Pros	Golden Greed automatically breaks Barriers and inflicts Poison on the enemy team at the start of their turn. This works regardless of whether Fafnir's team goes first. This timing strikes during the short window where Demeter's Bulwarks (and thus her team's ailment immunity) may be offline, which combos well with Tiamat A. With skill levels, Golden Greed increases Poison's damage from 5% HP fractional to 25% HP fractional, applying at the end of each demon's action. This elevates Poison from a minor annoyance to a legitimate threat. Panels 2 and 3 grant him 50% damage reduction from Poisoned enemies, making it difficult for the foe to kill him to disable Golden Greed. Teal ups his Elec resistance to Repel, helping his bulk against Zeus teams.
Cons	Weak to Elec unless Teal, which guarantees his demise against Elec Bros (Zeus, Odin A, Botis). Weak to Ice. No Phys Pierce until panel 3. No boosts to attack damage in his kit, plus Blight's power being low, means his high STR is under-utilized. Underwhelming if Poison does not land - neither the Poison damage pressure nor his vs-Poison bulk will apply in that case. Ailments aren't helpful in lategame PvE, due to inflated enemy stats.
Notes	Since his main niche is chain effects before the enemy can act, you want to string together as many as possible: P4 Nergal + Hachiman chains Poison into team-wide Might (Nergal) + Phys AoE (Nergal P4) + Zenith (Hachiman) + another Phys AoE (Hachiman) + team-wide Might again (Hachiman P2). This can apply a huge amount of damage pressure. Fafnir + Kabuso + p3 Lilith creates a combo of Poison + Charm + Bind. If Kabuso is not available, Gurr can chain Bind from Poison. To counter Demeter, Fafnir's team needs to go first, so that Demeter's start-of-battle Bulwark wears off when her team's turn comes up.
