Purple Purple D F F
Pros
  • He is essentially an entire Ailment Team neatly packaged into one demon. Not only does Bohemian-- err Bemusing Rhapsody remove Barriers, it also has a high chance of inflicting Charm and Curse, while only costing 5 MP to cast.
  • Deadly Melody autocasts two random buffs and debuffs every time ailments land, allowing you to repeatedly swing buffs in your favor especially when paired with other ailment demons like Lilith A and Angra Mainyu. This is very powerful with Panel 2 unlocked, as it gives your teammtes increased damage against Cursed and Charmed units.
  • Panel 3 reduces ailment cure rate by 25%. This is incredibly strong as it ensures Bind and Charm will always last a turn (as long as they don't have increased recovery).
  • Panels 1 and 3 give him increased Battle Speed, allowing him to act as a Speedster.
  • Innate Epitome of Madness and Insanity in Purple, combined with Bemusing Rhapsody's high ailment base chance means he is almost guaranteed to land his ailments, allowing you to forego ailment infliction for other brand stats like Speed instead.
Cons
  • Panels are mandatory on him, without them he is a rather mediocre ailment unit.
  • Stiff competition from Motoko Kusanagi who is also pretty much a standalone (heh) ailment package on her own. In a vacuum, Bind and Mute are arguably more useful ailments, and Motoko has the advantage of being fully useable without Panels.
  • Hard-countered by Ailment immunity, most notably Demeter, Maria, and Panel 2 Beelzebub☆.
Notes
  • While Bind and Mute might be more powerful on their own, Charm and Curse have more abuseable combos, most notably Lilith A, Alice A and to a lesser extent Panel 3 OG Lilith.

Build(s)

Haunting Rhapsody
ArchPurple.png Transferred Skills Notes:

Provides crippling ailments and buff control for fast teams. Pair him with demons like Angra and Wilith to get multiple buffs and debuffs applied to ensure buffs swing in your favor. No ailment modifiers and Sick brands are used since his base kit already gives him a ton of ailment infliction rate alongside Bemusing Rhapsody's high infliction rate, instead team speed boosters are ran to make the team as fast as possible, especially with his P1&3.
