Pros
  • High AGI and innate Speedster for Battle Speed needs.
  • Automatic Rebellion for himself at the start of his team's turn, and pierce on Spin Dash if he's in Rebellion when using it.
  • Works well against single targets and particularly Democalypse Force Boss, especially since Rebellion lets him crit despite the boss's crit rate reduction.
  • Purple gets Force Boost to improve Spin Dash's damage.
  • Red gets discounted Vorpal Blade, which does respectable AoE Phys damage, especially when in Rebellion. This can result in more-consistent damage than Spin Dash, if fighting multiple targets. Note that it will not pierce, though.
  • Good panels that give additional accuracy, Force damage, and battle speed, as well as a 1-turn Auto-Sukuka.
  • Good synergy with Hell Gongen, which grants pierce to Vorpal Blade, ensures Spin Dash gives itself pierce, and ensures Sonic gets the accuracy boost from his panel 1.
  • No weaknesses.
Cons
  • If he gets a second attack on his team's turn, he won't have Rebellion for it, which then means Spin Dash won't pierce. His middling LUK also means he likely won't crit without Rebellion, either.
  • Average STR.
  • Random-targeting is bad against multiple targets, and downright detrimental in PvP.
  • Panel 3's damage boost is only for Force, so it doesn't affect Vorpal Blade.
  • Difficult to panel due to being an event-exclusive 4★ (need 12 dupes total for panel 3, can't use universal spirits, etc).
  • If you just want a PvE speed demon, consider fusing a Yatagarasu for DPS, or Purple Fenrir for support. They have much better mileage than Sonic.
Notes
  • Limited-time Collaboration unit. Nobody knows if he will be rerun.
