Overview

  • This List shows the relative strength of a demon and how/where it can be used.

Rating

  • The PVP Tier List assumes all demons have all Panels unlocked, good brands, the best transfer skills and are rated based on the highest tier of Random-Match PVP (Top 100).
    • 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

What do the flags mean?

The flags below the Demon's portrait in the tier list show how they can be obtained.

  • Fusible s.png - Demon is fuseable. Clicking this icon shows you all fusion combinations for this demon.
  • Gacha s.png - Demon is Gacha only.
  • Banner s.png - Demon is Banner Gacha only. You can only obtain this demon by pulling from their seasonal banners.
  • Event s.png - Demon is Event only. Nobody knows if they will be rerun.

Last Updates

  • 19/08/2020 - Tier list overhaul beta
  • 25/08/2020 - Automated visual tables added. Thanks Abyss!!
  • 26/08/2020 - Redefined PVE rating definitions.
  • 13/11/2020 - Added Democalypse ratings. Note that this is still a beta feature!
  • 11/12/2021 - Added Echidna, Ladon and Futsunushi and Adramelech. Significant rating adjustments to existing demons.
  • 19/02/2022 - Added Nyarlathotep, and corrected various typos and mistakes on recent entries.

5 star Tier List



Name Best Archetype(s) PVE PVP Democalypse
PVE PVP Offense Defense Prelim Boss
Adramelech.jpg Adramelech
Purple Purple Teal 3 5 5 5 5
Pros
  • Sun God's Majesty punishes any form of MP restore, burning 1 MP and dealing 30% Fractional damage to their entire team, while also renewing Barriers for your team. This makes him an incredibly strong counter to MP-batteries like Alice A, Angra Mainyu and Beelzebub☆.
  • In addition, Sun God's Majesty provides him Fire Pierce and more importantly +25% to Fire damage - this gives him a whopping +60% to Fire damage in Purple, even with ZERO transfers and ZERO panels. When combined with Sacrificial Inferno's colossal Base Power (which also ignores Endures), Adramelech can easily nuke down any target he chooses.
  • But wait, there's more! Sun God's Majesty also provides a 3-turn Luster Candy at the start of battle, aiding you in winning the buff war. With Panel 2 unlocked, it further chains into a 3-turn Debilitate, literally swinging every buff by himself for free.
  • To cap it off, Sun God's Majesty gives him +20% Max HP if fully levelled. Paired with his passable VIT-stat and innate Fire Survivor, this makes him surprisingly bulky, especially if Epitome of Endurance is transferred.
  • He can be left at Lv 1 for even more speed control, since Sun God's Majesty deals fixed damage regardless of his level. This in turn allows him to run Teal for Null Ice instead, letting him cover his weakness.
Cons
  • Weak to Ice unless Teal.
  • High AGI makes him awkward to fit into slow teams, more or less mandating Epitome of Endurance.
Notes
Alice.jpg Alice
Purple Teal Teal Purple 4 4 3 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.jpg Alice A
Teal Purple Teal 5 5 5 1 2
Pros
  • One of only two demons in the game with an AOE Mortal, and the only one who can cast it T1. 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.jpg Alilat
Clear Clear 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 Luck 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 the few demons that can negate Pierce, and the only fusible one. A near Must-Have demon for PvE, as Repel Pierce paired with appropriate demons is perfect for cheesing most Boss fights.
Amaterasu.jpg Amaterasu
Yellow Clear 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, removing all debuffs and casting the equivalent of a 6-turn Luster Candy when used. This will ensure buffs will always be in your favour after using.
  • 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.jpg Ananta
Red Purple 1 2 3 3 1
Pros
  • Purple provides all 3 Auto-Buffs, which is useful for early PvP.
  • 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.
  • With newer demons having buff chains on their skills Auto-buffs are no longer as rare as they used to be, thus reducing Ananta's niche.
  • Buffs disappear after a wave is cleared in PvE, so Auto-Skills aren't as valuable there.
Notes -
Anat.jpg Anat
Purple Purple Clear 4 4 4 5 3
Pros
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
  • 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!
  • Killer Impulse can be denied by having Endure on all demons. This is becoming more commonplace after the introduction of Survivor skills.
  • As her main use in PVP is spamming Thunderstorm and Elec weakness is rarely left open due to Atropos, Clear is her only archetype that can reliably increase damage, albeit by a very small amount. However, building a Clear one locks you out of Archetype switching, and significantly reduces her damage in Democalypse, so weigh your options wisely.
Angra Mainyu.jpg Angra Mainyu
Teal Red Purple Teal 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's Give me Jewels, 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 Luck 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.
  • He doesn't have any form of Barrier Break in his kit, meaning someone else with it has to go before him, or else his ailments won't stick.
  • 16 Scourges deals fractional damage, which doesn't scale from MATK, meaning that his high Magic stat is wasted without transferred skills.
Notes
Aniel.jpg Aniel
Purple Purple 4 3 3 2 5
Pros
Cons
  • As Archangels are mostly used as Glass Cannon teams, God's Grace is irrelevant most of the time (outside of the passive damage boost).
  • Angra Mainyu pretty much does his job without eating a Press Turn.
Notes
  • The MP restoration aspect is very powerful to counter Alice A's passive MP Drain. This is most notable on an Archangels compositions, 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.jpg Ardha
Teal Purple Teal 4 4 4 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 Demiurge, 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, especially in Purple for Merciless Blow.
Cons
Notes
  • Run Ardha with Lakshmi A to give your whole team near unlimited MP.
Arioch.jpg Arioch
Teal Yellow Purple Any 4 5 5 5 3
Pros
  • Has a huge hp barrier on the first turn, making it a challenge for T1 teams to kill him, especially when paired with revivers like Xi Wangmu or Maria
  • Perfect for T2 teams, with Intimidating Stance, incredibly low agi, and innate Epitome of Endurance.
  • His abilities scale off of max HP, allowing him to do huge amounts of damage based off his hp.
  • At the end of the opponents first turn, he enters a state of Charge and Rebellion, meaning his next hit will hit like a truck, and he additionally chips at their Max hp
  • Both of his unique attacks go through endures, making it easier for him to sweep with Lionfall.
  • His panels are great, making him even harder to kill and giving him much needed accuracy.
  • Red has both ST and AoE making it easier for him to avoid anti pierce.
Cons
  • 64 agi is nice for going slow, but it means he's also completely blind. Needs a ton of accuracy and buff control to hit evasive targets, especially with evasion popular in the current meta
  • Lionfall does not have mp reduction in levels, and this can be abused by players using mp drain like Mind Break.
  • High hp totals mean fractional damage skills are going to hit harder on him.
  • Has some ai issues when anti-pierce comes into play, which can lead to him wasting his Charge and Rebellion combo on an auto attack
Notes -
Asherah.jpg Asherah
Teal Purple Yellow Teal 3 3 3 2 2
Pros
  • Mother's Creation revives a unit with full HP while also generating a Press Turn, allowing the resurrected unit to act immediately.
  • Silent Prayer in Yellow allows her to act as a Pseudo-Cleric and also removes 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
Astaroth.jpg Astaroth
Any Purple Teal Red 4 5 5 5 5
Pros
  • Demons die when they are killed by Lord Astaroth, letting him be a hard counter to revive teams that don't have Maria
  • When enemies die, he offers incredible buff control, swinging every offensive buff and debuff in his team's favor. In addition to this, the first time an enemy dies, he gives his team a press turn, allowing up to 6 press turns when paired with Masakado A
  • Lord Astaroth has absurd damage, doing 250 damage total with bonus crit rate. The second hit can also be used to check evasive targets without risking press turns. It also only costs 5 mp base, and is reduced to 4 mp with his first panel, meaning when paired with Maria, he can use it every turn even with war brands.
  • With the second highest agi in the game, and 70% battle speed built into his kit with 20% more in panels, he's going to make your teams fast.
  • Does so much damage he doesn't just need to be in fast teams. He also functions great in midrange teams, especially when paired with Maria.
  • An absolutely absurd 100% crit rate built right into his kit, meaning unless he's against Epitome of Fortitude or Wild Instinct, he's essentially guaranteed to crit.
  • Amazing panels, with the aforementioned mp reduction in p1, a huge party crit rate and hit rate buff in p2, and even more speed and damage in p3
  • Amazing awaken skills, offering aoe mp drain, buff control, damage, or Repel Phys, depending on what you need
  • Completely redefined the pvp meta. He hits so hard that if you don't have a way to deal with his damage, you will struggle to climb.
Cons
  • Red awaken skill, Cleaving Aura, is one of the best mp drain skills in the game, but the ai will attack into ndr, limiting its power on pvp defense teams.
  • T1 teams built with him have to choose between speed, or being able to deal with the bulk of Maria teams, meaning randoming can be risky
  • Constantly chains effects, slowing down pve clear times
  • No innate Mara
Notes -
Asura.jpg Asura
Red Teal 4 2 2 4 5
Pros
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.jpg Asura Lord
Red Purple Purple Teal 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 can only be blocked by two demons (Beelzebub (Human) and Griffith) 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
