only has two charges. This makes missing particularly painful for him.
- Berserker Armor takes off 40% of his Max HP and the end of the opponent's turn, effectively turning him into a ticking time bomb.
|
| Notes |
- Berserker Armor reduces ALL damage he takes by 40%. As damage reduction stacks additively, it is possible to reach over 100% AOE Reduction if combined with demons like Orcus + Slime and take literally zero damage (outside of Fractional damage).
- Limited-time Collaboration unit. Nobody knows if he will be rerun.

 Black Frost

5 |
2 |
| Pros |
- High Magic stat and innate Pierce on Go to Hell! makes him a good magic sweeper.
- Curse of Anguish and Panels pair well with Yama who automatically curses everyone at the start of the Boss wave.
- Go to Hell! has a high Curse chance, which lets him setup for other curse-based sweepers like Alice A.
- Yellow gains access to Concentrate to further increase his sweeping potential.
- Innate Mabufudyne and Ice Amp in Purple lets him function as an excellent Ice Sweeper too, especially for Democalypse.
|
| Cons |
- Weak to Light
- Go to Hell! has low base power and does not gain damage on level up.
- His damage output is below average and needs his Curse gimmick.
- Dark element AOEs are severely countered by the PVP Meta (Masakado + Rama or Atavaka + Hecate)

 Black Maria

1 |
1 |
| Pros |
- Black Beckoning grows stronger with every passing turn, culminating in a massive Fractional damage nuke on turn 4.
- Black Lullaby provides an AOE Heal while Muting all enemies. This further chains into a Rakukaja + Sukukaja buff with Panel 2 unlocked.
- High LUK helps her with landing ailments and run a Dodge Tank build relatively well, especially if you have access to Panel 1 and/or Epitome of Madness.
|
| Cons |
- Weak to Force
- Black Beckoning has a low damage cap (3400 Max Damage combined). As a result, she will have trouble killing bulky units without additional damage support.
- Black Beckoning boost level only increases if she is alive at the start of your turn. By repeatedly killing her, you can delay the Fractional nuke indefinitely.
- Black Beckoning has a usage cap of 1 - once the max boost level nuke is fired, it will simply stop functioning for the rest of the battle.
|
| Notes |
- Has decent synergy in a Moirai Sister team - she fulfills their skill requirements being of the Lady race, and the constant passive damage from Atropos brings targets down to Black Beckoning kill range. She will also benefit from any ailment immunity panels they have.
|
|
 Black Rider

|
|
2 |

3 |
4 |
2 |
| Pros |
- Soul Divide punishes healing by dealing Fractional damage based on their current health. Useful in Brands of Sin Vanity stages where healing is abundant.
- Soul Divide also punishes passive healing such as Guan Yu's Loyal God of War and Hecate's Lunar Awakening.
- Famine deals fractional damage to all enemies and saps 2 MP at the end of their turn. Pairs well with Alice A for a devastating MP denial comp.
- Decent Magic stat and good Panels can make him a strong Ice mage.
|
| Cons |
- Weak to Fire
- Soul Divide damage is based on Current Health and cannot kill targets.
- High AGI makes him awkward to slot in slow teams, despite the great synergy with Alice A.
|

 Clotho
|
|
|

1 |
1 |
| Pros |
- A powerful (but not mandatory) addition to the Moirai Sisters archetype, Woven Fate is a 6 times use AOE Heal that also randomly revives one of your fallen teammates. Not only does this allow you to constantly revive Atropos, it also ensures all of their chain effects can go off.
- When combined with two other Lady or Femme demons (preferably her two other sisters), Passionate Allure charms all enemies at the end of her turn. This forces teams to constantly waste turns curing Charm, while Passionate Rage constantly chips at them.
- Has arguably the best Panels for ailment immunity. Panel 1 prevents the team from being swept by Alice A, while Panel 2 makes them immune to Charm in the events of a mirror match.
- High LUK helps her with landing ailments and run a Dodge Tank build relatively well, especially if you have access to Epitome of Madness.
|
| Cons |
- Passionate Allure's Auto-Charm can be punished by Daisoujou on the opposing team. This point is moot if you have Panel 2 Atropos, which makes your team immune to Mute.
- Requires a good team built around her.
- Due to the way the Moirai Sisters archetype is typically built, Revive Sealing units like Skull Knight are a very powerful counter.
|
| Notes |
- As it is classified as a Recovery skill, the AI will spam Woven Fate to heal HP even if there are no downed demons, wasting the charges.
- Highly reliant on having Panels to do well, as she faces stiff competition from other Lady / Femme demons like Xi Wangmu and Asherah for the slot in Moirai Sister teams.
|

 Cu Chulainn
|

|
3 |
2 |
2 |
4 |
4 |
| Pros |
- One of the best demons to fuse early on. He has access to Force Pierce, passable MAG stats and can be easily fused through 4x4 fusions.
- No weaknesses is a lifesaver early on and gives him more flexibility in transfer skills.
- While not common, he can be run as a physical demon to some degree. He has innate Savage Glee and Gae Bolg hits hard against bosses (especially after Panel 1), making him an acceptable option for Phys Democalypse.
|
| Cons |
- High MP costs, cannot Mazandyne Turn 1 in PVP unless Panel 3.
- As nothing in his kit boosts Force damage, damage booster transfers are mandatory.
- No Single-Target attack means he will have trouble against Anti-Force-Pierce like Rama + Susano-o A.
|
| Notes |
- He is mostly an early-game demon, and will fall off once you gain access to stronger Pierce sweepers like Baal and Anat.
- Low AGI makes him useable in Intimidating Stance teams.
|

 Cu Chulainn A

5 |
3 |
| Pros |
- Has full pierce on two elements.
- Barbed Spear deals three separate hits, allowing it to function as an Endure breaker.
- Culann's Hound provides him an Auto-Charge at end of turn. This allows him to deal massive damage the next turn if he is not dealt with.
- Teal has Drain Phys to pair with Rama in Drain Teams, increasing his survivability.
|
| Cons |
- Needs to survive an entire round to make use of Auto-Charge.
- Missing just one of Barbed Spear's 12 hits results in lost press turns.
- As nothing in his kit boosts Force damage, damage booster transfers are mandatory.
|
| Notes |
- Auto-Charge does not activate when waves are cleared in PVE.
- Barbed Spear has a hidden accuracy bonus. Combined with innate Epitome of Aggression this gives him more accuracy than one would initially expect.

| Pros |
|
| Cons |
- Lack of Fire Pierce means she will struggle against Fire NDR.
- Expensive multi-fusion that requires clear Asherah.
|
| Notes |
- In PVP, Fire Pierce (weak) is insufficient due to the popularity of Asherah and Rama.
- Difficult to Panel due to Clear demons only giving 60 spirits.

1 |
| Pros |
- Preach makes him immune to all ailments and will punish enemy teams attempting to use Charm. Cleansing Shout is an Ailment and Debuff Cleanse packed into one skill. These two skills function together to make him the best Cleric in the game.
- Good balanced stats coupled with no weaknesses and a perfect base kit allows total freedom in builds.
- Can work as a bulky tank, evasion tank, healer and/or revive support based on build.
- Very useful for Brands of Sin Sloth 11 auto-runs.
|
| Cons |
- Is a hard support unit, relies on transfer skills to offer anything outside cleanse.
|
| Notes |
- He is very good in the current Meta, both against Curse-focused Nebiros teams and Auto-Charm Clotho teams.

