Teal Purple Purple 2 1 1 2 1
Pros
  • Good STR and decent AGI and LUK means he will hit hard without much Accuracy issues.
  • Savage Glee, Bloodshed, and panels add up to an impressive offensive boost of 50% Phys damage, 60% crit rate, and 30% crit damage.
  • Blade of Terror deals consistent Fractional damage based on enemies' current HP, unaffected by buffs. It will also bypass the accuracy check since it is a fractional skill.
  • Blade of Terror has high AOE Bind chance when maxed and panel 4 (40 + 20 + 15 + 30 = 105%), and can be used Turn 1 due to its low MP cost (4 MP when max level and panel 2).
  • After the fractional hit and Bind, Blade of Terror follows up with a piercing Phys AoE with 50% crit rate (when combined with the above passives and panels, it has 110% crit rate). As it is a chain effect, you will not lose Press Turns even if you hit into NDR, similar to Atavaka's Enemy Annihilation chain.
  • Blade of Terror also casts Sukukaja and Sukunda if panel 2, helping accuracy and evasion.
  • Panel 4 grants him Charge upon any party member killing an enemy, similar to Zaou-Gongen and Yoshistune's panel 4 effects.
Cons
  • Blade of Terror falls off later in the fight as it is based on Current HP (and is capped against late game targets in PvE).
  • Since Blade of Terror's Phys AoE is a chain effect, it will always use one whole press turn, even if it crits.
  • Weak to Ice unless Teal.
  • Demeter and Maria preventing ailments, along with Demeter's bulwark make Red Rider extremely unsuited for pvp currently.
Notes
  • Buffs and damage boosts only work on Blade of Terror's Phys chain, and not the Fractional damage.