Atavaka.jpg Atavaka
Purple Teal Purple 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 Phys NDR+Anti-Pierce, 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.jpg Atropos
Purple Purple Red 2 4 5 3 3
Pros
  • Passionate Rage dishes out massive damage before the battle even really begins. Since it 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 a 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 to work.
  • 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.
Notes
Azazel.jpg Azazel
Teal Purple Teal 2 3 3 4 3
Pros
  • The only demon in the game with access to two innate Endures in Purple. 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 80% 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 Baptisma and Dragon Slayer completely ignore Endures, negating a huge portion of his kit. This also applies to skills with Mortal effect.
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.jpg Baal
Purple Purple Red 4 4 3 5 5
Pros
Cons
  • Weak to Ice.
  • Expensive to fuse and only available in clear. Colored variants are Gacha exclusive.
  • Only Tempest has Pierce.
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!
Ban.jpg Ban
Any Any 4 3 2 4 4
Pros
  • Drains MP from the enemy team at the start of his turn, allowing him to keep his MP topped off and control enemy mp
  • Good single target piercing physical damage in Physical Hunt, which also drains 3 mp, allowing him to drain potentially 7 mp from a target in a single turn, or four from two.
  • Decent bulk with a good vit stat, innate Epitome of Fortitude, along with additional hp% from panels, and a built in endure with hp% in levels, combined with null mortal, can keep him alive draining MP
  • Offers some buff control with p2
  • Flexible with his colors, with each color offering different uses, letting him flex into many different teams.
Cons
  • Because he drains mp at the start of his turn, he won't steal mp from a T1 team, potentially letting him get swept in a single turn.
  • His agi is too high for a slow team, but slow for a fast team, making him hard to slot into pvp teams.
  • While far from weak, his damage is low compared to the highest tier of damage dealers, and the mp drain doesn't really counteract that enough to warrant a slot in a team.
  • Has decent bulk and decent damage, but isn't exceptional enough at either of them to excel at anything.
Notes
  • Only gains phys pierce in p1, meaning his auto attacks or Vorpal Blade in red are a liability without his panels
  • Limited-time Collaboration unit. Nobody knows if he will be rerun.
Barong.jpg Barong
Teal 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.
Batou.jpg Batou
Purple Purple 2 2 2 2 5
Pros
  • Tachikoma Support gives him a whopping +75% Battle Speed and autocasts a two-turn Rakunda + Sukunda when going first, making him very useful for Fast Teams.
  • Against single targets, SEBURO C-40A deals massive damage, totalling up to 320 Base Power - this is even higher than Hassou Tobi (280 BP) and Ashura (300 BP), and is further augmented by Death Blow in Purple.
  • Due to being coded as a conditional "when attacking first" skill (like Solars), Tachikoma Support will activate even during the Boss Phase in Democalypse. Combined with SEBURO C-40A's high base power, this makes him very useful for Phys Democalypse - provided you transfer another Single Target attack to use once he runs out of Seburo charges.
  • Panel 2 provides an additional Seburo charge and gives him additional accuracy + crit rate, very useful (and borderline mandatory) if going for a Democalypse boss build.
  • His middling AGI is both a blessing and a curse. On the plus side, having low AGI lets him go last in terms of turn order, where you can fully utilize SEBURO C-40A against softened / less targets. On the flip side however...
Cons
  • ... Low base AGI means he won't be able to fully take advantage of the +75% Battle Speed from Tachikoma Support, roughly making him the equivalent of an uninvested P0 Garuda in terms of Battle Speed contribution.
  • Epitome of Fortitude is a laughably wasted skill on a Turn 1 unit.
Notes
  • If using for Democalypse, be aware that his AI will refuse to use Luster Candy on Turn 1, even with Support AI and massive VIT investment. This is likely due to [SEBURO C-40A]]'s insane base power affecting the AI's decision-making.
  • Limited-time Collaboration unit. Nobody knows if he will be rerun.
Bayonetta☆.jpg Bayonetta☆
Purple 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.
Beelzebub (Human).jpg Beelzebub (Human)
Purple Purple 2 5 5 1 1
Pros
  • Lord of the Dead autocasts Almighty Tetrakarn and Rakukaja every turn. This is incredibly useful to counter Almighty Physical attackers like Shiva A and Skull Knight.
  • With Panel 2 unlocked, Lord of the Dead also reduces Piercing Physical damage as long as the barrier is up. This pretty much gives the team a 30% damage reduction from Physical Pierce, as most of them cannot remove Tetrakarn. This also applies to Elemental Physical attackers like Koga Saburo.
  • Great Chaos deals piercing Dark damage to a single target which also Mutes them, before chaining into an AOE piercing Elec attack that binds whoever it hits. This provides him great ailment control, especially if Panel 1 is unlocked to provide the team a free Barrier Break.
  • Has good bulk thanks to decent VIT/HP stats and Lord of the Dead providing him a 500-HP Endure.
  • Purple gains Intimidating Stance which synergizes well with his low AGI.
Cons
  • His damage output is rather low, as nothing in his kit boosts it (outside of Panel 3) and his MAG stat is fairly average for a mage.
  • This is made worse by his kit having a combination of ST, AOE, Dark and Elec elements, making it even harder to augment his damage.
  • Heavily reliant on Panel 1 and 2 to shine, otherwise he is rather mediocre.
  • Beelzebub (Human) is a silly name.
Notes
Beelzebub☆.jpg Beelzebub☆
Red Purple Teal 4 5 5 4 5
Pros
Cons
  • Middling AGI makes him awkward to slot in slow teams. Consider an Epitome of Endurance transfer if you want to do so.
  • As his kit is entirely Almighty, Five Elements counters him pretty hard. Pairing him with a Demiurge with Panel 2 unlocked offsets this weakness though.
  • Heavily reliant on Panel 1 and 2 to shine, otherwise he is fairly easy to deal with.
Notes
Belial.jpg Belial
Purple Purple 3 3 3 5 2
Pros
  • Flames of Gomorrah is a hard hitting Fire (Physical) 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 with Nebiros who can curse before your turn.
  • Panel 2 allows him to Crit indefinitely.
Cons
Notes
  • Many PvE enemies including certain Bosses are not immune to curse, making him an insane Debuffer for PvE.
Berserker Guts.jpg Berserker Guts
Purple Red Purple 3 4 4 5 3
Pros
  • Berserk is the hardest-hitting ST skill in the game right now, sporting a massive combined 300 BP with sky-high Crit Rate, which also ignores any Endure skill. In addition, if the first part of the skill manages to kill the target, the chain effect will go off on a separate demon, effectively letting you clean up two demons in one go.
  • High AGI and STR, coupled with his massive damage output, makes him a perfect fit for fast T1 teams, especially if paired with Masakado A, Angra Mainyu etc.
  • Gains access to the rare Death Blow in Purple, further increasing his damage. Red gives him access to discounted Binge Eating which helps to offset the fixed damage from Berserker Armor.
Cons
  • Berserk only has two charges. This makes missing particularly painful for him.
  • Berserker Armor takes off 40% of his Max HP and the end of the opponent's turn, effectively turning him into a ticking time bomb.
Notes
  • Berserker Armor reduces ALL damage he takes by 40%. As damage reduction stacks additively, it is possible to reach over 100% AOE Reduction if combined with demons like Orcus + Slime and take literally zero damage (outside of Fractional damage).
  • Limited-time Collaboration unit. Nobody knows if he will be rerun.
  • Due to how powerful crits are in Phys Democalypse, he is a fantastic Prelim sweeper due to Berserker Armor's high crit boost, provided you transfer an AOE like Gigantomachia.
Black Frost.jpg 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.jpg Black Maria
Teal Purple Teal 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 Luck 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 Panel they have.
Black Rider.jpg Black Rider
Teal Purple 2 4 3 3 2
Pros
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
  • The Baphomet Prelim in Light Democalypse will occasionally cast Drain, triggering Soul Divide for massive damage. It is a rather unreliable tech though, especially if you have demons that NDR Dark in the same team.
Cerberus A.jpg Cerberus A
Red Yellow Purple Yellow Purple 4 4 4 3 5
Pros
  • Is the only unit in the game with a skill that gains back a press turn lost to Intimidating Stance, giving him a unique niche on faster teams, and also giving him buff control, reducing their atk/def
  • As Hell Blaze ramps up, it begins to rival the sheer numbers that Koga Saburo's Soaring Blades can put out, for less mp at p2
  • Pierce in Phys along with his Hell Blaze piercing allows flexibility in avoiding NDR.
  • Looks badass as hell
Cons
  • Has no innate speed boosters in his kit, meaning he's not the best candidate for T1 teams, as if he's outsped, he'll near certainly lose.
  • While the flexibility of two element pierce is nice, it's difficult to raise the damage of two separate elements
  • With high hit counts and no hit rate boosts outside p1 and his purple awaken skill, his accuracy can be a liability
  • His str and agi both are good, but not spectacular, leading to him being outclassed by his competition in terms of damage and speed
  • Ramp up time in Hell Blaze isn't ideal for a team that wants to kill as fast as possible
Notes -
Cernunnos.jpg Cernunnos
Purple Purple 2 2 2 2 5
Pros
