PVE PVP Offense Defense Prelim Boss
Asura Lord.jpg Asura Lord
Red Purple Purple Teal 5 3 3 5 3
Pros
  • Incredibly high ST damage that also generates Press Turns thanks to his high Crit Rate.
  • Passively increases your team's Crit Rate and Crit Damage through Endless War. Pairs very well with Kartikeya, as their combined passives will give your team a whopping +40% boost to Crit Rate.
  • Slaughter All can only be blocked by two demons (Beelzebub (Human) and Griffith) and ignores Endure-type skills, allowing you to delete any demon he claps. It is also very useful to clean up any remaining enemies (usually bosses) after your AOE demons have unleashed their payload, notably BoS Deceit Metatron.
  • Red gives him a powerful AOE in Gigantomachia. Combined with his innate Great Aim and Pierce in Endless War, this makes him a terrifying sweeper.
  • Good repel resistances makes him a natural partner for Alilat, Atavaka, Kalki, or Demiurge.
  • With panels, he offers his team a total of 60% critical hit rate, helping out teams like Hachiman Democalypse prelim teams. With Endless War also offering Tarukaja and Rakunda, he's a natural pairing for him.
Cons
  • Hard to raise Slaughter All's damage further as it is of the Almighty element.
  • High MP cost mandates the use of Divine Brands if Panel 2 is not unlocked, which can slightly reduce his damage potential.
  • Middling AGI makes him slightly awkward to fit in fast or slow teams.
Notes
  • Red also helps against Beelzebub (Human), as it gives Asura Lord a way to keep doing significant damage despite Lord of the Dead's barrier. Beware of Anti-Pierce, though!
