Build(s)

Pascal the dog is not here
ArchPurple.png Transferred Skills Notes:

A great T1 demon as he counteracts enemy Intimidating Stance by replacing the lost Press Turn (once only) and applies a War Cry debuff. Hell Blaze is a good option to weaken enemy tanks before allowing his teammates to clean up as well as it being multi-hit with a decent crit rate means he can easily generate 1/2 press turns. Auto-Rebellion and Charge gained from enemy IS activation means he can nuke down most tanks with ease, especially when using Templar Dragon. Divines/War brands can be used instead if he's used on a more anti-midrange build to dish out more damage.