  • Life & Death randomly revives an ally demon whenever an enemy dies. It is one of the few revive spells with no usage limit, and is useful to keep momentum swinging in your favor, particularly with Panel 2 unlocked giving you a Rakukaja and Tarukaja chain.
  • Soul Hunt deals Piercing Dark damage that bypasses Endures and applies a Rakunda effect. With Dark Amp in Purple, this makes him a perfect choice for Dark Democalypse.
  • Innate Enduring Soul + is useful to let him last around longer.
Cons
  • Weak to Force.
  • Has only fairly average stats.
Notes
Clotho.jpg Clotho
Purple Purple 3 4 4 1 1
Pros
  • A powerful (but not mandatory) addition to the Moirai Sisters archetype, as 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, but it also ensures that all of the Sisters' 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 Luck 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 to work.
  • 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.jpg Cu Chulainn
Purple Purple 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.jpg Cu Chulainn A
Teal Teal Purple 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 the end of turn. This allows him to deal massive damage the next one 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.jpg Cybele
Clear Clear 3 1 1 5 5
Pros
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.jpg Daisoujou
Any Purple 4 4 4 1 1
Pros
  • Preach makes him immune to all ailments and will punish enemy teams attempting to use Charm. Cleansing Shout is both an Ailment and Debuff Cleanser at the same time. These two skills have perfect synergy together and make him the best Cleric in the game, only on par with Mahamayuri.
  • Panel 3 further improves his role, as it removes all opponents' buffs after Cleansing Shout is cast.
  • Good balanced stats coupled with no weaknesses and a perfect base kit allows total freedom in builds: he can work as a bulky tank, evasion tank, healer and/or a revive support.
  • Purple comes with innate Enduring Soul, which makes him bulkier and synergyze well with Recarmdra as the Premium Skill.
  • Very useful for Brands of Sin: Sloth auto-runs.
Cons
  • Is a hard support unit, relies on transfer skills to offer anything outside cleansing.
  • Soul Drain is a wasted slot, as it is MP expensive and doesn't add to Daisoujou's support build. It also wastes MP in auto, as the AI will cast it when no Ailments are currently active.
  • As he needs to constantly spam Cleansing Shout, Divine Brands or a Mana Aid transfer are mandatory for Sloth auto-farming, especially in Red.
Notes
  • He is very good in the current Meta, both against Curse-focused Nebiros teams and Auto-Charm Clotho teams.
  • When he has access to offensive spells (in Red or through transfers) his AI will prioritize those over Cleansing Shout if they can hit enemy weak points. This does not occur if your team is Binded and/or Charmed.
  • Comparatively, Daisoujou is better as a pure support demon (no weaknesses, provides buff control, can focus purely on survivability/evasion, more flexible on transfers), while Mahamayuri offers more offensive pressure and better Press Turn economy. Pick whoever your team needs more.
Dante☆.jpg Dante☆
Any Purple Red 3 3 3 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 unless you pair him with Angra Mainyu.
  • 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.
David.jpg David
Purple Purple 3 4 4 1 1
Pros
  • He is essentially an entire Ailment Team neatly packaged into one demon. Not only does Bohemian-- err Bemusing Rhapsody remove Barriers, it also has a high chance of inflicting Charm and Curse, while only costing 5 MP to cast.
  • Deadly Melody autocasts two random buffs and debuffs every time ailments land, allowing you to repeatedly swing buffs in your favor especially when paired with other ailment demons like Lilith A and Angra Mainyu. This is very powerful with Panel 2 unlocked, as it gives your teammtes increased damage against Cursed and Charmed units.
  • Panel 3 reduces ailment cure rate by 25%. This is incredibly strong as it ensures Bind and Charm will always last a turn (as long as they don't have increased recovery).
  • Panels 1 and 3 give him increased Battle Speed, allowing him to act as a Speedster.
  • Innate Epitome of Madness and Insanity in Purple, combined with Bemusing Rhapsody's high ailment base chance means he is almost guaranteed to land his ailments, allowing you to forego ailment infliction for other brand stats like Speed instead.
Cons
  • Panels are mandatory on him, without them he is a rather mediocre ailment unit.
  • Stiff competition from Motoko Kusanagi who is also pretty much a standalone (heh) ailment package on her own. In a vacuum, Bind and Mute are arguably more useful ailments, and Motoko has the advantage of being fully useable without Panels.
  • Hard-countered by Ailment immunity, most notably Daisoujou, Panelled Clotho and Panel 2 Beelzebub☆.
Notes
  • While Bind and Mute might be more powerful on their own, Charm and Curse have more abuseable combos, most notably Lilith A, Alice A and to a lesser extent Panel 3 OG Lilith.
Demiurge.jpg Demiurge
Any Purple Red 4 5 5 1 3
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 cast Invasion during the Democalypse Boss Phase, providing you a one-turn Offensive Cry. It only lasts one turn though, so he will need to repeatedly waste turns casting it, making it an average tech at best.
Demonee-Ho.jpg Demonee-Ho
Yellow Purple Purple Yellow 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 (Physical) damage, which can currently be negated only by Lord of the Dead and Hawk of Light.
  • 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!
Echidna.jpg Echidna
Purple Teal Purple 2 5 5 5 1
Pros
  • Freezing Gale deals Ice damage multiple times to all enemies. In addition to it being a pseudo Endure breaker, it also revive seals any enemy it downs, making her the first unconditional AOE Revive Sealer in the game.
  • Fecund Womb will randomly revive a dead ally with full HP at the end of an opponent's turn. It also gives her Null Bind, ensuring the skill will always pop off as long as she is alive.
  • Massive HP stats, combined with innate Epitome of Endurance and Null Mortal with Panel 1 make her very difficult to kill.
  • Butcher in purple helps to amplify her damage, while Teal gives her Repel Elec to cover her weakness.
Cons
  • Weak to Elec unless Teal.
  • Difficult to build due to needing both bulk and damage.
  • Fecund Womb is limited to 3 charges.
  • Not as cute as a certain Witch of Greed who shares her name.
Notes
  • Part of the Vile Team, together with Pales, Demiurge and Ladon. This combination has Anti-Pierce coverage for every element sans Force, has access to double Intimidating Stance thanks to Pales and is generally very bulky.
Elizabeth.jpg Elizabeth
Purple Teal Yellow Teal 1 1 1 1 1
Pros
  • Innate ailment resistance in p1 helps her chain to cleanse the whole party as well as passively heal.
  • Lots of healing bonus along with decent magic stat means she's going to heal for a lot
  • Ark is a cheap almighty single target attack that revive seals, letting her contribute both offensively and defensively to the party, and mostly avoid ndr
  • Cleanses passively with Goddess Aid, meaning she doesn't take press turns from your bigger damage dealers
Cons
  • Needs p1 to even remotely function, which is a tough ask of a collab unit.
  • Does not block charm, nor does she cleanse it, meaning to properly function as a cleanser, the entire team needs null charm, or she needs to use her transfers as Null Charm and Prayer, removing any build flexibility
  • Also does not block or cleanse curse, hurting her healing
  • Healing is not strong in this game, meaning she's mediocre at a job that isn't too good to begin with
  • Her damage simply isn't high enough with the escalating life totals in this game, and almighty damage is difficult to boost
  • She's split between offense and defense and fails miserably at both. Daisoujou, a choice file unit, does her job far better, as does Mahamayuri, who has had reruns, while collab reruns are few and far between
  • Has almost no buff control for a support, with her only innate buff control being in p2
  • Ark does not bypass endures, hurting it's capacity as a revive seal
Notes
  • Limited-time Collaboration unit. Nobody knows if she will be rerun.
Erlkonig.jpg Erlkonig
Any Yellow Purple 2 5 5 1 1
Pros
  • Alder King heals your team on your turn, and debuffs the enemy's attack on their's. When paired with P3, this turns into a full defensive buff swing in your favor.
  • Has massive survivability thanks to Power of Life providing auto-Lydia, Alder King's healing, his massive HP and VIT stats (further boosted by skill levels and panels) and Null Mortal in Purple. His good bulk allows him to fully capitalize on Recarmdra, as he will usually be the last one standing.
  • Low AGI makes him perfect for bulky slow teams.
Cons
  • Weak to Fire. This is particularly bad in a Surt A-heavy meta.
  • Maziodyne is a wasted slot.
Notes
  • Due to Alder King's effect timing, it actually procs after most of the enemy's auto-skills have activated. When paired with demons that have similar timings (like Vairocana and Lachesis), it guarantees a full defensive buff swing regardless of what your opponent runs (Solar skills, Angra Mainyu's Panel 2, etc. all go off first, before getting wiped out).
Fafnir.jpg Fafnir
Teal Teal 1 1 1 1 1
Pros
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.jpg Flauros
Purple Purple Clear 2 2 2 5 4
Pros
  • With Panel 2 unlocked, Flauros absolutely wrecks Phys Democalypse Preliminary 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 Preliminary 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.
Flauros Hallel.jpg Flauros Hallel
Red Teal 4 4 4 3 3
Pros
Cons
  • As nothing in his kit boosts damage, damage booster transfers are mandatory.
  • Requires a good team built around him to really shine.
Notes
