This page aims to index standard team compositions used in both PVE and PVP, with sample teams for quick reference. For an in-depth guide on the team, click on the Main Article below each section.
Teams in this page are sorted by Alphabetical order.
Glossary: Defense PVP refers to the team when used as a so-called "Defense Team". Offense PVP is the team you use to attack "Defense Teams". And Random Battle PVP is when you do a Random Battle.
PVP Ranking also gives lists of Top Tier Teams.
Ailment Team
Main Article: Ailment Team
An Anti-Meta Team, Ailments are very strong but easily countered by Clerics. This makes them easy targets for revenging. However they are very good 'landmines' to catch players doing Random PVP as they have a very high winrate against teams with no ailment counters. These teams have been around since the very beginning and will never go out of fashion as a result. They are also a great team to revenge Defense Teams without Clerics.
Archangels
Main Article: Archangels
Uriel, Raphael and Gabriel possess passives that trigger attacks at the start of each turn when they are together. These teams aim to decimate the opponent in the very first turn via a combination of their passive skills and strong Magic attacks.
One of the strongest "Turn 1 Team". Despite this, many Top Tier teams have such a high defense that they usually hard counter Archangels. It makes Archangels a very risky team to use for Random Battle PVP in higher rank. It is however a reasonable Defense PVP Team especially in low Diamond rank and below.
Asherah Midrange
Main Article: Asherah Midrange
One of the most (if not the most) popular choice for Random Battle PVP in the highest PVP rank. These teams use Asherah as their main support because of the incredible power of the most powerful Resurrection spell of the game: Mother's Creation. Very flexible the team has no fixed strategy and can adapt depending on the opponent.

Drain Teams
Main Article: Drain Teams
An Anti-Meta team that preys on the Pierce (especially Phys Pierce) infested Metagame. Rama's Drain Pierce passive negates Pierce on Drain resistances, protecting you from sweeps while you counterattack. This is a reasonable high Tier strategy that keeps getting more support from Sega's new demon releases.

Hell Gongen
Main Article: Hell Gongen
Extremely potent team in middle PVP rank (Gold and below) especially for Defense PVP. Alas, it gets hard-countered by the more defensive teams in higher rank.
It is a physical-focused Team that abuses Crits for extra Press Turns while doing insane damage. The core of the team is Hell Biker who can grant Rebellion (guaranteed Crit) to all allies, and Zaou-Gongen who provides Phys Pierce to every demons with the Rebellion buff.
As Rebellion and Charge carry through waves in PVE, it is possible to stack both of these before a Boss Wave and unleash your full payload on the Boss. This results in heavy damage and can be used to brute force most PVE content, and even some earlier Kiwamis.
Hero Masakado T1
Main Article: Hero Masakado T1
One of the strongest team but also a very expensive one, these teams abuse Masakado A's Guardian of the East passive to generate an extra Press Turn going first, and aim to annihilate the enemy Turn 1. The team has incredibly high damage output and can break open even the most defensive teams! It has single-handedly warped the PVP Metagame and changed the way players configure their teams and demons, especially for Random PVP.

Intimidating Stance Teams
Main Article: Intimidating Stance Teams
A slow team that aims to go second and win on the counterstrike. These teams have been around since the beginning of the game, a testament to its strength and longevity. Even to this day, it is still a high Tier strategy. They can also be built purely using fuseables, making them a popular F2P team. Though, beyond low Diamond, the team requires Masakado.

Mortal Team
Main Article: Mortal Team
High Tier Team for Offense PVP. But also a very expensive one requiring fully paneled non-fusable demons such as Alice or Masakado. A bit less suited as a Defense PVP Team because of the AI.
The team abuses Mortal effects, which instantly kills a demon regardless of HP. These teams forgo offensive stats for bulk, choosing to kill the opponent via Mortal instead.
Parvati Team
Main Article: Parvati Team
Semi Anti-Meta team designed to counter Intimidating Stance Teams. This team can be built purely using fuseable demons alone, and is a good budget option for players without banner-exclusive powerhouses. It is a very good team to build if you managed to pull Shiva A. Advancing in very high Diamond (close to Legend) may be difficult with such a team, though.
Repel Team
Main Article: Repel Teams
An Anti-Meta team that preys on the Pierce (especially Phys Pierce) infested Metagame. Compared to Drain Teams, it is a lot more F2P-friendly and can be built using fuseables alone. Repel Pierce passive negates Pierce on Repel resistances, protecting you from sweeps while you counterattack. These teams will easily carry you through Gold rank, competing in higher Diamond though will require banner units like Atavaka and Vairocana.