 Dante☆

4 |
2 |
| Pros |
- Rapid Shot deals five hits and puts him in a state of Rebellion without consuming any MP. This can be useful versus MP Denial teams like Alice A.
- High STR and VIT make him a bulky Phys Sweeper with with no weaknesses, perfect for slower Intimidating Stance Teams.
- Million Stab is a piercing multihit AOE skill, useful for breaking Endures. At max levels it also refunds 2 MP on cast, making it easier to spam in PvE.
|
| Cons |
- Low AGI and LUK affects his accuracy.
- Missing just one of Rapid Shot's 5 hits results in lost press turns. The Rebellion Autocast will also not trigger if any shot misses.
- Million Stab has high MP costs, making it difficult to use for PvP.
- No natural Pierce outside Panel 1 might cause issues when out of MP (Rapid Shot does not naturally Pierce).
- His Awakening Skills are mostly useless.
|
| Notes |
- Limited-time Collaboration unit. Nobody knows if he will be rerun.
|
|
 Demiurge
|
Any |
|
4 |
4 |
5 |
1 |
1 |
| Pros |
- The only demon in the game with access to both Drain Pierce and Repel Pierce, Demiurge makes it incredibly easy to outfit your team with Anti-Pierce coverage, shutting down most elemental AOEs.
- To add insult to injury (or in this case more injury to injury), False God triggers an Almighty AOE counter upon a repel, which deals respectable damage thanks to his high MAG stat and boost to almighty damage. This makes him particularly useful versus demons like Atropos and Guan Yu who are rather forced into their AOE spells.
- Supreme Creator provides a team-wide heal upon a drain, which can be useful if run in bulky sustain teams. It also passively reduces the MP cost of all his skills by 1 MP, giving you more flexibility in brands.
- Null Mortal in Purple makes him the only Anti-Pierce demon in the game who is immune to Mortal effects.
- Red grants him access to discounted Ars Magna, a powerful single target Almighty attack.
|
| Cons |
- Does nothing against Almighty and Fractional damage, both of which are extremely common in higher tiers of PVP.
- Stiff competition from Atavaka, who not only has Repel Pierce but also the extremely useful Intimidating Stance passive in Purple.
- Difficult to build optimally as he wants both damage and bulk/evasion; focusing on one will cause the other to suffer as a result.
|
| Notes |
- He can be cheesed with Black Rider - hit into a Drain and watch his entire team lose half their HP.
- Comboes well with piercing attackers that drain or repel their own attacking element, who proceed to purposely hit into Repel Pierce. For example, if Hecate (with a Demiurge teammate) fires off Hell's Trivia into Atavaka + Angra Mainyu, the repelled hit will proc Hecate's own Dark Repel, which will in turn procs Demiurge's False God passive.

1 |
1 |
| Pros |
- Desperate Hit deals damage to random enemies at the end of his turn. This is great for cleaning up lone surviving targets and/or breaking Endures.
- Desperate Hit deals Almighty (Phys) damage, which cannot be negated whatsoever.
- Iron Judgement deals Piercing Physical damage with a high chance to Bind, helping him land Desperate Hit shots. Low MP cost also makes it possible to be cast twice per turn even with War Brands.
|
| Cons |
- Combination of ST, AOE, Phys and Almighty elements in his kit makes it difficult to further boost his damage.
- Fairly mediocre stats
- Iron Judgement has unimpressive Base Power.
- Does not have natural Pierce. This can cause issues with his AI attacking into Tetra Shift and/or Physical NDR when out of MP.

- If you went first, Desperate Hit will trigger before opposing "end of turn" chain effects (like those from Nebiros and/or Hecate), giving you one last chance to clean up before they kick in.
- If Charge or Rebellion is activated before the end of the turn, the effect will carry over to Desperate Hit. It will consume the buff after the attack though!

| Pros |
- Golden Greed greatly increases poison damage, giving him a unique niche against Celestial Gui Xian.
- Red Fafnir meme pull.

| Cons |
- Does not have any other niches outside Celestial Gui Xian.
- Weak to Ice and Elec.
- Red Fafnir meme pull.

 Flauros
|
|
|

2 |
5 |
4 |
| Pros |
- With Panel 2 unlocked, Flauros absolutely wrecks Phys Democalypse Prelim Phase, farming an absurd amount of multiplier due to the way his skills are coded (see notes for more details).
- Comboes well with Marici, as Iron Fist and Hell Leopard are considered different skills and will hence trigger Shimmer Arrow twice.
- Can also be used in the Democalypse Boss Phase, as Hell Leopard will confer Tarukaja and Sukukaja to the team, allowing your other teammates to hit harder.
|
| Cons |
- Weak to Ice.
- Does not gain true Phys Pierce unless fully panelled. This can cause issues with his innate Death Counter and/or when he runs out of MP. It also makes his Red Archetype less appealing as a result.
- Low Base power on his skills means he will struggle to do damage.
- P2 will consume the Rebellion buff granted by Hell Leopard. This ends up decreasing his damage, as the Rebellion buff is wasted on the 75BP chain instead of his 130BP (more if levelled) Iron Fist.
|
| Notes |
- In Democalypse Prelim Phase, you can only gain the +0.1 weakness hit multiplier once per skill, no matter how many times the skill hits. This is why you cannot gain more than +0.4 multiplier from skills like Ashura, Dragon Blade and MahaLantine.
- However Flauros can repeatedly gain weakness hit multiplier as Hell Leopard, Iron Fist and his Panel 2 chain effect are coded as different skills, bypassing the "only once per skill" limitation.

 Flauros Hallel
|
|
|

3 |
3 |
| Pros |
- Demons die when they are killed by Baptisma, unable to be revived. This lets him counter Nebiros, Xi Wangmu and Clotho revive strats, making him an exceptional Anti-Meta unit.
- Unlike Skull Knight's Sword of Actuation and Lilith A's Temptation, Baptisma is a Spell instead of an Elemental Phys Skill. While it cannot crit as a result, it also cannot miss, giving Flauros Hallel the edge against evasive units.
- Halo of Hallel gains boost levels as the fight drags on. At max level, it confers team-wide Lydia and Luster Candy, providing your team an incredible amount of sustain.
- Teal provides Repel Elec. When used with Atavaka or Alilat, he can soft-counter Atropos, as the second part of Passionate Rage will not proc if the first Elec part is Anti-Pierced.
|
| Cons |
- As nothing in his kit boosts damage, damage booster transfers are mandatory.
- Requires a good team built around him to really shine.
|
| Notes |
- As he does not gain Null Curse until he actually gets a turn, he can be killed by Angra Mainyu + Alice A combos if outsped.
- Red grants him access to discounted Mahamadyne, which can be useful if you want a piercing AOE.

| Pros |
- Very good Ice Nuker with built-in Ice Boost and Master Assassin in purple.
- Vengeful Frost Fist is a heavy hitting Ice-element Physical attack that can Crit and autocasts Rebellion on hit. This allows him to crit infinitely at the cost of a measly 4 MP.
- Icy Rage provides a teamwide Ice damage buff, incredible for Democalypse.

| Pros |
- One of the core demons in the Archangels archetype. When combined with two other Herald or Divine demons, God's Word dishes out massive damage even before battle really begins.
- Chain effects do not consume press turns even when hitting NDR.
- Innate Thunderclap and Elec Enhancement in Purple means she can function well as an Elec Mage too, particularly for Democalypse.
|
| Cons |
- Needs a specific team built fully around her.
- Chain effects kills demons before they have a chance to talk, making her less useful for Aura Gate.
- Weak to Dark

1 |
| Pros |
- One of the fastest and most flexible demons in the game. With Speedster transferred, he can help your team hit various PVE battle speed requirements, while fulfilling either a support or additional DPS role depending on build.
- Vahana provides additional Evasion and can stack with other evasion passives like Evade to make him a dodge tank.
- Auto-Rakunda increases your team's damage output and synergizes well with his Turn 1 focus.
|
| Cons |
- Does not have Speedster innately which in turn consumes a skill slots.
- Very low bulk
- Weak to Ice.
|
| Notes |
- More or less outclassed by Hresvelgr in PVP nowadays.
- Red gives him access to discounted Maragidyne, giving him a cheap T1 nuke. Yellow makes him more support-oriented with Fog Breath.

