Pros	Very good in ailment teams, as Pestilence will kill any enemy after 2 turns, no questions asked. Allows the rest of your Ailment team to focus on bulk and infliction rates instead of damage. Perfect synergy with a set-up based sweeper Nergal. Nergal helps to remove any barriers and ensures Plague's poison can land via Weak, which in turn triggers his own Meslamtaea passive. Works especially well with Alice to assassinate their Ailment Cleanser with Die for Me! Very effective as a random PVP defense to catch teams without ailment cleanse. Decent magic stat means lets him deal damage while his targets are incapacitated. Gains the strongest debuff Debilitate in Yellow, letting him double as a debuffer. Very useful since Plague will automatically poison enemies at the end of the turn.
Cons	Ailments generally fall flat in late/endgame PvE because of inflated enemy stats Hard countered by Ailment Cleansers like Daisoujou or Kinmamon in PVP. Pestilence only kicks in at the end of enemy's turn, giving them one whole turn to cleanse it away or just outright kill him. Requires a specific team built around him to really work. P1 and P2 don't contribute to the Ailment build. Not obtainable through the general gem banner or the summon files.
