Daisoujou	Any		B	C	C	-
Pros	Preach makes him immune to all status ailments and will inflict Mute on all enemies when a party member gets ailmented or receives a new Spirit Chain. After this chain, he will also apply 1 count of Spirit Chains of Salvation on the enemy with the highest Max HP. Furthermore, when at least one enemy has one type of Spirit Chain, his entire party will receive 30% less damage. This makes him currently the only F2P option that can apply Salvation. This is specifically important as it is one of the few tools that can take down Vanitas in PvP. Cleansing Shout finishes his kit as a cleanser, as it not only removes ailments but also debuffs from all party members. As a plus it will also make Daisoujou recover 1 MP. At first Soul Drain might seem like a wasted slot, but with its MP reduction in P2 and with a one time per turn Salvation application after using it, it becomes a menacing tool. Enduring Soul in Purple allows him to survive a killing blow, making it a beneficial pairing with Danu. Drain Light in Teal can synergize well as an anti-Metatron M measure if paired with Baphomet A. P1 offers a 15% boost to his ailment infliction rate, a 20% party-wide Light damage reduction aura with an additional 50% Light reduction for himself. Additionally to lowering the cost of Soul Drain, P2 offers another 30% damage reduction effect for Daisoujou if at least one enemy has one kind of Spirit Chain. This stacks with his passive, granting him up to a whopping 60% damage reduction. P3 will remove all buffs and inflicts Mute on all enemies after using Cleansing Shout. When Daisoujou is downed, he will remove all debuffs and ailments from his entire party. Aside from the Salvation addition to Soul Drain in P4, it will grant +20 to his Magic and Vitality, and will lower the cost of all skills (except for Physical) by 1 MP.
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, P4, Divine Brands, or a Mana Aid transfer are mandatory for Sloth auto-farming, especially in Red. Overshadowed entirely by Demeter, Maria, Okuninushi, Lugh and Mahamayuri. Poor guy.
Notes	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. As of 2022, he's multi-fusible, but only Common Archetype (Clear) and at an approximate cost of 8 million mag per copy (3 million of that is unaffected by discounts), making it slow and expensive to fully Panel him.
