Pros
  • Solar Flare is a fire magic attack reminiscient of Dragon Blade, doing a strong ST hit and then an aoe follow up. However, both hits ignore endures, and this skill introduces the Remnants mechanic, meaning this skill will always only take half a press turn. No need to crit, no need to hit weakness, this skill will still take only half a press turn. Better yet, at P1 and max level, it costs 4 mp, making MP denial less effective as with Maria or divines, he will always be able to cast it.
  • Light of Elohim is just as loaded of a skill, offering him 35% magic damage, Fire Pierce, buff control every time he casts Solar Flare and at the start of battle, AND a free Maragidyne the first time his team kills a demon each turn, except this Maragidyne also ignores endures.
  • With the third highest magic and third highest agi in the game, along with innate Fire Accele and 40% battle speed from panels, he's fast, and hits hard, meaning you need to take fewer sacrifices to keep a high battle speed and still kill tanky teams.
  • Every single awaken skill is unique to Godly race demons, offering ST revive sealing almighty damage in red, immunity to mute charm and bind in yellow, 25% magic damage in purple, and drain light and dark in teal. Every single one of these skills has a situation where it's useful.
  • Has strong synergy with other demons with damaging chain effects, including even Atropos, where if she can kill a demon, he'll continue the carnage with Light of Elohim
Cons
  • He is fragile, so if the enemy gets to act, he will near certainly be going down.
  • His high agi and battle speed contribution can make him troubling to slot into teams other than turn 1 fast teams.
  • If you do find yourself in a situation without MP to cast Solar Flare, being a magic attack based demon with no panels to transform his attack to elemental can be a liability.
  • While far from slow, a good chunk of his battle speed comes from panels, meaning an unpaneled Elohim can be a speed liability compared to the highest tiers of players/whales.
  • Remnants can be stopped by attacking into a unit with a fire weakness while the opponent has Orcus.
  • The forced Fire AoEs will cause problems against Demeter teams, as it'll cause her to re-cast Bulwarks - in some cases undoing the damage you just dealt.
Notes
  • While he is incredibly powerful in PvE content, he will slow down your clears due to all of his chain effects.
  • He has the exact same agility as Astaroth. Make sure you watch your party setup to manipulate the turn order in the desired manner. Often Elohim into Astaroth is a useful order to make use of Elohim's guaranteed half press turn usage.

ArchPurple.png Transferred Skills Notes:

A must use in fast teams. Insane damage output that can brute force almost any team. Pair with other T1 staples like Astaroth, Vishnu A, etc. to stack buffs/debuffs to ensure Elohim can nuke as hard as possible. Stacking more offensive demons beats bulky slow teams, while adding speedsters can get the jump on opposing fast teams. Yellow protects Elohim from Fafnir + Kabuso + P3 Lilith ailment teams, turning an otherwise mostly bad matchup to a winnable one.
