Pros
  • Insane amount of damage boosts, with 45% from both Force Amp and Hell's Gunner and another 15% in purple, Barbatos will hit hard.
  • Hell's Gunner provides +20% Force damage, and inflicts 1 count of Decay to all enemies at the start of the first turn. This skill also does a 100BP Force attack on all enemies when an enemy is downed or hit with 2 or more counts of Decay, potentially letting Barbatos offer T0 offensive pressure when paired with Mephisto.
    • Hell's Gunner also reduces the counts of Spirit Chains (Intimidation) received by 1, letting his T0 attack not be hindered by Pascal.
  • Fallen Impact is a skill reminiscent of Soul Levy, where it hits once with remnants and inflicts Decay, then hits again to finish the job.
  • Strong awakening skills. Tar Flexi is a good pick for Force democ, with Force Survivor adding extra damage along with an endure.
  • Panels offer reduced MP cost for Fallen Impact, +15% damage aura for the party and extra Force damage plus more HP.
Cons
  • Blanked by faster teams with Idun, as her start of battle fortify is too high for the pair of Barbatos and Mephisto to get rid of, preventing his T0 sweep. Other fast demons with built in damage reduction like Cleopatra can be problematic for his T0 sweep.
  • Almost useless in PVP without a complimentary decay user like Mephisto, Femto or Baphomet A. No use outside of his own T0 structures.