  • As he does not gain Null Curse until he actually gets a turn, he can be killed by Angra Mainyu + Alice A combos if outsped.
  • Red grants him access to discounted Mahamadyne, which can be useful if you want a piercing AOE.
Frost Ace.jpg Frost Ace
Purple Purple 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
Notes
  • Hee Ho
Futsunushi.jpg Futsunushi
Yellow Purple 4 4 4 5 4
Pros
  • Sword Deity's Might provides team-wide Rebellion every turn, massively increasing your team's physical damage. This is exceptionally powerful in Phys Democalypse, as scores there widely fluctuate depending on crits. It also increases the damage of all allies in a state of Rebellion.
  • Ryujin Reflection procs an AOE counter whenever your allies receive Physical damage, similar to how Asura shield functions in Battle Tower. It also casts Tarunda and Rakunda when it procs. This makes him a good check against faster, Physical-based teams like Koga Saburo and/or Sraosha.
  • Yellow provides him Iai Isshin, a Physical AOE that puts him in a state of Charge if the attack is successful. This is very devastating for Phys Democalypse Prelim, similar to how Nero☆ racks up insane numbers in Elec Democalypse Prelim.
  • Red gives him access to Tempest Slash +, a souped up version of Tempest Slash that hits harder and ignores Endures.
Cons
  • Weak to Dark.
  • No unique active means he is stuck using the generic Berserker God, which is underwhelming to say the least.
  • Middling AGI makes him awkward to fit in teams, and Asura Lord is an overall stronger Aura demon for T1 Physical Teams.
Notes -
Gabriel.jpg Gabriel
Red Purple Purple 4 3 3 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. Since it is a Chain effect, it does not consume Press Turns even when hitting NDR.
  • Innate Thunder Reign 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
Garuda.jpg Garuda
Any Red Purple 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 his 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 slot.
  • 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.jpg Garuda A
Purple Yellow Purple Red 3 3 3 3 5
Pros
  • Brilliant Wings fires a Piercing AOE Force attack every time any of your demons 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 effectiveness.
  • Needs a team built around him to be really effective.
Notes
Gemori.jpg Gemori
Teal Purple Teal 3 3 2 1 1
Pros
Cons
  • Weak to Ice unless Teal. This is particularly annoying against fast teams which typically run Hresvelgr.
  • Mediarama is a rather bad healing spell.
Notes -
Gogmagog.jpg Gogmagog
Teal Teal 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 Repel Pierce units such as 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.
Griffith.jpg Griffith
Teal Red Teal Purple 3 3 3 1 1
Pros
  • Blade of the Absolute is an Almighty Physical attack with increased innate accuracy (1.5x), high crit rate and hits the same target multiple times, shredding Endures.
  • Hawk of Light refunds 3 MP and sets up Almighty Tetrakarn on kill, letting him spam Blade of the Absolute repeatedly while completely walling off demons like Shiva A.
  • Has evasion thanks to innate Evade and Hawk of Light providing an Evasion bonus.
  • Panel 2 provides him Null Charm and Null Bind. Paired with Null Mute and a Cleanse transfer (such as Prayer), he can function as an evasive cleric that can also help with DPS if a cleanser is not required.
Cons
  • As he does not have any damage booster in his kit (outside of P3), damage transfers are mandatory if building him as an assassin.
  • Difficult to build as he requires too many stats to function, forcing you to choose which parts of his kit to specialize in.
  • Requires a good team built around him to really shine.
  • Outclassed by Beelzebub (Human) as an Almighty (Physical) Repeller.
Notes
  • Limited-time Collaboration unit. Nobody knows if he will be rerun.
  • Red gives him access to discounted Vorpal Blade, which can be useful if you want a piercing AOE for PvE, especially since ANY kill will trigger Hawk of Light.
Guan Yu.jpg Guan Yu
Red Teal Purple Teal 4 4 4 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.
  • Highly dependent on the first kill for tempo. Failing to secure the first kill will result in him not having enough MP for the next turn.
Notes
Guts.jpg Guts
Purple Purple 4 4 4 5 2
Pros
  • Extremely high Crit rate thanks to innate 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 Physical AOE that does not cost MP, very useful against MP denial teams.
Cons
  • Having no innate ST skills means he will be walled by Phys Anti-Pierce. 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.jpg Hecate
Purple Purple 4 4 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 matchups.
  • 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
Hresvelgr.jpg Hresvelgr
Purple Red Purple Yellow 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 slot.
  • Weak to Phys and Fire, both very bad ones in the current meta. Phys Weakness is particularly terrible unless paired with Orcus for Press Turn denial.
Notes -
Huang Di.jpg Huang Di
Red Red Purple 4 2 2 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 or less outclassed by Guts. Oh how the mighty have fallen!
  • AI is very unreliable for PvP Defense; he 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.jpg Huang Long
Yellow Purple Yellow Purple 4 2 2 1 1
Pros
  • High AGI, incredible resistances and decent bulk make him a coveted PvE support demon.
  • Five Elements walls every magical demon without Pierce, including Almighty mages such as Mother Harlot and Trumpeter.
  • 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 Stages 10, opening up brand farming on Auto.
Cons
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.jpg Indrajit
Purple Purple 3 3 2 3 5
Pros
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.jpg Ishtar
Yellow Teal Yellow 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 auto-casting 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.jpg Ixtab
Any Yellow Purple 1 3 3 1 2
Pros
  • Upon death, Yaxche autocasts an almighty Mortal spell that will instakill the enemy that killed her, bypassing Endures.
  • Yellow gives her access to discounted Mahashibabooon, letting her also function as an Ailment inflictor.
Cons
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.jpg Izanami
Purple Red Purple 3 2 2 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 innate 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☆.jpg Jeanne☆
Purple Purple 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 off both 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.jpg Kali
Purple Red Purple 4 3 3 4 5
Pros
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.jpg Kartikeya
Clear Clear 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 Repel Physical effects (notably Tetraka 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.
Koga Saburo.jpg Koga Saburo
Purple Purple 4 5 5 5 3
Pros
  • Dragon of Defense passively increases his accuracy and provides a full Agile Cry buff swing, which greatly helps him (and his allies) land hits.
  • Soaring Blades is a multi-hitting Force (Physical) ST nuke that chains into another multi-hit Force AOE. Not only does it hit incredibly hard thanks to high base crit rate (50%) and innate Force Amp in Purple, it's also very spammable thanks to a low MP cost of 5.
  • High base AGI and increased Battle Speed from Panel 2 make him invaluable for fast teams. Transfer Speedster if you need even more zoom!
  • Force Anti-Pierce is very rare in the current meta, allowing him to sweep with impunity. Even on the rare occasion you do encounter Force Anti-Pierce, you can simply cast Soaring Blades on another demon that does not Drain/Repel it - even if the chain AOE is Anti-Pierced, it won't consume Press Turns due to it being a chain effect.
  • Has pretty much the perfect stats for a glass cannon T1 sweeper - top tier AGI, STR and high LUK.
Cons
  • Weak to Ice, though admittedly this is less of a concern for T1 teams.
  • Loses turns if he misses even 1 of 4 ST Soaring Blades strikes. Missing on the AOE is fine though, as missed chain effects won't consume Press Turns.
  • Very frail, needs an Endure-type transfer (preferably Force Survivor) to reliably survive Moirai sister comps.
Notes
  • He is nigh unusable without Panel 2 in Democalypse, as Soaring Blades only has 3 charges by default. Unlocking Panel 2 increases this to 6, which is just enough for a Prelim team, or a non-Mot team for Boss.
  • Has AI issues when used on defense - AI will usually target demons with high HP instead of trying to kill off frail demons. This can be very devastating if he decides to go for evasive demons like Angra Mainyu.
  • While Soaring Blades has a high crit rate, it is not unfailable especially against targets running Epitome of Fortitude. Crit-boosting transfers like Epitome of Finesse, Savage Glee and Auto-Rebellion go a long way in improving his consistency.
Lachesis.jpg Lachesis
Purple Purple 2 4 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 enemies' attack and defense while buffing yours. Not only does this make Atropos' Passionate Rage stronger, it also makes it harder for the opponents 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 to work.
  • 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.
Ladon.jpg Ladon
Teal Teal Purple 2 4 4 1 1
Pros
Cons
  • Weak to Ice.
  • Doesn't do much damage due to lack of damage boosters in his kit.
Notes
  • Part of the Vile Team, together with Pales, Demiurge and Ladon. This combination has Anti-Pierce coverage for every element sans Force, has access to double Intimidating Stance thanks to Pales and is generally very bulky.
Lakshmi.jpg Lakshmi
Any Purple 2 2 2 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 and Insanity combined with Lotus Dance's high Charm rate virtually guarantee 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 countering 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, who clears her charms and punishes her for using them.
  • Very bad bulk.