5 |
| Pros |
- Brilliant Wings fires a Piercing AOE Force attack every time any of your demon successfully dodges an attack. This makes him a powerful pick versus pure physical demons like Masakado and Guan Yu.
- Brilliant Wings fits well with evasive demons such as Nekomata A.
- Gale Talon is very damaging against lone targets like Bosses, making him very potent for Democalypse. It can also be used for PVP cleanup and/or Endure breaking.
|
| Cons |
- Weak to Ice
- Evasion is useless against Magic teams
- Gale Talon takes time to reach full potential, reducing his T1 potential.
- Needs a team built around him to be really effective

| Pros |
- Very high bulk, which he can capitalize on thanks to innate Earthquake.
- Three weaknesses makes him a good partner for Orcus.
- Less competition for Brands compared to your other demons, as he relies on PDEF for damage.
- Panels let him play a more support-oriented role, providing team-wide bonuses as long as he is alive.
- Repel Phys in Teal pairs well with Alilat or Atavaka for Phys Anti-Pierce.
|
| Cons |
- Abysmal AGI means he misses. A lot.
- No innate pierce.
|
| Notes |
- Single target nukes will still hurt him a lot, especially with bonus damage from exploiting his multiple weaknesses.

1 |
| Pros |
- Blade of the Absolute is an Almighty Physical attack with increased innate accuracy (1.5x), high crit rate and hits the same target multiple times, shredding Endures.
- Hawk of Light refunds 3 MP and sets up Almighty Tetrakarn on kill, letting him spam Blade of the Absolute repeatedly while completely walling off demons like Shiva A.
- Has evasion thanks to innate Evade and Hawk of Light providing an Evasion bonus.
- Panel 2 provides him Null Charm and Null Bind. Paired with Null Mute and a Cleanse transfer (such as Prayer), he can function as an evasive cleric that can also help with DPS if a cleanse is not required.
|
| Cons |
- As he does not have any damage boosters in his kit (outside of P3), damage transfers as mandatory if building him as an assassin.
- Difficult to build as he requires too many stats to function, forcing you to choose which parts of his kit to specialize in.
- Requires a good team built around him to really shine.
|
| Notes |
- Limited-time Collaboration unit. Nobody knows if he will be rerun.
- Red gives him access to discounted Vorpal Blade, which can be useful if you want a piercing AOE for PvE, especially since ANY kill will trigger Hawk of Light.

| Pros |
- No weaknesses and high VIT stats make him very tanky, especially with Life Brands.
- High STR and native Phys Pierce make him a physical powerhouse.
- Loyal God of War refunds MP and heals him on a kill, giving him insane amounts of self-sustain.
- Innate Savage Glee lets him Crit and generate Press Turns effectively, especially if given Epitome of Carnage or paired with Crit boosters like Asura Lord or Kartikeya.
- Purple gives him access to Null Mortal, making him even harder to kill.
|
| Cons |
- Low Agi stat means he will have accuracy issues. Dragon Blade's chain effect will not activate if it misses on the first target.
- Only has ST skills unless in Red, which reduces his overall PvP usefulness
|
| Notes |
- A Null Curse transfer makes him unkillable by Alice A, and also stops Curse from interfering with Loyal God of War healing.
- Highly dependant on the first kill for tempo. Failing to secure the first kill will result in him not having enough MP for the next turn.

2 |
| Pros |
- Extremely high Crit rate thanks to Savage Glee and The Struggler. Butcher in purple further augments his damage.
- Dragon Slayer does insane AOE Piercing Physical damage and bypasses Endure-type skills. It can also be cast Turn 1 due to its low MP cost.
- Is decently tanky thanks to good bulk and The Struggler providing him a better Enduring Soul.
- Panel 1 gives him access to a Piercing Fire AOE that does not cost MP, very useful against MP denial teams.
|
| Cons |
- Having no innate ST skills means he will be walled by Drain Teams. It is recommended to pair him with demons like Alice to eliminate Phys Anti-Pierce demons that prevent him from sweeping.
- No natural Pierce outside Panel 2 might cause issues when out of MP.
|
| Notes |
- Limited-time Collaboration unit. Nobody knows if he will be rerun.

5 |
| Pros |
- Hell's Trivia is a cheap, hard-hitting spell that also functions as an Endure breaker. Coupled with her respectable Mag stat and Dark Enhancement in purple, she can be built as a powerful dark mage.
- Virtually immune to ailments thanks to Null Bind and Lunar Awakening. Transferring a cleanse skill like Prayer or Silent Prayer will allow her to function as a cleric, while still maintaining her offensive presence.
- Panel 2 lets her run Life or Spell brands without worrying about MP.
|
| Cons |
- Not very bulky due to middling VIT and HP stats.
- Weak to light and by extension the Archangels matchup.
- As Lunar Awakening only cleanses at the end of the enemy's turn, she can still be killed by Alice A if she is cursed in the same turn (such as through Mahaju).
|
| Notes |
- Innate Repel Dark means she can't be sniped by Alice if paired with Alilat or Atavaka. This is very significant as most dedicated ailment teams run Alice to remove the cleric.
- Lunar Awakening only triggers at the end of the enemy's turn. This makes her useless for Brands of Sin Sloth 11, as the ailments trigger at the beginning of the turn.

- Highest Base AGI in the game, making him invaluable for fast teams.
- His unique North Wind deals AOE Ice damage whenever an opposing demon dies. This adds to the damage of fast Turn 1 teams and allows him to clear Endures.
- Auto-Rakunda in Purple further increases Turn 1 kill potential.
- Decent MAG with innate Ice Boost lets him fire off strong Bufudynes.
|
| Cons |
- No ice pierce.
- Does not have Speedster innately which in turn consumes a skill slots.
- Weak to Phys and Fire. Phys Weakness is particularly bad unless paired with Orcus for Press Turn denial.

|
| Cons |
- As nothing in his kit boosts damage, damage booster transfers are mandatory.
- Yinglong Killer has a very high MP cost and cannot be fired off Turn 1.
- Below average HP and Vit stats.
|
| Notes |
- More of less outclassed by Guts. Oh how the mighty have fallen!
- AI is very unreliable for PvP Defense; will occasionally Yinglong Killer into Anti-Pierce and lose press turns.
- Panel 3 healing has some fun applications together with Lakshmi A, allowing him to restore both HP and MP to the whole party upon a crit.

| Pros |
- High AGI, incredible resistances and decent bulk make him a coveted PVE support demon.
- Five Elements walls magical demons without Pierce, such as Mother Harlot, Trumpeter and non-purple Rama.
- Luster Candy in Yellow gives him even more support utility in buff control. Purple provides him Speedster, giving him full flexibility over which skills to transfer.
- Trivializes Brands of Sin stage 10, opening up brand farming on Auto.
|
| Cons |
|
| Notes |
- Yellow AI has issues on auto as it will sometimes cast Luster Candy when you want to be spamming Five Elements instead. Due to this, Yellow is mostly recommended for Manual Play, and Purple for Auto-ing.

- Extremely high MAG stat. Panel 1 further increases her AOE damage.
- Her unique spell Mesopotamian Star deals Almighty damage while autocasting Tarukaja and Tarunda. At Panel 3, this further applies Rakukaja and Sukukaja, allowing her to deal damage while simultaneously buffing and debuffing.
- Gains Concentrate in Yellow, letting her nuke even harder.
|
| Cons |
- Very high MP costs.
- Mesopotamian Star has low base power.
- Weak to Force and Dark.
- Low AGI stat and bad bulk.
|
| Notes |
- Due to her high MAG and Panel 1 bonus, she works very well as an elemental caster for Democalypse if you can transfer the appropriate elemental spell.

