Role Summary

Name Best Archetype(s) PVE PVP Democalypse
PVE PVP Offense Defense Prelim Boss
Mara.jpg Mara
Purple Purple 3 2 1 3 5
Pros
  • Only fusible source of Phys Pierce in Purple (aside from Fafnir, who will be impotent in most situations).
  • High STR and LUK means he will hit hard and crit often.
  • Hell Thrust is very strong against bosses and in Democalypse, especially if he is Panel 3.
  • Meme
Cons
  • Ice Weakness and non-existent bulk makes him go limp at the sight of Ice skills.
  • High MP costs give Mara a big refractory period.
  • Expensive to fuse, will quickly blow through your Magnetite reserves.
  • Requires damage boost transfers to supplement his damage.
  • Middling AGI means he will have accuracy issues and occasionally miss the hole. Also doesn't slot into Intimidating Stance teams well as a result.
  • Due to Mara having no single target besides his regular thrust, Anti-Pierce units like Rama, Alilat and Atavaka are a turn off.
Notes
  • A requirement in Phys PvE teams with Zaou-Gongen to pound through waves and bosses (such as in AG2 Boss Rush and Hells Park 91-99), as Auto-Charge is an incredibly powerful effect.

Build(s)

Thrust King
ArchPurple.png Transferred Skills Notes:

P3 Mara is an accessible boss killer that can melt HP bars with ease. Pair him with P3 Zaou or use in a Hell Gongen team to gain crits alongside his Charge granted from P3. Charge + Rebellion allows Mara to blow his load on a 2nd Thrust to decimate bosses or Titanomachia to sweep. Use Templar Dragon for more Charge damage if needed.
