Role Summary[edit]

	PVE	PVP		Offense	Defense
Mara			C	F	F	-
Pros	Has Phys Pierce, in Purple. High STR and LUK means he will hit hard and crit often. Hell Thrust is very strong against bosses and in Democalypse, especially if he is Panel 3 for auto-charge after every use. At max level it also refunds 2 MP when used, ensuring he doesn't have a big refractory period between casts - so he can spam it even without Divine brands. Panel 4 grants auto-charge upon Mara's first turn, ensuring he is immediately up and running. Meme
Cons	Ice Weakness and non-existent bulk makes him go limp at the sight of Ice skills. Expensive to fuse, will quickly blow through your Magnetite reserves. (only 5+5 fusion paths are available) Requires damage boost transfers to supplement his damage. Middling AGI means he will have accuracy issues and occasionally miss the hole. Also doesn't slot into Intimidating Stance teams well as a result. Due to Mara having no single-target attack besides his regular thrust, Anti-Pierce units like Metatron, Kalki and Demiurge are a turn off. Random target skills are a liability against Demeter, and my lawyer has advised not to continue this joke.
Notes	AI on auto tends to waste Charge on normal attack if he doesn't have enough MP to use Hell Thrust (or if he runs into the 3-cast-in-a-row limit). A staple of Phys PvE teams with Zaou-Gongen to pound through waves and bosses (such as in AG2 Boss Rush and Hells Park 91-99), as Auto-Charge is an incredibly powerful effect.

Thrust King
	Transferred Skills		Notes: P3 Mara is an accessible boss killer that can melt HP bars with ease. Pair him with P3 Zaou or use in a Hell Gongen team to gain crits alongside his Charge granted from P3. Charge + Rebellion allows Mara to blow his load on a 2nd Thrust to decimate bosses or Titanomachia to sweep. Use Templar Dragon for more Charge damage if needed.

Official Profile[edit]

The hard bringer of death. A Hindu demon that dominates spirits and holds the power to instill fear. During his meditations, Buddha almost gave in to his temptation when Mara seduced him under a linden, a hardwood tree. Mara's great power was a sight to behold. His rigid strength spread far and wide, giving birth to many vile creatures.
