Role Summary

Name Best Archetype(s) PVE PVP Democalypse
PVE PVP Offense Defense Prelim Boss
Koga Saburo.jpg Koga Saburo
Purple Purple 4 5 4 5 3
Pros
  • Dragon of Defense passively increases his accuracy and provides a full Agile Cry buff swing, which greatly helps him (and his allies) land hits.
  • Soaring Blades is a multi-hitting Force (Physical) ST nuke that chains into another multi-hit Force AOE. Not only does it hit incredibly hard thanks to high base crit rate (50%) and innate Force Amp in Purple, it's also very spammable thanks to a low MP cost of 5.
  • High base AGI and increased Battle Speed from Panel 2 make him invaluable for fast teams. Transfer Speedster if you need even more zoom!
  • Force Anti-Pierce is very rare in the current meta, allowing him to sweep with impunity. Even on the rare occasion you do encounter Force Anti-Pierce, you can simply cast Soaring Blades on another demon that does not Drain/Repel it - even if the chain AOE is Anti-Pierced, it won't consume Press Turns due to it being a chain effect.
  • Has pretty much the perfect stats for a glass cannon T1 sweeper - top tier AGI, STR and high LUK.
Cons
  • Weak to Ice, though admittedly this is less of a concern for T1 teams.
  • Loses turns if he misses even 1 of 4 ST Soaring Blades strikes. Missing on the AOE is fine though, as missed chain effects won't consume Press Turns.
  • Very frail, needs an Endure-type transfer (preferably Force Survivor) to reliably survive Moirai sister comps.
Notes
  • He is nigh unusable without Panel 2 in Democalypse, as Soaring Blades only has 3 charges by default. Unlocking Panel 2 increases this to 6, which is just enough for a Prelim team, or a non-Mot team for Boss.
  • Has AI issues when used on defense - AI will usually target demons with high HP instead of trying to kill off frail demons. This can be very devastating if he decides to go for evasive demons like Angra Mainyu.