- Upon death, Yaxche autocasts an almighty Mortal spell that will instakill the enemy that killed her, bypassing Endure.
- Yaxche autocast is almighty Mortal and ignores Endure-type skills.
- Yellow gives her access to discounted Mahashibabooon, letting her also function as an Ailment inflictor.
|
| Cons |
|
| Notes |
- There is no way to reset her level once you have leveled her up.
- You can leave her at Lv 1 to bait the AI into killing her and triggering Yaxche. Pair her with teammates that carry resurrection spells to repeat this cycle like Nebiros and Xi Wangmu.
- Leaving her at Lv 1 also sharply drops your battle speed, perfect for slow teams.

| Pros |
- Very high Magic stat. Combined with innate Merciless Blow, her unique Yomotsu Okami and Elec Amp in purple, she will decimate anything weak to Elec or Dark.
- Yomotsu Okami provides a teamwide increase to Dark and Elec damage, perfect for Democalypse.
- Great set of panels that provide her MP reduction, Elec Pierce and increased damage.
|
| Cons |
- Weak to Fire
- Very expensive to fuse
- No true AOE spells
- Very RNG reliant in Democalypse as you cannot rely on Eileen to weather out bad Bolt Storm rolls.
|
| Notes |
- Panel 2 for Elec Pierce is mandatory for PVP.
- Red gives her Hell Gaze, while purple provides Elec Amp. As both are very useful for their respective elemental Democalypse, consider building two of them if your Faction does these elements.

- Madama Uppercut autocasts a follow-up Almighty attack upon Charm that also inflicts Bind.
- Evade and Madama Uppercut levels increase her evasion and allow her to function as a dodge tank.
- Gomorrah (J) has high base damage and crit chance, with a high chance to Bind all enemies.
- Pairs well with Bayonetta☆ or any other sources of charm like Lakshmi.
|
| Cons |
- Gomorrah (J) takes two turns to charge, and is difficult to build due to it scaling it off PATK and MATK.
- Awkward combination of balanced stats and having both Physical and Magic skills make her pretty mediocre at everything.
- Very bad bulk means she will get shredded by Magic teams, which ignore her evasion.
- Panels do not benefit her much.
|
| Notes |
- Limited-time Collaboration unit. Nobody knows if she will be rerun.
- Pretty much outclassed by P3 Lilith, who does "Bind upon Charm" better.

| Pros |
- Fastest demon in the game especially when passive is maxed, allowing you to hit battlespeed requirements in PVE easily.
- Skanda proides teamwide Accuracy and Crit chance boost.
- Mortal Jihad plus Great Aim means he will rarely miss, while having a good crit rate to generate press turns for your team.
- No weaknesses and innate Speedster gives him great flexibility over transfer slots and lets him fulfill a variety of roles.
|
| Cons |
|
| Notes |
- Difficult to Panel due to Clear demons only giving 60 spirits.
- Works very well in Turn 1 teams like Hero Masakado T1.

 Lachesis

1 |
1 |
| Pros |
- One of the core demons in the Moirai Sisters archetype. When combined with two other Lady or Femme demons (preferably her two other sisters), Passionate Embrace debuffs their attack and defense while buffing yours. Not only does this make Atropos' Passionate Rage stronger, it also makes it harder for the opponent to fight back as they will have to deal with a massive reduction in damage.
- Measured Fate removes all debuffs from your team and buffs from the enemy team. This ensures the following Passionate Embrace will fully swing buffs in your favor.
- Intimidating Stance in Purple synergizes well with the rest of the Moirai Sisters who have very low AGI.
- Her Panels provide valuable ailment immunity, making it harder for Ailment Teams to sweep her on revenge.
|
| Cons |
- Requires a good team built around her.
- Due to the way the Moirai Sisters archetype is typically built, Revive Sealing units like Skull Knight are a very powerful counter.
|
| Notes |
- The AI will not cast Measured Fate if there are no buffs on your opponent and/or debuffs on you. As she does not have any other actives, this causes her to auto-attack most of the time, which can be a problem facing NDR Phys or evasive targets.

- Extremely high Magic and Luck stats allow her to be built as either a Sweeper or an Ailment inflictor.
- Her High Luck, Insanity combined with Lotus Dance's high Charm rate virtually guarantees she will Charm everything that does not Null it.
- Panel 3 allows her to generate MP for the team, enabling certain first-turn kill strats like Shiva A, or counter MP drain teams like Alice A.
|
| Cons |
- Weak to Force
- Lack of good innate offensive skills wastes her high MAG stat.
- Countered very hard by Daisoujou clearing her charms and punishing her for using them.

- No pierce, requires Dark Pierce (weak) to really shine.
- Countered very hard by Daisoujou clearing her charms and punishing her for using them.

3 |
| Pros |
- Demons die when they are killed by Temptation, unable to be revived. This lets her counter Nebiros, Xi Wangmu and Clotho revive strats, making her an exceptional Anti-Meta unit.
- Temptation can be fired off Turn 1 due to its low MP cost (5 MP), even against Alice A by using Divine Brands. It will also apply an AOE Charm if the attack is successful, which synergizes well with her passive.
- In addition to granting her Dark Pierce, Forbidden Fruit fires off another Temptation at the end of the turn if anyone is charmed. This lets her break Endures and/or clean up any remaining units.
- Panel 2 grants her a whopping +50% Crit Chance, which helps to boost her damage.
- She can be paired with Rama as a soft-counter to Atropos as she has innate Drain Elec. This also somewhat offsets her fraility, one of her main cons.
|
| Cons |
- Weak to Light
- Requires a good team setup around her to truly shine, as Temptation has relatively low BP and no increased crit rate. Even with Dark Amp in Purple, she will have damage issues unless you grant her Auto-Rebellion and ensure buffs are in her favor (for example via Kuyo Flash).
- Damage is lackluster in Dark Democalypse Boss Phase, as the Boss has +100% Crit Resist.
- Relatively frail, requires Panels and/or Life Brands to survive in PvP, Passionate Rage in particular.
|
| Notes |
- Red gives her access to discounted Mamudodyne, useful if you want a piercing AOE. She can run it relatively well due to Temptation also scaling off MATK.

 Lucifer

| Pros |
- Morning Star is the most powerful Almighty AOE spell in the game.
- Purple gives him Butcher to further augment his damage.
- Good bulk especially with Panel 2 unlocked. This helps him live long enough to build up the MP necessary for Morning Star.
- Repel Dark is sometimes useful with Alilat or Atavaka against bosses with Dark Pierce.
|
| Cons |
- Weak to Light.
- Very MP hungry. Even when paired with P1 Lucifuge, he cannot Turn 1 Morning Star against Alice A teams without dedicated MP support.
- Very expensive to fuse and panel.
- No Pierce and full Almighty kit means he is shut down hard by Five Elements.
|
| Notes |
- Paired with Panel 1 Lucifuge, you can also use him in a devastating Turn 1 Sweeper team.
|
|
 Lucifuge
|
|
|

4 |
| Pros |
- Hell's Ministry reduces Almighty cost for all Tyrant race demons and improves their bulk. Paired with his Panel 1 Bonus, this will give a whopping 2MP discount and enable powerful Turn 1 combos such as Lucifer's Morning Star.
- Light Devourer is a hard-hitting single target Dark spell, further amplified by innate Dark Amp.
- Clear gains access to discounted Necro Dogma. As it only costs 6MP when maxed (5MP if Panel 1), it can be fired off Turn 1 and giving your whole party a defensive buff as a bonus.
|
| Cons |
- Weak to Light
- Extremely expensive to fuse.
- Middling AGI hurts battle speed for fast T1 teams.
|
| Notes |
- Requires Panel 1 to really shine.
- Unimpressive without good teammates. His best partner Lucifer is another very expensive fusion, and requires Panel 3 to be really competitive in PVP.

 Mahakala

5 |
| Pros |
- High Magic stats and innate Concentrate + Pierce from The Great Darkness make him a very powerful ST Nuker.
- Wrathful Flame reduces defense, allowing your teammates to hit harder. It can also be cast on turn 1 PVP with spell brands if maxed.
- Very effective in Democalypse boss rounds as buffs/debuffs are difficult to come by.
- Goes through Endure as Wrathful Flame counts as three separate hits.
|
| Cons |
- Combination of ST and AOE in his kit makes it difficult to further boost his damage.
|
| Notes |
- Unlike Indrajit, lack of MP recovery means he cannot spam Wrathful Flame as easily in PVP.
- If Mahakala is not alive at the beginning of the turn The Great Darkness won't increase the turn count until Mahakala is revived and survives until the start of the following turn.

