Walpurgisnacht			B	S	S	-
Pros	Extremely bulky with Null Mortal, top-20 vit, up to 110% innate HP boosts, 25% damage reduction when weak point is hit, a 100% HP bulwark for 2 turns at start of battle, and most-scarily, 100% damage reduction while under Bulwark. If this reduction is not counterplayed, she can be effectively invincible for those 2 turns. Two repels can synergize well with anti-pierce from demons like Yggdrasil. Reducing her affinities to weak may actually make her bulkier, as opponents would then be forced to hit into the 25% reduction. This stacks additively with the 100% reduction from the Bulwark, meaning she can have 125% reduction. This is very effective at countering demons with Attribute affinity down such as Homura Akemi and Metatron M Panel 2 gives her a fortify stack, increasing her bulk further. Very slow, and has double Intimidating Stance as well as an automatic defensive buff swing, allowing her to fit well into slow teams. Has 15 MP max, and panel 2 also has her recover 4 MP at start of battle, so MP drain strategies and Spirit Chains (Indignation) may not be very effective in stopping her. Immune to Bind, as well as Mute and Charm if panel 1, again making it difficult to stop her. Her unique has Remnants, Bulwark Pierce, ATK + DEF debuffs, and has a pursuing chain against the weakest foe if she uses it during a bonus turn. This skill's damage is dependent on her HP, allowing her to build for bulk and damage simultaneously. Purple boosts her damage output, while Yellow can offer more buff control in PvP if her defensive buff swing won't be enough.
Cons	Bulwark-removal effects (such as from Loup-Garou or Madoka Kaname) will fully negate her 2-turn invulnerability. Alternatively, reverse damage reduction (such as from Mithras or Botis) can partially negate the damage reduction, as they share a bracket in the damage formula. Does not have any way to restore her bulwark after it wears off. Consider pairing her with demons like Madoka Kaname or Demeter to keep her Bulwark topped off. Vulnerable to Decay, which can simultaneously cut her bulk and make her unique skill weaker. It won't reduce the size of her Bulwark, though, as that will always use her original HP.
Notes	Teal covers her weakness, but that might actually be bad, as she then won't get the 25% damage reduction when that weakness is hit. Damage reduction does not affect fractional damage, so she will take the full brunt of those attacks. However, fractional damage also doesn't have Bulwark Pierce, so you'd still have to manually wear down her Bulwark before you can touch her HP. This combined with most Fractional effects having generally low damage caps means that it may take too long to break her Bulwark for a fractional damage strategy to be be practical.
