Pros
  • Decently tanky. Between every skill and panel, he has a potential 150% HP boost, along with having the 4th 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 or if going second. On top of that, after the end of the first enemy turn, it grants Concentrate, allowing him to potentially countersweep.
  • Abyss Flare and Abyss Flame scale off of Mag DEF instead of Mag ATK, while both ignoring endures. Additionally, Abyss Flare has Remnants and Bulwark Pierces. This skill can 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 Null Mortal, Null Bind, up to 650 flat MDEF, more damage reduction in bulwark, along with extra HP and Fire damage.
  • Like Inanna, he removes 1 count of Corrosion on self.
Cons
  • Weak to Ice unless Teal.
  • Not necessarily tanky enough to fully withstand assaults from newer units.
  • While he's strong against T1 teams, he can struggle to be useful against T2 teams.
  • 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 Artemis or Lost Name.
  • His Bulwark is negated by the existence of Bulwark Pierce.
  • Completely and absolutely overshadowed by Vanitas, Inanna and Kuzuryu as MDEF tanks.
