Role Summary

	PVE	PVP		Offense	Defense	Prelim	Boss
Guan Yu			4	2	2	3	4
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. P4 gives him Charge on an ally death, helping him make comebacks.
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. Highly dependent on the first kill for tempo. Failing to secure the first kill will result in him not having enough MP for the next turn. AoE chain after Dragon Blade makes it hard for him to avoid triggering Demeter, severely hurting any potential in PVP.
Notes	A Null Curse transfer makes him unkillable by Alice A, and also stops Curse from interfering with Loyal God of War healing.

Build(s)

Kratos but loyal.
	Transferred Skills		Notes: A true tank, he can dish out pain and he can take it as well. Pair with demons that can provide buff control and longevity such as XWM, Erl, etc. to spam Dragon Blade to your heart's content. He can easily snowball once he starts getting kills as he can also sustain himself while regenerating MP making MP control demons like Ulice not a concern. Teal can be used in a drain team instead but you do lose out on Mortal immunity.
