Yellow Yellow S S S S
Pros
  • Golden Age's Ruler bestows Saturnus with Fire Pierce, immunity to Bind and Mute, a 50% boost to his HP, a 100% Critical hit rate, and will reduce incoming Spirit Chains of Corrosion counts by 1. To solidify his role as a flex unit, he increases his party's hit rate and damage dealt by 20% and makes them receive 40% less damage, while at the same time making enemies receive 20% more damage. Additionally, whenever he uses any Fire skill, he will give his party an additional Press Turn Icon.
  • His Super Reaction will fully heal him when he receives the first Magic attack in a battle, and everytime he is hit with Magic he will inflict Bind and Mute with a 80% chance on the instigating enemy.
    • This allows Saturnus to work as an anti-Metatron M T0 team, as he will heal the first hit, and will immediately Bind and Mute Metatron, preventing him from firing off his 2nd hit.
  • Like Peri, Saturnus also boasts additional exclusive effects in any Brands of Sin 14 Stage. He mirrors Peri's additional 25% chance to add a item drop, and makes all enemies receive a nasty 40% more damage from Physical attacks.
  • Shooting Star of Golden Flames is a single-target 250BP Fire attack that pierces Bulwarks, grants a 15% HP Bulwark to his party, and then proceeds to put Saturnus in Charge and Might. This attack scales off PDEF, allowing Saturnus to fully invest in his bulk without needing to forego damage.
  • His passive and active allow him to act as the perfect Wrath 14 bot, as he will make Arioch take 40% more Physical damage, Bulwark his team and reduce damage received to ensure that they won't die to his onslaught, but will also deal INSANE amounts of damage thanks to his Charge and Might applications. Combined with an Oumitsunu, they can both easily clear the stage in under 5 minutes.
  • Flare Impact in Red allows Saturnus to help clear Deceit 14, Master Assassin in Purple increases his overall damage, and Null Ice in Teal helps block his weakness. However, Golden Blessing in Yellow is his best as it allows him to endure thrice with 1 HP, restores 1 MP to all party members after he uses his active, and inflicts a 100BP Fire attack that reduces 1MP on all enemies the first time he dies in battle.
    • With his innate Fire Survivor, this gives Saturnus up to 4 endures if Yellow, making him really hard to take down without multi-hits or Endure pierce.
  • Good set of panels that offer a 1MP reduction to all Fire skills with a 20% HP boost in P1, and an extra 20% boost to his Fire damage and HP in P3. P2 is the best as it gives him immunity to Charm, a flat 500 boost to his PDEF, and casts a Luster Candy whenever his active is used.
Cons
  • Weak to Ice unless Teal.
  • No Null Mortal.
Notes
  • His Press Turn generation will activate even if his Fire attack misses or is NDR'ed.
