*[[Aztec Pulse]] costs only 5 MP when maxed and does respectable damage when combined with his other passives. The low MP cost also means you can spam it twice with Spell Brands when going second.

*[[Aztec Pulse]] is a strong ramping fire aoe, starting at 120 BP and ramping up to 160, while also casting [[Tarunda]] and [[Rakunda]]. As it gains boost levels, it gains Remnants and [[Endure]] pierce. Additionally, with P4 it will revive a teammate with 50% HP twice.

*[[Ce Acatl]] grants him a free revive once per battle, while refunding the press turn lost from his death. This lets him soft counter fast teams, as anything short of a full team wipe will result in him coming back to life and responding with hard-hitting [[Aztec Pulse]]s.
+
*[[Ce Acatl]] grants him 30% HP, [[Null Mortal]], a free revive twice per battle, while refunding the Press Turn lost from his death, and giving his team a one turn [[Luster Candy]].  This means if a team fails to sweep his whole team, he'll always come back the next turn.
−
*Yellow lets him run a more support-oriented set with discounted [[Recarmdra]]. This synergizes well with [[Ce Acatl]], as it will either guarantee he lives long enough to cast it, or bring him back to life the next turn after being killed from [[Recarmdra]].
+
**Additionally, when he gets a kill, he grants his team a 20% HP Bulwark, heals 30% of their HP, and removes all revive bans.  This gives him decent support utility.