Yellow Red Purple 4 3 2 1 1

Notes
  • In Yellow, AI prioritizes Defensive Cry which does not trigger Diwali.
  • The MP restoration aspect is very useful to counter Alice A's passive MP Drain.
Lilith.jpg Lilith
Any Clear 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.jpg Lilith A
Purple Purple 3 5 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.jpg Lucifer
Purple Purple 3 4 4 5 5
Pros
  • Morning Star is the most powerful Almighty AOE spell in the game. Combined with Butcher in Purple, this allows him to deal massive amounts of damage.
  • Panel 4 casts a 1 turn Debilitate at the start of each turn. Not only does it augment your team's damage, it also procs AFTER enemy auto skills, making it very useful to reapply debuffs or cancel out their auto-buffs.
  • Good bulk especially with Panel 2 unlocked. This helps him live long enough to build up the MP necessary for Morning Star.
  • Fast-Debilitate from Panel 4 is incredibly useful in both phases of Democalypse.
Cons
  • Weak to Light.
  • Very MP hungry, requires teammates like Lucifuge or Angra Mainyu to help with MP Management.
  • Very expensive to fuse and panel.
  • No Pierce and full Almighty kit means he is shut down hard by Five Elements.

  • 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.
  • Has access to discounted Necro Dogma which only costs 6 MP when maxed (5 MP if Panel 1), allowing him to fire it Turn 1 and give 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.
Mada.jpg Mada
Red Purple Purple Teal 4 4 4 3 5
Pros
  • Drunken Giant reduces fire and phys damage taken, adds fire pierce, and gives his team a bulwark when his team goes second, or any time an enemy is charmed. Additionally it offers 20% max hp when leveled.
  • Scarlet Inferno does potentially 310 fire damage to a single target, and also charms on the eight random hits, enabling more bulwarks.
  • A solid set of panels that give him more hp, damage reduction, fire damage, and gives him Dionysus's passive, with a 50% chance to charm anybody who strikes him with a physical attack.
  • Intimidating Stance in purple synergizes great with his skill set and his low agi.
  • A kit hand crafted to disable fast turn 1 physical attacker teams.
  • A solid stat spread with high luck, vit, and mag, while also having only 93 agi.
Cons
  • What is arguably his signature trait in charming attackers is locked behind Panel 2.
  • His strengths are pretty one sided. While he is exceptional against fast teams, he struggles against slower teams and doesn't provide much value.
  • While devastating against a single opponent, besides the first hit, the secondary hits of Scarlet Inferno will only tickle, especially against a bulky set of opponents.
  • Has no way to remove barriers, and also is vulnerable to mortal.
  • Vulnerable to fire anti-pierce because you can't control the secondary hits of Scarlet Inferno
Notes
  • He only reduces Fire and Phys damage, so it's important to keep that in mind when you're facing other damage sources.
Mahakala.jpg Mahakala
Purple Red Red Purple 4 3 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. When maxed it can also be cast Turn 1 in PvP without the need of divine brands.
  • Very effective in Democalypse boss rounds as buffs/debuffs are difficult to come by.
  • Goes through Endure as Wrathful Flame is 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 he is revived and survives until the start of the following turn.
Mahamayuri.jpg Mahamayuri
Teal Purple Teal Purple 4 4 4 2 5
Pros
  • Kujaku Myo-o makes him immune to Ailments and Auto-cleanses your entire party at the start of turn. This is incredibly powerful for Battle Tower - as the MC is forced to move first, other Clerics cannot prevent him from wasting a Press Turn.
  • Hits fairly hard due to innate Force Amp, high BP on Blossoming Cyclone and a good MAG stat. As a bonus, it also heals your whole party, allowing him to provide sustain the same way Ardha does.
  • Possesses the extremely coveted Repel Force, which makes him a great pair for Repel Pierce units such as Demiurge (for comparison, the only other "generalist" Repel Force demons are Mot and Mastema, as Raphael and Pale Rider only work in specific compositions).
  • Teal can be used to patch up his Elec Weakness, while Master Assassin in Purple lets him hit harder.
Cons
  • Weak to Elec. This is especially bad against Atropos.
  • 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
  • Comparatively, Daisoujou is better as a pure support demon (no weaknesses, provides buff control, can focus purely on survivability/evasion, more flexible on transfers), while Mahamayuri offers more offensive pressure and better Press Turn economy. Pick whichever your team needs more.
  • The AOE version of Mayuri. Tutturu~
Mara.jpg Mara
Purple Purple 3 2 2 3 5
Pros
  • Only fusible source of Phys Pierce in Purple (aside from Fafnir, who will be impotent in most situations).
  • 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 transfers 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
  • A requirement in Phys PvE teams with Zaou-Gongen to pound through waves and bosses (such as in AG2 Boss Rush and Hells Park 91-99), as Auto-Charge is an incredibly powerful effect.
Maria.jpg Maria
Yellow Purple Yellow Purple 4 5 5 1 1
Pros
  • Demons no longer die when they are killed by revive sealing skills, because Maria cleanses revive seal on ally death, including on herself.
  • In addition to removing revive seal, she also casts a one turn Luster Candy on her team and heals.
  • Is ridiculously tanky, with 70% hp boost built into her kit, and more bulk in panels. This innate bulk allows her to still have high hp totals even when built for evasion.
  • Is immune to ailments and has Salvation built into her kit to cleanse for her party, with a large mp reduction and charge increase in p1
  • Swings defensive buffs in her teams favor every turn with p2.
  • In addition to making her team near impossible to kill, she also gives her entire team Infinite Chakra, allowing them to use their skills much more freely.
  • If you do manage to kill anybody on her team, at the end of her turn, she will revive her entire team once per game. She additionally has more revives through a skill in yellow.
  • Is so absurdly powerful that she can fit in any team from slow teams to a mana battery in fast teams, and anything in between.
  • Completely redefined the pvp meta. If you don't have a way to deal with her bulk and revive, you're going to struggle to climb
Cons
  • While still amazing without them, her power really spikes with p1 and p2
  • If she is revive sealed, Xi Wangmu will not revive her even though she removes the revive seal due to how the game is coded, with on self death triggers activating after ally death triggers
  • Has no innate evasion so you really need cracked brands to get her evasion high.
  • Her agi is middling, making her a bit tricky to fit into slow and fast teams.
Notes -
Marici.jpg Marici
Purple Purple 2 3 4 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.
  • Incredible synergy with Sraosha, as Shimmer Arrow will proc off his Soul Judgement chain, letting you snowball kills with multiple chain effects.
  • Works great in Brands of Sin Sloth 10-12 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.jpg Masakado
Purple Teal Purple 5 5 4 5 3
Pros
  • Innate Phys Amp in Purple combined with a MASSIVE STR stat allows 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 which synergizes well with his innate Drain Dark, allowing him to act as Anti-Pierce for both Phys and Dark when paired with Drain Pierce units such as Rama or Demiurge.
Cons
  • Low Agility leads to accuracy issues, especially against evasive targets.
  • Is very frail thanks to a low VIT and HP stat.
Notes -
Masakado A.jpg Masakado A
Any Purple 5 5 5 5 3
Pros
  • Guardian of the East provides 1 extra Press Turn when going first, enabling devastating Turn 1 Kill strategies like Hero Masakado T1.
  • Kuyo Flash can be cast 1st turn and swings offensive buffs entirely in your favor by autocasting 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 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.
  • None of his Awaken skills are particularly useful for him. Enduring Soul is his "best" one but it won't be that useful considering that he's built for a fast team where the only thing that matters is high offensive power and high accuracy for Phys attackers. Myriad Arrows could be useful to take advantage of his innate Pierce, but as just said it isn't a good Phys spell.
Mastema.jpg Mastema
Purple Purple 3 2 2 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
Notes
  • Easy 4x4 fusion paths and good panels make him a decent Panel 3 goal to strive toward.
Master Therion.jpg Master Therion
Any Purple 2 2 2 1 1
Pros
  • Blasphemy is a piercing Ice/Fire nuke that also Charms and Poisons their whole party. With innate Null Mute, he does not need to worry about Preach from opposing Daisoujou, though make sure not to get your other allies muted!
  • Mark of the Beast deals fixed damage and mutes all enemies at the end of his turn. Fixed damage goes through the Main Character's shield in Battle Tower, allowing you to deal full damage even if his allies are still alive.
  • P2 gives him Auto-Barrier Break if going first, turning him into a standalone ailment package similar to Motoko Kusanagi (except less visually appealing).
Cons
  • Panel 2 is mandatory for the Auto-Barrier Break. He is just another mediocre ailment demon otherwise.
  • No longer has a suggestive silhoutte.
  • Weak to Light.
Notes
  • Great synergy with Angra Mainyu - Master Therion breaks barriers for him, allowing Angra Mainyu to cripple their whole team with 16 Scourges while triggering Mark of the Beast for cleanup at the end of turn. They are also both decently fast and fit naturally in speed teams.
Maya.jpg Maya
Purple Yellow Purple 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 Luck 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
  • She has a powerful niche during certain Tower seasons that guarantee Ailments, as she will never run out of MP for charming.
Meliodas.jpg Meliodas
Any Any 4 4 4 5 5
Pros
  • High base str, agi, and decent luck make him a good candidate for fast sweeping teams.
  • Innate crit rate and hit rate from The Ten Commandments help him pass turns and land his hits even against the most evasive enemies.
  • His 2mp physical discount allows him to fire off cheap Megaton Raids and Gigantomachias freely, giving him flexibility in targeting as well.
  • Trillion Dark's chain effect adds even more damage to his hard hitting attacks and also can be used to help chip down evasive targets safely, without risking press turns.
  • Every color has a niche, allowing flexibility in team building.
Cons
  • No innate buff control other than Auto-Taruka in yellow and Rakunda in p2 means he needs either transfers or his team to cover buff control, and transfer slots are highly contested in fast teams
  • No innate speed boosters without panels, along with his agi not being THAT high means he slows your team down.
  • Is outclassed at his role by other stronger sweepers like Astaroth and Koga Saburo
  • His chain being dark can be a liability and lead to him killing himself against anti-pierce
Notes -
Metatron.jpg Metatron
Red Clear Yellow 3 2 3 4 4
Pros
  • Good HP and VIT stats paired with great resistances gives him decent bulk, especially with innate Enduring Soul in Clear. This is further improved by Panel 2 providing Magic Resistance and Panel 4 reducing all forms of damage he takes by 20%.
  • High Magic stat and Infinite Chakra lets him function well as a magic sweeper.
  • Works well in an Archangels Team, as Fire of Sinai is great for cleaning up and breaking Endures (especially with Panel 4) and can be cast T1 thanks to Infinite Chakra and Panel 1.
  • 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 (Barong + Vishnu). This is particularly bad as he has four panels to work on instead of the regular three.
  • Only random target skills is a great disadvantage in PvP, meaning he can't do much outside being a cleaner for Archangels Teams. Mahamadyne in Red does not really resolve the problem.
  • Full Almighty / non-Piercing kit means he is shut down hard by Five Elements.
  • Low AGI stat penalizes him in Archangels teams.
Notes
  • Still needs some kind of MP sustain (and possibly Panel 1) to cast Fire of Sinai T1 when facing Alice A.
