Pros	Demons are Revive Sealed when they are killed by Lord Astaroth, letting him be a hard counter to revive teams that don't have Maria or Ouroboros. When enemies die, he offers powerful buff control, swinging both attack and evasion buffs and debuffs in his team's favor. In addition to this, the first time an enemy dies, he gives his team a press turn, allowing for tons of press turns when partnered with demons like Zeus, Cleopatra, Pascal or Camael. Lord Astaroth has high damage, doing 250 damage total with bonus crit rate. The second hit can also be used to check evasive targets without risking press turns. With max skill level and panel 1, its cost can be reduced to 4 MP, meaning when paired with Apsu or Kalki, he can use it every turn even with War brands. Commonly used as bait for Camael's Spirit Chains (Indignation), as he has Phys Pierce and is hit less hard by the inability to use his attacks. This is currently his strongest use, boosting team speed while also offering a press turn, buff control and redirecting Spirit Chains onto himself in order to allow other demons to do their jobs more effectively. He has 100% crit rate built right into his kit, meaning unless he's against Epitome of Fortitude or Wild Instinct, he's essentially guaranteed to crit. With top 10 AGI in the game, and 70% battle speed built into his kit with 20% more in panels, he's going to make your teams quite fast. Amazing panels, with the aforementioned MP reduction in P1, a huge party crit rate and hit rate buff in p2, and even more speed and damage in p3 Amazing awaken skills, offering AoE MP drain, buff control, damage, or Repel Phys, depending on what you need.
Cons	Red's awaken skill Cleaving Aura, while a great MP drain skill, performs poorly in the current meta. Kalki's and Femto's unpiercable Drain/Repel Phys respectively makes the move unusable when facing him. On defense, Astaroth's AI will also use Cleaving Aura to attack into NDR, limiting his own team's actions. T1 teams built with him have to choose between speed, or being able to deal with the bulk of Idun and Bulwark teams, meaning randoming can be risky. His damage has fallen off, and he often now is more used for his supportive effects and as Camael bait. Constantly chains effects, slowing down PvE clear times. No innate Mara

	Transferred Skills		Notes: Another T1 team's wet dream. Even faster and stronger than Koga, has access to revive seal, +70% speed increase, godly crit rate and accuracy and can provide more offensive pressure with Kuyo Flash debuffs and extra Press Turn generation when a demon dies (extra PT is only once per battle). Speedster can be ran for a faster team if needed. Red can be useful for sweeping and provides good defensive utility with MP burn. Divines + P1 provides infinite Lord Astaroths if needed. Accuracy boosters and Aim brands can be more impactful if facing tons of dodge tanks.

Official Profile

One of the 72 demons of the Goetia. A beautiful fallen angel said to be a duke of Hell. He appears in the form of a prince riding a dragon and leads an army of 40 evil spirits, and it is also said that he can see both the past as well as the future. Originally he was the goddess Astarte in Phoenicia, or modern-day Syria, but became warped into his current form by the Judeo-Christian God. In Christianity, he is a fallen angel that lures men into leading indolent lives.
