Rating

• The PVP Tier List compares demons in their Panel 3 form, with their skills leveled up, with good brands, and assumes the best transfer skills.
  • However a Tier List comparing demons solely in their Panel 0/1/2 forms would not be largely different from this one.

• 5★ PVP scores are defined as such
  • 5: These demons are a central force in the current Metagame. Expect to see them >3 times out of 10 matches.
  • 4: These demons have a more specific role but can still thrive very well with proper support in the current Meta. Expect to see them at least once every 10 matches.
  • 3: These demons are not very popular or only work in very specific / niche teams, requiring a lot of support.
  • 2: These demons do not work well outside low-rank PVP (Gold 1 and below).
  • 1: These demons are ill-suited for PVP, regardless of rank.

• 5★ PVE scores are defined as such
  • 5: Amazing (Usably nigh anywhere and is kind of a staple)
  • 4: Great (Usable for most things and has great defining elements)
  • 3: Good (Is usable for a good chunk of content but is not the greatest)
  • 2: Meh (Has uses few and far between)
  • 1: Terrible (Hardly usable)

• 5★ Democalypse (the Guild vs Guild game mode) scores are defined as such
  • 5: These demons are a staple for their respective elements and used by all top 1% teams.
  • 4: These demons are very good for their respective elements and are often used in top 3% teams.
  • 3: These demons are decent for their respective elements, but are overshadowed by other demons in higher ranks.
  • 2: These demons are filler demons at best.
  • 1: These demons are ill-suited for Democalypse.
  • For a more comprehensive Democalypse Tier List, refer to the Democalypse page

• For the 4★ tier list, anything above a score of 4 is worth considering, as they are equal or even better than several 5★ demons

5 star Tier List

Name	Best Archetype(s)		PVE	PVP		Democalypse
	PVE	PVP		Offense	Defense	Prelim	Boss
Alice			4	4	4	5	5
Pros	Die for Me! inflicts Mortal (instant kill) and bypasses Endure-type skills, making her incredibly valuable in deleting key demons for PVP. High MAG stat combined with Dark Amp in purple makes her a very powerful Dark Mage. Incredible panels that give her damage amplification, MP cost reduction and increased uses of her signature unique skill. She's cute!!
Cons	Needs Dark Pierce (weak) and Panel 3 to really shine. Needs to run Divines without Panel 2 for first turn Die for Me! and to mitigate long term MP issues. Weak to Light and by extension the Archangels matchup. Teal fixes this somewhat but you lose Dark Amp in return.
Notes	She has pretty bad AI (will sometimes Mamudoon instead of spamming DFM), keep this in mind when using her for Defense. Mortal is lot less powerful against Xi Wangmu teams, as she will simply resurrect the Mortal-ed target and is immune to Mortal herself.
Alice A			5	5	5	1	2
Pros	The only demon in the game with AOE Mortal. When paired with curse support like Nebiros, she can easily decimate entire teams without Null Curse and/or Null Mortal. Drains 1 MP from the enemy at the start of their turn, which stops MANY T1 sweepers (eg Baal, Anat, Uriel) in their tracks. Trivializes almost all PVE content like Aura Gate and Hell's Park - pair her with an AOE curse inflictor and instakill everyone! Purple gains Null Mortal which prevents her from being killed by other Mortal users. She's cute!!
Cons	Hard countered by Null Curse and Null Mortal. Weak to Light and by extension the Archangels matchup. Teal fixes this somewhat but you lose Null Mortal in return.
Notes	Cannot be used in the same team with OG Alice.
Alilat			4	3	3	1	1
Pros	While alive, Repel Pierce 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 (example Teal Gogmagog). Very high LUK stat allows her to be used as both an Ailment inflictor and a cleanser (especially with innate Infernal Mask and P1). Good HP and Vit stats and no weaknesses give her a lot of bulk. Very cheap to fuse.
Cons	Megidola is a wasted skill as her Magic stat is low.
Notes	One of only three demons that can negate pierce, and the only fuseable source. A near Must-Have demon for PVE, as Repel Pierce paired with appropriate demons is perfect for cheesing most Boss fights.
Amaterasu			4	2	2	3	3
Pros	One of the best PVE support demons in the game. Tenson Kourin is the best buff spell in the game, guaranteeing you will have all 3 buffs at the end of cast. Gains access to discounted Mediarahan in Yellow, which heals for a lot thanks to her high magic stat.
Cons	Maragion is a wasted slot for support builds. High MP cost Weak to Elec
Notes	Panels are very lackluster. Healing is less important in PvP, reducing her potential there.
Ananta			1	3	3	3	1
Pros	Purple provides all 3 Auto-Buffs, which is incredibly strong Reasonable bulky with 3 Nulls makes him a decent support demon. War Cry or Recarmdra can be transferred to increase his support potential. Works well in slow double Intimidating Stance teams, and can be deliberately left at level 1 to lower battle speed if used as a pure buff bot.
Cons	Weak to Force Buffs disappear after a wave is cleared in PvE, so Auto-Skills aren't as valuable there. Relies heavily on transfer skills to function well. Unfortunately most good transfer skills are Gacha-only.
Notes	-
Anat			4	5	5	5	3
Pros	Thunderstorm deals high piercing AOE damage and autocasts Tarunda. Killer Impulse lets her function as an Endure breaker, and has great synergy with Hresvelgr.
Cons	Weak to Force Panel 2 is Mandatory for Turn 1 Thunderstorm. Expensive to fuse and only available in clear. Colored variants are Gacha exclusive. Only Thunderstorm and Killer Impulse have pierce.
Notes	Requires additional MP Support when going against Alice A teams Red gives her discounted Thunder Reign which can be used against Elec Anti-Pierce such as Rama + Mother Harlot. Note that it does not pierce though!
Angra Mainyu			3	5	5	1	1
Pros	Everything Evil is an incredibly powerful passive that gives your whole team 2 MP at the beginning of the turn. Not only does this counter the MP Drain from Alice A comps, it also allows your team to run Spell/War brands instead of Divine for more damage. 16 Scourges chips off 25% of Max HP from the opposing team and inflicts them with every single ailment in the game. The chip damage helps your main sweeper to clean up, while the Ailments can be used to set up for demons like Alice A and Pale Rider. When used with Atavaka or Alilat, innate Repel Elec helps to soft-counter Atropos, as the second part of Passionate Rage will not proc if the first Elec part is Anti-Pierced. Thanks to his High LUK and Infernal Mask in Purple, he can be run as a Pseudo Cleric if Prayer is transferred (preferably with another Ailment Resist passive like Epitome of Illusion). Panel 2 provides a single turn Luster Candy in addition to the 2 MP, making it even easier for your team to sweep.
Cons	Weak to Light Not very useful for PVE as his passive has limited uses, and Ailments generally fall flat late game due to inflated enemy stats. Has a very expensive banner, requiring 27,500 gems for a guaranteed copy.
Notes	Be very wary of any enemy Daisoujou, as he will respond with a Mute Counter the moment you fire off 16 Scourges. This can severely mess you up if your sweepers end up getting Muted. As Angra Mainyu is a Tyrant, he can be run in Lucifuge teams. Red in particular gives him access to discounted Megidolaon, which is further discounted thanks to Hell's Ministry and Lucifuge's Panel 1. In return, the ailments from 16 Scourges allow Lucifer to run double Deadly skills (like Deadly Poison and Deadly Mute), which will greatly amplify Morning Star's damage.
Aniel			4	4	4	2	5
Pros	Glorious Bolt restores 1 MP to the whole party (including himself) and costs a measly 5 MP to activate. Innate Thunderclap and Light Enhancement in Purple make him a powerful nuker for Light Democalypse. Panel 3 unlocks a damage aura for your other Archangels, further elevating the damage ceiling of that team comp. When used with Atavaka or Alilat, innate Repel Elec helps to soft-counter Atropos, as the second part of Passionate Rage will not proc if the first Elec part is Anti-Pierced.
Cons	As Archangels are mostly used as Glass Cannon teams, God's Grace is irrelevant most the time (outside of the passive damage boost).
Notes	The MP restoration aspect is very powerful in the current PVP meta as a counter to Alice A's passive MP Drain. This is most notable on an Archangels comp, who previously had to run suboptimal techs like Lakshmi A to avoid being crippled by Give me Jewels. Even outside Archangels, he can function as an offensive MP Battery to give T1 teams even more muscle.
Ardha			4	4	3	1	5
Pros	Sahasrara is an incredibly stacked passive that provides additional MP regen, damage, hit rate and healing effectiveness. Ruin and Grace is a very hard-hitting ST skill that has a high critical rate and heals your whole party if it hits. Combined with high natural MAG and innate Epitome of Carnage, Ardha can deal massive damage while keeping your party healthy. Naturally drains Fire and Elec while gaining Drain Phys in Teal. This makes Ardha an incredible partner for Rama, especially to soft-counter Atropos, as the second part of Passionate Rage will not proc if the first Elec part is Anti-Pierced. Can be used in Phys Democalypse as a powerful boss unit, particularly in purple for Merciless Blow.
Cons	Ruin and Grace does not bypass Endures.
Notes	Run Ardha with Lakshmi A to give your whole team near unlimited MP.
Asherah			3	4	4	2	2
Pros	Mother's Creation revives a unit with full HP while also generating Press Turn, allowing the resurrected unit to act immediately. Silent Prayer in Yellow allows her act as a Pseudo-Cleric and also remove Barrier, Tetraja, Charge etc. Innate Mediarama and Recovery Amp in Purple lets her function as a decent PVE healer. Functions well in a Moirai Sisters team, as she can fulfill the Lady/Femme requirements while still providing massive utility.
Cons	Weak to Ice and Dark, both very common attacking elements. Low AGI means she will need Lead Brands or even slower teammates to work as a Cleric.
Notes	Very powerful against Archangel Teams, as her sheer bulk and Fire damage reduction from Panel 2 ensures she can stay alive and turn the tables through Mother's Creation. Beware revive sealing units like Skull Knight who can render Mother's Creation useless.
Asura			4	2	2	4	5
Pros	High STR and Ashura are devastating against lone targets like Bosses. This makes him a very strong Phys Democalypse unit. Three Faces Six Arms and his good innate bulk are the perfect counter to skills like Fire of Sinai and Griffon-Bolts. Mana Aid is fantastic for PVE farming as it lets him spam Ashura. Single-handedly trivializes Brands of Sin Deceit 11. Repel Phys in Teal and high VIT make him a good partner for Alilat and Atavaka.
Cons	Weak to Ice As nothing in his kit boosts damage, damage booster transfers are mandatory.
Notes	His only Piercing attack being Random Target makes him near unusable in PvP. Using Ashura against Masakado means your death.
Asura Lord			5	4	4	5	3
Pros	Incredibly high ST damage that also generates press turns thanks to his high Crit Rate. Passively increases your team's Crit Rate and Crit Damage through Endless War. Pairs very well with Kartikeya, as their combined passives will give your team a whopping +40% boost to Crit Rate. Slaughter All is fully unblockable and ignores Endure-type skills, allowing you to delete any demon he claps. It is also very useful to clean up any remaining enemies (usually bosses) after your AOE demons have unleashed their payload, notably D11 Metatron. Red gives him a powerful AOE in Gigantomachia. Combined with his innate Great Aim and pierce in Endless War, this makes him a terrifying sweeper. Good repel resistances makes him a natural partner for Alilat or Atavaka. Fire and Light repel is especially useful to counter Archangel teams, as it makes him immune to both their AOE elements.
Cons	Hard to raise Slaughter All's damage further as it is of the Almighty element. High MP cost mandates the use of Divine Brands if Panel 2 is not unlocked, which can slightly reduce his damage potential. Middling AGI makes him slightly awkward to fit in fast or slow teams.
Notes	Fits well in Hero Masakado T1 Defense Teams, especially if Auto-Rebellion is transferred.
Atavaka			4	5	5	1	1
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 (example Teal Gogmagog). Intimidating Stance is a very powerful passive for PVP and synergizes with his low AGI. 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.
Cons	Weak to Ice. Very high MP costs. Running Divine sets hurt his overall damage and/or Bulk. Does not have natural Pierce. This can cause issues with his AI attacking into Tetra Shift and/or Physical NDR when out of MP.
Notes	One of only three demons that can negate pierce. He is also the only one with Intimidating Stance.
Atropos			2	5	5	3	3
Pros	One of the core demons in the Moirai Sisters archetype. When combined with two other Lady or Femme demons (preferably her two other sisters), Passionate Rage dishes out massive damage before the battle really even begins. Since Passionate Rage triggers at the start of the opponent turn, she can easily kill frail Turn 1 Sweepers especially if combined with the buff swing from Lachesis' Passionate Embrace. Severed Fate deals Piercing Single Target damage and will automatically target Fire, Ice, Elec or Force weaknesses. Combined with innate Merciless Blow, she can heavily punish any demons who leave weakness open. Purple gives her Infinite Chakra, allowing her to spam Severed Fate repeatedly even while on Spell Brands. Red gives her access to discounted Judgement, useful if you want an AOE to compliment her passive chains. Her Panels provide valuable ailment immunity, making it harder for Ailment Teams to sweep her on revenge.
Cons	If the first Elec part of Passionate Rage is Anti-Pierced (for example Rama-Mother Harlot, Atavaka-Aniel), the second Fire part will not proc, literally halving her damage. Requires a good team built around her. Awkward mix of 4 Elements plus having both ST and AOE skills makes it difficult to boost her damage outside Elemental Cycle. As Press Turns are calculated based on the number of demons alive at the start of the turn, any demons who survive Passionate Rage will gain access to multiple press turns. Several demons like Guts and Anat can abuse this to reverse sweep instead. Due to the way the Moirai Sisters archetype is typically built, Revive Sealing units like Skull Knight are a very powerful counter.
Notes	Tzitzimitl bears special mention here. If she can survive Passionate Rage, she will gain immediate access to Disastrous Eclipse and Star of Darkness, letting her fire off hard-hitting AOE Revive Seals.
Azazel			2	3	3	4	3
Pros	The only demon in the game with access to two innate Endures. He can stack up to 4 Endures as a result, giving him immense survivability as long as it is not bypassed. Fallen Grigori provides him HP and MP sustain every turn (as long as he is below the 50% threshold). Combined with his Endure stacks, this can make him very difficult to kill. Guillotine Blaze is a low MP single target Fire Nuke that pierces, ignores Endures and has high crit rate. This is further augmented by innate Fire Amp and constant Rebellion from Fallen Grigori. Panel 2 fire off a free Guillotine Blaze every turn, letting him deal extra damage without consuming MP.
