Pros |
- Plague's levels and boosts from panels sum to 70% Force damage before transfers. This combined with Auto-Rakunda in Purple makes him great for Force prelim in Democalypse, just transfer him a Force AoE.
- Casts 100%-chance Poison and 10% HP fractional whenever he uses a Force skill, and at the end of his team's turn. This lets him spam Poison rolls to more-consistently set up Pestilence, without sacrificing damage.
- Pestilence deals 50% HP fractional to poisoned enemies the end of the enemy's turn, putting on pressure to either kill him or cleanse it.
- If panel 2, Pestilence will also cast Rakukaja and Rakunda.
- Panel 4 is very similar to Fafnir's Golden Greed and his own panel 3, greatly enhancing poison damage while increasing bulk against poisoned enemies. If Pale Rider is paired with Fafnir, poison becomes a 35% HP fractional per demon turn, and poisoned foes have to take down two tanky poison boosters instead of one. If they fail to take down Pale Rider in that time, the 50% fractional from Pestilence will likely finish them off.
- Perfect synergy with a set-up based sweeper Nergal. Nergal helps by removing barriers, then casting Weak and Poison. If Nergal's Poison doesn't land, then Pale Rider can still exploit Weak through Force-into-Poison casts or the Poison cast at the end of his team's turn. Poison also triggers Nergal's own Meslamtaea passive to grant party-wide Might, and Nergal's panel 4 immediately casts a Phys AoE enhanced by the Might.
- Good AGI and high LUK allow him to work as an Evade Tank. Panel 3 also boosts his evasion a little.
- Gains Debilitate in Yellow, letting him double as a debuffer.
- Great choice for Celestial Gui Xian, as the boss does not reduce fractional damage.

Cons |
- Weak to Elec unless Teal.
- Ailments generally fall flat in late/endgame PvE because of inflated enemy stats.
- Hard countered in PvP by Ailment Cleanser demons and skills, like Daisoujou or Hecate's Lunar Awakening.
- Pestilence only kicks in at the end of enemy's turn, giving them all the time to cleanse the Poison away or just outright kill him.
- Requires a specific team built around him to really work.
- Ailments are no longer effective with Demeter and Maria, and his chains also are liabilities against Demeter. No longer useful in PVP.
- Due to the Anti-Ailments nature of the current meta, Pale Rider-centered teams are extremely unsuited for random matches.
|
Notes |
- Bosses in Strange Signal are not immune to ailments. For new players, he can be a decent demon to kickstart your Aether farming, since Pestilence's damage is fixed and does not depend on brands or transfers.