 Mara

| Pros |
- Only fuseable source of Phys Pierce.
- High STR and LUK means he will hit hard and crit often.
- Hell Thrust is very strong against bosses and in Democalypse, especially if he is Panel 3.
- Meme
|
| Cons |
- Ice Weakness and non-existent bulk makes him go limp at the sight of Ice skills.
- High MP costs give Mara a big refractory period.
- Expensive to fuse, will quickly blow through your Magnetite reserves.
- Requires damage boost transfer to supplement his damage.
- Middling AGI means he will have accuracy issues and occasionally miss the hole. Also doesn't slot into Intimidating Stance teams well as a result.
- Due to Mara having no single target besides his regular thrust, Anti-Pierce units like Rama, Alilat and Atavaka are a turn off.

1 |
| Pros |
- Shimmer Arrow lets her follow up ANY physical skill with a piercing Light ST nuke. This is great for cleaning up Endures and spreading out chip damage.
- Daylight Blade deals Piercing Phys damage while putting her into a state of Concentrate, allowing her chained Shimmer Arrow to hit much harder. This effectively gives her a 300 Base Power ST nuke (360 if it crits!) that also ignores Endures.
- Works great in Brands of Sin Sloth 12 where a majority of the enemies are weak to light.
|
| Cons |
- Unimpressive STR stats, low base power on both her skills and no damage boosters in her kit severely hurt her damage output.
- Difficult to boost her damage due to her being a dual Physical and Light Hybrid attacker.
- Does not have natural Pierce. This can cause issues with his AI attacking into Tetra Shift and/or Physical NDR when out of MP.
|
| Notes |
- For manual play, Shimmer Arrow will hit whoever your cursor is on. On Auto and/or Defense however, you are at the mercy of the AI for who she snipes.
- Incredible synergy with Sraosha, as Shimmer Arrow will proc off his chain, giving you multiple damaging chain effects.

| Pros |
- Innate Phys Amp in purple combined with a MASSIVE STR stat allow him to dish out ridiculous amounts of Physical damage.
- Warlord's Wrath is a loaded passive that combines Intimidating Stance, Faithful Counter and Phys Pierce.
- Occult Flash is a high damage, high crit-rate single target skill that will inflict Mortal with 100% chance.
- Has no weakness and a perfect base kit, allowing you to tailor his remaining transfer slots however you like.
- Gains Drain Phys in Teal, allowing you to pair him Rama to act as a Phys Anti-Pierce unit.
|
| Cons |
- Low Agility leads to accuracy issues, especially against evasive targets.
- Is very frail thanks to a low VIT and HP stat.
|
| Notes |
- Unable to be paired with Masakado A. This drops his Democalypse ranking by a decent amount, as Masakado A is a ridiculously powerful tech.

| Pros |
- Guardian of the East provides 1 extra Press Turn when going first, enabling devastating Turn 1 Kill strats like Hero Masakado T1.
- Kuyo Flash can be cast 1st turn and swings offensive buffs entirely in your favor through autocast Tarukaja, Rakunda, Sukukaja and Sukunda.
- Panel 2 provides team wide Null Mortal for one turn. This is useful for sweeping Ixtab defenses, or protecting your allies from being counterswept by Alice A if you fail to kill them Turn 1.
- Incredible set of resistances with 3 Nulls (Phys, Dark, Light) and no weakness allows you to tailor the rest of his transfer slots however you please.
|
| Cons |
- 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.

| Pros |
- Good Magic coupled with Trial of Hate's high base power makes him an incredible Light sweeper. The debuff is icing on the cake.
- Good set of resistances with 1 Null and 2 Reflects.
- Works well in Archangel Teams to provide more sweeping power.
- Laughs at his enemies occasionally
|
| Cons |
- No innate pierce, requires Light Pierce (weak) to really shine.
- Weak to Fire. This is especially problematic in Brands of Sin: Sloth 11 and above, as the boss has innate Trisagion.
- Binding Cry, while a flavorful skill is unfortunately wasted on Mastema.
|
| Notes |
- Easy 4x4 fusion paths and good panels make him a decent Panel 3 goal to strive toward.

| Pros |
- Blasphemy is a piercing Ice/Fire nuke that also Charms and Poisons their whole party. With innate Null Mute, he does not need to worry about Preach from opposing Daisoujou, though make sure not to get your other allies muted!
- Mark of the Beast deals fixed damage and mutes all enemies at the end of his turn. Fixed damage goes through the Main Character's shield in Battle Tower, allowing you to deal full damage even if his allies are still alive.
- P2 gives him Auto-Barrier Break if going first, turning him into a standalone ailment package similar to Motoko Kusanagi (except less visually appealing).
|
| Cons |
- Panel 2 is Mandatory for the auto-Barrier Break. He is just another mediocre ailment demon otherwise.
- No longer has a suggestive silhoutte.
- Weak to Light.
|
| Notes |
- Great synergy with Angra Mainyu - Master Therion breaks barriers for him, allowing Angra Mainyu to cripple their whole team with 16 Scourges while triggering Mark of the Beast for cleanup at the end of turn. They are also both decently fast and fit naturally in speed teams.

1 |
| Pros |
- Will virtually never have MP issues thanks to Glamorous Allure giving her a free Almighty AOE attack that has a chance of charm.
- Upon any allies being Muted, she will counter with Illusionary World, cleansing the Mute and retaliating with an Almighty AOE Sweep. This makes her ideal for punishing Daisoujou, whose team will take chip damage from Illusionary World every time his Preach is triggered.
- Innate Null Charm, Null Bind in purple and Illusionary World makes her virtually immune to skill-restricting ailments. Transferring a cleanse skill like Prayer will allow her to serve as the team's Cleric, while still being able to deal chip damage thanks to Glamorous Allure.
- High LUK and huge amount of built-in Ailment Infliction help her land Charm from Glamorous Allure reliably.
|
| Cons |
- Fairly mediocre MAG and unimpressive Base Power on both skills hurt her damage potential.
- Very harshly countered by Five Elements on Defense, as the AI does not know how to pass and will lose press turns attacking into it.

| Pros |
- Good HP and Vit stats paired with great resistances gives him decent of bulk, especially with innate Enduring Soul in Clear.
- High Magic stat and Infinite Chakra lets him function well as a magic sweeper.
- Works well in an Archangel Team, as Fire of Sinai is great for cleaning up and breaking Endures.
- Gains discounted Mahamadyne in Red which is great for Brands of Sin Sloth 10 and 11 farming.
- Panel 3 amplifies all Magic damage.
|
| Cons |
- Very difficult to fuse, only 1 recipe available.
- Full Almighty / non-Piercing kit means he is shut down hard by Five Elements.
- Low AGI stat penalizes him in the Archangels PVP strat.

- Very good set of resistances, especially in Teal.

 Motoko Kusanagi
|
|
|
3 |

5 |
4 |
1 |
| Pros |
- She is essentially an entire ailment team neatly packaged into one demon. Not only does Ghost Hack remove Barriers, it also has a high chance of inflicting Bind and Mute, in addition to only costing 5 MP to cast. With Panel 2 unlocked, this further chains into a Tarukaja and Sukukaja buff.
- At the end of her turn, Optical Camouflage hits every demon suffering an ailment with a Piercing Phys AOE. This damage can be further ramped up by the discounted Charge she gains in Yellow.
- Due to how packed her kit is, she can easily be splashed into teams looking for some Ailment control, or in Defense teams to catch players randoming without sufficient Ailment protection.
- The chain from Panel 1 (Cover Fire) will give you an extra 0.1 Multiplier in Physical Democalypse Prelims. If using her there, consider running her Red for Vorpal Blade.
|
| Cons |
- Her damage is fairly underwhelming due to a low STR stat and lack of any damage boosters in her kit.
- Hard-countered by Ailment immunity, most notably Daisoujou and Panelled Moirai Sisters like Atropos + Lachesis.
|
| Notes |
- Yellow discounts Charge to 5 MP. With Divine Brands, she can cast both Ghost Hack and Charge on the same turn going first. This is not possible against Alice A without some MP support though.
- Limited-time Collaboration unit. Nobody knows if she will be rerun.

