Pros	Omniscience and Omnipotence downgrades the enemy's Elec resistances by 2 stages - meaning that anyone who doesn't NDR Elec is now Weak to Elec. This also completely shuts down anti-pierce for Elec. Keraunos downgrades Elec resistance by 1 stage, and stacks with the above effect, up to a cap of 3 stages. 3 stages guarantees the enemy is now Weak to Elec. This skill also ignores counters and endures, Revive Bans the enemy if it kills, and attacks 2 separate times per cast, potentially landing 2 kills. With maxed skill level and Panel 1, it only costs 4 MP. Panel 2 increases his team's accuracy and damage against weak points, and his innate Wretched Blow increases his own damage against weak points. Further, he casts a 100BP AoE when any party member hits a weak point, and generates a press turn (once per turn). These effects are all extremely valuable in Democalypse. Automatically casts a 100BP ST attack at the start of the enemy's turn. This can chain into effects such as Hachiman's Jingu's Divine Light, potentially offering a lot of offensive pressure before the enemy can act. This ST attack can help counter Bulwarks on the enemy team, as their Bulwarks will wear off at the start of their turn - leaving their HP bars exposed. All of his colors have a use, but for general purposes Purple is best. Trivializes a lot of PvE content, due to opening up an Elec weakness where normally a weakness would not exist. Hell's Park 100 is a prime example of this, where King Frost's anti-pierce Null can be bypassed by reducing his Elec resistance to Neutral or Weak, letting an Elec team sweep the fight with ease.
Cons	Weak to Force unless Teal. No crit rate support in his kit (aside from Rending Thunder). The AoE upon hitting a weak point is counter-productive against Demeter, as it will cause her to re-cast Bulwarks on her team. Additionally, it doesn't prevent counters, which can lead to Zealous Rebel Chi You killing him on his own turn.
Notes	Elemental resistance down does not work in Democalypse. For manual play, the 100BP ST at start of enemy turn will hit whoever your cursor is on. On Auto and/or Defense however, you are at the mercy of the AI for who he hits. If building him for Democalypse, try to transfer a "Rending <element>" skill (for Prelim) or an "<element> Slash" skill (for Boss) to make use of his PATK. These skills are only available through events, though - so if you don't have them, you may have to run a magic skill instead.
