Pros
  • One of the fastest demons in the game especially when Skanda is maxed, allowing you to hit battlespeed requirements in PvE easily.
  • Skanda provides 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 (approx 8 million mag per copy, 500k of that is unaffected by discounts).
  • Essentially has no role other than boosting battle speed.
Notes
  • Difficult to Panel due to Clear demons only giving 60 spirits.

PvE Builds

Archetype(s)

  • Clear: Can only be clear. Speedster for more speed.

Skill Transfers

Support skills since he's used for his super high speed and Skanda passive.

Support Skills:

  • Autos: Provides buff control. More useful in AG and modern kiwmamis (1 wave only)
  • Solar Prosperity/Downfall: Similar to Autos but 2 in 1. Useful in all PVE content since they activate every 1st turn as long as you go first.
  • Epitome of Swiftness: Boosts team speed further.
  • Offensive Cry: Provides a guaranteed offensive buff swing
  • Acid Breath/War Cry: Used for the DEF reduction. Acid Breath is much better as it also reduces EV/AC so teammates can land hits. War Cry can be used if you want to survive attacks.
  • Agility Amp 1/2/3: Early game/budget option.
  • -Kaja skills: Early game/budget option.

Other/Misc. Skills:

  • Phys Pierce (Weak): Allows him to hit into demons with Phys NDRs so he can crit. Not as useful if used in Hell Gongen.

Brands

  • Stat priorities: Speed%
  • Speed: Boosts team speed even further

Mitama

  1. STR (20): Boosts his damage output.
  2. AGI (20): To boost his accuracy and team speed.
  3. LUK (10): Increases his chances of landing crits and his chances of landing hits.

Build(s)

Going Fast makes me feel alive!
ArchClear.png Transferred Skills Notes:

Fastest demon in the game (if Skanda's skill level is maxed out). Making him a key demon in end game phys teams as they want to end fights quickly and his passive increases team crit rate + accuracy (even more if P3!). Solar Downfall for the 1 turn Acid breath every wave. Offensive Cry for the offensive buff swing especially against bosses with Fast/Auto Luster or Debilitate. You can use any combo of auto/solar skill + manual buff/debuff skill as long as you get an ATK & EV/AC party buff and DEF & EV/AC enemy debuff.

Build(s)

I am Speed!
ArchClear.png Transferred Skills Notes:

Fastest demon in the game (if Skanda's skill level is maxed out). Making him a key demon in T1 teams that want to be as fast as possible. Solar Downfall cancels out SK's passive so Herokado's Kuyo Flash can guarantee the DEF + EV/AC debuff. You can sub it out for any Auto skill of your liking. EoS can be replaced with Agility Amp III. Pairs well with powerful Physical demons especially Asura Lord where their passives combine for a 40% team crit rate boost (60% if they are both P3!).

Crits for days
ArchClear.png Transferred Skills Notes:

Mainly used for his speed + passive. This allows him to crit with Mortal Jihad (P1 to cast it on T1) for chip + producing 1/2 press turns to stretch/maximize your press turns. Phys pierce weak is needed for him to hit demons that NDR Phys or scummy demons with Null Phys as transfer.
