Hell Gongen PvP Offense without Panel 3
ArchTeal.png Transferred Skills Notes:

Without Panel 3, Hades Blast is needed against Intimidating Stance teams. With Panel 3 active, Vorpal Blade costs 5 MP, making Hades Blast unnecessary and opening up room for a single target attack, such as Fatal Sword L, Berserker God, or God Hand from Red archetype. It can also let you use War brands instead of Divine.
