Role Summary

Yurlungur is a tanky danger noodle with good speed whose primary role is doing his best. With a support ai and innate Mahashibaboo, Yurlungur is forced to use an ailment build or be restricted to manual use. As (arguably) the second-best ailment type behind charm, bind is a valuable utility. Since it is the second best ailment, most demons who can run any ailments effectively (Mother Harlot, Alilat, Samael, Skadi, Kudlak, etc.) would rather be using charm, meaning that the viability of bind users is harder to gauge, since its competition can often be put on the same team with no conflicts. Since Yurlungur also offers Samrecarm utility, we can ignore all demons who would lack the room to use it, a bind skill, and cover their weaknesses at the same time. (Since this would give Yurlungur a niche they don't have) It's also not wise to rely on non-support ai for ailments, so otherwise good ailment users without a support ai like Anubis are excluded. This leaves Alilat, Isis and Mothman as Yurlungur's competition.

Isis has 15 extra luck compared to Yurlungur (and innate Mahamakajam, for better or worse) but 69 less vitality. If we add decent bulk to the list of qualifiers, (which is important for both ailment and Samrecarm users!) we can reasonably exclude Isis.

Below is a table with the stat differences between Alilat, Mothman and Yurlungur.

Stat	Alilat compared to Yurlungur	Alilat	Yurlungur	Mothman	Mothman compared to Yurlungur
Strength	-73	50	123	108	-15
Magic	+66	170	104	89	-15
Vitality	-26	181	207	196	-11
Agility	-12	145	157	154	-3
Luck	+48	181	133	136	+3

As you can see, Yurlungur has superior Vitality and Agility, but is lacking in luck, the most important stat for an ailment user. Alilat has a greater offensive presence, but that isn't particularly important for an ailment user, since they will spend much of their turns and mana inflicting ailments. At first glance Mothman may seem like he only has three luck over Yurlungur, but his purple archetype gives him access to insanity, giving him the equivalent of a luck stat of 176. The only way for Yurlungur to make up the difference between these two is with the insanity skill in his transfer slots, as Alilat cannot run it without giving up either his ailment or Samrecarm, and Mothman already has it (and can't run Madness while covering his weakness and running Samrecarm) Below is a table of ailment chances under these conditions.

Stat	Alilat compared to Yurlungur	Alilat	Yurlungur with insanity	Mothman	Mothman compared to Yurlungur
Ailment Chance	+3.5	90.5	86.5	88	+1.5

With a difference of less than 4% and stats better suited to the job, (along with more nulls/resistances after covering both weaknesses) Yurlungur becomes a viable option with extremely heavy investment, performing well in his narrow role of tanky Bind+Samrecarm user with no weaknesses.