  • The bonus hits provided by Panel 4 are coded as a different skill from Fire of Sinai and will not inherit effects such as Concentrate.
Michael.jpg Michael
Teal Red Yellow Red Teal 3 2 2 2 5
Pros
  • Soul Judgement deals massive damage against single targets, ideal for Bosses and Democalypse.
  • While he has pretty mediocre MAG stats, Panels 1 and 3 help to offset this by providing him a whopping +40% to Light damage.
  • Panel 2 and 4 increase his Battle Speed, allowing him to act as the team's Speedster particularly for Archangels.
  • Panel 4 confers Light Pierce to all Herald and Divine demons in the party. This is very useful for Mastema who does not have Light Pierce in his kit.
  • Panel 4 also provides a 15% damage boost to all Herald and Divine demons in the party (himself included). This is very useful for Archangel teams in both PvP and Democalypse.
  • Yellow gives him access to discounted Mediarahan, allowing him to double as a healer in PvE.
  • Very good set of resistances, especially in Teal.
Cons
  • Weak to Dark.
  • No Pierce until Panel 4 and overall mediocre stats.
  • Does not have Speedster innately which in turn consumes a skill slot.
  • Soul Judgement being random target is ill-suited for PvP, especially considering Light is commonly covered by Anti-Pierce (for example Pales + Demiurge).
  • Needs Panel 4 to be good in PvP, requiring a lot of investment.
Notes -
Mot.jpg Mot
Any Red Yellow Purple 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.jpg Motoko Kusanagi
Purple Teal Yellow 3 4 4 2 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.
  • Panel 3 gives her increased Battle Speed, allowing her to act as a pseudo-Speedster.
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.
Mother Harlot.jpg Mother Harlot
Any Teal 2 4 4 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 one of only two Drain Phys units 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.
Mozgus.jpg Mozgus
Red Yellow Teal 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 Phys 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
Notes
  • Limited-time Collaboration unit. Nobody knows if he will be rerun.
Murmur.jpg Murmur
Yellow Purple Yellow 3 3 2 2 2
Pros
  • Duke of Hell provides him damage and ST damage reduction for each open weakness on your party. This gives him a natural spot in Orcus comps, who typically run a large amount of open weaknesses.
  • Dynamic Evil Spear is a piercing Dark ST nuke with a high crit rate. If it lands, it will also ressurect ALL your allies at 30% HP, making it a pseudo-Recarmdra that can grant a half-turn if you crit. It also provides a 20% accuracy bonus if maxed, which pairs well with his innate Epitome of Aggression and Panel 1 both granting accuracy.
  • Purple gains access to Null Mortal, whereas Yellow grants him Auto-Sukunda for PVE.
Cons
  • You still receive extra damage from open weaknesses. Fire weakness is particularly annoying against Surt A and Atropos.
  • No innate damage boosters means he is forced to rely on Duke of Hell for damage.
  • Difficult to build optimally as he wants both damage and bulk; focusing on one will cause the other to suffer as a result.
  • Orcus comps are very vulnerable to Mortal, which is rampant in the current PvP Meta thanks to Beelzebub☆.
Notes
  • Dynamic Evil Spear only has 6 charges. Be very careful when using it, as you might end up running out of charges and be forced into a regular attack.
Nebiros.jpg Nebiros
Teal Purple Teal Purple 4 3 3 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 supports like Nadja.
  • As Call of the Dead triggers at the end of the enemy turn, it lets you start yours 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 a great setup for Alice A (and his own passive), while the buffs increase your likelihood of surviving the turn.
  • Highest Luck 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
Notes -
Nergal.jpg Nergal
Red Purple Purple 1 4 4 4 2
Pros
  • Plague of Babylon removes Barriers and has a very high chance of landing Weak status, making him an incredible setup for Ailment Teams.
  • High STR, Auto-Tarukaja in Purple 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.
  • Nergal is particularly strong against Cleric Angra Mainyu, as he can stack massive amounts of infliction to brute-force Weak through Angra's ailment resistance, which then lets you land your own Ailments to disable him from cleansing.
Cons
  • Weak to Ice.
  • Ailments fall flat in late/endgame PvE because of inflated enemy stats.
  • Hard countered by Ailment Cleansers like Daisoujou or Mahamayuri in PvP.
  • No innate Pierce until Panel 3 is unlocked.
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☆.jpg Nero☆
Any Purple Red 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 prevents him from spamming his spells freely.
Notes
  • Limited-time Collaboration unit. Nobody knows if he will be rerun.
Norn.jpg Norn
Clear Clear 3 1 1 2 4
Pros
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
  • Very good for Dark and Light Alter-World.
  • 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.
Nyarlathotep.jpg Nyarlathotep
Purple Red Purple Red 4 5 4 5 3
Pros
  • Demons die when they are killed by Otherworldly Force, a strong force sweeping skill reminiscient of Echidna's pseudo-endure breaking revive sealing aoe. With 218 magic and innate Force Survivor and Butcher, this skill hits hard.
  • Additionally gains 35% force damage through panels, only further increasing sweeping potential.
  • Applies the unique ailment Gloom, which cannot be blocked or cleansed. The only way to remove it is death.
  • Gloom offers a huge variety of effects, debuffing the opponent's hit rate, evasion rate, crit rate, ailment infliction, and ailment resistance.
  • In addition, while Nyarly is alive, all enemies will take 25% additional damage from magic and deal 25% less magic damage, as long as they are affected by Gloom
  • With an absurd four repels, he combos well with Demiurge or Atavaka and he also happens to be a Vile demon, helping him fit with Pales. This is of particular note with him countering Koga Saburo well, as force repel is rare.
  • Offers buff control in P2 when Gloom is applied, helping him contribute even more to the team.
  • He is of special note in democalypse prelim rounds, where he adds a 25% damage boost to the entire team.
Cons
  • While he fits great into Vile teams in theory, his 159 agi will increase the speed of those teams by a good amount, causing you to potentially be outslowed.
  • Additionally is slow for a fast team, meaning he's a bit awkward to slot into teams.
  • Has no way to reapply Gloom, so if a unit dies and is revived, the benefits are lost.
  • Otherworldly Force isn't a true endure breaker, so it won't always be able to punch through enemies, especially if they have multiple endures.
  • Isn't the tankiest demon so he will struggle to survive in slower teams, and if he dies, the magic damage amp on Gloom is lost.
Notes
  • Killing Wind in red can be useful to avoid NDR, and pierces thanks to Crawling Chaos
Orcus.jpg Orcus
Yellow Yellow 3 4 3 1 1
Pros
Cons
  • Hell's Gate damage reduction does not apply to single target attacks.
  • Very MP Hungry. Divine brands 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.
  • Needs specific team compositions to work well.
Ose Hallel.jpg Ose Hallel
Red Purple Purple Red Teal 4 4 4 4 5
Pros
  • Heavenly Sword puts him in a state of Charge and Rebellion after a single cast. This allows him to deal OBSCENE damage by spamming it over and over, especially if you have P2 unlocked for the MP reduction. It also bypasses Endures as a bonus.
  • Sword of Hallel gains boost levels as the fight drags on. At max level, it autocasts Debilitate at the start of turn, which is incredibly valuable for Phys Democalypse Boss Phase.
  • Can reliably crit for Press Turns thanks to Heavenly Sword constantly putting him in a state of Rebellion.
  • Phys Amp in Purple greatly increases his damage output. Teal can be used for Repel Phys if you plan to combo him with Repel Pierce units such as Atavaka.
  • Red gives him access to discounted Hades Blast, which is extremely powerful when combined with the Charge effect from Heavenly Sword. As a bonus, this also evokes memories of simpler times, where Charge + Hades Blast Teal Ose was all the rage in PvP.
Cons
Notes -
Pale Rider.jpg Pale Rider
Teal Purple Yellow Teal 1 3 2 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.
  • Good AGI and high LUK allow him to work as an Evade Tank.
  • Gains the strongest debuff Debilitate in Yellow, letting him double as a debuffer.
Cons
  • Weak to Elec, which is especially bad due to Atropos.
  • Ailments generally fall flat in late/endgame PvE because of inflated enemy stats.
  • Hard countered in PvP by Ailment Cleanser demons and skills, like Daisoujou or Hecate's Lunar Awakening.
  • Pestilence only kicks in at the end of enemy's turn giving them all the time 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
  • Great choice for Celestial Gui Xian, as the boss does not reduce fractional damage.
  • Bosses in Strange Signal are not immune to ailments. For new players, he can be a decent demon to kickstart your Aether farming, since his damage is fixed and does not depend on brands or transfers.
  • Due to the Anti-Ailments nature of the current meta, Pale Rider-centered teams are extremely unsuited for random targeting. Moirai Sisters teams in particular completely counter him, as a Panel 1 Lachesis is enough to ensure Null Poison to her whole team.
Pales.jpg Pales
Teal Teal Yellow 2 5 5 1 1
Pros
  • Vile Glare provides Intimidating Stance when paired with another Vile, Drake or Jaki demon. This stacks up to twice, giving you double Intimidating Stance if you run two other partners instead.
  • Cry of the Poor deals Fractional damage at the end of turn, which is useful for cleaning up Endures. If you have three or more Vile/Jaki/Drake demons alive, it will instead of proc twice, letting it break multiple Endures in one go.
  • Unlike other Racial combos, Vile Glare and Cry of the Poor both work even with just 1 other partner, which allows a lot more freedom in team building.
  • Incredible synergy with Vile Demiurge - Demiurge helps to fulfill the Vile requirement, while Pales has three Repel and Drain resistances to complement False God and Supreme Creator.
  • With Panel 1 unlocked and a Rallying Survivor transfer, he can stack up to 85% increased ailment recovery, which means a confirmed Turn 1 recovery from Bind and Charm. This allows him to run a Pseudo-cleric set with a Prayer transfer.
  • Teal patches up his Fire weakness, while Yellow provides him discounted Recarmdra to further support the team.
Cons
  • Weak to Fire, which hurts a lot against Surt A and Atropos.
  • No innate skills means he relies heavily on transfer skills to do anything at all.
  • Very underwhelming without Demiurge.
Notes
  • Part of the Vile Team, together with Pales, Demiurge and Ladon. This combination has Anti-Pierce coverage for every element sans Force, has access to double Intimidating Stance thanks to Pales and is generally very bulky.
Quetzalcoatl.jpg Quetzalcoatl
Any Purple Teal 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.jpg Quetzalcoatl A
Purple Purple Red 4 4 4 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 as he has Drain Fire by default. This is especially useful versus Herald team compositions to counter Uriel's Sunrise.
  • Red gives him access to discounted Trisagion, useful versus Fire Anti-Pierce.
Cons
Notes
  • As the Press Turn count is determined at the start of the round, Ce Acatl's 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 Turn now available to him.
Rama.jpg Rama
Any Yellow Purple Teal 4 3 3 3 3
Pros
  • One of only two demons that can Anti-Pierce through Drain, and thus an invaluable choice for Drain Teams.
  • Brahmastra is a three-hit Almighty skill that functions as an Endure-breaker.
  • Good base stats and no weakness 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
  • Drain Pierce does nothing versus Almighty and Fractional damage, both of which are extremely common in higher tiers of PvP.
  • Stiff competition from Demiurge, who not only has Drain Pierce but also Repel Pierce and two powerful passives.
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.jpg Raphael
Teal Purple Purple 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 Archangels Team.
