Pros	Preach makes him immune to all status ailments and will inflict Mute on all enemies when a party member gets ailmented or receives a new Spirit Chain. After this chain, he will also apply 1 count of Spirit Chains of Salvation on the enemy with the highest Max HP. Furthermore, when at least one enemy has one type of Spirit Chain, his entire party will receive 30% damage reduction. This makes him currently the only F2P option that can apply Salvation. This is specifically important as it is one of the few tools that can take down Vanitas in PvP. Cleansing Shout finishes his kit as a cleanser, as it not only removes ailments but also debuffs from all party members. It will also make Daisoujou recover 1 MP. At first Soul Drain might seem like a wasted slot, but with its MP reduction in P2 and with once-per-turn Salvation application after using it in P4, it becomes a menacing tool. Enduring Soul in Purple allows him to survive a killing blow, making it a beneficial pairing with Danu. Drain Light in Teal can synergize well as an anti-Metatron M and anti-Danu measure if paired with Baphomet A. P1 offers a 15% boost to his ailment infliction rate, a 20% party-wide Light damage reduction aura with an additional 50% Light reduction for himself. P2, in addition to lowering the cost of Soul Drain, offers another 30% damage reduction for Daisoujou if at least one enemy has one kind of Spirit Chain. This stacks with his passive, granting him up to a whopping 60% damage reduction. P3 will remove all buffs and inflict Mute on all enemies after using Cleansing Shout. When Daisoujou is downed, he casts a free Cleansing Shout. Aside from the Salvation addition to Soul Drain in P4, it will grant +20 to his Magic and Vitality, and will lower the cost of all skills (except for Physical skills) by 1 MP.
Cons	Is a hard support unit, relies on transfer skills to offer anything outside cleansing and removing debuffs. Soul Drain can be a wasted slot if not P2+P4, as it is MP expensive and doesn't add to Daisoujou's support build. It also wastes MP in auto, as the AI will cast it when no Ailments are currently active. He needs to constantly spam Cleansing Shout, so P4, Divine Brands, or a Mana Aid transfer are mandatory for Sloth auto-farming, especially in Red. Overshadowed entirely by Demeter, Maria, Okuninushi, Lugh and Hathor A, as they are all better Clerics. Poor guy.
Notes	When he has access to offensive spells (in Red or through transfers) his AI will prioritize those over Cleansing Shout if they can hit enemy weak points. This does not occur if your team is Bound and/or Charmed. As of June 2025, he's multi-fusible, but only Common Archetype (Clear) and at an approximate cost of 8 million mag per copy (3 million of that is unaffected by discounts), making it slow and expensive to fully Panel him. Soul Drain can be leveled up cheaply by using 3★ Red Berserkers pulled from the gacha. If choosing him from a Choice File, it's recommended to choose Teal, as he is the only source of transferable Void Dark Zones. This can then be put on a Kanbari (alongside Dmg Panel Immunity from a Purple Ishtar or Teal Fafnir pulled from the gacha) for efficient team slot usage in Aura Gate. Buffed during the 6/19/25 data update.