Cons	Weak to Elec, which is currently a very bad weakness to have thanks to Atropos. Damage is lackluster in Fire Democalypse Boss Phase, as the Boss has +100% Crit Resist. Only Guillotine Blaze has pierce. Several skills like Sword of Actuation and Dragon Slayer completely ignore Endures, negating huge portion of his kit.
Notes	Red provides him discounted Maragidyne, giving him access to an AoE skill for PVE and/or Democalypse. Note that it will not pierce though!
Baal			4	4	4	5	5
Pros	Tempest deals high piercing AOE damage and autocasts Sukunda. Rains of Canaan provides a teamwide Force damage boost. Good synergy with other Force sweepers like Susano-o and Garuda A
Cons	Weak to Ice Expensive to fuse and only available in clear. Colored variants are Gacha exclusive. Only has pierce through Tempest.
Notes	Requires additional MP Support when going against Alice A teams. Red gives him discounted Killing Wind which can be used against Force Anti-Pierce such as Rama + Susano-o A. Note that it does not pierce though!
Barong		Any	4	2	2	3	3
Pros	Barong Dance provides a decent AOE heal while giving the party a full Luster Candy buff. It also has infinite uses and can be reduced to a mere 5 MP when maxed with Panel 1 unlocked. Very high AGI allows him to be used as a fast support, especially with Speedster transferred for Battle Speed requirements. Can be used as a buffer for Elec Democalypse thanks to Barong Dance having high cast priority.
Cons	Weak to Force and Dark. Low MAG stat means he won't heal for much. Elec attack spells (and Elec Amp in purple) are wasted slots considering his bad Magic stat.
Notes	Niche use in Aura Gate as giving him Support AI with his MAtk low enough guarantees he'll heal you with Barong Dance no matter your HP. This is useful to recover HP lost from Talk and/or enemy encounters.
Bayonetta☆		Any	2	2	2	1	2
Pros	Madama Stomp levels and Savage Glee in purple give her enormous crit rates. Madama Stomp autocasts an Almighty attack that also charms whenever she lands a crit. Deals decent damage after being buffed to scale off her PATK. Gomorrah (B) has high base damage and crit chance, letting you delete an enemy and charm the rest of the team.
Cons	Highly dependant on having Panel 2 unlocked for Phys Pierce. Gomorrah (B) takes two turns to charge, and is difficult to build due to it scaling off both PATK and MATK. Mediocre overall stats, bad bulk.
Notes	No longer meme :( Limited-time Collaboration unit. Nobody knows if she will be rerun.
Belial			3	3	3	5	2
Pros	Flames of Gomorrah is a hard hitting fire phys skill that pierces, crits and can be cast T1 even with War brands. Fire Amp in Purple makes it even deadlier. Sins of Sodom provides Fast-Debilitate if an enemy is cursed which pairs perfectly with the 80% curse-rate of Flames of Gomorrah, or Nebiros who can curse before your turn. Panel 2 allows him to Crit indefinitely.
Cons	Weak to Ice Lack of ST skills gives him trouble with Fire Anti-Pierce like Atavaka-Vairocana or Rama-Surt.
Notes	Many PvE enemies including certain Bosses are not immune to curse, making him an insane Debuffer for PvE.
Black Frost	Any	Any	3	2	2	5	2
Pros	High Magic stat and innate Pierce on Go to Hell! makes him a good magic sweeper. Curse of Anguish and Panels pair well with Yama who automatically curses everyone at the start of the Boss wave. Go to Hell! has a high Curse chance, which lets him setup for other curse-based sweepers like Alice A. Yellow gains access to Concentrate to further increase his sweeping potential. Innate Mabufudyne and Ice Amp in Purple lets him function as an excellent Ice Sweeper too, especially for Democalypse.
Cons	Weak to Light Go to Hell! has low base power and does not gain damage on level up. His damage output is below average and needs his Curse gimmick. Dark element AOEs are severely countered by the PVP Meta (Masakado + Rama or Atavaka + Hecate)
Notes	-
Black Maria			2	2	2	1	1
Pros	Black Beckoning grows stronger with every passing turn, culminating in a massive Fractional damage nuke on turn 4. Black Lullaby provides an AOE Heal while Muting all enemies. This further chains into a Rakukaja + Sukukaja buff with Panel 2 unlocked. High LUK helps her with landing ailments and run a Dodge Tank build relatively well, especially if you have access to Panel 1 and/or Epitome of Madness.
Cons	Weak to Force Black Beckoning has a low damage cap (3400 Max Damage combined). As a result, she will have trouble killing bulky units without additional damage support. Black Beckoning boost level only increases if she is alive at the start of your turn. By repeatedly killing her, you can delay the Fractional nuke indefinitely. Black Beckoning has a usage cap of 1 - once the max boost level nuke is fired, it will simply stop functioning for the rest of the battle.
Notes	Has decent synergy in a Moirai Sister team - she fulfills their skill requirements being of the Lady race, and the constant passive damage from Atropos brings targets down to Black Beckoning kill range. She will also benefit from any ailment immunity panels they have.
Black Rider			2	3	3	4	2
Pros	Soul Divide punishes healing by dealing Fractional damage based on their current health. Useful in Brands of Sin Vanity stages where healing is abundant. Soul Divide also punishes passive healing such as Guan Yu's Loyal God of War and Hecate's Lunar Awakening. Famine deals fractional damage to all enemies and saps 2 MP at the end of their turn. Pairs well with Alice A for a devastating MP denial comp. Decent Magic stat and good Panels can make him a strong Ice mage.
Cons	Weak to Fire Soul Divide damage is based on Current Health and cannot kill targets. High AGI makes him awkward to slot in slow teams, despite the great synergy with Alice A.
Notes	-
Clotho			3	4	4	1	1
Pros	A powerful (but not mandatory) addition to the Moirai Sisters archetype, Woven Fate is a 6 times use AOE Heal that also randomly revives one of your fallen teammates. Not only does this allow you to constantly revive Atropos, it also ensures all of their chain effects can go off. When combined with two other Lady or Femme demons (preferably her two other sisters), Passionate Allure charms all enemies at the end of her turn. This forces teams to constantly waste turns curing Charm, while Passionate Rage constantly chips at them. Has arguably the best Panels for ailment immunity. Panel 1 prevents the team from being swept by Alice A, while Panel 2 makes them immune to Charm in the events of a mirror match. High LUK helps her with landing ailments and run a Dodge Tank build relatively well, especially if you have access to Epitome of Madness.
Cons	Passionate Allure's Auto-Charm can be punished by Daisoujou on the opposing team. This point is moot if you have Panel 2 Atropos, which makes your team immune to Mute. Requires a good team built around her. Due to the way the Moirai Sisters archetype is typically built, Revive Sealing units like Skull Knight are a very powerful counter.
Notes	As it is classified as a Recovery skill, the AI will spam Woven Fate to heal HP even if there are no downed demons, wasting the charges. Highly reliant on having Panels to do well, as she faces stiff competition from other Lady / Femme demons like Xi Wangmu and Asherah for the slot in Moirai Sister teams.
Cu Chulainn			3	2	2	4	4
Pros	One of the best demons to fuse early on. He has access to Force Pierce, passable MAG stats and can be easily fused through 4x4 fusions. No weaknesses is a lifesaver early on and gives him more flexibility in transfer skills. While not common, he can be run as a physical demon to some degree. He has innate Savage Glee and Gae Bolg hits hard against bosses (especially after Panel 1), making him an acceptable option for Phys Democalypse.
Cons	High MP costs, cannot Mazandyne Turn 1 in PVP unless Panel 3. As nothing in his kit boosts Force damage, damage booster transfers are mandatory. No Single-Target attack means he will have trouble against Anti-Force-Pierce like Rama + Susano-o A.
Notes	He is mostly an early-game demon, and will fall off once you gain access to stronger Pierce sweepers like Baal and Anat. Low AGI makes him useable in Intimidating Stance teams.
Cu Chulainn A			4	4	4	5	3
Pros	Has full pierce on two elements. Barbed Spear deals three separate hits, allowing it to function as an Endure breaker. Culann's Hound provides him an Auto-Charge at end of turn. This allows him to deal massive damage the next turn if he is not dealt with. Teal has Drain Phys to pair with Rama in Drain Teams, increasing his survivability.
Cons	Needs to survive an entire round to make use of Auto-Charge. Missing just one of Barbed Spear's 12 hits results in lost press turns. As nothing in his kit boosts Force damage, damage booster transfers are mandatory.
Notes	Auto-Charge does not activate when waves are cleared in PVE. Barbed Spear has a hidden accuracy bonus. Combined with innate Epitome of Aggression this gives him more accuracy than one would initially expect.
Cybele			3	1	1	5	5
Pros	High MAG stat, Magna Mater, Merciless Blow and innate Trisagion + Maragidyne make her an extremely good Fire caster. Magna Mater provides a team-wide Fire damage boost, incredible for Democalypse.
Cons	Lack of Fire Pierce means she will struggle against Fire NDR. Expensive multi-fusion that requires clear Asherah.
Notes	In PVP, Fire Pierce (weak) is insufficient due to the popularity of Asherah and Rama. Difficult to Panel due to Clear demons only giving 60 spirits.
Daisoujou	Any		4	5	5	1	1
Pros	Preach makes him immune to all ailments and will punish enemy teams attempting to use Charm. Cleansing Shout is an Ailment and Debuff Cleanse packed into one skill. These two skills function together to make him the best Cleric in the game. Good balanced stats coupled with no weaknesses and a perfect base kit allows total freedom in builds. Can work as a bulky tank, evasion tank, healer and/or revive support based on build. Very useful for Brands of Sin Sloth 11 auto-runs.
Cons	Is a hard support unit, relies on transfer skills to offer anything outside cleanse.
Notes	He is very good in the current Meta, both against Curse-focused Nebiros teams and Auto-Charm Clotho teams.
Dante☆	Any		3	2	2	4	2
Pros	Rapid Shot deals five hits and puts him in a state of Rebellion without consuming any MP. This can be useful versus MP Denial teams like Alice A. High STR and VIT make him a bulky Phys Sweeper with with no weaknesses, perfect for slower Intimidating Stance Teams. Million Stab is a piercing multihit AOE skill, useful for breaking Endures. At max levels it also refunds 2 MP on cast, making it easier to spam in PvE.
Cons	Low AGI and LUK affects his accuracy. Missing just one of Rapid Shot's 5 hits results in lost press turns. The Rebellion Autocast will also not trigger if any shot misses. Million Stab has high MP costs, making it difficult to use for PvP. No natural Pierce outside Panel 1 might cause issues when out of MP (Rapid Shot does not naturally Pierce). His Awakening Skills are mostly useless.
Notes	Limited-time Collaboration unit. Nobody knows if he will be rerun.
Demiurge	Any		4	4	4	1	1
Pros	The only demon in the game with access to both Drain Pierce and Repel Pierce, Demiurge makes it incredibly easy to outfit your team with Anti-Pierce coverage, shutting down most elemental AOEs. To add insult to injury (or in this case more injury to injury), False God triggers an Almighty AOE counter upon a repel, which deals respectable damage thanks to his high MAG stat and boost to almighty damage. This makes him particularly useful versus demons like Atropos and Guan Yu who are rather forced into their AOE spells. Supreme Creator provides a team-wide heal upon a drain, which can be useful if run in bulky sustain teams. It also passively reduces the MP cost of all his skills by 1 MP, giving you more flexibility in brands. Null Mortal in Purple makes him the only Anti-Pierce demon in the game who is immune to Mortal effects. Red grants him access to discounted Ars Magna, a powerful single target Almighty attack.
Cons	Does nothing against Almighty and Fractional damage, both of which are extremely common in higher tiers of PVP. Stiff competition from Atavaka, who not only has Repel Pierce but also the extremely useful Intimidating Stance passive in Purple. Difficult to build optimally as he wants both damage and bulk/evasion; focusing on one will cause the other to suffer as a result.
Notes	He can be cheesed with Black Rider - hit into a Drain and watch his entire team lose half their HP. Comboes well with piercing attackers that drain or repel their own attacking element, who proceed to purposely hit into Repel Pierce. For example, if Hecate (with a Demiurge teammate) fires off Hell's Trivia into Atavaka + Angra Mainyu, the repelled hit will proc Hecate's own Dark Repel, which will in turn procs Demiurge's False God passive.
Demonee-Ho	purple		2	2	2	1	1
Pros	Desperate Hit deals damage to random enemies at the end of his turn. This is great for cleaning up lone surviving targets and/or breaking Endures. Desperate Hit deals Almighty (Phys) damage, which cannot be negated whatsoever. Iron Judgement deals Piercing Physical damage with a high chance to Bind, helping him land Desperate Hit shots. Low MP cost also makes it possible to be cast twice per turn even with War Brands.
Cons	Combination of ST, AOE, Phys and Almighty elements in his kit makes it difficult to further boost his damage. Fairly mediocre stats Iron Judgement has unimpressive Base Power. Does not have natural Pierce. This can cause issues with his AI attacking into Tetra Shift and/or Physical NDR when out of MP.
Notes	If you went first, Desperate Hit will trigger before opposing "end of turn" chain effects (like those from Nebiros and/or Hecate), giving you one last chance to clean up before they kick in. If Charge or Rebellion is activated before the end of the turn, the effect will carry over to Desperate Hit. It will consume the buff after the attack though!
Fafnir			1	1	1	1	1
Pros	Golden Greed greatly increases poison damage, giving him a unique niche against Celestial Gui Xian. Red Fafnir meme pull.
Cons	Does not have any other niches outside Celestial Gui Xian. Weak to Ice and Elec. Red Fafnir meme pull.
Notes	Comprehensively outclassed by Pale Rider as a Venomancer. Red Fafnir meme pull
Flauros			2	2	2	5	4
Pros	With Panel 2 unlocked, Flauros absolutely wrecks Phys Democalypse Prelim Phase, farming an absurd amount of multiplier due to the way his skills are coded (see notes for more details). Comboes well with Marici, as Iron Fist and Hell Leopard are considered different skills and will hence trigger Shimmer Arrow twice. Can also be used in the Democalypse Boss Phase, as Hell Leopard will confer Tarukaja and Sukukaja to the team, allowing your other teammates to hit harder.
Cons	Weak to Ice. Does not gain true Phys Pierce unless fully panelled. This can cause issues with his innate Death Counter and/or when he runs out of MP. It also makes his Red Archetype less appealing as a result. Low Base power on his skills means he will struggle to do damage. P2 will consume the Rebellion buff granted by Hell Leopard. This ends up decreasing his damage, as the Rebellion buff is wasted on the 75BP chain instead of his 130BP (more if levelled) Iron Fist.
Notes	In Democalypse Prelim Phase, you can only gain the +0.1 weakness hit multiplier once per skill, no matter how many times the skill hits. This is why you cannot gain more than +0.4 multiplier from skills like Ashura, Dragon Blade and MahaLantine. However Flauros can repeatedly gain weakness hit multiplier as Hell Leopard, Iron Fist and his Panel 2 chain effect are coded as different skills, bypassing the "only once per skill" limitation.
