Pros
  • While alive, War Aid will prevent pierce skills from going through Repel resistances. This is very useful when combined with demons that have high natural Repels (like Asura Lord or Vairocana) or against popular attack elements like Physical (like Teal Gogmagog).
  • Intimidating Stance is a very powerful passive that synergizes well with his low AGI. He is one of only five demons with this passive, and the only one that can also function as an anti-Pierce demon.
  • Enemy Annihilation fully debuffs enemies before chaining into a piercing physical AOE sweep. Because the AOE is a chain effect, you will not lose press turns even if it misses and/or hits into Physical NDR, allowing him to spam it without concern.
  • Amazing set of panels that provide him extra damage, MP reduction and a lot of Bulk.
  • Like Alilat, his Repel Pierce ability is perfect for cheesing Aura Gate 2 Boss fights.
Cons
  • Very high MP costs. Running Divine sets hurt his overall damage and/or Bulk.
  • Weak to Ice. While not a common attacking element, it is one of the most exploited - some turn 1 teams have Bufula L teched onto Garuda just to exploit this.
  • Does not have natural Pierce. This can cause issues with his AI attacking into Tetra Shift and/or Physical NDR when out of MP.
  • The fact the debuff from Enemy Annihilation only lasts 1 turn with high MP-cost makes him unsuitable as a debuffer in PVE unless Panel 2.