Cons
Notes
Red Rider.jpg Red Rider
Teal Purple Purple 2 3 2 2 1
Pros
  • Good STR and decent AGI and LUK 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 its low MP cost. Bind also helps to ensure Bloodshed will not miss.
  • Bloodshed deals Piercing AOE Physical damage. As it is a chain effect, you will not lose Press Turns even if you hit into NDR, similar to Atavaka's Enemy Annihilation chain.
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).
  • Weak to Ice.
Notes
Samael.jpg Samael
Purple Purple 2 3 2 1 1
Pros
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.jpg Schierke
Any Any 3 1 1 4 2
Pros
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.jpg Seraph
Clear Clear 3 1 1 2 5
Pros
Cons
  • Only obtainable through Democalypse grinding.
  • High MP costs make him unsuitable for anything outside Democalypse.
  • Weak to Ice.
Notes
  • The best way to build him for both Democalypses is by focusing on one element (most likely Light, see below) by transferring its respective Enhancement skill (ex. Light Enhancement) and Master Assassin. As the +10% damage to weak points given by Enhancements affects all the demon's skills regardless of element, this will ensure a +45% on the chosen element and a +30% on the other one (on comparison, a fully-focused Seraph with both an Amp and an Enhancement gets a total of +50% on the chosen element and of 15% on the other one).
  • P4 Michael is a great mate for Seraph in Light Democalypse, as they both give damage boost to the whole party (Michael only to Divine/Heralds) and are both of the Herald race, meaning that you can kick in another Archangel (likely Gabriel), boost their damage and proc their passive, for a stellar amount of damage!
Seth.jpg Seth
Clear Teal Clear Teal 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
  • 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.jpg Shiva
Red Red 4 3 2 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 it patches out his biggest weakness - lack of early Phys Pierce.
  • Great set of Panels, especially Panel 3 which provides insane MP-cost reduction and Panel 4 which gives him Phys Pierce.
  • Has three sets of Drain resistances and no weakness if Teal, making him an ideal teammate for Rama or Demiurge.
  • Pralaya removes Almighty Tetrakarn such as the chain effect from Lord of the Dead. This makes him a good complement for Almighty Physical attackers like Shiva A, who are otherwise walled by it.
Cons
  • Pralaya has a high MP cost and is blocked by Five Elements.
  • No Pierce until Panel 4, requiring a lot of investment.
  • Weak to Ice.
  • Very expensive to fuse. This is also bad since Kartikeya, one of the most important demons for both PvE and PvP, can only be obtained through a Multi-Fusion involving a Clear Shiva, making it difficult to panel them both at the same time.
Notes
Shiva A.jpg Shiva A
Purple Teal Teal Purple 4 4 4 3 1
Pros
  • Third Eye can only be blocked by two demons in the whole game (Griffith and Beelzebub (Human)), going even through Five Elements-like barriers. 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, ST damage and reduced MP cost).
  • Incredible Elemental resistances especially in Teal. All these Elemental Drains make him an excellent partner for Rama and Demiurge - Drain Elec in particular allows him to soft-counter Passionate Rage.
Cons
Notes
Siegfried.jpg Siegfried
Red Red 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 provides 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
Skull Knight.jpg Skull Knight
Purple Teal Teal Purple 3 4 4 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 strategies, 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 Physical, especially in Purple where Master Assassin is already provided.
  • 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.
Sraosha.jpg Sraosha
Purple Yellow Purple Yellow 4 5 5 3 3
Pros
  • His unique Soul Judgement (Sraosha) deals AOE Phys damage whenever an opposing demon dies. This adds to the damage of fast Turn 1 teams and allows him to clear Endures.
  • High base AGI and innate Speedster make him invaluable for fast teams. Panel 2 further increases his Battle Speed.
  • Both Soul Judgement (Sraosha) and Soul Break have innate Pierce, giving him more flexibility over transfers.
  • Death Blow in Purple increases his crit damage. Yellow gives him access to Auto-Sukuka, which can be useful to ensure his attacks do not miss.
  • Being a Herald, he can be used in an Archangels team to great effect.
Cons
  • Weak to Dark.
  • Unimpressive STR means he will need damage transfers to really shine.
Notes
Surt.jpg Surt
Purple Clear Clear 3 3 3 2 5
Pros
Cons
Notes
  • MATK is the stat to boost, as Ragnarok still greatly relies on it for damage. %PATK is recommended as the main sub-stat for brands.
  • 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.
Surt A.jpg Surt A
Any Purple 3 5 5 5 5
Pros
  • Low AGI and Intimidating Stance in Purple makes him a great candidate for slow Intimidating Stance Teams, particularly if combined with Moirai sisters, or with Atavaka to also abuse Repel Fire.
  • Twilight Inferno deals massive damage to the enemy team when he dies, useful against frail T1 teams. This skill will go off even if he is bound on death, revive sealed, etc., there is currently no way to stop it other than killing him last.
  • Eruption deals respectable AOE damage and procs a random-hit AOE chain if the attack is successful, useful for cleaning up Endures and/or demons who survived the initial hit.
  • Panel 2 turns his regular attack into a Single-target Nuke dependant on MATK. Not only does this absolve him of any MP issues, it also gives him an out to Fire Anti-Pierce, as he can just nuke another demon instead.
  • Works well in Battle Tower as the enemy team is forced to either kill him (which procs Twilight Inferno) or deal with extra damage reduction on your MC.
Cons
  • Weak to Ice.
  • Heavily dependant on Panel 2, otherwise he is hard-walled by Fire Anti-Pierce like Demiurge + Ardha, Atavaka + himself/Vairocana etc.
Notes
Susano-o.jpg Susano-o
Purple Purple 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 to 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.jpg Susano-o A
Purple Red Teal Purple Teal 3 3 4 2 5
Pros
Cons
  • No added Accuracy in his kit. Requires extra Accuracy investment from Brands, Panels or skill transfers 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.jpg Thor
Purple Purple 3 2 2 2 5
Pros
  • Mjolnir deals massive damage against single targets, ideal for Bosses and Democalypse. At max level it also refunds 2 MP when used, allowing to be used repeatedly even without Divine brands.
  • Panels grant him a lot of damage, making him an ideal Elec mage especially with Elec Pierce in Purple.
Cons
  • Weak to Force.
  • Megaton Raid and Charge are wasted slots for an Elec Mage build.
  • Random target skills are very hard to use for PvP.
Notes
  • AI is extremely bad on Auto, as Charge will mess him up.
Thor A.jpg Thor A
Purple Purple Teal 2 3 3 2 5
Pros
  • Megingjord provides him Crit Resistance and lessens damage from Physical-type skills, making it one of the few skills that can reduce damage from Almighty Physical skills like Third Eye, Sword of Actuation, etc. Panel 2 further increases this.
  • Thunderous Hammer is a ramping skill that reaches full potential after two casts. At max boost level, it casts a second swing after the first much like Berserk, which is useful for breaking Endures.
  • The sheer BP of Thunderous Hammer, coupled with Elec Amp in Purple, makes him very powerful for Elec Democalypse.
  • Very bulky thanks to innate Life Surge, great HP and VIT stats and the damage reduction from Megingjord.
Cons
  • Weak to Force.
  • Middling AGI and LUK plus no innate hit boosters lead to accuracy issues.
Notes -
Tokisada.jpg Tokisada
Purple Red Purple 4 3 3 2 5
Pros
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, Mahamadyne in Red does not pierce.
  • Needs accuracy investment for PvP, as Amakusa Uprising can miss.
Notes
Trumpeter.jpg Trumpeter
Any Purple 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
Notes -
Tzitzimitl.jpg Tzitzimitl
Any Purple Red 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 strategies 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.jpg Uriel
Teal Purple Purple 4 3 3 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. As it is a chain effect, it doesn't consume Press Turns even when hitting NDR+Anti-Pierce.
  • 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.
Cons
  • Needs a team built around him to work.
  • Chain effects kills demons before they have a chance to talk, making him less useful for Aura Gate.
  • Weak to Dark.
Notes
Vairocana.jpg Vairocana
Purple Yellow Purple Teal 3 4 5 3 1
Pros
  • Radiant Mantra constantly resets all opponents' buffs and allies' debuffs at the start of the enemy turn. When used in a slow team, this allows him to nullify harmful Auto-skills, giving your other demons more flexibility in skill transfers as they don't have to counter them anymore.
  • Good Repel resistances makes him a natural partner for Alilat and Atavaka. Fire and Light Repel is especially useful to counter Archangels 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 effects.
Notes
Vasuki.jpg Vasuki
Purple Red Purple Clear 2 2 2 2 5
Pros
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.jpg Vishnu
Clear Red Red 2 4 4 1 2
Pros
  • Avatar provides him free a Enduring Soul+, while giving him additional MAG and HP from levels. Combined with decent natural bulk and Healing from Panel 1, this makes him a very tanky Mage.
  • Panel 4 provides him a free Megido-proc at the end of your turn, useful for breaking Endures and/or cleanup. In addition, it also gives him free Intimidating Stance which synergizes well with his low AGI.
  • Red gains access to discounted Megidolaon, which is further reduced to 5 MP once Panel 3 is unlocked.
  • Null Bind from Panel 1 ensures his chain effects will always go off. Null Curse from Panel 2 ensures he will always heal for decent amounts, in addition to being immune to Alice A's AOE Mortal.
Cons
  • Weak to Fire.
  • Bufudyne and Holy Wrath are wasted skills for PvP builds, and don't synergize with each other in PvE ones.
  • Lack of Pierce and an Almighty-based kit means he is shut down hard by Five Elements and similar effects.
  • Needs heavy investment in Brands and Panels to be usable in PvP.
Notes -
V☆.jpg V☆
Any Red Yellow 2 2 2 1 1
Pros
  • Griffon-Bolt is very good when combined with Turn 1 teams with lots of Crits passing and generating Press Turns. 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 effects 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.jpg Xi Wangmu
Any Purple 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 the 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
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.jpg Yama
Red Purple Purple 3 3 3 5 4
Pros
Cons
  • Guilty only works on Boss waves, rendering it useless for PvP and most of PvE.
  • Picking Red for AOE means losing out on Dark Pierce.
  • No strong, unique Active to take advantage of his powerful passives. Mudodyne is fairly unimpressive.
Notes -
Yoshitsune.jpg Yoshitsune
Purple Teal Purple Teal 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 has innate 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.jpg Zaou-Gongen
Red Red 5 3 3 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.
Zodd.jpg Zodd
Clear Red Purple 3 3 3 3 1
Pros
  • Rip does AOE Piercing Physical damage and heals him by 50% of the damage dealt. It also refunds 2 MP when maxed, allowing you to spam it repeatedly.
  • Nosferatu increases his damage every turn (up to 50% after 5 turns). This makes him excellent for long, sustained fights, especially since he can heal himself with Rip.
  • Mana Aid in Clear is very useful for PvE, as it ensures he can spam Rip every wave.
  • Very tanky thanks to incredible bulk and Nosferatu providing him a better Enduring Soul. Purple gives him Null Mortal which makes him even harder to kill.
  • Red gives him access to discounted Megaton Raid. Note that it will not pierce without Panel 2 though!
Cons
  • Has accuracy issues due to low AGI and middling LUK.
  • No natural Pierce outside Panel 2 might cause issues when out of MP.
Notes
  • A very useful unit for beginners to cruise through the early parts of PvE.
  • Limited-time Collaboration unit. Nobody knows if he will be rerun.

