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
  • No innate Pierce means he will have trouble with Repel Physical effects (notably Tetraka Shift), unless you inherit Phys Pierce (weak).
  • Very expensive to Fuse.
Notes
  • Difficult to Panel due to Clear demons only giving 60 spirits.
  • Works very well in Turn 1 teams like Hero Masakado T1.
