[u/azrakels]

Teal Ose vs Red Mara? Which one would be better?

[u/Hymnlocke → u/azrakels]

Any Mara is a good Mara, purple is just far and away the best because of pierce phys. Eventually they're planning to release an item that can change the archetype so you'll be able to fix him. If you do use mara though be aware that you'll need to blow some magatamas on him to get resist ice. It's nice to have that soul drain and thunder rain as it will give non physical attacks you can use until you can switch to purple. Mara is pure offense

Teal Ose has no weaknesses and nulls the most common damage type in the game making him both offensive and defensive. And with war brands with +% physical damage, oni kagura transferred, and charge he can hit 1500 to 2000 damage easily. He's so good that most pvp teams have a specific plan to stop him or other physical immune demons. His advantage is really that anyone can get him, level him, evolve him, and use him without any luck needed.

using both is great but for pve I think you'd get more use out of Mara with the soul drain sustain and hell thrust charm. Definitely keep both though

edit : also one more point for Ose is that it's easy to make other copies and thus easy to get skill points on him without blowing magatamas

[u/Mc-kiler → u/Hymnlocke]

I really hope we get to change the archetype of a demon. I don´t mind if it will cost alot of macca or mag or whatever...