4 star Tier List

Name Best Archetype(s) PVE PVP Democalypse
PVE PVP Offense Defense Prelim Boss
Abaddon.jpg Abaddon
Teal Yellow Teal Yellow 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.jpg Abaddon A
Red Teal Teal 4 1 1 1 5
Pros
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.jpg Agni
Purple Yellow Purple 3 2 2 5 4
Pros
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
Anubis.jpg Anubis
Purple Purple 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.jpg Anzu
Red Purple Yellow Red 2 2 2 5 3
Pros
  • Decent AGI.
  • 5MP double debuff in Yellow. (also innately has another double debuff)

Cons
  • Force weakness.
  • Low VIT.
  • Underwhelming outside of Democalypse
Notes
Attis.jpg Attis
Clear Clear 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.jpg Azrael
Red Clear Red Purple 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.jpg Beelzebub
Clear Yellow Clear Yellow 3 2 2 5 2
Pros
Cons
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.jpg Beiji-Weng
Red Yellow Teal Red Purple 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.
Beloved.jpg Beloved
Teal Teal 1 1 1 1 1
Pros
Cons
  • Wasn't beloved enough to get panels apparently
  • Weak to Dark
  • No good colors
  • Low AGI and Middling LUK lead to accuracy issues
Notes
  • No panels really hurt him. Use a better demon like Wu Kong instead.
Bishamonten.jpg Bishamonten
Red Red 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.jpg Cerberus
Yellow Yellow 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.jpg Chernobog
Red Purple Red Purple 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
Notes
  • Needs P3 to be viable in PVP otherwise his usefulness is near none.
Dantalian.jpg Dantalian
Purple Teal Purple Teal 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.jpg Dionysus
Clear Clear 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.jpg Fenrir
Purple Red Purple Red 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.jpg Ganesha
Teal Teal 1 3 3 1 2
Pros
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 is passive in most teams he is 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.jpg Girimekhala
Red Red 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.jpg Gucumatz
Teal Yellow Teal Yellow 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.jpg Gurr
Purple Red Purple Red 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.
  • 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.jpg Hanuman
Clear Clear 2 2 2 3 2
Pros
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.jpg Halloween Jack
Clear Clear 3 2 2 2 1
Pros
  • MahaLantine 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
Notes

Hecatoncheires.jpg Hecatoncheires
Clear Teal Clear Teal 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.jpg Hel
Red Purple Red Purple 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.jpg Hell Biker
Purple Teal Purple 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
Helper Frost.jpg Helper Frost
Clear Clear 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
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.jpg Jeanne d'Arc
Teal Yellow Yellow Teal 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 Press Turn is 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.jpg Jikokuten
Yellow Purple Yellow Purple 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

  • His ability is too situational to reliably use in PvP even with Rama
  • Depressing panels

Pros
  • Very high AGI and innate Speedster allow him to play the role of Battle Speed booster.

Pros
Cons
  • Bad AGI.
  • Low VIT.
  • Awkward skills
  • 2 weaknesses.
    • Dark weakness is particularly bad in PVP.
Notes -
King Frost.jpg King Frost
Teal Yellow Teal Yellow 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.jpg Kudlak
Red Purple Red Purple 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 -

Clear Red Yellow Purple Teal 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.

Cons
  • Relies on transfer to excel in damage.

Notes
Long.jpg Long
Purple Yellow 3 2 2 1 2
Pros
  • A good speed stat and mag for a 4*

  • 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.jpg Man Eater
Purple Teal Purple 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.jpg Matador
Red Yellow Purple Red Yellow Purple 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.jpg Mishaguji
Yellow Yellow Purple 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.jpg Nekomata A
Yellow Teal Purple Purple Yellow 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.jpg Neko Shogun
Clear Clear 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.
Notes
  • 84 Mitama (21 of each) is required for P3... and still costs a decent sum of 6 mil mag.
Nidhoggr.jpg Nidhoggr
Teal Purple Purple Teal 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.jpg Oberon
Red Purple Purple 3 1 1 4 4
Pros
  • Top tier MAG stat of 216
  • Has potential in Democalypse even outside his element.
  • Strong mage in early PvE with even skills like Agi and Bufu.
Cons
  • One of the 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.jpg Odin
Red Purple Red Purple 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.jpg Ongyo-Ki
Yellow Purple Yellow Purple 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.jpg Orochi
Purple Teal Purple 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.jpg Pallas Athena
Purple Red 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.jpg Parvati
Clear Clear 1 3 3 1 1
Pros
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.jpg Pazuzu
Yellow Teal Red Yellow 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.

  • Mediarama is MP expensive
  • Purgatory isn't a great offensive skill.
Notes -
Persephone.jpg Persephone
Yellow Teal Yellow 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.
  • Struggles with transfers due to having no innate ways to stop prevent ailments on herself.
  • Not stand out in PvE barring a few bosses.