1 |
| Pros |
- Babylon Goblet drains MP from all enemies while providing her MP sustain, allowing her to loop the same attack over and over even without Divine Brands. With Panel 2 unlocked, she will additionally spread charm all over the enemy's team.
- Teal gives her Drain Phys, ideal for pairing with Rama. Notably, she is the only Drain Phys unit that can function as a magic sweeper. Innate Drain Elec also helps to soft-counter Atropos, as the second part of Passionate Rage will not proc if the first Elec part is Anti-Pierced.
- Has access to discounted Debilitate in Yellow, letting her play a more support role if needed.
- Works very well in a slow Ailment Team, or with Alice A in MP denial teams.
- Incredible set of Panels. With Panel 3 unlocked, she can keep enemies permanently charmed by reapplying Charm each turn.
|
| Cons |
- Weak to Force
- Full Almighty kit means she is shut down hard by Five Elements.
- Low AGI and high MP costs makes her unsuitable for fast teams.
|
| Notes |
- The MP drain aspect of Babylon Goblet is less useful for PVE, as the AI has infinite MP. It does allow you to replenish her MP indefinitely though.

| Pros |
- The only unit in the game that has a Critical Counter, God 1000 Fist Cannon will unleash a random barrage of piercing Physical attacks whenever the enemy scores a crit.
- Extremely high bulk and damage reduction from Bloody Scripture make him a powerful tank. Building him as a tank also increases God 1000 Fist Cannon and Muscle Punch damage, as they both depend on Phys DEF for damage. Earthquake in red furthers this synergy.
- Yellow gives him access to discounted War Cry, letting him play a support role if required.

 Nebiros

1 |
| Pros |
- Call of the Dead is the only revive skill in the game without a usage limit. This enables infinite revives especially if paired with healing support like Nadja.
- As Call of the Dead triggers at the end of the enemy turn, it lets you start your turn with full press turns, and proc any start of turn chain effects like Archangels.
- Hand of Glory provides AOE Curse + Luster Candy on ally death. The Curse is great setup for Alice A (and his own passive) while the buffs increase your likelihood of surviving the turn.
- Highest LUK in the game paired with innate Epitome of Madness makes him a great Dodge tank.
- Panel 2 grants Null Mortal which makes him even harder to kill.
|
| Cons |
- Hard countered by Null Curse and revive sealing skills like Sword of Actuation. Panel 1 Clotho in particular is a very powerful counter, as she confers the whole team Null Curse.
- Weak to light and by extension the Archangels matchup. Teal fixes this somewhat but you lose Null Bind in return.
- Call of the Dead can be mitigated by a Cleric removing Curse before end of the turn.

 Nergal

2 |
| Pros |
- Plague of Babylon removes Barriers and has a very high chance of landing Weak status, making him incredible setup for Ailment Teams.
- High STR, Auto-Tarukaja and increased Accuracy from Meslamtaea make him a decent Physical demon, especially when Paneled.
- Auto-Rebellion on Poison boosts his damage and synergizes with Pale Rider.
|
| Cons |
- Weak to Ice
- Ailments fall flat in late/endgame PvE because of inflated enemy stats
- Hard countered by Ailment Cleansers like Daisoujou or Kinmamon in PVP.
- AGI too low for Ailment Teams standards.
|
| Notes |
- P3 Samael offers similar barrier break without consuming a Press Turn. This is vital versus double Intimidating Stance Teams, as Nergal consuming a Press Turn means you are left with a single Press for casting a true ailment.
- Compared to P3 Samael, Nergal gives your other demons more flexibility in choosing brands, as they can forego Ailment Infliction completely. Weigh the extra Press Turn versus stat flexibility carefully.

| Pros |
- Overture deals Piercing damage while giving him free Concentrate, letting him sweep hard.
- Voltage synergises perfectly with Overture and gives your party attack and accuracy/evasions buffs.
- Very good for Democalypse where he does not have to worry about MP issues and can repeatedly spam Concentrated Overtures while on Spell Brands for insane damage.
|
| Cons |
- Hard countered by Anti-Pierce, as Overture will not autocast Concentrate (and by extension Voltage) if the attack hits into NDR.
- Mediocre stats, relies on Concentrate from Overture to deal damage.
- No ST skills if not in Red.
- High MP costs and no MP recovery prevent him from spamming his spells freely.

- Not really better than Amaterasu and Barong as a PVE healer/support.
- Only obtainable through Democalypse grinding.
|
| Notes |
- Will be very good in upcoming Dark/Light Alter World content.
- As the AI will not cast debuffs in Democalypse, Abaddon A still has an edge over her being able to provide both buffs and debuffs.
|

 Orcus

1 |
1 |
| Pros |
- One of the strongest support demons in the game. Law of Hell denies bonus turns when striking weakness, while Hell's Gate grants AOE damage reduction for each open weakness.
- This eliminates the need to cover weaknesses for all your demons, allowing them to inherit more valuable transfer skills like Epitome of Fortitude, Recarmdra, Auto-Tarunda etc.
- Very good buff control with War Cry and Nocturne in Yellow.
|
| Cons |
- Hell's Gate damage reduction does not apply to single target attacks.
- Very MP Hungry. Divines help with MP costs but reduce his bulk.
- Needs specific team compositions to work well.
|
| Notes |
- You still receive extra damage from open weaknesses.
- Due to the way Law of Hell is coded, it will also deny bonus turns gained from a Crit if the attacked demon has a Physical weakness. This ironically makes Slime a great partner for him, as Slime has six open weaknesses including Phys.

 Ose Hallel

| Pros |
- Heavenly Sword puts him in a state of Charge and Rebellion after a single cast. This allows him to deal OBSCENE damage by spamming it over and over, especially if you have P2 unlocked for the MP reduction. It also bypasses Endures as a bonus.
- Sword of Hallel gains boost levels as the fight drags on. At max level, it autocasts Debilitate at the start of turn, which is incredibly valuable for Phys Democalypse Boss Phase.
- Can reliably crit for press turns thanks to Heavenly Sword constantly putting him in a state of Rebellion.
- Phys Amp in Purple greatly increases his damage output. Teal can be used for Repel Phys if you plan to combo him with Atavaka, Alilat or Demiurge.
- Red gives him access to discounted Hades Blast, which is extremely powerful when combined with the Charge effect from Heavenly Sword. As a bonus, this also evokes memories of simpler times, where Charge + Hades Blast Teal Ose was all the rage in PVP.

| Pros |
- Very good in an Ailment Team, as Pestilence will kill any enemy after 2 turns, no questions asked.
- Perfect synergy with a set-up based sweeper Nergal. Nergal helps to remove any barriers and ensures Plague's poison can land via Weak, which in turn triggers his own Meslamtaea passive.
- Gains the strongest debuff Debilitate in Yellow, letting him double as a debuffer.
|
| Cons |
- Weak to Elec
- Ailments generally fall flat in late/endgame PvE because of inflated enemy stats
- Hard countered by Ailment Cleansers like Daisoujou or Kinmamon in PVP.
- Pestilence only kicks in at the end of enemy's turn, giving them one whole turn to cleanse it away or just outright kill him.
- Requires a specific team built around him to really work.
- Panels 1 and 2 don't contribute to the Ailment build.

