Purple Yellow Purple Teal C F F -
Pros
  • Radiant Mantra constantly resets all opponents' buffs and allies' debuffs at the start of the enemy turn. When used in a slow team, this allows him to nullify harmful Auto-skills, giving your other demons more flexibility in skill transfers as they don't have to counter them anymore.
  • Good Repel resistances makes him a natural partner for Baphomet A and Yggdrasil. Fire and Light Repel is especially useful to counter Lost Name and Metatron M teams.
  • High MAG and Butcher in Purple allow him to function as an Almighty attacker. In addition to dealing Almighty damage, Path of Prominence also applies a mini Luster Candy buff, extending his role as a buff control specialist.
  • Yellow gives him access to discounted Mediarahan, allowing him to function as a decent PvE Healer.
  • Radiant Mantra is very useful for certain PvE content to remove Fast Luster Candy and Fast Debilitate.
Cons
  • Very hard to further boost his damage.
  • Despite wanting to go second to fully abuse Radiant Mantra, his AGI is on the high side.
  • Very high MP costs. Even with maxed Path of Prominence and Divine Brands, he won't be able to spam it consistently unless Panel 2 is also unlocked.
  • Full Almighty / non-Piercing kit means he is shut down hard by Five Elements effects.
  • Completely powercrept in terms of support by most newer units.
