Role Summary

Name Best Archetype(s) PVE PVP
PVE PVP Offense Defense
Metatron.jpg Metatron
Red Teal Teal Yellow A C C -
Pros
  • Divine Proxy gives him some bulk, magic damage, Infinite Chakra, and Repel Pierce (plus Concentrate when a party member repels something), making it one of the most loaded unique skills on a fusible demon. Additionally, Teal's Repel Elec synergizes with Repel Pierce.
  • Good HP and VIT stats paired with great resistances gives him decent bulk. This is further improved by his whopping +50 to Vitality in Panel 4, as well as the total +40% Max HP, -40% magic damage, and -20% all damage he gets from Panels.
  • Fire of Sinai is a heavy-hitting random target Almighty attack with Bulwark Pierce and Revive Ban upon kill, making him a supreme option for Hell's Park 100 and Brands of Sin: Deceit 14.
  • Gains discounted Mahamadyne in Red, which is great for Brands of Sin Sloth 10 and 11 farming.
  • Divine Proxy amplifies ALL Magic damage, and Panel 3 does the same but for everyone, making their magic hit even harder.
Cons
  • Very difficult to fuse, only 1 recipe available (Barong + Vishnu). This is particularly bad as he has four panels to work on instead of the regular three.
  • Only random target skills is a disadvantage in PvP, even with Bulwark Pierce. Mahamadyne in Red does not really resolve the problem, and it doesn't Pierce.
  • Full Almighty / non-Piercing kit means he is shut down hard by Five Elements effects, especially from popular demons like Morrighan and Indrajit.
  • Still needs some kind of MP sustain and possibly Panel 1 to cast Fire of Sinai T1 when facing MP drain units such as Camael or Alice A. Camael is also a massive issue for Metatron, as Fire of Sinai costs 5 MP when maxed + Panel 1, meaning he cannot cast it under Spirit Chains (Indignation) unless he has cost reduction from demons like Skull Knight.
  • Attribute affinity down makes Repel Pierce ineffective.
Notes
  • The bonus hits provided by Panel 4 are coded as a different skill from Fire of Sinai and will not inherit effects such as Concentrate.
