PVE PVP Offense Defense Tournament
Law Hero.jpg Law Hero
Yellow Teal Yellow Teal B A A A
Pros
  • Soul Offered to God grants 70% hp with levels, along with 60% reduction to incoming damage from Physical attacks, with 30% of that being teamwide. Additionally, the opponents will not generate bonus turns when they use ANY Physical attacks, preventing not only critpassing but also even when they strike a weakness.
  • WIP pros, i just needed to vent my frustrations because this guy sucks omega balls
Cons
  • Quite useless in a Magic-oriented meta (as of writing).
    • Order Crest: Law is incredibly situational and seldom triggers when fighting most Magic teams as the most commonly used units, Vanitas, Danu and Heroine do not use Spirit Chains.
    • Additionally, Order Crest: Law does nothing to neuter the damage dealt by the two relevant Physical attackers, Fionn mac Cumhaill and Nuwa as they scale with PATK, not any DEF stat, meaning the double counts of Spirit Chains of Corrosion are worthless.
  • Has no answer to Vanitas aside from the double counts of Spirit Chains of Corrosion, which are hard to trigger without a Physical attacker on the enemy team.
    • Even if he does inflict Corrosion, he still has no source of reverse damage reduction, meaning he will be out of luck if all of his teammates die.
  • Summon Thor-Pale Rider, while on paper being very powerful, is still outclassed by many other demons.
    • Summon Thor consumes a whole Press Turn much like Demonsbane or Arms Dance, which can be useful in some scenarios but is actively detrimental in most. Additionally, it only cleanses one count of Indignation/Corrosion/Suppression and only once per turn, meaning he is very much outclassed by Krishna if you want to cleanse Spirit Chains, who not only has an answer to the Vanitas question, but also cleanses ALL Spirit Chains when using Salvation's Melody.
    • Additionally, it recovers a pitiful 1 MP, which is not much as there are much better options for MP recovery. Additionally, this will cause enemy Armaitis to charge their Order Crest and give your team Spirit Chains of Salvation, which while it grants you a charge for Order Crest: Law, it also hits one of your party members with a 7500 damage nuke.
    • Summon Pale Rider also seems good on paper, and for the most part it is. Except for the part where the 280 BP nuke only hits those with Ailments, which coincidentally Vanitas gains immunity to in Panel 1, meaning it will not get hit by it, nor will any demon with Null Poison. Consider pairing this useless twink with other ailment inflictors such as Cleopatra or Hathor A, but be wary of totally immune demons such as Panel 1 Idun or Vanitas.
  • His options being AoE-only makes him a detriment when fighting Nuwa as it allows her to use her Order Crest more often.
