Red Purple Red Purple A C C - -
Pros
  • Immensely tanky. Between every skill and panel, he has a potential 130% HP boost, along with having the 2nd highest VIT in the game. Additionally, Demonic Flame's Aid also reduces Magic damage received by 40% and grants Fire Pierce, while additionally giving him a 1500 HP bulwark up to 4 times per battle when hit by Magic or Fractional damage. On top of that, after the end of the first enemy turn, it grants Concentrate, allowing him to countersweep.
  • Abyss Flare and Abyss Flame uniquely scale off of Mag DEF instead of Mag ATK, while both ignoring endures. Additionally Abyss Flare has Remnants. This skill can easily counter sweep a T1 team combined with his Concentrate if he survives.
  • Low AGI at 116 and innate Epitome of Endurance really solidify his role as a powerful tank.
  • Less competition for Brands compared to your other demons, as he relies on MDEF for damage.
  • Extremely powerful panels that give him nearly everything he needs, granting Null Mortal, Null Bind, up to 650 flat MDEF, more damage reduction in bulwark, along with extra HP and Fire damage.
Cons
  • Not even he is necessarily tanky enough to fully withstand assaults from demons like The 6th Angel, The 10th Angel and Morrighan due to the sheer damage they deal.
  • While he's strong against T1 teams, he can struggle to be useful against T2 teams, especially those reliant on Phys damage.
  • Abyss Flare has really low BP when compared to current Meta demons.
  • Only defends against Bind, and can be vulnerable to being Muted or Charmed.
  • Panels are a pretty big deal with how powerful they are, meaning he requires a hefty investment.
  • Requires brands that balance between HP and Mag DEF in order to optimize his tankiness.
  • Hard countered by any attackers that do Physical damage like Camael or Lost Name.
  • His Bulwark is negated by the existence of Bulwark Pierce.