Frost Ace			3	3	3	2	5
Pros	Very good Ice Nuker with built-in Ice Boost and Master Assassin in purple. Vengeful Frost Fist is a heavy hitting Ice-element Physical attack that can Crit and autocasts Rebellion on hit. This allows him to crit infinitely at the cost of a measly 4 MP. Icy Rage provides a teamwide Ice damage buff, incredible for Democalypse.
Cons	No added accuracy in his kit. Requires Accuracy investment as Vengeful Frost Fist is prone to missing. Vengeful Frost Fist cannot hit through Tetrakarn nor any Ice NDR without P3 or Ice Pierce (weak).
Notes	-
Gabriel			4	4	4	5	5
Pros	One of the core demons in the Archangels archetype. When combined with two other Herald or Divine demons, God's Word dishes out massive damage even before battle really begins. Chain effects do not consume press turns even when hitting NDR. Innate Thunderclap and Elec Enhancement in Purple means she can function well as an Elec Mage too, particularly for Democalypse.
Cons	Needs a specific team built fully around her. Chain effects kills demons before they have a chance to talk, making her less useful for Aura Gate. Weak to Dark
Notes	The 10% weakness damage bonus from Elec Enhancement applies even to non-Elec skills like God's Word. This allows her to further punish any Hecate, Nebiros and/or Alice A who leave Light Weakness open. Requires additional MP Support when going against Alice A teams Reflected God's Word will damage her because of innate pierce. Beware of Alilat and Atavaka.
Garuda	Any		4	3	3	3	1
Pros	One of the fastest and most flexible demons in the game. With Speedster transferred, he can help your team hit various PVE battle speed requirements, while fulfilling either a support or additional DPS role depending on build. Vahana provides additional Evasion and can stack with other evasion passives like Evade to make him a dodge tank. Auto-Rakunda increases your team's damage output and synergizes well with his Turn 1 focus.
Cons	Does not have Speedster innately which in turn consumes a skill slots. Very low bulk Weak to Ice.
Notes	More or less outclassed by Hresvelgr in PVP nowadays. Red gives him access to discounted Maragidyne, giving him a cheap T1 nuke. Yellow makes him more support-oriented with Fog Breath.
Garuda A			3	3	3	3	5
Pros	Brilliant Wings fires a Piercing AOE Force attack every time any of your demon successfully dodges an attack. This makes him a powerful pick versus pure physical demons like Masakado and Guan Yu. Brilliant Wings fits well with evasive demons such as Nekomata A. Gale Talon is very damaging against lone targets like Bosses, making him very potent for Democalypse. It can also be used for PVP cleanup and/or Endure breaking.
Cons	Weak to Ice Evasion is useless against Magic teams Gale Talon takes time to reach full potential, reducing his T1 potential. Needs a team built around him to be really effective
Notes	Brilliant Wings will trigger off chain attacks such as Susano-o A's Heavenly Valor. You can use this to your advantage by repeatedly passing against him for free chip damage.
Gogmagog			4	3	3	4	3
Pros	Very high bulk, which he can capitalize on thanks to innate Earthquake. Three weaknesses makes him a good partner for Orcus. Less competition for Brands compared to your other demons, as he relies on PDEF for damage. Panels let him play a more support-oriented role, providing team-wide bonuses as long as he is alive. Repel Phys in Teal pairs well with Alilat or Atavaka for Phys Anti-Pierce.
Cons	Abysmal AGI means he misses. A lot. No innate pierce.
Notes	Single target nukes will still hurt him a lot, especially with bonus damage from exploiting his multiple weaknesses.
Guan Yu			4	5	5	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.
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
Notes	A Null Curse transfer makes him unkillable by Alice A, and also stops Curse from interfering with Loyal God of War healing. Highly dependant on the first kill for tempo. Failing to secure the first kill will result in him not having enough MP for the next turn.
Guts			4	5	5	5	2
Pros	Extremely high Crit rate thanks to Savage Glee and The Struggler. Butcher in purple further augments his damage. Dragon Slayer does insane AOE Piercing Physical damage and bypasses Endure-type skills. It can also be cast Turn 1 due to its low MP cost. Is decently tanky thanks to good bulk and The Struggler providing him a better Enduring Soul. Panel 1 gives him access to a Piercing Fire AOE that does not cost MP, very useful against MP denial teams.
Cons	Having no innate ST skills means he will be walled by Drain Teams. It is recommended to pair him with demons like Alice to eliminate Phys Anti-Pierce demons that prevent him from sweeping. No natural Pierce outside Panel 2 might cause issues when out of MP.
Notes	Limited-time Collaboration unit. Nobody knows if he will be rerun.
Hecate			4	5	4	2	5
Pros	Hell's Trivia is a cheap, hard-hitting spell that also functions as an Endure breaker. Coupled with her respectable Mag stat and Dark Enhancement in purple, she can be built as a powerful dark mage. Virtually immune to ailments thanks to Null Bind and Lunar Awakening. Transferring a cleanse skill like Prayer or Silent Prayer will allow her to function as a cleric, while still maintaining her offensive presence. Panel 2 lets her run Life or Spell brands without worrying about MP.
Cons	Not very bulky due to middling VIT and HP stats. Weak to light and by extension the Archangels matchup. As Lunar Awakening only cleanses at the end of the enemy's turn, she can still be killed by Alice A if she is cursed in the same turn (such as through Mahaju).
Notes	Innate Repel Dark means she can't be sniped by Alice if paired with Alilat or Atavaka. This is very significant as most dedicated ailment teams run Alice to remove the cleric. Lunar Awakening only triggers at the end of the enemy's turn. This makes her useless for Brands of Sin Sloth 11, as the ailments trigger at the beginning of the turn.
Hresvelgr			4	4	4	5	3
Pros	Highest Base AGI in the game, making him invaluable for fast teams. His unique North Wind deals AOE Ice damage whenever an opposing demon dies. This adds to the damage of fast Turn 1 teams and allows him to clear Endures. Auto-Rakunda in Purple further increases Turn 1 kill potential. Decent MAG with innate Ice Boost lets him fire off strong Bufudynes.
Cons	No ice pierce. Does not have Speedster innately which in turn consumes a skill slots. Weak to Phys and Fire. Phys Weakness is particularly bad unless paired with Orcus for Press Turn denial.
Notes	-
Huang Di			4	2	3	5	3
Pros	Superior Power gives him Phys Pierce and an accuracy boost. Yinglong Killer hits incredibly hard and has a high crit rate, demolishing teams without anti-Pierce.
Cons	As nothing in his kit boosts damage, damage booster transfers are mandatory. Yinglong Killer has a very high MP cost and cannot be fired off Turn 1. Below average HP and Vit stats.
Notes	More of less outclassed by Guts. Oh how the mighty have fallen! AI is very unreliable for PvP Defense; will occasionally Yinglong Killer into Anti-Pierce and lose press turns. Panel 3 healing has some fun applications together with Lakshmi A, allowing him to restore both HP and MP to the whole party upon a crit.
Huang Long			4	2	2	1	1
Pros	High AGI, incredible resistances and decent bulk make him a coveted PVE support demon. Five Elements walls magical demons without Pierce, such as Mother Harlot, Trumpeter and non-purple Rama. Luster Candy in Yellow gives him even more support utility in buff control. Purple provides him Speedster, giving him full flexibility over which skills to transfer. Trivializes Brands of Sin stage 10, opening up brand farming on Auto.
Cons	Pierce bypasses Five Elements. Five Elements can be removed through Makara Break, most notably by P3 Samael. Very MP hungry, needs Divine Brands or Mana Aid to function well.
Notes	Yellow AI has issues on auto as it will sometimes cast Luster Candy when you want to be spamming Five Elements instead. Due to this, Yellow is mostly recommended for Manual Play, and Purple for Auto-ing.
Indrajit			3	4	3	3	5
Pros	Lightning Shower provides incredible burst damage due to its high Base Power combined with Indrajit's high base MAG and innate Master Assassin. It can also be looped indefinitely thanks to its low MP cost and Lord of Clouds refunding 3 MP on kill. Lord of Clouds provides Elec Pierce and autocasts Five Elements on kill, which completely walls off Almighty attackers like Mother Harlot. Innate Merciless Blow combined with high damage output makes him very valuable for Democalypse.
Cons	Weak to Ice. Low bulk means he will get killed easily if outsped.
Notes	Highly dependant on the first kill for tempo. Failing to kill will result in MP Problems. Has AI issues when used on defense - AI will occasionally target demons with high HP instead of trying to finish off demons to secure Lord of Clouds activation.
Ishtar			2	2	2	4	3
Pros	Extremely high MAG stat. Panel 1 further increases her AOE damage. Her unique spell Mesopotamian Star deals Almighty damage while autocasting Tarukaja and Tarunda. At Panel 3, this further applies Rakukaja and Sukukaja, allowing her to deal damage while simultaneously buffing and debuffing. Gains Concentrate in Yellow, letting her nuke even harder.
Cons	Very high MP costs. Mesopotamian Star has low base power. Weak to Force and Dark. Low AGI stat and bad bulk.
Notes	Due to her high MAG and Panel 1 bonus, she works very well as an elemental caster for Democalypse if you can transfer the appropriate elemental spell.
Ixtab	Any		1	3	3	1	2
Pros	Upon death, Yaxche autocasts an almighty Mortal spell that will instakill the enemy that killed her, bypassing Endure. Yaxche autocast is almighty Mortal and ignores Endure-type skills. Yellow gives her access to discounted Mahashibabooon, letting her also function as an Ailment inflictor.
Cons	Five Elements and Null Mortal blocks Yaxche, shutting her down. Most important targets in PvE are immune to Mortal (Bosses, Kiwami Adds etc.)
Notes	There is no way to reset her level once you have leveled her up. You can leave her at Lv 1 to bait the AI into killing her and triggering Yaxche. Pair her with teammates that carry resurrection spells to repeat this cycle like Nebiros and Xi Wangmu. Leaving her at Lv 1 also sharply drops your battle speed, perfect for slow teams.
Izanami			3	3	3	5	4
Pros	Very high Magic stat. Combined with innate Merciless Blow, her unique Yomotsu Okami and Elec Amp in purple, she will decimate anything weak to Elec or Dark. Yomotsu Okami provides a teamwide increase to Dark and Elec damage, perfect for Democalypse. Great set of panels that provide her MP reduction, Elec Pierce and increased damage.
Cons	Weak to Fire Very expensive to fuse No true AOE spells Very RNG reliant in Democalypse as you cannot rely on Eileen to weather out bad Bolt Storm rolls.
Notes	Panel 2 for Elec Pierce is mandatory for PVP. Red gives her Hell Gaze, while purple provides Elec Amp. As both are very useful for their respective elemental Democalypse, consider building two of them if your Faction does these elements.
Jeanne☆			2	2	2	1	1
Pros	Madama Uppercut autocasts a follow-up Almighty attack upon Charm that also inflicts Bind. Evade and Madama Uppercut levels increase her evasion and allow her to function as a dodge tank. Gomorrah (J) has high base damage and crit chance, with a high chance to Bind all enemies. Pairs well with Bayonetta☆ or any other sources of charm like Lakshmi.
Cons	Gomorrah (J) takes two turns to charge, and is difficult to build due to it scaling it off PATK and MATK. Awkward combination of balanced stats and having both Physical and Magic skills make her pretty mediocre at everything. Very bad bulk means she will get shredded by Magic teams, which ignore her evasion. Panels do not benefit her much.
Notes	Limited-time Collaboration unit. Nobody knows if she will be rerun. Pretty much outclassed by P3 Lilith, who does "Bind upon Charm" better.
Kali			4	3	3	4	5
Pros	Violent Dance deals incredible burst damage to a single target and can be cast T1 even with War Brands (or with Divines if wary of Alice A). Can reliably crit for press turns thanks to Violent Dance putting her in a state of Rebellion. Gains Phys Amp in Purple turning her into a true Goddess of Slaughter. Panel 2 provides an MP refund, allowing her to spam Violent Dance. Red gives her access to discounted Hades Blast, giving her an AOE skill for PVE.
Cons	Weak to Ice. Requires a state of Rebellion to reach full potential. This mandates either one turn of warm up, or an Auto-Rebellion transfer. Loses turns if she misses even 1 of 6 Violent Dance hits.
Notes	-
Kartikeya			5	4	4	2	2
Pros	Fastest demon in the game especially when passive is maxed, allowing you to hit battlespeed requirements in PVE easily. Skanda proides teamwide Accuracy and Crit chance boost. Mortal Jihad plus Great Aim means he will rarely miss, while having a good crit rate to generate press turns for your team. No weaknesses and innate Speedster gives him great flexibility over transfer slots and lets him fulfill a variety of roles.
Cons	No innate pierce means he will have trouble with Tetra Shift, unless you inherit Phys Pierce (weak). Very expensive to Fuse.
Notes	Difficult to Panel due to Clear demons only giving 60 spirits. Works very well in Turn 1 teams like Hero Masakado T1.
Lachesis			2	5	5	1	1
Pros	One of the core demons in the Moirai Sisters archetype. When combined with two other Lady or Femme demons (preferably her two other sisters), Passionate Embrace debuffs their attack and defense while buffing yours. Not only does this make Atropos' Passionate Rage stronger, it also makes it harder for the opponent to fight back as they will have to deal with a massive reduction in damage. Measured Fate removes all debuffs from your team and buffs from the enemy team. This ensures the following Passionate Embrace will fully swing buffs in your favor. Intimidating Stance in Purple synergizes well with the rest of the Moirai Sisters who have very low AGI. Her Panels provide valuable ailment immunity, making it harder for Ailment Teams to sweep her on revenge.
Cons	Requires a good team built around her. Due to the way the Moirai Sisters archetype is typically built, Revive Sealing units like Skull Knight are a very powerful counter.
Notes	The AI will not cast Measured Fate if there are no buffs on your opponent and/or debuffs on you. As she does not have any other actives, this causes her to auto-attack most of the time, which can be a problem facing NDR Phys or evasive targets.
Lakshmi	Any		2	3	3	2	3
Pros	Extremely high Magic and Luck stats allow her to be built as either a Sweeper or an Ailment inflictor. Her High Luck, Insanity combined with Lotus Dance's high Charm rate virtually guarantees she will Charm everything that does not Null it. Panel 3 allows her to generate MP for the team, enabling certain first-turn kill strats like Shiva A, or counter MP drain teams like Alice A.