- Has 2 strong AOE spells, 3 if in Red.

| Pros |
- Has full Fire Pierce and Fire Amp by default, plus Butcher in Purple. This makes him a deadly Fire Sweeper for both Fire Democalypse and PVP.
- Aztec Pulse costs only 5 MP when maxed and does massive damage when combined with his other passives. The low MP cost also means you can spam it with Divine Brands going first, regardless if Alice A is present or not.
- Ce Acatl grants him a free revive once per battle, while refunding the press turn lost from his death. This makes him a great counter for Fast T1 Teams on offense, as anything short of a full team wipe will result in him coming back to life and reverse-sweeping with double Aztec Pulses.
- Pairs well with Rama has he has Drain Fire by default. This is especially useful versus Herald team comps to counter Uriel's Sunrise.
- Red gives him access to discounted Trisagion, useful versus Fire Anti-Pierce.
|
| Cons |
|
| Notes |
- As press turn count is determined at the start of the round, Ce Acatl press turn generation only cancels out the lost press turn from his death.
- Ironically, he also pairs well with his mortal nemesis Skull Knight on defense, as Aztec Pulse will soften up everyone allowing Sword of Actuation to kill anyone his AI desires.
- Ce Acatl triggers after Passionate Rage. This allows him to dodge the AOE Chains and abuse any extra Press Turns now available to him.

| Pros |
- One of only three demons that can negate pierce.
- While alive, Drain Pierce will prevent pierce skills from going through Drain resistances and is the cornerstone of the Drain Teams archetype.
- Brahmastra is a three-hit Almighty skill that functions as an Endure-breaker.
- Good base stats and no weaknesses allow him to fulfill a variety of roles, be it support or sweeper. Yellow Rama can function as a good support demon with discounted Luster Candy whereas Purple gives him Ice Pierce which lets him sweep with Mabufudyne.
|
| Cons |
|
| Notes |
- Teal gives him Drain Ice which pairs well with Drain Pierce and can be used to cheese certain difficult PvE content like Hell's Park Floor 100 and Celestial Gui Xian.

| Pros |
- Good Str, decent Agi and Luck means he will hit hard without much Accuracy issues.
- Blade of Terror deals consistent Fractional damage based on enemies current HP, unaffected by buffs. It will also bypass the accuracy check since it is a fractional skill.
- Blade of Terror has high AOE Bind chance when maxed, and can be used Turn 1 due to it's low MP cost.
|
| Cons |
- Blade of Terror falls off later in the fight as it is based on Current HP (and is capped against late game targets in PVE).
- No innate Pierce means Panel 2 or a Phys Pierce (weak) transfer is mandatory.
- Weak to Ice
|
| Notes |
- Buffs and damage boosts only work on Bloodshed's Physical damage and not Blade of Terror's Fractional damage.
- His AI will blindly Blade of Terror into Tetrakarn without taking into account the Bloodshed follow up. This can get him easily killed if he does not have some form of Phys Pierce!

- Great set of Panels that provide additional Ailment Infliction, reduce MP costs and the aforementioned breaks. Easy 4x4 fusion paths make him a good P3 goal to strive toward.
- Compared to Nergal, Panel 3 Samael gives you better Press Turn efficiency, but in return all your other demons will require some degree of Ailment Infliction from brands or transfers. Weigh the extra Press Turn versus stat flexibility carefully.
- Panel 3 pairs well with Alice A and Nebiros teams, allowing them to land Curse without worrying about Barriers. He also negates Xi Wangmu's Panel 2, as he will continuously break her recasted Barriers each turn.

- Insane set of panels that give him everything he needs (accuracy, better ST and reduced MP cost).
- Incredible Elemental resistances especially in Teal. All these Elemental Drains make him an excellent partner for Rama - Drain Elec in particular allows him to soft-counter Passionate Rage.

| Pros |
- Demons die when they are killed by Sword of Actuation, unable to be revived. This lets him counter Nebiros, Xi Wangmu and Clotho revive strats, making him an exceptional Anti-Meta unit.
- Sword of Actuation has a ridiculously low MP cost at max level (5 MP) - Even without Panels it can be cast Turn 1 with War Brands. Panel 2 further reduces it to 4 MP, allowing it to be cast regardless of brands or matchup.
- Foe of Demons defensively buffs your team at the start of your opponent's turn, increasing your odds of surviving.
- Repel Phys in Teal makes him a good partner for Alilat and Atavaka.
|
| Cons |
- Difficult to boost Sword of Actuation further due to it being Almighty Phys.
- Requires a good team setup around him to truly shine.
- Middling AGI makes him slightly awkward to fit in fast or slow teams.
|
| Notes |
- Has AI issues when used on defense - AI will occasionally target demons with high HP instead of trying to finish off demons with Sword of Actuation. This can be circumvented by pairing him with sweepers like Hecate or Atavaka to soften everyone up, ensuring Sword of Actuation will kill whoever his AI targets. Auto-Rebellion also supposedly fixes this issue.
- Limited-time Collaboration unit. Nobody knows if he will be rerun.

- High base AGI and innate Speedster make him invaluable for fast teams. Panel 2 further increases his Battle Speed.
- Both Soul Judgement (Sraosha) and Soul Break have innate pierce, giving him more flexibility over transfers.
- Death Blow in Purple increases his crit damage. Yellow gives him access to Auto-Sukuka which is useful to ensure his attacks do not miss.
- Being a Herald, he can be used in an Archangels team to great effect.

| Pros |
- Low AGI and Intimidating Stance in Purple making him a great candidate for slow Intimidating Stance Teams, particularly if combined with Moirai sisters or Atavaka to abuse Repel Fire.
- Twilight Inferno deals massive damage to the enemy team when he dies, useful against frail T1 teams. This skill will go off even if he is bound on death, revive sealed etc, there is currently no way to stop it other than killing him last.
- Eruption deals respectable AOE damage and procs a random-hit AOE chain if the attack is successful, useful for cleaning up Endure and/or demons who survived the initial hit.
- P2 turns his regular attack into a Single-target Nuke dependant on MATK. Not only does this absolve him of any MP issues, it also gives him an out to Fire Anti-Pierce, as he can just nuke another demon instead.
- Works well in Battle Tower as the enemy team is forced to either kill him (which procs Twilight Inferno or deal with extra damage reduction on your MC.

- Xi Wangmu is a very oppressive partner for him as her passive helps to keep him (and by extension, Heavenly Valor) alive. She also allows him to forgo bulk stats entirely to focus on damage and accuracy.
- Heavenly Valor has lower base accuracy compared to typical Physical AOEs.

| Pros |
- Mjolnir deals massive damage against single targets, ideal for Bosses and Democalypse.
- Panels grant him a lot of damage, making him an ideal Elec mage especially with Elec Pierce in Purple.
|
| Cons |
- Weak to Force
- High STR is wasted on him as an Elec Mage. Megaton Raid and Charge are wasted slots.
- Random target skills are very hard to use for PVP.
|
| Notes |
- AI is extremely bad on Auto, as Charge will mess him up.

| Pros |
- Megingjord provides him Crit Resistance and lessens damage from Physical-type skills, making it one of the few skills that can reduce damage from Almighty Phys skills like Third Eye, Sword of Actuation etc. Panel 2 further increases this.
- Thunderous Hammer is a ramping skill that reaches full potential after two casts. At max boost level, it casts a second swing after the first much like Berserk, which is useful for breaking Endures.
- The Sheer BP of Thunderous Hammer, coupled with Elec Amp in purple makes him very powerful for Elec Democalypse.
- Very bulky with innate Life Surge, great HP and Vit stats and the damage reduction from Megingjord.
|
| Cons |
- Weak to Force
- Bizarrely, the second hit of Thunderous Hammer doesn't bypass Endures, while the first does. This leads to awkward situations where the first hit leaves the enemy demon barely alive, and the second hit merely triggers the Endure.
- Middling AGI and LUK plus no innate hit boosters lead to accuracy issues.

| Pros |
- Flag of Salvation boosts your entire team's light damage, making him useful for Brands of Sin: Sloth 11 and Light Democalypse. It also passively restores 1 MP to your whole party when clearing a wave.
- Amakusa Uprising deals heavy single target damage and can crit. Combined with innate Death Blow and Light Amp in purple, this makes him a very strong Light nuker, especially with Panel 2 unlocked. It also provides your team Tarukaja and Sukukaja buffs, allowing your following demons to hit harder.
- Great set of Transferable skills being one of the only two sources of Death Blow and the only source of Auto-Rebellion.
|
| Cons |
- Requires Panel 2 to unlock his full potential for PVP, as being able to guarantee crits for extra turns is very powerful.
- Only has pierce through Amakusa Uprising, no Piercing AOE.
- Needs accuracy investment for PVP, as Amakusa Uprising can miss.
|
| Notes |
- Light is a very good element in the current Meta, as several popular demons usually do not have it covered (Alice A, Nebiros and Hecate to name a few).
- The additional MP from Flag of Salvation allows your other demons to drop Divine Brands and/or Mana Aid in favor for more offensive brands and passives.
- Red gives is discounted Mahamadyne. Note that having this unlocked might mess up your Brands of Sin: Sloth 11 runs, as the AI will prioritize it over Amakusa Uprising.

