## Hero Guide

[Pacifier Fiend] Mage Chandler, more commonly known as Blue Chandler, is a powerful support unit in PVP and Story Mode battles. Like Meliodas and Estarossa, he can enact Full Counter, which reflects the force of any physical attack. He also provides utility to help you clear the game's hard stages and major roadblocks.

Blue Chandler is primarily used as a Support for Demon teams, particularly with Blue Festival Assault Estarossa and Purgatory Meliodas. He can also be the central piece in the ultimate rushing teams. Building around him is pretty easy because he’s an all-around hero who can deal and tank damage or even annoy enemies by blocking their skill effects. His Unique ability is also one of the best defensive passives that automatically decreases the enemies’ stats by 7% when a skill is used against your team.

His signature skill, “Full Counter”, taunts enemies and inflicts counter damage based on his Attack and the amount of damage received. At rank 3, he’s able to return 100% of the damage back to the attacker. This will give your enemies the second thought of attacking, especially with their damage dealers who are typical “glass cannons”.

His Holy Relic adds additional benefits to his stance that being a cleanse, damage-received decrease by 30%, and HP-related stats increase by 20% for two turns. This Holy Relic is a massive upgrade to Chandler. In most cases, it makes him unkillable and prevents the enemy team from attacking your support or DPS unit.

### Pros

* Chandler’s debuff attack blocks enemy skill effects even at rank 1 (Stun, Freeze, Pierce, Shatter, Charge, etc.)
* His debuff attack also blocks buff effects such as Gowther’s rank-up, Goddess Elizabeth's Shield, Green Diane's Taunt, etc.
* He has one of the best taunt skills, countering the enemy based on his attack and damage received
* His Unique ability discourages the enemy to attack multiple times because it decreases their stats by 7% for each attack

### Cons

* Low Crit Defense
* Limited use outside PVP (except Story Mode battles and Red Demon)

## Skill Review

**Dragon Claw** - A single-target attack used defensively to block the target’s skill effects including Ultimate Moves. It negates the secondary skill effects such as Pierce, Shatter, Charge, etc. It also disables inability effects such as Freeze and Stun. Moreover, it can be used to block buff effects of the target, for example, Gowther’s rank-up and Goddess Elizabeth's Heal and Shield. This skill is very useful against enemies who rely on skill effects, reducing their impact in battles.

**Full Counter** - Assumes a Counter stance that Taunts all enemies and counterattacks when attacked by a skill. Comparing the versions of “Full Counter” between Chandler, Meliodas, and Estarossa, his “Full Counter” is more impactful when he receives more damage from the enemy, reflecting a percentage of damage back to the attacker. This is a lethal defensive skill to counter the enemy’s damage dealer.

**Ultimate: Meteorworks** - An AoE attack with a Charge effect that ignores enemy Defense, inflicting significant damage to all opponents. Backed up with his high base attack, Blue Chandler is a versatile hero that can turn up offensively when needed.

**Unique: Darkness** - Each time an enemy uses an attack skill in PVP, Blue Chandler penalizes the attacker by reducing its stats by 7% for 1 turn. The effect can be stacked when multiple attacks are used by the same enemy hero. This Unique ability can be viewed as an opportunity to gain an offensive and defensive advantage, reducing all damage taken while increasing your attacks toward the debuffed enemy.

## Gear Recommendation

Having one of the highest base HP, gearing Blue Chandler with a Life set will further reinforce his “Full Counter” skill. His Ultimate Move also inflicts an AoE attack that ignores the enemy Defense. Stat-wise, Blue Chandler has high HP and Attack, and average Defense. Overall, he has a high Combat Class rating and can contribute a good amount of CC to your team. The recommended gear set for Chandler is Health and Defense sets. The combination of these sets has two important effects. The set increases CC by a good chunk to get that extra overall CC to your team and also increases Chandler's HP pool and defensive stats to allow him to survive the most devastating attacks, keeping his passive and holy relic on the field.

**Equipment Set** - Life (HP) / Iron Wall (Defense)

**Substats**:

* Bracer/Ring - Attack
* Necklace/Earring -Defense
* Belt / Rune - HP

## PVP

Blue Chandler shines in all categories of PVP as a Tank/Support in Demon teams and Ultimate rushing teams. He can block skill effects which are often used as a counter to buff/debuff users like Festival Gowther, Purgatory Ban, and Festival Ludociel. His Taunt skill also protects his allies by directing all attacks to himself, additionally returning the damage via counterattack. The optimal setup for Chandler is linking him with Red Tarmiel. Red Tarmiel’s grace prevents Chandler from potentially getting one shot from ultimates and can heal him for 30% of the damage taken from basic card attacks. This can be paired with Chandler’s counterattack lifesteal and heal for another small amount. Paired with Blue Nanashi's passive in the backline can further increase Chandler's defensive stats and make Chandler an annoying stone wall for the enemies. Chandler's relic is amazing on the battlefield if obtained as it can counter debuff-applying units like Kyo, Last Prophet Merlin, and Green Sariel because his relic can cleanse all red debuffs applied on him. A commonly known team you will see Chandler with is Purgatory Meliodas, Festival Estarossa, Nebula Zeldris, or Blue Nanashi.

## PVE

**Story Mode boss battles** - Blue Chandler can clear most of the PVE content with ease and is a safe bet when doing story mode battles. He can potentially solo every battle with the use of his “Full Counter” and regain all the lost HP via lifesteal.

**Early Game PVE** - Blue Chandler sufficiently provides much-needed power to clear hard stages and major roadblocks of the game. He can work in Fort Solgres (Time Limited Dungeon), in addition to boss battles and story mode. When paired with Red Christmas Liz, Chandler’s counter can deal a considerable amount of damage, provide a strong defense, and tank the boss’ damage output.

**Red Demon** - A decently geared Blue Chandler can lead a team to solo the Hell level of Red Demon. He eases the burden of starters who are having trouble clearing higher difficulties. However, seasoned players tend to not use him anymore as there are a lot of team compositions with faster clear time.

**Training Grotto** - He can be used to counter Strength-type (Red) Illusion Ambers. He is also effective against [Red Amber] Bishop of Love and [Red Amber] Frenzied Giant.

## Story

Chandler is one of the highest-ranked demons of the Demon Clan as well as Meliodas' former master. He and Cusack were once a single entity known as the "Original Demon".

He is very attached to his former student, Meliodas, so much so that, unlike the other members of the Demon Clan, in particular Zeldris, he completely disregards the betrayal Meliodas committed towards the Demon Clan 3,000 years ago. He even goes as far as to say that the original Elizabeth had kidnapped Meliodas even when it's known that his former student betrayed his clan out of love for her.
