Role Summary

Name Best Archetype(s) PVE PVP
PVE PVP Offense Defense
Atavaka.jpg Atavaka
Purple Teal Purple 7.5 8 8
Pros
  • While alive, War Aid will prevent pierce skills from going through Repel resistances. Pair him with multiple-Repels Demons (like Asura Lord or Vairocana) or with Phys Repel (like Teal Gogmagog).
  • Intimidating Stance is a very powerful passive for PVP and synergizes with his low AGI.
  • Enemy Annihilation fully debuffs enemies before chaining into a piercing physical AOE sweep. Because the AOE is a chain effect, you will not lose press turns even if it misses and/or hits into Physical NDR, allowing him to spam it without concern.
  • Amazing set of panels that provide him extra damage.
  • Like Alilat, his Repel Pierce ability is perfect for cheesing Aura Gate 2 Boss fights.
Cons
  • Very high MP costs. And compensating with Divine Brands hurts his damage/Bulk.
  • Weak to Ice. A common element in PVP especially in very Offensive Teams.
  • Does not have natural Pierce. This can cause issues with his PVP AI attacking into Tetra Shift and/or Physical NDR when out of MP.
  • The fact the debuff from Enemy Annihilation only lasts 1 turn with high MP-cost makes him unsuitable as a debuffer in PVE unless Panel 2.