Cons	Weak to Force Lack of good innate offensive skills wastes her high MAG stat. Countered very hard by Daisoujou clearing her charms and punishing her for using them. Very bad bulk
Notes	-
Lakshmi A			4	4	4	1	1
Pros	Diwali restores MP to the whole team upon receiving any healing from skills. This includes her own Virtuous Prosperity, passive healing from Hecate/Guan Yu/Raphael and drain-type skills such as Light Devourer and her own Deathtouch. One of the best healers thanks to innate Recovery Amp and Virtuous Prosperity. At max boost level, Virtuous Prosperity cleanses all Ailments while conferring Five Elements and Null Mortal, making it a powerful support skill for both PVE and PVP. Yellow grants discounted Defensive Cry, a powerful defensive skill for PVE.
Cons	Weak to Force
Notes	In Yellow, AI prioritizes Defensive Cry which does not trigger Diwali. The MP restoration aspect is very powerful in the current PVP meta as a counter to Alice A's passive MP Drain.
Lilith	Any		2	2	3	3	1
Pros	Two strong Dark and Elec AOE skills. Decent Magic allows her to deal damage while also inflicting ailments on the enemy. Panel 3 casts a teamwide Bind whenever an enemy is charmed, and can be triggered multiple times per turn.
Cons	Weak to Force and Light No pierce, requires Dark Pierce (weak) to really shine. Countered very hard by Daisoujou clearing her charms and punishing her for using them.
Notes	Easy 4x4 fusion paths and good panels make her a decent Panel 3 goal to strive toward.
Lilith A			3	4	4	3	3
Pros	Demons die when they are killed by Temptation, unable to be revived. This lets her counter Nebiros, Xi Wangmu and Clotho revive strats, making her an exceptional Anti-Meta unit. Temptation can be fired off Turn 1 due to its low MP cost (5 MP), even against Alice A by using Divine Brands. It will also apply an AOE Charm if the attack is successful, which synergizes well with her passive. In addition to granting her Dark Pierce, Forbidden Fruit fires off another Temptation at the end of the turn if anyone is charmed. This lets her break Endures and/or clean up any remaining units. Panel 2 grants her a whopping +50% Crit Chance, which helps to boost her damage. She can be paired with Rama as a soft-counter to Atropos as she has innate Drain Elec. This also somewhat offsets her fraility, one of her main cons.
Cons	Weak to Light Requires a good team setup around her to truly shine, as Temptation has relatively low BP and no increased crit rate. Even with Dark Amp in Purple, she will have damage issues unless you grant her Auto-Rebellion and ensure buffs are in her favor (for example via Kuyo Flash). Damage is lackluster in Dark Democalypse Boss Phase, as the Boss has +100% Crit Resist. Relatively frail, requires Panels and/or Life Brands to survive in PvP, Passionate Rage in particular.
Notes	Red gives her access to discounted Mamudodyne, useful if you want a piercing AOE. She can run it relatively well due to Temptation also scaling off MATK.
Lucifer			3	2	3	4	3
Pros	Morning Star is the most powerful Almighty AOE spell in the game. Purple gives him Butcher to further augment his damage. Good bulk especially with Panel 2 unlocked. This helps him live long enough to build up the MP necessary for Morning Star. Repel Dark is sometimes useful with Alilat or Atavaka against bosses with Dark Pierce.
Cons	Weak to Light. Very MP hungry. Even when paired with P1 Lucifuge, he cannot Turn 1 Morning Star against Alice A teams without dedicated MP support. Very expensive to fuse and panel. No Pierce and full Almighty kit means he is shut down hard by Five Elements.
Notes	Paired with Panel 1 Lucifuge, you can also use him in a devastating Turn 1 Sweeper team.
Lucifuge			3	2	3	3	4
Pros	Hell's Ministry reduces Almighty cost for all Tyrant race demons and improves their bulk. Paired with his Panel 1 Bonus, this will give a whopping 2MP discount and enable powerful Turn 1 combos such as Lucifer's Morning Star. Light Devourer is a hard-hitting single target Dark spell, further amplified by innate Dark Amp. Clear gains access to discounted Necro Dogma. As it only costs 6MP when maxed (5MP if Panel 1), it can be fired off Turn 1 and giving your whole party a defensive buff as a bonus.
Cons	Weak to Light Extremely expensive to fuse. Middling AGI hurts battle speed for fast T1 teams.
Notes	Requires Panel 1 to really shine. Unimpressive without good teammates. His best partner Lucifer is another very expensive fusion, and requires Panel 3 to be really competitive in PVP.
Mahakala			4	4	3	4	5
Pros	High Magic stats and innate Concentrate + Pierce from The Great Darkness make him a very powerful ST Nuker. Wrathful Flame reduces defense, allowing your teammates to hit harder. It can also be cast on turn 1 PVP with spell brands if maxed. Very effective in Democalypse boss rounds as buffs/debuffs are difficult to come by. Goes through Endure as Wrathful Flame counts as three separate hits.
Cons	Combination of ST and AOE in his kit makes it difficult to further boost his damage.
Notes	Unlike Indrajit, lack of MP recovery means he cannot spam Wrathful Flame as easily in PVP. If Mahakala is not alive at the beginning of the turn The Great Darkness won't increase the turn count until Mahakala is revived and survives until the start of the following turn.
Mara			3	2	2	3	5
Pros	Only fuseable source of Phys Pierce. High STR and LUK means he will hit hard and crit often. Hell Thrust is very strong against bosses and in Democalypse, especially if he is Panel 3. Meme
Cons	Ice Weakness and non-existent bulk makes him go limp at the sight of Ice skills. High MP costs give Mara a big refractory period. Expensive to fuse, will quickly blow through your Magnetite reserves. Requires damage boost transfer to supplement his damage. Middling AGI means he will have accuracy issues and occasionally miss the hole. Also doesn't slot into Intimidating Stance teams well as a result. Due to Mara having no single target besides his regular thrust, Anti-Pierce units like Rama, Alilat and Atavaka are a turn off.
Notes	-
Marici			2	2	2	1	1
Pros	Shimmer Arrow lets her follow up ANY physical skill with a piercing Light ST nuke. This is great for cleaning up Endures and spreading out chip damage. Daylight Blade deals Piercing Phys damage while putting her into a state of Concentrate, allowing her chained Shimmer Arrow to hit much harder. This effectively gives her a 300 Base Power ST nuke (360 if it crits!) that also ignores Endures. Works great in Brands of Sin Sloth 12 where a majority of the enemies are weak to light.
Cons	Unimpressive STR stats, low base power on both her skills and no damage boosters in her kit severely hurt her damage output. Difficult to boost her damage due to her being a dual Physical and Light Hybrid attacker. Does not have natural Pierce. This can cause issues with his AI attacking into Tetra Shift and/or Physical NDR when out of MP.
Notes	For manual play, Shimmer Arrow will hit whoever your cursor is on. On Auto and/or Defense however, you are at the mercy of the AI for who she snipes.
Masakado			5	5	5	3	3
Pros	Innate Phys Amp in purple combined with a MASSIVE STR stat allow him to dish out ridiculous amounts of Physical damage. Warlord's Wrath is a loaded passive that combines Intimidating Stance, Faithful Counter and Phys Pierce. Occult Flash is a high damage, high crit-rate single target skill that will inflict Mortal with 100% chance. Has no weakness and a perfect base kit, allowing you to tailor his remaining transfer slots however you like. Gains Drain Phys in Teal, allowing you to pair him Rama to act as a Phys Anti-Pierce unit.
Cons	Low Agility leads to accuracy issues, especially against evasive targets. Is very frail thanks to a low VIT and HP stat.
Notes	Unable to be paired with Masakado A. This drops his Democalypse ranking by a decent amount, as Masakado A is a ridiculously powerful tech.
Masakado A	Any		5	5	5	5	3
Pros	Guardian of the East provides 1 extra Press Turn when going first, enabling devastating Turn 1 Kill strats like Hero Masakado T1. Kuyo Flash can be cast 1st turn and swings offensive buffs entirely in your favor through autocast Tarukaja, Rakunda, Sukukaja and Sukunda. Panel 2 provides team wide Null Mortal for one turn. This is useful for sweeping Ixtab defenses, or protecting your allies from being counterswept by Alice A if you fail to kill them Turn 1. Incredible set of resistances with 3 Nulls (Phys, Dark, Light) and no weakness allows you to tailor the rest of his transfer slots however you please.
Cons	No good physical attacks to exploit his innate Phys Pierce. Only Phys attack available to him is Myriad Arrows in Red which has random targeting and is thus not very reliable. Easily countered by outspeeding. This is a problem for last hour PVP, as Masakado A defenses will get relentlessly targetted by players looking to climb last minute.
Notes	Unable to be paired with Masakado
Mastema			3	2	3	5	3
Pros	Good Magic coupled with Trial of Hate's high base power makes him an incredible Light sweeper. The debuff is icing on the cake. Good set of resistances with 1 Null and 2 Reflects. Works well in Archangel Teams to provide more sweeping power. Laughs at his enemies occasionally
Cons	No innate pierce, requires Light Pierce (weak) to really shine. Weak to Fire. This is especially problematic in Brands of Sin: Sloth 11 and above, as the boss has innate Trisagion. Binding Cry, while a flavorful skill is unfortunately wasted on Mastema.
Notes	Easy 4x4 fusion paths and good panels make him a decent Panel 3 goal to strive toward.
Maya			3	3	3	1	1
Pros	Will virtually never have MP issues thanks to Glamorous Allure giving her a free Almighty AOE attack that has a chance of charm. Upon any allies being Muted, she will counter with Illusionary World, cleansing the Mute and retaliating with an Almighty AOE Sweep. This makes her ideal for punishing Daisoujou, whose team will take chip damage from Illusionary World every time his Preach is triggered. Innate Null Charm, Null Bind in purple and Illusionary World makes her virtually immune to skill-restricting ailments. Transferring a cleanse skill like Prayer will allow her to serve as the team's Cleric, while still being able to deal chip damage thanks to Glamorous Allure. High LUK and huge amount of built-in Ailment Infliction help her land Charm from Glamorous Allure reliably.
Cons	Fairly mediocre MAG and unimpressive Base Power on both skills hurt her damage potential. Very harshly countered by Five Elements on Defense, as the AI does not know how to pass and will lose press turns attacking into it.
Notes	-
Metatron			3	2	3	4	4
Pros	Good HP and Vit stats paired with great resistances gives him decent of bulk, especially with innate Enduring Soul in Clear. High Magic stat and Infinite Chakra lets him function well as a magic sweeper. Works well in an Archangel Team, as Fire of Sinai is great for cleaning up and breaking Endures. Gains discounted Mahamadyne in Red which is great for Brands of Sin Sloth 10 and 11 farming. Panel 3 amplifies all Magic damage.
Cons	Very difficult to fuse, only 1 recipe available. Full Almighty / non-Piercing kit means he is shut down hard by Five Elements. Low AGI stat penalizes him in the Archangels PVP strat.
Notes	-
Michael			3	1	1	2	5
Pros	Soul Judgement deals massive damage against single targets, ideal for Bosses and Democalypse. While he has pretty mediocre MAG stats, panels help to offset this by providing him a lot of damage. Yellow gives him access to discounted Mediarahan, allowing him to double as a healer. Very good set of resistances, especially in Teal.
Cons	Weak to Dark No innate Pierce and mediocre Stats High STR stat is wasted on a Mage. Random targeting is ill-suited for PVP.
Notes	-
Mot	Any		3	3	2	5	5
Pros	His high bulk pairs well with Harmonious Death which is strong in extended fights. Harmonious Death makes Mot a must-have in Democalypse Prelim teams. At Panel 3, he becomes perfect for Democalypse Boss teams. Has two strong AOE spells. Amazing set of panels that provide him MP reduction, Null Mortal and even more Press Turns.
Cons	Weak to Elec High MP costs
Notes	-
Motoko Kusanagi			3	4	4	4	1
Pros	She is essentially an entire ailment team neatly packaged into one demon. Not only does Ghost Hack remove Barriers, it also has a high chance of inflicting Bind and Mute, in addition to only costing 5 MP to cast. With Panel 2 unlocked, this further chains into a Tarukaja and Sukukaja buff. At the end of her turn, Optical Camouflage hits every demon suffering an ailment with a Piercing Phys AOE. This damage can be further ramped up by the discounted Charge she gains in Yellow. Due to how packed her kit is, she can easily be splashed into teams looking for some Ailment control, or in Defense teams to catch players randoming without sufficient Ailment protection. The chain from Panel 1 (Cover Fire) will give you an extra 0.1 Multiplier in Physical Democalypse Prelims. If using her there, consider running her Red for Vorpal Blade.
Cons	Her damage is fairly underwhelming due to a low STR stat and lack of any damage boosters in her kit. Hard-countered by Ailment immunity, most notably Daisoujou and Panelled Moirai Sisters like Atropos + Lachesis.
Notes	Yellow discounts Charge to 5 MP. With Divine Brands, she can cast both Ghost Hack and Charge on the same turn going first. This is not possible against Alice A without some MP support though. Limited-time Collaboration unit. Nobody knows if she will be rerun.
Mozgus			2	2	2	2	2
Pros	The only unit in the game that has a Critical Counter, God 1000 Fist Cannon will unleash a random barrage of piercing Physical attacks whenever the enemy scores a crit. Extremely high bulk and damage reduction from Bloody Scripture make him a powerful tank. Building him as a tank also increases God 1000 Fist Cannon and Muscle Punch damage, as they both depend on Phys DEF for damage. Earthquake in red furthers this synergy. Yellow gives him access to discounted War Cry, letting him play a support role if required.
Cons	God 1000 Fist Cannon has low base power. Does not have Pierce outside of God 1000 Fist Cannon. Needs a lot of Accuracy investment due to bad AGI. Weak to Fire
Notes	Limited-time Collaboration unit. Nobody knows if he will be rerun.
Mother Harlot	Any		2	5	5	1	1
Pros	Babylon Goblet drains MP from all enemies while providing her MP sustain, allowing her to loop the same attack over and over even without Divine Brands. With Panel 2 unlocked, she will additionally spread charm all over the enemy's team. Teal gives her Drain Phys, ideal for pairing with Rama. Notably, she is the only Drain Phys unit that can function as a magic sweeper. Innate Drain Elec also helps to soft-counter Atropos, as the second part of Passionate Rage will not proc if the first Elec part is Anti-Pierced. Has access to discounted Debilitate in Yellow, letting her play a more support role if needed. Works very well in a slow Ailment Team, or with Alice A in MP denial teams. Incredible set of Panels. With Panel 3 unlocked, she can keep enemies permanently charmed by reapplying Charm each turn.
Cons	Weak to Force Full Almighty kit means she is shut down hard by Five Elements. Low AGI and high MP costs makes her unsuitable for fast teams.
