Pros
  • Mjolnir deals insane damage at 500BP against a single target, ideal for Bosses and Democalypse. At max level it also refunds 2 MP when used, allowing it to be used repeatedly even without Divine brands. P3 and P4 further reduce the skill's cost to 5 MP.
    • This attack also pierces Bulwarks, making it an exceptional tool in Vanity 14.
  • Panels grant him up to a 60% boost for Mjolnir, making him an ideal Elec specialist, especially with Elec Pierce in Purple or from P4.
  • Clear's Maziodyne can see niche use in fights where it's important to hit all targets, such as Democalypse Prelim (for multiplier), or Hell's Park Underside Light/Dark (to kill Nidhoggr).
    • Maziodyne uses the same boosts as Mjolnir (panels 1 and 3, transfers like Butcher or Elec Amp, 2MP discount, etc), so it doesn't require extra effort to build into it.
    • However, if only raw overall damage to the enemy team is important, then Maziodyne loses to Mjolnir on 4 targets (120 * 4 = 480 power, which is less than Mjolnir's 500 power).
    • Clear misses out on Elec Pierce until panel 4, however the fights where Maziodyne would be helpful don't require Elec Pierce anyway.
  • Gigantomachia in Red benefits from his high Str, P1's damage boost, P3 & P4's 2MP discount, and P4's 100% Critical hit rate (as well as Charge, if you choose to use it).
  • P1 also provides a 50% boost to his Max HP, letting him survive the harsher battles in PvE. P2 provides a 20% Elec damage reduction for his party, with an extra 50% reduction for himself. P3 and P4 each lower the cost of AoE/random skills by 1 MP, and the latter will fire off a free Mjolnir, once per battle.
Cons
  • Weak to Force.
  • Despite his high STR, building him for Phys is not very viable due to his low AGI and LUK - he's going to miss a lot. His panels also don't support a Phys build very well, and he doesn't even have Phys Pierce.
    • His low accuracy means Rending Thunder is still a questionable choice, despite it being physical Elec.
  • Megaton Raid and Charge are wasted slots for an Elec mage build. Megaton Raid also doesn't benefit from his P1 damage boost and P3/P4 MP discounts, since it's single-target.
  • Random-target skills are unreliable in PvP, where you often need to choose targets carefully - making him a rather bad pick.
Notes
  • AI is extremely bad on Auto if not P4, as he will use Charge when he doesn't have enough MP to use Mjolnir. This can quickly lead him into a loop of Charge and Standard Attack, ignoring Mjolnir. This is only solved at P4, when Mjolnir becomes cheaper than Charge (or P3 for Clear, when Maziodyne becomes cheaper than Charge).
  • Generally speaking - build him Purple, then shift to Teal once he's p4. Reasoning:
    • Before P4, Purple is essential for Elec Pierce - but once at P4, the skill becomes redundant. Clear is otherwise the most-impactful color, but you can't shift to it. Red and Yellow aren't very good, so Teal becomes the next-best option by default.
  • If using Maziodyne, then Clear Thor with 2x 25% damage boosters is about a 13% damage gain over Purple Thor with transferred Maziodyne + 1x 25% damage booster.
