Name Best Archetype(s) PVE PVP
PVE PVP Offense Defense
Cthulhu.jpg Cthulhu
Yellow Purple Yellow Purple C C C -
Pros
  • Very flexible, with Call of R'lyeh offering TWO Intimidating Stance turn removals if he goes second, reducing enemy MP if he goes first along with chip damage, gives him Null Mortal, inflicts Gloom on the opponent at the start of their every turn, and offers a 30% damage boost to enemies afflicted by Gloom
  • As if that weren't enough MP drain, Lost Sanity accurately describes the sanity of the devs at this point, being Megidolaon, an improved Mahamarin Karinon and Mahashibabooon, and a 2 MP removal all in one, all while costing 5 MP at max level?
  • In theme with his kit, Suk Flexi offers different effects depending on whether or not he goes first, furthering his role as a midrange monster.
  • Panels increase his tankiness and almighty damage, while also offering additional buff control and Null Bind, so his chain effect to apply Gloom will always activate.
  • Has a great stat spread, with high Magic, Luck, Vitality, and middling Agi, which suits him perfectly as his kit doesn't care if he goes first or second.
  • Has innate Almighty Survivor for additional survivability and damage.
  • To match Nyarlathotep, he has four Drain attributes, giving him incredible anti-pierce capability when paired with Kalki or Demiurge.
Cons
  • If he goes first, he won't have Gloom on the opponents without Nyarlathotep on your first turn, which is worth considering.
  • Suk Flexi is a skill name so terrible it gives Great Idea or the Slowda skills a run for their money.
  • He does suffer slightly from being a bit of an all rounder, in that he's too fast for a dedicated slow team, while not offering enough to run in a dedicated fast team, as even his MP drain in that case probably won't be enough to keep a T1 team alive if they fail to sweep.
  • Demeter or Camael paired with Maria will essentially make any amount of MP drain pointless.
  • Weak to Light unless Teal, a massive problem in a meta with units like Lugh, Camael and The 6th Angel running around.
  • Not particularly special in PvE where enemies have unlimited MP, and Charm and Bind are virtually impossible to land on high level enemies.

Build(s)

Call of Cthulhu
ArchPurple.png Transferred Skills Notes:

An insanely strong demon. Gloom aids dodge tanks greatly especially when paired with a dodge tank Demiurge, who has Drain Pierce for Cthulhu's 4 elemental drains. This is a generic build to fulfill the role of a damage dealer + double IS + Gloomer. Teal can be ran to not let VishnuA to gain extra turns, if not, run a demon that Drains/Repels Light with Demiurge.

Cosmic Horror
ArchYellow.png Transferred Skills Notes:

A dodge build variant. Suk Flexi + any Lunar Skill will ensure neutral EV/AC buffs on both sides at minimum. You can run Lunar Downfall or Auto-Sukuka/Sukunda to ensure EV/AC buffs are in your favor. Pair with another dodge build demon to really punish Physical teams. Teal can be ran instead to not get punished by VishnuA, but make sure you have other forms of EV/AC buff control.

Official Profile

The original ruler of Earth who arrived on this planet several hundred million years ago according to H. P. Lovecraft's "Cthulhu Mythos". This gargantuan monster stands several hundred meters in height, has a scaly, rubbery-looking body, possesses an octopus-like head, a face covered in feelers, wings like a bat, as well as hands and feet with massive claws. It is even said that Cthulhu's voice resonates like an unholy oboe and is so disturbing that humans who hear it ultimately losing their minds. It slumbers beneath the Pacific Ocean within the sunken city of R'lyeh as it awaits its revival.