Notes	The MP drain aspect of Babylon Goblet is less useful for PVE, as the AI has infinite MP. It does allow you to replenish her MP indefinitely though.
Nebiros			4	4	4	1	1
Pros	Call of the Dead is the only revive skill in the game without a usage limit. This enables infinite revives especially if paired with healing support like Nadja. As Call of the Dead triggers at the end of the enemy turn, it lets you start your turn with full press turns, and proc any start of turn chain effects like Archangels. Hand of Glory provides AOE Curse + Luster Candy on ally death. The Curse is great setup for Alice A (and his own passive) while the buffs increase your likelihood of surviving the turn. Highest LUK in the game paired with innate Epitome of Madness makes him a great Dodge tank. Panel 2 grants Null Mortal which makes him even harder to kill.
Cons	Hard countered by Null Curse and revive sealing skills like Sword of Actuation. Panel 1 Clotho in particular is a very powerful counter, as she confers the whole team Null Curse. Weak to light and by extension the Archangels matchup. Teal fixes this somewhat but you lose Null Bind in return. Call of the Dead can be mitigated by a Cleric removing Curse before end of the turn.
Notes	-
Nergal			1	3	3	4	2
Pros	Plague of Babylon removes Barriers and has a very high chance of landing Weak status, making him incredible setup for Ailment Teams. High STR, Auto-Tarukaja and increased Accuracy from Meslamtaea make him a decent Physical demon, especially when Paneled. Auto-Rebellion on Poison boosts his damage and synergizes with Pale Rider.
Cons	Weak to Ice Ailments fall flat in late/endgame PvE because of inflated enemy stats Hard countered by Ailment Cleansers like Daisoujou or Kinmamon in PVP. AGI too low for Ailment Teams standards.
Notes	P3 Samael offers similar barrier break without consuming a Press Turn. This is vital versus double Intimidating Stance Teams, as Nergal consuming a Press Turn means you are left with a single Press for casting a true ailment. Compared to P3 Samael, Nergal gives your other demons more flexibility in choosing brands, as they can forego Ailment Infliction completely. Weigh the extra Press Turn versus stat flexibility carefully.
Nero☆	Any		3	3	2	5	3
Pros	Overture deals Piercing damage while giving him free Concentrate, letting him sweep hard. Voltage synergises perfectly with Overture and gives your party attack and accuracy/evasions buffs. Very good for Democalypse where he does not have to worry about MP issues and can repeatedly spam Concentrated Overtures while on Spell Brands for insane damage.
Cons	Hard countered by Anti-Pierce, as Overture will not autocast Concentrate (and by extension Voltage) if the attack hits into NDR. Mediocre stats, relies on Concentrate from Overture to deal damage. No ST skills if not in Red. High MP costs and no MP recovery prevent him from spamming his spells freely.
Notes	Limited-time Collaboration unit. Nobody knows if he will be rerun.
Norn			3	1	1	2	4
Pros	Moment of Fate procs Dekaja + Luster Candy on the boss wave. This is great for PVE content with Auto-Debilitate such as Brands of Sin Sloth 11 and 12 stages and certain Kiwami. High MAG Stat plus innate Merciless Blow makes her a great demon for Democalypse (provided you transfer an offensive skill). Recovery Amp and discounted Mediarahan let her function as a PVE Healer with a decent offensive presence.
Cons	Has no offensive skills despite possessing Merciless Blow. Heavily relies on transfers for an offensive presence or at least do more than heal. Not really better than Amaterasu and Barong as a PVE healer/support. Only obtainable through Democalypse grinding.
Notes	Will be very good in upcoming Dark/Light Alter World content. As the AI will not cast debuffs in Democalypse, Abaddon A still has an edge over her being able to provide both buffs and debuffs.
Orcus			3	4	4	1	1
Pros	One of the strongest support demons in the game. Law of Hell denies bonus turns when striking weakness, while Hell's Gate grants AOE damage reduction for each open weakness. This eliminates the need to cover weaknesses for all your demons, allowing them to inherit more valuable transfer skills like Epitome of Fortitude, Recarmdra, Auto-Tarunda etc. Very good buff control with War Cry and Nocturne in Yellow.
Cons	Hell's Gate damage reduction does not apply to single target attacks. Very MP Hungry. Divines help with MP costs but reduce his bulk. Needs specific team compositions to work well.
Notes	You still receive extra damage from open weaknesses. Due to the way Law of Hell is coded, it will also deny bonus turns gained from a Crit if the attacked demon has a Physical weakness. This ironically makes Slime a great partner for him, as Slime has six open weaknesses including Phys.
Pale Rider			1	3	3	4	2
Pros	Very good in an Ailment Team, as Pestilence will kill any enemy after 2 turns, no questions asked. Perfect synergy with a set-up based sweeper Nergal. Nergal helps to remove any barriers and ensures Plague's poison can land via Weak, which in turn triggers his own Meslamtaea passive. Gains the strongest debuff Debilitate in Yellow, letting him double as a debuffer.
Cons	Weak to Elec Ailments generally fall flat in late/endgame PvE because of inflated enemy stats Hard countered by Ailment Cleansers like Daisoujou or Kinmamon in PVP. Pestilence only kicks in at the end of enemy's turn, giving them one whole turn to cleanse it away or just outright kill him. Requires a specific team built around him to really work. Panels 1 and 2 don't contribute to the Ailment build.
Notes	-
Quetzalcoatl	Any		2	2	2	4	1
Pros	Usually run as a support demon. Ce Acatls' Return is an incredible ressurection spell that brings all fallen party members back to life. Repel Phys in Teal pairs well with Alilat or Atavaka as an Anti-Pierce unit. Has 2 strong AOE spells, 3 if in Red.
Cons	High MP costs Weak to Dark Low Magic stat wastes his AOE potential, despite having good spells and panels.
Notes	-
Quetzalcoatl A			4	5	5	5	3
Pros	Has full Fire Pierce and Fire Amp by default, plus Butcher in Purple. This makes him a deadly Fire Sweeper for both Fire Democalypse and PVP. Aztec Pulse costs only 5 MP when maxed and does massive damage when combined with his other passives. The low MP cost also means you can spam it with Divine Brands going first, regardless if Alice A is present or not. Ce Acatl grants him a free revive once per battle, while refunding the press turn lost from his death. This makes him a great counter for Fast T1 Teams on offense, as anything short of a full team wipe will result in him coming back to life and reverse-sweeping with double Aztec Pulses. Pairs well with Rama has he has Drain Fire by default. This is especially useful versus Herald team comps to counter Uriel's Sunrise. Red gives him access to discounted Trisagion, useful versus Fire Anti-Pierce.
Cons	Weak to Dark. Purple has troubles versus Fire Anti-Pierce comps like Atavaka-Vairocana and Rama-Surt. Hard-countered by Revive Sealing units like Skull Knight.
Notes	As press turn count is determined at the start of the round, Ce Acatl press turn generation only cancels out the lost press turn from his death. Ironically, he also pairs well with his mortal nemesis Skull Knight on defense, as Aztec Pulse will soften up everyone allowing Sword of Actuation to kill anyone his AI desires. Ce Acatl triggers after Passionate Rage. This allows him to dodge the AOE Chains and abuse any extra Press Turns now available to him.
Rama	Any		4	4	4	3	3
Pros	One of only three demons that can negate pierce. While alive, Drain Pierce will prevent pierce skills from going through Drain resistances and is the cornerstone of the Drain Teams archetype. Brahmastra is a three-hit Almighty skill that functions as an Endure-breaker. Good base stats and no weaknesses allow him to fulfill a variety of roles, be it support or sweeper. Yellow Rama can function as a good support demon with discounted Luster Candy whereas Purple gives him Ice Pierce which lets him sweep with Mabufudyne.
Cons	Not very bulky Drain Pierce does nothing versus Almighty.
Notes	Teal gives him Drain Ice which pairs well with Drain Pierce and can be used to cheese certain difficult PvE content like Hell's Park Floor 100 and Celestial Gui Xian.
Raphael			3	3	3	2	5
Pros	Tailwind does massive damage against single targets, ideal for Bosses or cleaning up in PVP. Works well in an Archangel Team.
Cons	God's Blessing does not deal damage, unlike Uriel and Gabriel. Needs team built around him. Weak to Dark
Notes	God's Blessing pairs well with Lakshmi A, as the heal with trigger Diwali and restore MP to your team. This allows you to circumvent Alice A's MP drain, which would otherwise stop Archangel teams in their tracks.
Red Rider			2	3	3	2	1
Pros	Good Str, decent Agi and Luck means he will hit hard without much Accuracy issues. Blade of Terror deals consistent Fractional damage based on enemies current HP, unaffected by buffs. It will also bypass the accuracy check since it is a fractional skill. Blade of Terror has high AOE Bind chance when maxed, and can be used Turn 1 due to it's low MP cost.
Cons	Blade of Terror falls off later in the fight as it is based on Current HP (and is capped against late game targets in PVE). No innate Pierce means Panel 2 or a Phys Pierce (weak) transfer is mandatory. Weak to Ice
Notes	Buffs and damage boosts only work on Bloodshed's Physical damage and not Blade of Terror's Fractional damage. His AI will blindly Blade of Terror into Tetrakarn without taking into account the Bloodshed follow up. This can get him easily killed if he does not have some form of Phys Pierce!
Samael			2	4	4	1	1
Pros	Panel 3 is insanely powerful, providing free Barrier Break and Makara Break at the start of turn without consuming Press Turns. God's Malice is very good to lock down a single target with multiple Ailments. Infinite Chakra helps to reduce MP requirements, allowing him to spam God's Malice. Mana Aid is a great transfer skill.
Cons	Weak to Elec Countered very hard by Daisoujou clearing his ailments and punishing him for using Charm. Middling AGI hurts battle speed for fast Ailment teams.
Notes	Great set of Panels that provide additional Ailment Infliction, reduce MP costs and the aforementioned breaks. Easy 4x4 fusion paths make him a good P3 goal to strive toward. Compared to Nergal, Panel 3 Samael gives you better Press Turn efficiency, but in return all your other demons will require some degree of Ailment Infliction from brands or transfers. Weigh the extra Press Turn versus stat flexibility carefully. Panel 3 pairs well with Alice A and Nebiros teams, allowing them to land Curse without worrying about Barriers. He also negates Xi Wangmu's Panel 2, as he will continuously break her recasted Barriers each turn.
Schierke	Any	Any	3	1	1	4	2
Pros	Summon Elementals debuffs a fixed stat depending on Element. The Rakunda effect from Fire Elemental Summon makes her particularly good for Fire Democalypse. Access to three elements and innate Mana Aid makes her a useful PvE and Democalypse sweeper.
Cons	You are at the AI's Mercy on which Element gets casted. Summon Elementals is only useable once every two turns. Both her skills have levels, making her a very costly investment Kasane-wise. No pierce on Elemental Magic.
Notes	-
Seraph			3	1	1	2	5
Pros	Very high Magic stat, combined with Garden of Eden and Merciless Blow lets him hit weaknesses hard. Innate Trisagion and Thunderclap deal massive damage when targeting weakness. Garden of Eden provides a teamwide boost to damage on hitting weakness, making him perfect for Democalypse. Panels give him and his teammates even more damage. Can be used in an Archangel team if banking solely on Uriel and Gabriel's passives.
Cons	Only obtainable through Democalypse grinding. High MP costs make him unsuitable for anything outside Democalypse. Weak to Ice
Notes	-
Seth			3	2	2	2	4
Pros	Ouas is a very powerful ST nuke that has a high crit rate and a strong heal. Extremely high STR and LUK means he will hit hard and crit often. Teal covers his weakness while Clear gives him an AOE skill in Titanomachia. Yellow gives him Nocturne which allows him to play a more support-oriented role, especially with innate Debilitate. Good set of panels that provide him damage, bulk and MP reduction.
Cons	Lacks Phys Pierce, reducing his viability in certain areas which require it. Weak to Fire Extremely low MAG means Zandyne is a wasted slot. As nothing in his kit boosts Phys damage, damage booster transfers are mandatory.
Notes	-
Shiva			4	3	3	5	3
Pros	High STR, AGI and LUK paired with innate Serial Killer and Vorpal Blade make him an effective Physical Sweeper. Good candidate for the Hell Gongen team as patches out his biggest weakness - lack of Phys Pierce. Great set of Panels especially Panel 3 which provides insane MP-cost reduction. Has three sets of Drain resistances and no weakness if in Teal, making him an ideal teammate for Rama.
Cons	Pralaya has a high MP cost and is blocked by Five Elements. No innate Pierce Very expensive to fuse. Weak to Ice
Notes	-
Shiva A			4	5	5	3	1
Pros	Third Eye is fully unblockable and will go through any elemental NDRs and barriers like Five Elements. It is also treated as a physical attack and as such can Crit. Ishvara provides auto-Rebellion and passively boosts his accuracy and crit chance. Insane set of panels that give him everything he needs (accuracy, better ST and reduced MP cost). Incredible Elemental resistances especially in Teal. All these Elemental Drains make him an excellent partner for Rama - Drain Elec in particular allows him to soft-counter Passionate Rage.
Cons	Hard to further boost Third Eye's damage as Almighty has no innate Boost/Amp. Weak to Force Very MP Hungry and prone to MP denial teams like Alice A.
Notes	Can be run in Hero Masakado T1 Teams for a devastating First Turn Kill.
Siegfried			3	3	3	4	4
Pros	Arms Mastery passively boosts his damage and accuracy, letting him sweep hard with discounted Titanomachia in Red. Innate Drain Phys makes him a decent candidate for Drain Teams. Incredible set of panels that provide him further damage reduction, Phys Pierce and MP reduction. The Phys Reduction from Panel 1 in particular makes him very useful for Alter World Phys.
Cons	High investment - He requires Panels, good transfers and a proper team built around him to really shine. Mediocre AGI and LUK stats.
Notes	Arms Mastery can be stacked with Phys Amp and Epitome of Carnage to skyrocket his Phys damage. Panel 3 Siegfried is a very good candidate for Hero Masakado T1 Teams, as he can fire off a devastating Titanomachia Turn 1 even against Alice A comps.
Skull Knight			3	5	5	2	1
Pros	Demons die when they are killed by Sword of Actuation, unable to be revived. This lets him counter Nebiros, Xi Wangmu and Clotho revive strats, making him an exceptional Anti-Meta unit. Sword of Actuation has a ridiculously low MP cost at max level (5 MP) - Even without Panels it can be cast Turn 1 with War Brands. Panel 2 further reduces it to 4 MP, allowing it to be cast regardless of brands or matchup. Foe of Demons defensively buffs your team at the start of your opponent's turn, increasing your odds of surviving. Repel Phys in Teal makes him a good partner for Alilat and Atavaka.
