Pros	The First Drop is a strong passive granting Ice Pierce, 100% crit rate, 50% battle speed, and a unique effect which places all allies in a state of Lydia at the start of the first turn, increasing their MP gain by 1 while they have Lydia, and giving them 20% damage reduction and ailment immunity. On top of this, the first time his team downs a demon each turn, he generates a press turn. Primordial Vortex is a strong 300 BP Physical Ice attack, that also casts a one turn Debilitate if successful and ignore endures. Since this can crit, it can do a massive amount of ST damage. Functions similarly to a weaker Demeter, offering MP support, ailment immunity, damage reduction, and healing instead of a bulwark. Gains even more speed in panels, along with a self bulwark when going first, more damage, HP, and accuracy. Isn't countered by Loup-Garou, making him a viable alternative.
Cons	Demeter mostly outclasses him, even with Loup-Garou. She offers much more MP, and while he does have more personal damage and in theory his healing is more effective against bulwark piercing attacks, in practice it isn't enough to make a difference. 169 AGI is extremely low for his battle speed boosting effects. He's nowhere near as good as boosting speed as other speedy demons like Astaroth. Ultimately compared to the meta demons, while he's far from useless, he's just outclassed, outside of Ice Democ.
