PVE PVP Offense Defense

Purple Purple Teal Clear D F F -
Pros
  • One of the best demons to fuse early on for pve. 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.
  • Very flexible kit. He can be either a Phys or a Force demon. Innate Savage Glee paired with Panel 4's accuracy and damage boost, as well as Gae Bulg hitting hard, makes him a great option for Phys Democalypse.
  • A whopping 100% accuracy in his panel 4 (140% if you're attacking with maxed out Gae Bulg), making him one of the best fusible Phys attackers.
  • Has a niche as a budget demon for BoS Deceit 14, as enemies there will only take damage from random Phys/Almighty attacks, which Gae Bulg happens to be.
Cons
  • High MP costs. Cannot use Mazandyne or Gae Bulg Turn 1 in PvP unless Panel 3.
  • No Phys Pierce until panel 4.
  • Low AGI and LUK means his physical accuracy is poor until Panel 4 is unlocked.
  • No Single-Target attack means he will have trouble against Anti-Pierce.
  • Since Gae Bulg is random-hitting, it isn't the most reliable Phys spell for pvp.
  • Does nowhere near enough reliable damage to have a role in modern PvP.
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.
  • If run as a Phys attacker, transferring a better AOE Phys spell like Vorpal Blade isn't a bad idea, as he offers an impressive 100% physical accuracy in panel 4, innate Savage Glee, and another 20% crit rate from panel 1. With panels and Phys Amp / Butcher transferred on his other skill slot, whatever AOE Phys spell you transfer will hit hard as well as his own Gae Bulg.

PvP Builds

Concentrate PvP Offense Slow Team Build
ArchPurple.png Transferred Skills Notes:

Going second in PvP and wearing Divine Brands gives Cu Chulainn exactly enough MP to cast a 6 MP Concentrate on his first action and a 7 MP Mazandyne on his second. This build is also effective in PvE content as well. (If you don't have Force Amp, Force Boost is an acceptable substitute.)

Physical Sniper!
ArchClear.png Transferred Skills Notes:

With the current meta of very dodgy units, his 100% accuracy can come in real handy to counter said units. When fully paneled, Vorpal Blade will only cost 5 mp, making it very spammable. Gae Bulg will also cost 5 mp and could definitely work for pvp in cases where there arent many enemies left on the field as its 50 base power per hit and the 45% crit rate from Savage Glee and panel 1 means he will hit hard. Increasing his accuracy further with brands will make him even more overkill. Rebellion can be useful if youre up against stacked crit resistance.
