| Pros |
- The only demon in the game with access to both Drain Pierce and Repel Pierce, Demiurge makes it incredibly easy to outfit your team with Anti-Pierce coverage, shutting down most elemental AOEs.
- To add insult to injury (or in this case more injury to injury), False God triggers an Almighty AOE counter upon a repel, which deals respectable damage thanks to his high MAG stat and boost to almighty damage. This makes him particularly useful versus demons like Atropos and Guan Yu who are rather forced into their AOE spells.
- Supreme Creator provides a team-wide heal upon a drain, which can be useful if run in bulky sustain teams. It also passively reduces the MP cost of all his skills by 1 MP, giving you more flexibility in brands.
- Null Mortal in Purple makes him the only Anti-Pierce demon in the game who is immune to Mortal effects.
- Red grants him access to discounted Ars Magna, a powerful single target Almighty attack.
|
| Cons |
- Does nothing against Almighty and Fractional damage, both of which are extremely common in higher tiers of PvP.
- Stiff competition from Atavaka, who not only has Repel Pierce but also the extremely useful Intimidating Stance passive in Purple.
- Difficult to build optimally as he wants both damage and bulk/evasion; focusing on one will cause the other to suffer as a result.
|
| Notes |
- He can be cheesed with Black Rider - hit into a Drain and watch his entire team lose half their HP.
- Comboes well with piercing attackers that drain or repel their own attacking element, who proceed to purposely hit into Repel Pierce. For example, if Hecate (with a Demiurge teammate) fires off Hell's Trivia into Atavaka + Angra Mainyu, the repelled hit will proc Hecate's own Dark Repel, which will in turn procs Demiurge's False God passive.
- Only demon with NDR coverage in every element in Teal, extremely powerful for early-mid PvE. He has to keep his Null Phys Premium Skill, though.
- He can cast Invasion during the Democalypse Boss Phase, providing you a one-turn Offensive Cry. It only lasts one turn though, so he will need to repeatedly waste turns casting it, making it an average tech at best.