| Pros |
- Demons die when they are killed by Dark Premonition, unable to be revived.
- Revive seal is very useful in certain PVE content (like several AG2 bosses) and to counter Nebiros and Xi Wangmu revive strats in PVP.
- High innate dodge rate which compliments the Mute from Dark Premonition.
- Red gains discounted Mind Blast, which can be used to further disable enemies. Purple gains Enduring Soul to bolster her survivability.
|
| Cons |
- Needs to be below 50% HP to unlock most of her kit, making her a glass cannon.
- Dark Premonition only has mediocre base damage, and can be stopped by Dark Anti-Pierce such as Rama + Masakado.
- Mediocre stats.
- Ailments fall flat in late PvE because of inflated enemy stats.
- Weak to Light
|
| Notes |
- Tzitzimitl bears special mention as a hard-counter to Moirai Sisters, especially for target/revenging. If she can survive Passionate Rage (not hard if you run Purple), she will gain immediate access to Disastrous Eclipse and Star of Darkness, letting her fire off hard-hitting AOE Revive Seals. Pair her with Tlaltecuhtli and fodder demons sporting Auto-Rakunda and Auto-Taruka to get an immediate buff swing.

| Pros |
- One of the core demons in the Archangels archetype. When combined with two other Herald or Divine demons, God's Fire dishes out massive damage even before battle really begins.
- God's Fire gives your party a Tarukaja attack buff, and at Panel 2 even adds in a Rakunda debuff, swinging offensive buffs to your favor.
- Chain effects do not consume press turns even when hitting NDR.
|
| Cons |
- Needs Team built around him
- Chain effects kills demons before they have a chance to talk, making him less useful for Aura Gate.
- Weak to Dark
|
| Notes |
- Reflected God's Fire will damage him because of innate pierce. Beware of Alilat and Atavaka.
- Requires additional MP Support when going against Alice A teams.

| Pros |
- Radiant Mantra constantly resets all buffs and debuffs at the start of enemy turn. When used in a slow team, this allows him to nullify auto-skills, giving your team more flexibility in skill transfer.
- Good repel resistances makes him a natural partner for Alilat and Atavaka. Fire and Light repel is especially useful to counter Archangel teams, as it makes him immune to both their AOE elements.
- High MAG and Butcher in purple allows him to function as a strong almighty sweeper. In addition to dealing respectable almighty damage, Path of Prominence also applies a mini Luster Candy buff, extending his role as a buff control specialist.
- Yellow gives him access to discounted Mediarahan, allowing him to function as a decent PVE Healer.
|
| Cons |
- Very hard to further boost his damage.
- Despite wanting to go second to fully abuse Radiant Mantra, his AGI is on the high side.
- Very high MP costs. Even with maxed Path of Prominence and Divine Brands, he won't be able to spam it consistently unless Panel 2 is also unlocked.
- Full Almighty / non-Piercing kit means he is shut down hard by Five Elements.

| Pros |
- Good bulk make him a tanky Mage thanks to Avatar.
- Gains discounted Megidolaon in Red.
- Healing and MP reduction from Panels further his tanky Mage role.
- Low AGI makes him ideal for budget slow teams.
|
| Cons |
- Weak to Fire
- Low damage output compared to Top Tier demons.
- Needs heavy investment in Brands and Panels to be usable in PVP.
|
| Notes |
- Low AGI forces him into slow teams, but slow teams prefer very high damage demons (even if their MP cost is high) rather than demons able to spam low MP-cost low damage attacks.

| Pros |
- Griffon-Bolt is borderline oppressive when combined with Turn 1 teams with lots of Crit passing for Press Turn generation. Good teammates include Masakado A, Asura Lord and Kartikeya.
- Will virtually never have MP issues thanks to Shadow-Shock giving him a free Almighty ST attack.
- Balanced stats and no weaknesses give him flexibility in transfer skills.
- Red and Yellow give him an Almighty AOE skill that debuffs.
- Laughs at his enemies occasionally
|
| Cons |
- Very harshly countered by Five Elements on Defense, as the AI does not know how to pass and will lose press turns attacking into it.
- Relies on auto-attacks, does not contribute much if his teammates are spamming skills instead.
- Demons with AOE reduction passives like Hecatoncheires and Orcus significantly reduces his damage.
|
| Notes |
- Limited-time Collaboration unit. Nobody knows if he will be rerun.

| Pros |
- Peach of Immortality gives all your demons two extra lives. This is especially powerful if coupled with naturally tanky demons like Hecate and Guan Yu, or demons with on-death effects such as Ixtab and Nadja.
- Goddess' Fan removes all buffs from the opponent and fully debuffs them, swinging buff advantage in your favor.
- Above average bulk and Null Mortal in purple allows her to survive most onslaughts and resurrect her fallen teammates.
- Decent PVE Healer with innate Mediarama.
|
| Cons |
|
| Notes |
- Demons are immediately raised by Peach of Immortality upon death. This can be a disadvantage against Hyper Offensive comps, who can simply kill said demon again in the same turn.

| Pros |
- Widely considered the best demon for PVE as he has access to an AOE in Vorpal Blade, a boss-killing skill in Hassou Tobi, MP refresh in Mana Aid and a damage booster in Phys Amp.
- Innate Mana Aid lets him repeatedly spam Vorpal Blade or Hassou Tobi in PVE.
- Hassou Tobi does massive damage against lone targets, making it ideal against bosses and Democalypse.
- Teal can be used to cheese certain PvE Content.
- Excellent set of panels that grant him Accuracy, more MP and more damage.
|
| Cons |
- Only native pierce on Hassou Tobi.
- Random Targetting on Hassou Tobi makes it bad against Waves and in PvP.
- Will have MP issues if Panel 2 is not unlocked.

| Pros |
- Kongo Zaou is a powerful passive that grants Phys Pierce to all your demons under Rebellion. Hell Gongen is a team archetype based specifically around this ability.
- Panel 3 grants team-wide rebellion whenever he crits. This is very powerful for Physical-based Hero Masakado T1 teams, as it cranks up their damage to insane levels and guarantees virtually infinite crits.
- Red gives him a cheap AOE attack in Herculean Strike.
- While not common, he can work as a Fire Mage as he has passable Magic and Fire Amp in Purple.
- Great set of Panels that provide additional damage, accuracy and team-wide Rebellion.
|
| Cons |
- Weak to Elec
- Middling AGI affects his Accuracy and Speed. Missing can be disastrous for a Masakado A team, as they aim to win on the very first turn.
|
| Notes |
- Auto-Rebellion is a very powerful transfer skill for him, as it will guarantee he can start the crit loop.

| Pros |
- Rip does AOE Piercing Physical damage and heals him by 50% of the damage dealt. It also refunds 2 MP when maxed, allowing you to spam it repeatedly.
- Nosferatu increases his damage every turn (up to 50% after 5 turns). This makes him excellent for long, sustained PVE fights, especially since he can heal himself with Rip.
- Mana Aid in Clear is very useful for PVE, as it ensures he can spam Rip every wave.
- Very tanky thanks to incredible bulk and Nosferatu providing him a better Enduring Soul. Purple gives him Null Mortal which makes him even harder to kill.
- Red gives him access to discounted Megaton Raid. Note that it will not pierce without P2 though!
|
| Cons |
- Has accuracy issues due to low AGI and Middling LUK.
- No natural Pierce outside Panel 2 might cause issues when out of MP.
|
| Notes |
- A very useful unit for beginners to cruise through the early parts of PVE.
- Limited-time Collaboration unit. Nobody knows if he will be rerun.