Cons	Difficult to boost Sword of Actuation further due to it being Almighty Phys. Requires a good team setup around him to truly shine. Middling AGI makes him slightly awkward to fit in fast or slow teams.
Notes	Has AI issues when used on defense - AI will occasionally target demons with high HP instead of trying to finish off demons with Sword of Actuation. This can be circumvented by pairing him with sweepers like Hecate or Atavaka to soften everyone up, ensuring Sword of Actuation will kill whoever his AI targets. Auto-Rebellion also supposedly fixes this issue. Limited-time Collaboration unit. Nobody knows if he will be rerun.
Surt			3	3	3	2	5
Pros	Low AGI, innate Tetra Shift and Intimidating Stance in Clear making him a great candidate for slow Intimidating Stance Teams. Ragnarok hits like a truck and refunds MP if maxed, allowing him to spam it repeatedly. Purple provides Fire Pierce if preferred for PVE.
Cons	Weak to Ice No innate Fire Pierce if Clear.
Notes	Divine brands are recommended if using him for PVP Defense. Otherwise, his AI will Ragnarok once and then default to spamming Berserker God every other turn, wasting all his damage potential.
Susano-o			3	2	2	1	5
Pros	Very powerful Force nuker. Kusanagi hits extremely hard and autocasts Tarukaja to further buff your team's attack. As Kusanagi is treated as a spell, it bypasses any accuracy checks letting him land it reliably. Both Kusanagi and Mortal Jihad scale from Phys Attack, allowing him cover two elements decently (albeit without pierce).
Cons	No innate pierce. Weak to Fire
Notes	Easy 4x4 fusion paths and good panels make him a decent P3 goal to strive toward.
Susano-o A			3	3	4	2	5
Pros	Innate Epitome of Carnage and Master Assassin in purple makes him a terrific Phys powerhouse, especially considering Violent Slash's high Base Power and Crit. Heavenly Valor punishes enemies who pass when used in PVP Defense teams. Nulls Phys and Drains Force innately. Gains Drain Phys in Teal which goes well with Rama as Phys Anti-Pierce.
Cons	No added Accuracy in his kit. Requires extra Accuracy investment from Brands, Panels or skill transfer to hit reliably. Weak to Fire Heavenly Valor can be countered, and misses will trigger passives like Andalucia and Brilliant Wings.
Notes	Xi Wangmu is a very oppressive partner for him as her passive helps to keep him (and by extension, Heavenly Valor) alive. She also allows him to forgo bulk stats entirely to focus on damage and accuracy. Heavenly Valor has lower base accuracy compared to typical Physical AOEs.
Thor			3	2	2	2	5
Pros	Mjolnir deals massive damage against single targets, ideal for Bosses and Democalypse. Panels grant him a lot of damage, making him an ideal Elec mage especially with Elec Pierce in Purple.
Cons	Weak to Force High STR is wasted on him as an Elec Mage. Megaton Raid and Charge are wasted slots. Random targetting is very hard to use for PVP.
Notes	AI is extremely bad on Auto, as Charge will mess him up.
Tokisada			4	3	3	2	5
Pros	Flag of Salvation boosts your entire team's light damage, making him useful for Brands of Sin: Sloth 11 and Light Democalypse. It also passively restores 1 MP to your whole party when clearing a wave. Amakusa Uprising deals heavy single target damage and can crit. Combined with innate Death Blow and Light Amp in purple, this makes him a very strong Light nuker, especially with Panel 2 unlocked. It also provides your team Tarukaja and Sukukaja buffs, allowing your following demons to hit harder. Great set of Transferable skills being one of the only two sources of Death Blow and the only source of Auto-Rebellion.
Cons	Requires Panel 2 to unlock his full potential for PVP, as being able to guarantee crits for extra turns is very powerful. Only has pierce through Amakusa Uprising, no Piercing AOE. Needs accuracy investment for PVP, as Amakusa Uprising can miss.
Notes	Light is a very good element in the current Meta, as several popular demons usually do not have it covered (Alice A, Nebiros and Hecate to name a few). The additional MP from Flag of Salvation allows your other demons to drop Divine Brands and/or Mana Aid in favor for more offensive brands and passives. Red gives is discounted Mahamadyne. Note that having this unlocked might mess up your Brands of Sin: Sloth 11 runs, as the AI will prioritize it over Amakusa Uprising.
Trumpeter	Any		2	2	2	1	1
Pros	Apocalypse deals heavy Almighty AOE damage while having a high mute chance for a low MP cost. Access to Concentrate to further increase his damage. No weaknesses and 2 Nulls give him a lot of flexibility in skill transfers.
Cons	Very high MP costs. Difficult to further boost Apocalypse damage. Hard countered by Five Elements, plus stiff competition from other Almighty sweepers like Mother Harlot.
Notes	-
Tzitzimitl	Any		2	3	2	1	1
Pros	Demons die when they are killed by Dark Premonition, unable to be revived. Revive seal is very useful in certain PVE content (like several AG2 bosses) and to counter Nebiros and Xi Wangmu revive strats in PVP. High innate dodge rate which compliments the Mute from Dark Premonition. Red gains discounted Mind Blast, which can be used to further disable enemies. Purple gains Enduring Soul to bolster her survivability.
Cons	Needs to be below 50% HP to unlock most of her kit, making her a glass cannon. Dark Premonition only has mediocre base damage, and can be stopped by Dark Anti-Pierce such as Rama + Masakado. Mediocre stats. Ailments fall flat in late PvE because of inflated enemy stats. Weak to Light
Notes	Tzitzimitl bears special mention as a hard-counter to Moirai Sisters, especially for target/revenging. If she can survive Passionate Rage (not hard if you run Purple), she will gain immediate access to Disastrous Eclipse and Star of Darkness, letting her fire off hard-hitting AOE Revive Seals. Pair her with Tlaltecuhtli and fodder demons sporting Auto-Rakunda and Auto-Taruka to get an immediate buff swing.
Uriel			4	4	4	4	5
Pros	One of the core demons in the Archangels archetype. When combined with two other Herald or Divine demons, God's Fire dishes out massive damage even before battle really begins. God's Fire gives your party a Tarukaja attack buff, and at Panel 2 even adds in a Rakunda debuff, swinging offensive buffs to your favor. Chain effects do not consume press turns even when hitting NDR.
Cons	Needs Team built around him Chain effects kills demons before they have a chance to talk, making him less useful for Aura Gate. Weak to Dark
Notes	Reflected God's Fire will damage him because of innate pierce. Beware of Alilat and Atavaka. Requires additional MP Support when going against Alice A teams.
Vairocana			3	4	4	3	1
Pros	Radiant Mantra constantly resets all buffs and debuffs at the start of enemy turn. When used in a slow team, this allows him to nullify auto-skills, giving your team more flexibility in skill transfer. Good repel resistances makes him a natural partner for Alilat and Atavaka. Fire and Light repel is especially useful to counter Archangel teams, as it makes him immune to both their AOE elements. High MAG and Butcher in purple allows him to function as a strong almighty sweeper. In addition to dealing respectable almighty damage, Path of Prominence also applies a mini Luster Candy buff, extending his role as a buff control specialist. Yellow gives him access to discounted Mediarahan, allowing him to function as a decent PVE Healer.
Cons	Very hard to further boost his damage. Despite wanting to go second to fully abuse Radiant Mantra, his AGI is on the high side. Very high MP costs. Even with maxed Path of Prominence and Divine Brands, he won't be able to spam it consistently unless Panel 2 is also unlocked. Full Almighty / non-Piercing kit means he is shut down hard by Five Elements.
Notes	Radiant Mantra is very useful for certain PVE content to remove Fast Luster Candy and Fast Debilitate. Good synergy with Skull Knight - Radiant Mantra will purge away all debuffs, allowing Foe of Demons to guarantee a Sukukaja and Rakukaja buff.
Vasuki			2	2	2	2	5
Pros	Innate Ice Boost and Butcher in Purple make him a powerful Ice Mage. Halahala deals massive damage against single targets, ideal for Bosses and Democalypse. P3 autocasts Rakunda, which is invaluable in Democalypse boss phases where buffs are hard to come by.
Cons	Poison (and by extension Insanity) does literally nothing for his Ice builds. Lacks of pierce and being limited to only random targetting makes him very bad for PVP. Weak to Fire
Notes	-
Vishnu			2	3	2	1	2
Pros	Good bulk make him a tanky Mage thanks to Avatar. Gains discounted Megidolaon in Red. Healing and MP reduction from Panels further his tanky Mage role. Low AGI makes him ideal for budget slow teams.
Cons	Weak to Fire Low damage output compared to Top Tier demons. Needs heavy investment in Brands and Panels to be usable in PVP.
Notes	Low AGI forces him into slow teams, but slow teams prefer very high damage demons (even if their MP cost is high) rather than demons able to spam low MP-cost low damage attacks.
V☆	Any		2	4	4	1	1
Pros	Griffon-Bolt is borderline oppressive when combined with Turn 1 teams with lots of Crit passing for Press Turn generation. Good teammates include Masakado A, Asura Lord and Kartikeya. Will virtually never have MP issues thanks to Shadow-Shock giving him a free Almighty ST attack. Balanced stats and no weaknesses give him flexibility in transfer skills. Red and Yellow give him an Almighty AOE skill that debuffs. Laughs at his enemies occasionally
Cons	Very harshly countered by Five Elements on Defense, as the AI does not know how to pass and will lose press turns attacking into it. Relies on auto-attacks, does not contribute much if his teammates are spamming skills instead. Demons with AOE reduction passives like Hecatoncheires and Orcus significantly reduces his damage.
Notes	Limited-time Collaboration unit. Nobody knows if he will be rerun.
Xi Wangmu	Any		3	5	5	1	1
Pros	Peach of Immortality gives all your demons two extra lives. This is especially powerful if coupled with naturally tanky demons like Hecate and Guan Yu, or demons with on-death effects such as Ixtab and Nadja. Goddess' Fan removes all buffs from the opponent and fully debuffs them, swinging buff advantage in your favor. Above average bulk and Null Mortal in purple allows her to survive most onslaughts and resurrect her fallen teammates. Decent PVE Healer with innate Mediarama.
Cons	Hard countered by revive sealing skills such as Sword of Actuation. Peach of Immortality can be blocked via Bind. Null Bind is recommended to remedy this. If multiple demons are killed at once through the same AOE, Peach of Immortality will only trigger once. This slightly disadvantages her in regards to AOE sweeping.
Notes	Demons are immediately raised by Peach of Immortality upon death. This can be a disadvantage against Hyper Offensive comps, who can simply kill said demon again in the same turn.
Yama			3	3	3	4	4
Pros	Very powerful Dark Mage. Guilty passively increases his dark damage while dealing bonus damage at the start of a boss wave. Only true Dark Pierce demon in Purple. Enma's Judgement provides team-wide Null Mortal and Rakukaja, which can be very powerful in PVP depending on tier. Trivializes Brands of Sin Vanity 11, works well for Aura Gate.
Cons	Guilty only works on Boss wave, rendering it useless for PVP and most of PVE. No AOE spell unless Red (which then loses Dark Pierce).
Notes	-
Yoshitsune			5	2	2	4	5
Pros	Widely considered the best demon for PVE as he has access to an AOE in Vorpal Blade, a boss-killing skill in Hassou Tobi, MP refresh in Mana Aid and a damage booster in Phys Amp. Innate Mana Aid lets him repeatedly spam Vorpal Blade or Hassou Tobi in PVE. Hassou Tobi does massive damage against lone targets, making it ideal against bosses and Democalypse. Teal can be used to cheese certain PvE Content. Excellent set of panels that grant him Accuracy, more MP and more damage.
Cons	Only native pierce on Hassou Tobi. Random Targetting on Hassou Tobi makes it bad against Waves and in PvP. Will have MP issues if Panel 2 is not unlocked.
Notes	-
Zaou-Gongen			5	4	4	4	5
Pros	Kongo Zaou is a powerful passive that grants Phys Pierce to all your demons under Rebellion. Hell Gongen is a team archetype based specifically around this ability. Panel 3 grants team-wide rebellion whenever he crits. This is very powerful for Physical-based Hero Masakado T1 teams, as it cranks up their damage to insane levels and guarantees virtually infinite crits. Red gives him a cheap AOE attack in Herculean Strike. While not common, he can work as a Fire Mage as he has passable Magic and Fire Amp in Purple. Great set of Panels that provide additional damage, accuracy and team-wide Rebellion.
Cons	Weak to Elec Middling AGI affects his Accuracy and Speed. Missing can be disastrous for a Masakado A team, as they aim to win on the very first turn.
Notes	Auto-Rebellion is a very powerful transfer skill for him, as it will guarantee he can start the crit loop.

Abaddon			1	1	1	1	1
Pros	Null Phys in teal is handy for early-mid game. Good STR/VIT
Cons	Doesn't carve himself any niches that others don't do better. Maragion serves little use on him due to low MAG stat. Low AGI
Notes	-
Abaddon A			4	1	1	1	5
Pros	Lord of the Abyss's auto-debuffs make him a staple demon for all elements of Democalypse (Boss phase). It is also designed to hard-counter Brands of Sin: Deceit 11. Repel Phys in Teal and innate Repel Fire are great paired with Alilat High VIT so he can make use of Muscle Punch
Cons	His PVP role is as Anti-Phys unit when paired with Alilat or Atavaka. But he is outclass by other Repel Phys demons. Drags speed down greatly due to low AGI which is bad in PVE. Not good for waves before boss.
Notes	In general good against bosses notably Aura Gate because bosses don't have waves. Be very mindful of battlespeed when using him for Democalypse bosses! If you are outsped by the Boss, it will cause you to lose one whole round of Debilitate, as it ticks down at the end of the Boss' turn!
Agni			3	2	2	5	4
Pros	Auto-Rakunda in Purple or Fog Breath in Yellow. Excellent in all non-Phys Boss Democalypse due to Ignite Def auto-debuff. Excellent Panel 3 (Fire Pierce (weak) on crack).
Cons	Panel 3 is very hard to get as he is Banner exclusive and aiming for P3 isn't necessarily the best choice because dupe Agni serve well in Democalypse. Does not have a noticeable damage output kit even Paneled. Not much better than more common 4-star for PVE.
Notes	Middling AGI: unfit for Fast or Intimidating Stance Teams. Fire/Dark are his best elements in Democalypse] due to the waves having Rakukaja.
Anubis			3	2	2	5	5
Pros	High MAG stat of 217 makes him a good budget mage even for elements other than dark. A budget choice for any non-Phys Democalypse due to Merciless Blow in Purple.
Cons	Low AGI + Low VIT isn't a good combination for survivability. His downfall mid-game outside of Democalypse. Doesn't benefit much from his high LUK stat. No innate AOE and is not the best single target damage dealer either.
