Pros
  • Archangel's Revelation casts a 1-turn Luster Candy and Tetraja, then grants his team a large Bulwark at the start of every own turn. Additionally, he will lower all enemies' Light Affinity by 3 levels for 1 turn. This is unprecedented for a fusible and does not have a battle limit!
    • As a bonus under Tetraja, his team will take -20% damage from enemies' random-targeting skills.
  • Soul Judgement deals massive damage against single targets, ideal for bosses and Democalypse. If panel 2, it also generates an extra press turn icon (once per turn). It is also incredibly useful for Sloth 14 as it Bulwark Pierces while healing his party for 15% of their HP and casts a 1-turn Debilitate.
  • While he has pretty mediocre MAG stats, Panels 1, 2, and 3 help to offset this by providing +75% to his overall damage output.
  • Panels 1, 2, and 3 increase his Battle Speed by 90% in total, allowing him to act as the team's Speedster particularly for Archangels or for a slow Sloth 14 team.
  • Panel 3 confers Light Pierce and a 15% damage increase to all Herald and Divine demons in the party. This is very useful, as most demons of those races have Light spells, but several don't have Light Pierce (specifically Mastema pre-P4, Red Metatron, and demons 4-star or below).
  • Panel 4 provides an extra single hit to a random enemy after Michael activates any random skill (mostly used for Soul Judgement). This also chains with itself, meaning it triggers twice. This is great for finishing off Endures or a low HP enemy.
    • This being a separate chain from Soul Judgement also means that Mithras or Metatron M's light damage chains will trigger twice whenever Michael casts his skill.
  • Very good set of resistances, especially in Teal.
Cons
  • Weak to Dark unless Teal.
  • Expensive to fuse (only 5+5 fusion paths are available).
  • No innate Light Pierce (before p3) can cause trouble in PvP when going against Attribute Affinity Reinforcement demons, such as Baphomet A.
    • This is worsened by Soul Judgement being a random target skill, which is a liability against such teams. Red's Thunderclap can help a little, but it lacks Bulwark Pierce.
  • Not great transfer or awakening skills. Red is not suited for Democalypse boss, since it may cause his AI to use Thunderclap instead of Soul Judgement, resulting in less damage output.
Notes
  • The bonus hits provided by Panel 4 are coded as a different skill from Soul Judgement and will not inherit effects such as Concentrate.
  • Michael is effectively a straight upgrade from Barong in terms of fusible supports. Synergizing with this, both demons prefer Teal, and Michael's cheapest fusion path is Barong + Ishtar. Newer players can consider making a Teal Barong, using him to progress (but not investing into him too heavily, i.e. no panels, evolving, or skill levels), then fusing the Barong with a Clear Ishtar to get a Teal Michael.
