Role Summary

Name Best Archetype(s) PVE PVP
PVE PVP Offense Defense
Raphael.jpg Raphael
Teal Purple Purple B B B -
Pros
  • Very effective cleanser for Sloth 14 - his Tailwind cleanses the party's ailments, plus he's immune to Bind, Charm, and Mute, ensuring he cannot be stopped from using it. Tailwind also pierces Bulwarks, letting him contribute to damage dealt.
  • Tailwind will also revive one fallen ally at random with 50% HP up to 6 times, given that he is not afflicted with Suppression. The revive effect becomes more threatening the more Archangels are on your team.
  • P1 increases his overall damage dealt, while P2 lowers the Force affinity of all enemies by 1 level if there are 3 or more Divine/Heralds alive on your team.
  • P3 grants a 40% Light/Force damage boost to Divine/Herald party members, as well as an additional Press Turn to the team whenever Raphael is revived from a demon skill.
  • P4 deals a little extra damage and gives him Concentrate when entering a boss battle.
Cons
  • If using him for anything other than cleansing, he'll need a team built around him to work well.
  • God's Blessing does not deal damage, unlike Uriel and Gabriel's passives.
  • Panel 4 only works against bosses, making it useless in PvP. This, combined with the high cost of P4, makes it a very questionable investment.
  • His healing, DEF buff, and ATK debuff chain effects are all defensively oriented, however he is somewhat fast and lacks bulk - a role mismatch.
  • Weak to Dark unless Teal.

ArchTeal.png Transferred Skills Notes:

He provides passive healing for Archangels and plus DEF buff and ATK debuff if P2, acting as a good defensive support. However, he isn't needed in Archangels and doesn't need to be ran.