Notes
Anzu			2	2	2	5	3
Pros	Decent AGI. 5MP double debuff in Yellow. (also innately has another double debuff) Excellent demon for Elec Democalypse.
Cons	Force weakness. Low VIT. Underwhelming outside of Democalypse
Notes	Unless you want to use him outside Democalypse just use him in purple for Elec Boost. Thunder of Destiny is the reason for his excellency in Elec Democalypse due to getting a free weakness/damage multiplier at the beginning of 2nd turn.
Attis			2	2	2	1	2
Pros	Innate Enduring Soul and Recarmdra which are good support skills that synergyze well. No weakness. The result is he has 2 completely free transfer slot. Okayish innate bulk in P3.
Cons	Doesn't have many other uses. Can't make much use of unique skill Mist Slashes despite having decent power behind it's also random target...
Notes	The skills you will transfer to him determine what other supporting role he'll have in addition to "reviver".
Azrael			2	1	1	1	4
Pros	Has access to both Tetrakarn/Makarakarn in Clear, which can serves a niche in Early PvE when you don't have access to many mirrors. Respectable MAG of 194. Decent bulk for a mage and panels support it.
Cons	Has no innate skills to boost his good mag stat. He loses his niche of double karns in late PvE and PvP due to the prevalence of Pierce.
Notes	Outclassed in Democalypse as a Fire/Dark attacker but still good with investment.
Beelzebub			3	2	2	5	2
Pros	Has high survivability due to Gluttony, which deals good aoe damage and heals himself. Suitable option for Dark Democalypse and Brands of Sin No weaknesses. Synergy with Lucifuge in Yellow.
Cons	Suffers the same issues that Black Frost has in PvP that being Rama + Masakado and Atavaka + Hecate Stats are subpar even with panels other than MAG. Gluttony can't be used T1 in PvP. Requires P3 for Dark Pierce.
Notes	Beelzebub and Black Frost are comparable when it comes to dark damage but Beelzebub at full potential does the most overrall, which requires Panel 1, 2 and Lv 5 Gluttony
Beiji-Weng			2	2	2	5	3
Pros	Surprisingly fast despite being a dude encased in ice, making him a decent choice in speed teams especially with panels. Good MAG stat and serves as an ice mage. Is a good demon for Ice Democalypse in Red due to low amount of good ice users. Can exploit the plentiful amount of demons with an ice weakness. One of the few Repel Ice demons (in Teal) as well as the cheapest one making him quite useful combined with Alilat against specific PvE content especially Bosses.
Cons	Struggles against bulkier demons like Hecatoncheires and HP sponges in PvE. Glacial Blast is a redundant skill that serves him little. No Pierce meaning walled against demons that N/D/R Ice and Judgement isn't a reliable choice against them even at 7 MP.
Notes	While not exactly optimal in PvP, he does have access to Null Curse so he has decent potential when targeting specific teams.
Bishamonten			1	1	1	1	1
Pros	High STR/VIT Access to single target/aoe physical skills.
Cons	Low MAG stat meaning Bufudyne is a wasted skill on him Doesn't perform any roles that others can't already including other 4*s such as Wu Kong
Notes	-
Cerberus			3	1	1	1	2
Pros	Hell Claw is a strong unique Versatile demon that can provide multiple roles early-mid pve as support with debuffs/buffs, Physical attacker or even provide some mage coverage. Works ok on boss wave of physical Democalypse if you're lacking demons for it.
Cons	Falls off hard late game due to his jack of trade nature. Jack of all trades but only has average stats. Not much use late game or in PvP.
Notes	-
Chernobog			2	3	3	2	2
Pros	Ailment chain effect inflicting poison and bind if P3. Perfect synergy with Nergal. Decent physical attacker with Dark Sword in Red and innate Hades Blast
Cons	Somewhat low AGI: this is bad for Ailment Team Strongly needs Nergal to have some viability in PVP. ...but Nergal himself isn't necessarily the best demon for an Ailment Team.
Notes	Needs P3 to be viable in PVP otherwise his usefulness is near none.
Dantalian			2	2	2	1	2
Pros	Overall decent stats and High MAG/VIT stat. Functions as tanky mage with supporting skills. 3 resists and 1 null.
Cons	Two weaknesses hurts their viability for the most part. Doesn't have much niche other than being a tanky mage. MP expensive skills
Notes	-
Dionysus			1	3	3	1	1
Pros	Very high luck stat meaning he inflicts ailments often and doesn't take crits as often. Panels that benefit from his luck such as crit resist/ailment infliction Has some potential in stall teams
Cons	Has no attacking skill despite innate back attack Only can be clear Only can cause status from Euphoric Frenzy, which only activates when hit physically. Meaning you have to transfer an ailment skill and else he is a dead weight with no skill to use in battle.
Notes	He doesn't have to be used just to use ailments as he can be used as a surprise ailment counter due to LUK/innate Infernal Mask, this would require a Prayer transfer though and min ailment chance exists.
Fenrir			4	3	3	3	1
Pros	Budget speedster in Purple and a high AGI stat to take advantage of this. Innate Auto-Taruka gives him a niche over another budget Speedster Sleipnir. Versatile enough to allow him to support or be offensive.
Cons	Low offensives stats that are only borderline usable late in the game without high investment. General low stats outside of AGI. Two weaknesses is a nuisance if you can't beat the opposition in a single turn.
Notes	He may not be as good as Garuda or Hresvelgr but his staying power as a effective Speedster lasts for some time nor does he need a Speedster transfer. He is also a LOT cheaper to fuse than the other two.
Ganesha			1	3	3	1	2
Pros	His unique passive Faith in Wealth is an anti-Intimidating Stance team that gives 1 MP per turn lost. High STR/VIT
Cons	Outclassed by Parvati and pairing them both up is overkill. His unique isn't helpful most of PvE. Low AGI doesn't help either for his role. He's passive in most teams, he's in due to lack of pierce. Two weaknesses.
Notes	He's only outclassed by Parvati. Not necessarily worse, he just doesn't offer as much as her like Auto-Sukuka.
Girimekhala			2	2	1	2	2
Pros	High STR stat Mega Boost is Charge and Rebellion in one allowing him to hit hard the next turn after it's use. Access to a single target and aoe physical skill. One of the few demons with repel phys.
Cons	3 Weaknesses. Low stats outside of STR. Outclassed by other physical demons of his rarity even with Mega Boost
Notes	His panel 2 gives him a rare -25% to physical damage, which only two 5* have access to Siegfried and Gogmagog.
Gucumatz			3	2	2	1	1
Pros	Fairly bulky with his given stats/panels. Low AGI stat but is low enough that it's actually good for slow teams. Has a rare skill in the form of Auto-Tarunda Excellent panels
Cons	Two awful innate attacks making him very passive in PvE and PvP. This diminishes his support role. Fire Weakness.
Notes	-
Gurr			2	3	3	2	2
Pros	He is a very high AGI demon with Speedster. In PVE, having one of those (high AGI with Speedster) in the team is near mandatory. Yaksha Claw a passive quick effect that can inflict Bind: ailment passive quick effects are extremely precious for Ailment Team. This passive pairs perfectly with Pale Rider one of the strongest ailment demon of the game.
Cons	2 weaknesses Phys weakness is extremely disavantageous. Yaksha Claw is random target instead of AOE.
Notes	Yaksha Claw cannot bind if it gets Nulled, Repeled or Drained. It makes the use of Phys Pierce (weak) mandatory for a PVP build. Isn't the best Speedster in PvE due to his Phys weakness... But Hresvelgr has Phys Weakness. The difference is Hresvelgr actually does decent damage.
Hanuman			2	2	2	3	2
Pros	High STR Hits hard with Vorpal Blade. Can work for Autoing Brands of Sin stages
Cons	Lacks a single target physical skill Bad awakening skills even the rare Repel Force is nigh useless. Middling AGI and frail. Low MAG stat yet has Mazanma Outclassed by a better Monkey, Wu Kong
Notes	-
Halloween Jack			3	2	2	2	1
Pros	MahaLatine is a multi-hit version of Maragion, which is appreciated due to fact it helps get passed Endure and it's variants. Good MAG stat. Decent choice for fire Democalypse Great option for floors 21-30 of AG2. Innate drain fire
Cons	Event only Needs Fire Pierce (weak) to be of much use in PvP. Middling Agi
Notes	Not likely to get 4* panels in the future.
Hecatoncheires			2	3	3	2	1
Pros	High STR/VIT/STR Pairs well with slow teams due to having the lowest AGI in the game. One of the best users of Recarmdra Guards of Tartarus is a great supporting passive that lowers aoe damage by 15% while he's alive. Has access to Auto-Rakuka and Drain Phys two excellent skills.
Cons	Needs some accuracy investment on defense to avoid consistent misses plus has to deal with the abundant N/D/R physical. Two weaknesses Very passive demon that doesn't do much in the way of damage or even support on his turns. Is only niche for PvE.
Notes	Getting powercrept by better support demons... And his panels did nothing of note. Can be used as a ailmenter
Hel			2	2	2	3	3
Pros	High MAG stat and serves as an ice mage: both an uncommon and good element as many are weak to it but few Repel/Drain/Null it. Making her a good candidate for Ice Democalypse Call to Helheim is pretty decent passive in PvE as opportunities to debuff every wave aren't common.
Cons	Mamudo does little to benefit her and has no pierce. Call to Helheim isn't great for PvP due to the typically fast pace nature of it. She has to kill for Call to Helheim to activate. Frail and has middling speed.
Notes	Not worth considering for PvP use unless Panel 3.
Hell Biker			4	3	3	1	1
Pros	Makes up one the best PvE teams in the game Hell Gongen. His role is to cast Red Zone granting might to all; a guaranteed crit to all. The state of might paired with Zaou-Gongen allows all physical attacks to pierce even those without it. Innate speedster and top tier AGI 229. Panel 3 makes Red Zone cost 5 MP.
Cons	He only has average attacking stats. Maragion isn't a great skill on him. Only benefits physical demons.
Notes	Isn't nearly as good without Zaou-Gongen.
Helper Frost			2	2	2	2	1
Pros	MahaFrosty is a multi-hit version of Mabufula, which is appreciated due to fact it helps get passed Endure and it's variants. Good for Ice Democalypse especially due to limited options for it.
Cons	Low Agi and only passable MAG stat Needs Ice Pierce (weak) to be of much use in PvP.
Notes	Unlikely to get 4* panels in the future. Event Only Arguably worse than 1* Jack Frost since he doesn't have Tag, a niche of his 1* self.
Jeanne d'Arc			3	3	1	1	1
Pros	One of better 4* support demons Orlean Prayer can be used to give 3 MP to a demon: in PVP, this can allow some demons to unleash spells they couldn't have T1. Panel 3 gives Orlean Prayer a 1 turn Tarukaja/Sukukaja, which is fairly useful. Has a good AGI. Perfect for this strategy. Infinite use Orlean Prayer.
Cons	Healing is not very powerful in this game. Despite how good Orlean Prayer in P3 is, PVP is too fast and each turn press are too precious for such strategy to be good in general usage. The AI won't perform such T1 strategy.
Notes	Weak to Fire lol
Jikokuten			2	2	2	1	1
Pros	Only demon with the ability Suppress Stance Drain Can serve a niche early on with his ability especially against bosses in PvE.
Cons	Average stats and two aoes Has no drains to take advantage of his unique and drains are fairly rare His ability is too situational to reliably use in PvP even with Rama Depressing panels
Notes	-
Kama			1	1	1	1	1
Pros	Very high AGI and innate Speedster allow him to play the role of Battle Speed booster. A high damage unique in the form of Divine Bows' Allure with a chance of charming. Speedster is transferable: he is THE Speedster fodder.
Cons	A pathetic MAG stat making his unique very weak. Doesn't do anything except boosting Battle Speed. Outclassed as Battle Speed booster by most 210+ AGI demons.
Notes	Just use Fenrir lol and use Kama as Speedster fodder.
Kikuri-Hime			2	1	1	3	2
Pros	Has Tetraka Shift in Purple. Decent MAG. While far from the best using her in Fire Democalypse isn't a bad idea.
Cons	Bad AGI. Low VIT. Awkward skills 2 weaknesses. Dark weakness is particularly bad in PVP.
Notes	-
King Frost			3	2	2	5	3
Pros	Has High VIT for a mage meaning he's fairly bulky. Has a powerful ice skill Cold World, unique to him. One of best demons for ice Democalypse.
Cons	Cold World has no levels and since it's an AOE without pierce Ice N/D/R are troublesome. Megaton Press doesn't have any merit on him. One of the slowest demons in the game with 76 AGI and only above average MAG stat.
Notes	-
Kudlak			2	2	2	1	1
Pros	Dark Pandemic is a cheaper Dekaja if maxed while casting a random debuff. This makes him a good early game support demon. One of the few demons with Drain Dark.
Cons	Panels don't add much to him Underwhelming stats outside of LUK, which he doesn't make much use of.
Notes	-
Loki			4	2	2	1	3
Pros	Strong and surprisingly tanky mage Trickster gives him a 20% chance using no press turns when he hits weakness. Pairs well with the Dx2 Chalk Eater. Serves plenty of niches late game PvE such as Celestial Baihu and Celestial Feng Huang.
Cons	Relies on transfer to excel in damage. Low AGI
Notes	Trickster doesn't work in democalypse.
Long			3	2	2	1	2
Pros	A good speed stat and mag for a 4* Purple gives Mana Aid an excellent PvE skill. Decent damage output for PvE if a Force AOE is transferred. Functions fine in Force Democalypse High AGI + Dragon Sense allow him to be built as an evade tank.
Cons	Extremely low LUK penalizes the evade tank build. No innate AoE. Much better Force users exist for PvP.
Notes	-
Man Eater			2	2	2	1	1
Pros	Her unique passive Sass lowers the defense of the team for 3 turns when the enemy is charmed. Useful in wave based battle due to Auto-Rakunda only working on the first wave nor having to waste a turn casting a defense debuff. High LUK and access to a rare skill Insanity in purple making her good at inflicting ailments. Panel 3 gives Sass an Sukunda effect as well and panel 2 raises ailment infliction.
Cons	Fairly slow making her teams take the risk of being outsped. Low STR/MAG
Notes	-
Matador			3	3	3	3	1
Pros	Innate EV of 40% with max Andalucia. Andalucia does a four 30 BP damage physical attacks when he evades a physical attacks. Excellent AGI/STR stats All of his archetypes have a niche but Red is preferable in most cases.
Cons	Lack of Physical Pierce hurts his pros greatly as he does only chip damage against physical NDR with even Phys Pierce (weak). A decision must be made whether he should have more EV% or Physical Attack%. He's frail due to low VIT and if he is facing magic skills... He will have a bad time.
