## Hero Guide

### Pros

* High damage, pierce rate, critical chance, and critical damage
* Infect blocks out any enemy unit healing as long there isn't any unit with cleanse or immunity
* Works well in all teams but unknown teams the best
* Abyss can finish off enemies who barley survives at end of your turn
* Works in Demonic Beast Battles very effectively thanks to his high pierce rate, unique and Abyss

### Cons

* His Abyss, Reduce damage and increase pierce rate buffs can be removed by buff removal and enemies with Rupture or Over-Rupture will deal extra damage to him and his unique doesn't reset meaning his Increase Peirce Rate buff won't be able to be applied again once it expires or get removed by buff cancel
* Will take longer for unique to build up if no enemies have buffs
* As collab event character he is available for a limited time making him very difficult to obtain
	+ Because of it you won't be able to increase his Combat Class due to lack of cosmetics in post-collabs here
* Due to him having dated defense stats newed stronger units (Such as Blue Festival Berserk Estarossa, Dark Tyrant Demon King, Light Mael of Sunshine and etc) will tear through them quickly and ensure he won’t survive to benefit from his Ultimate Move’s Decrease Damage Taken effect.

### Usage

Green Demon Lord Rimuru was released for Grand Cross during the second run of the TenSura collaboration event and is the third variant available for Rimuru and thus has several cosmetic items already available. Rimuru also received a Holy Relic for free at the time of release, which increases his Pierce Rate by 80%.

#### PVP

Rimuru used to shine in PVP when first released but however he fallen back thanks to newer more more powerful units like Blue Festival Berserk Esatorasa, Dark Tyrant Demon King, Light Mael of Sunshine will be a major threat to him due to his outdated defensive stats making frail ensuring he doesn’t last enough to make use of his ult of his defensive stats.

Blue Festival Berserk Esatorssa is his biggest counter in PVP sincd his Commandment removes buffs uppon skill usage ensuring his Abyss, Pierce Rate Increase, and Decease Damage Taken effects doesn’t last long unless Dark Tyrant Demon King on the team that seals Commandment effects. On top off it Darkness will make him take more damage and when stacked enough to apply Encroach which will cripple his stats making him do little damage and make him easily taken out.

However being Unknown allows him access to has a wide variety of combination of Unknown teams with units like Dark Queen Hel, Red Tyr, Red Freyr, Blue Nanashi and etc to benefit from newer units Uniques.

Dark Tyrant Demon King can also use Rimuru’s own Unique against him as Demon King’s Attack related status whenever Retrocession expires or get removed which can get his team obliterated by the Demon King’s powerful attacks and his damage cap ensures Rimuru can’t take him out in a single blow. If you run into a team with Dark Tyrant Demon King take him out fast as possible before he can wipe out your team.

His Infect won’t work on teams with Light Eternal Rebirth Elizabeth with her Holy Relic since it removes Infect before Healing allies when her Unique reached max stacks.

To make the most of Rimuru use a taunt unit to get enemies off him like Red Tyr while also benefiting from his Berserk effect or Blue Albedo (If you manage to get her during Overlord Collab) to ensure he doesn’t get targeted and other unit can be Dark Queen Hel to discourage use of aoe attacks. The subslot can be Green Ram (If you manage to get her during Re:Zero Collab) or Blue Nanashi to boost his stats.

Enemies that rely on buffs such as Goddess Teams will ensure his passive reaches full stacks and apply pierce rate increase soon as possible.

#### PVE

##### Death Matches

Rimuru can be some use in Gray Demon and Bellmoth Death Matches Hell mode if you have no better options. However his melee cards will be useless in Gray Demon requiring you to land or use his aoe cards. On Bellmoth on the other hand his pierce melee card do good damage but his aoe cards will be useless since it evades range attacks.

##### Demonic Beast Battles

Additionally, Rimuru can effectively be used in PvE endgame content such as Hraesvelgr fight thanks to his Abyss ultimate which makes him a great asset to any team composition that’s based on flash farming this Demonic Beast (higher ultimate move levels are recommended but level 1 works fine). Also, since his passive removes buffs, he can take out the damage reflect buff used by Hraesvelgr on Floor 3 Phase 2 (if you end up getting that passive) or even take advantage of the Damage Taken Decrease passive which gives it a buff for each attack (up to 4 times) making Rimuru able to use the maximum potential of his passive though if you take too long to finish the boss before the buff expires then he will not be at his peak. It’s recomended to use Blue Tarmiel or Red Tarmiel Grace to prevent him from being wiped out as the bird will attack him if he is the only HP unit. Pairing him with Dark Traitor Meliodas will help reduce his damage taken and Blue Festival Berserk Estaroasa (ironically his biggest counter in PVP) will apply Darkness to allow Rimuru to deal extra damage to the boss (though won’t be able to apply it himself despite being called "Demon Lord" since he is a unknown unit) especially in Floor 3 Phase 1’s annoying damage reduction as full stack of Darkness will negate it’s effect.

Rimuru also fair well in Eikthyrnir Demonic Beast Battle though due to the attribute rotation gimmick in even number phases and Green Jormungand required in the battle you will be unable to place a Dark or Light attribute hero or another Green Hero on the team since one of the each main three attributes is needed (Speed, Attack and HP) so you be unable to put him in with Traitor Meliodas to make use of his passive though it can be made up for Jormungand's passive and Holy Relic.

Rimuru also can have more a supporting role in Skoll and Hati Demonic Beast Battle of removing their frequent buffs and his single pierce card can deal damage to a single dog though his Aoe will be less effective in phases with both of them but his ult move damage can be made up for that as his Abyss will be able finish off any remaining dog if you fail to defeat both of them at the end of their turn before the remaining dog refills it’s HP and increase it’s stats greatly.

Rimuru can fairly shine well in Nidhoggr Demonic Beast Battle as his high pierce rate and pierce cards play crustal to the final phase to remove it’s immortality buff. However due to it’s immunity his AOE debuffs will be rendered useless and the boss can remove his increase pierce rate buff, Abyss buff, and decrease damage taken buffs plus due to the boss' high weak point damage in Floor 1 Phase 1 he will need to have a healer on the team so he doesn't get killed before his Peirce Cards can be used for Phase 3 so a well built Rimuru is high recommended here for this Demonic Beast Battle and his own passive can be used against him as it will remove the boss' immortality buff which will make it increase it's stats and defenses making it impossible to go beyond floor 1 unless you can destroy the boss in a single turn.