Notes	-
Mishaguji			2	2	2	3	1
Pros	Arcane Ritual is a unique that increases the parties ailment recovery by 20%, which isn't bad at all. Good MAG stat and passable speed allowing him to function decently as a mage. Not a bad choice for Elec Democalypse
Cons	Auto-Cure increase isn't as good as having an ailment cleanser nor reliable. Two weaknesses. Needs to be alive for the unique to work and he's frail... Lacks single target skill.
Notes	-
Nekomata A			1	4	4	1	1
Pros	Has a very high speed stat 226 or 246 with max lv Pussyfoot + Innate Speedster Great support for teams that rely on speed like ailments while also boosting the entire parties EVA by 20%. Has a good luck stat to inflict ailments or could provide auto-buffs/debuffs in her transfers. Innate Evade helps her dodge and support role.
Cons	Not too many cons to speak of but her role is dependant almost entirely on transfers. Magic makes short work of her.
Notes	Cat
Neko Shogun			1	3	3	1	1
Pros	His unique Shogun's Order boosts ATK/EVA/Accuracy when enemy is muted. These are the best boosts for the teams, he fits in. Good AGI/LU stat Panel 2 and 3 serve him greatly such as granting EV% and Ailment Infliction%.
Cons	Average MAG stat making Mediarama and Mazionga fairly weak for his kit. Expensive Fusion due to requiring a valuable resource of one of each mitama. Shogun's Order lasts only a turn meaning turns needs to be set up well to take advantage.
Notes	84 Mitama (21 of each) is required for P3... and still costs a decent sum of 6 mil mag.
Nidhoggr			1	4	4	2	2
Pros	High survivability due to innate skills (esp. in Purple) and Stats. Nastrond is very strong in Offense PVP as the AI may not target him first. This allows him to survive popular "Turn-1-Kill"-Defense Teams reliably. Transfer him Recarmdra to turn the table. Decent LUK stat makes Mahashibabooon a decent transfer, which is to be cast before Recarmdra to make sure the revived allies won't die ("Turn-1-Kill"-Teams do not use Anti-Ailment techs).
Cons	Fairly passive due to serving a primarily supportive role especially against teams with anti-ailments/cleansers. Two weaknesses can be hindering.
Notes	-
Oberon			3	1	1	4	4
Pros	Top tier MAG stat of 216 Has potential in Democalypse even outside his element. Strong mage early pve with even skills like Agi and Bufu
Cons	One of slowest demons in the game and doesn't gain much of note by going second. Also one of worst LUK stats in the game while also having Mahamarin Karinon making it a wasted slot. Auto-Sukuka albeit a great skill isn't so much on Oberon for his role.
Notes	-
Odin			3	2	2	4	2
Pros	His unique Gungnir is a great physical aoe. Has access to a single target physical skill in Red. Works well in the popular Hell Gongen team.
Cons	Average stats with only decent STR and particularly slow. Needs skills to boost his damage output or accuracy if not Purple. Gungnir is MP expensive.
Notes	-
Ongyo-Ki			2	2	2	1	2
Pros	High STR and Decent VIT while providing decent support. Has innate Auto-Rakuka and access to Nocturne a good support skill. Panels that all around support his role.
Cons	Mabufula has no practical use with MAG stat of 86. Below Average AGI Outclassed by other physical demons.
Notes	Not a practical note but he's arguably the best user of Blight sadly only obtainable from Fafnir.
Orochi			2	1	1	3	1
Pros	Has access to the valuable Aura Gate skill Dmg Panel Immunity making him an excellent choice to give Void Dark Zones to, meaning only one demon is needed to null both of the negative tiles in AG. High STR and Auto-Taruka.
Cons	Has Bufudyne yet a very low mag stat. No Single Target Physical Skill. Not great outside of AG.
Notes	-
Pallas Athena			3	1	1	3	3
Pros	Good STR/LU/AGI supporting her role as an offensive unit. Functions as a budget Yoshitsune due to Mana Aid in Purple. Excellent choice for farming Brands of Sin/Aether and wave-based story missions.
Cons	Outclassed by Yoshitsune in every way if you happen to own one. Yoshitsune step-up banner for beginner exists. Holy Wrath and Resist Force are wasted skills on her.
Notes	-
Parvati			1	3	3	1	1
Pros	Her unique Joy Song makes her function as a counter to the popular Intimidating Stance skill in PvP. Learn more at Parvati Team. Has Auto-Sukuka a rare and useful skill for the teams, she functions in.
Cons	Average stats across the board Very lackluster for PvE even as a healer. No entirely useful innate skills albeit Recarm is niche... Still relies on transfers. Let's not speak about her panels 18 Million MAG for 15% Healing
Notes	-
Pazuzu			3	1	1	4	2
Pros	One of the best healers in the game due to high mag and considerable bulk Great for early-mid pve. Red is a good in the prelims of dark Democalypse. Will hit for decent damage due to high mag. Immune to the primary elements of the Dark Aether Quests if teal.
Cons	Healing falls off almost entirely late pve and not a good role in PvP. Lowest luck stat in game meaning crits/ailments will hinder him greatly. Mediarama is MP expensive Purgatory isn't a great offensive skill.
Notes	-
Persephone			2	3	2	2	2
Pros	Niche ailment cleanser in Yellow due to the rare Prayer skill Fruit of the Dead makes the opposition revive with one 1 HP further giving her a niche. Above average stats with High LUK Her panels are beneficial. One of the core demons to commonly beat Hell's Park 100.
Cons	Asherah a popular reviver gives one press turn with Mother's Creation, which is enough time to possibly come back even with 1 HP especially if Guan Yu is the recipient. This con applies to Nebiros too. Struggles with transfers due to having no innate ways to stop prevent ailments on herself. Not stand out in PvE barring a few bosses.
Notes	-
Prometheus			2	2	1	5	3
Pros	High MAG of 226 One of the strongest fire mages in the game making him an excellent choice for fire Democalypse in Red. Low AGI but low enough that it's good for slow teams. Makara Shift further benefits a slow team. Purple has Infinite Chakra a skill that give 4 MP per turn and pairs well with him.
Cons	He's frail and slow, which isn't the best combination especially in PvP. N/D/R Fire is a major hindrance to him in PvP. Ice weakness
Notes	-
Rakshasa			3	2	2	4	2
Pros	High STR/AGI Works well in Hell Gongen as his ability Rasetsu puts him in a state of might. Note: Rasetsu works once per wave furthering it's niche. All his panels are good.
Cons	Lacks a physical AOE Needs transfers to help his damage output. Two weaknesses.
Notes	-
Rangda			2	2	2	2	2
Pros	One of the few demons with Phys Repel meaning she pairs well with Alilat Access to Recarmdra allowing her to function as a support role A good demon to have early on due repel phys.
Cons	Only average stat overall and has below average VIT making her somewhat frail. Outclassed by other demons with physical and repel and Quetzalcoatl All of her moves are MP expensive.
Notes	One of the few demons that take reduced phys damage if panel 2.
Sandalphon			3	1	1	2	2
Pros	Decent bulk. Somewhat decent AGI. No weakness. Has Auto-Sukuka which is an incredible support skill. He is the cheapest way to get an auto-buff in your team.
Cons	No offensive ability and even if panel 3, it's not much to note. Does not innately have other noteworthy support skills.
Notes	Only has a 3 PvE rating due to how useful he is early on.
Sarasvati			2	1	1	3	2
Pros	Decent healer in Yellow due to High MAG stat and High VIT Not a bad pick for Ice Democalypse due to limited choices plus Back Attack in Purple.
Cons	Silent Prayer is a double-edged sword when she has the Barrier skill. 2 crippling weakness to fire and dark. Somewhat outclassed by other healers like Pazuzu but at least isn't prone to crits. Below Average AGI.
Notes	-
Skadi			2	2	2	3	2
Pros	More than decent innate Ailment kit (Mahamakajam, Insanity in Purple, Panel 3, high Luck). One of the best unit to use for Celestial Gui Xian fight. Needs to be paired with Rama.
Cons	Low AGI for an ailment team. Weak skillset for offense despite having a nice mag stat of 206.
Notes	-
Sleipnir			3	2	2	2	2
Pros	Very good non-unique skills (Speedster and good light attacks). Decent AGI and a Panel 3 which increases his speed.
Cons	Fenrir and Yatagarasu are better Speedster users.
Notes	-
Sphinx			2	2	2	3	2
Pros	High MAG. Mahamaon is a decent spell. Triggers passives that are strong when going second: Tetraka Shift has some (limited) use in PVP and early PVE. in Purple, he has Auto-Rakuka and excellent skill for slow and defensive team. Cheapest Mediarahan user in Yellow.
Cons	Subpar bulk. 2 weaknesses. No unique support skill to complement his role in a PVP team.
Notes	-
Succubus			2	1	1	2	2
Pros	High MAG stat of 204 Role is to charm the opposition and hit them with a hard hitting Bufudyne in combination with her passive Deadly Charm.
Cons	Too slow to be a viable ailment demon in PvP. Average luck stat No stand out colors that really assist her role.
Notes	-
Throne			2	2	2	1	1
Pros	Good AGI stat of 163. This AGI combined with his race being Divine means, with Speedster transferred, he becomes a decent candidate for the powerful "Archangels" PvP Team. Innate Void Dark Zones makes him a good candidate for Dmg Panel Immunity Thus making him a great Aura Gate demon at least early on either on team 1 or 2.
Cons	Superior (though more expensive) candidates for Archangels Teams exist. Barely passable MAG stat with full investment. No innate pierce and no innate Single Target skill. Other options for demons that can act as double null panel/zones.
Notes	-
Titan			2	2	1	3	3
Pros	Good defensive stats with High VIT/STR, which work in conjunction with Muscle Punch. Has Tetraka Shift, which works with his unique passive Unyielding Phalanx. Physical Mirrors also work with his unique passive. No weaknesses
Cons	Relies on Tetrakarn to take reduce damage as he has no innate repel physical. This makes his niche not as great for PvP as Tetrakarn isn't spammable. Walled by demons that Null/Drain/Repel Physical without having Phys Pierce (weak)
Notes	-
Titania			3	2	2	5	3
Pros	Top tier MAG Should be considered for some sections AG2 and any Democalypse other than physical. Innate Back Attack is useful for both AG2 and Democ
Cons	One of the lowest VIT stats in game and slow to boot. Not a good combination. No single target skill and Makajamaon is a bad skill on her. Isn't too great outside of Aura Gate and Democalypse
Notes	-
Tlaltecuhtli			2	2	2	3	2
Pros	Low enough AGI, that she functions well in slow teams. Decent MAG stat. Innate Recarmdra in Yellow gives her a niche due to the skills rarity. Earth Sacrifice gives a free Tetrakarn upon death and buffs all stats for one turn. Working well with Recarmdra
Cons	Doesn't take hits well as other common Recarmdra users: outclassed by Hecatoncheires another 4*. If she dies during the opponent's turn, Earth Sacrifice buffs will be gone once your own turn starts. Ice weakness. Low AGI forces her into slow teams which makes her low VIT a problem.
Notes	-
Tsukuyomi			2	2	2	1	2
Pros	Strong mage for early to mid PvE Lunar Blessing is a great unique allowing him to use any skill for 1 MP less; opening up tons of options. Red has a 3 MP Mudoon due to his unique; meaning no matter what you can cast it. 2 Null and 2 resists.
Cons	Weak to Phys, forcing you to transfer him Resist Phys. No innate AOE, and his innate attacks are low tier. It mean Lunar Blessing is under-exploited unless you transfer a stronger skill. On top of that, he has no innate passive that boosts damage. Low VIT and AGI.
Notes	-
White Rider			3	2	2	1	3
Pros	High MAG stat and above average AGI making him a good mage. His unique God's Bow has a 50% chance of Mortal and be used twice. This is extremely powerful in PvE against Boss battles, as the adds are rarely immune to Mortal. Closing the app allows you to reset the battle in Aura Gate and avoid you to lose Stamina in other Quest Modes. It means the 50% becomes a 100% with enough resets.
Cons	You can't reset PvP battles making God's Bow very unreliable. Needs Light Pierce (weak) or Panel 3 against Light-immuned demons Relies heavily on Ziodyne after God's Bow uses are up... Making Light Pierce (weak) feel like a wasted slot. Resetting battles over and over to get good rolls can be tiring.
Notes	Not good for Light Democalypse as God's Bow is 2 uses.
Wu Kong			3	2	2	4	3
Pros	Top-tier physical demon for a 4* demon having 235 STR. Has access to a single target and aoe physical skill freeing up his transfer slots for skills that boost his damage or accuracy. Great panels that each benefit him Is an excellent choice for the popular Hell Gongen team as he needs pierce for full potential. Good panels
Cons	Low AGI forces him to run Speedster in PvP for full efficiency and overall drags down team speed. No innate pierce, 2 weaknesses and frail. Zaou-Gongen a demon part of the Hell Gongen core, is already slow himself.
Notes	-
Yatagarasu			4	3	3	3	2
Pros	Can provide multiple roles such as Dodge, Ailment and even Offensive but primarily is best used as support. Has top tier speed stat of 237 and above average STR Innate Speedster and innate Auto-Sukunda, which helps with his role as the teams, he's best in are frail. Nice panels
Cons	Middling luck stat, which hinders his role as ailment user. No physical pierce so offensive capabilities are hindered without Zaou-Gongen.
Notes	-
Ym			3	2	2	5	3
Pros	Judgement of Nahar makes him an excellent pick for ice Democalypse as he casts the equivalent of a Mabufudyne every 2nd turn. Relevantly high mag stat of 199 and innate Ice Boost.
Cons	Expensive Fusion. No innate pierce. Not to good outside of Democalypse.
Notes	-
Yurlungur			2	2	2	1	1
Pros	Great VIT Stat/Decent AGI Good candidate for Muscle Punch when he isn't supporting. Has two innate support skills "A tanky danger noodle"
Cons	Bad offensive stats outside of using Muscle Punch. Below average luk making him not the best at hitting his Mashibaboo. Two weaknesses and both are bad ones to have so he'll need to cover them unless paired with Orcus. Only one decent awaken skill that being Resist Fire in Teal.
Notes	Best Gummy Worm. For an incredibly in-depth analysis of Yurlungur, please refer to this legendary article
Zhong Kui			2	4	4	5	3
Pros	Has access to Intimidating Stance a very good skill in PvP. Only niche in PvE. Auto-Taruka is another excellent skill for PvP. Top tier STR/LU Surprisingly versatile, he can be a pure attacker, Dodgy, Use ailments, ailment cleanser, all auto-skills. More information on this page Intimidating Stance Teams and Zhong in general. Great for Phys Democalypse
Cons	Not great for PvE Walled by many demons if you choose him for damage without pierce. Not the best accuracy.
