Goat Charm
Basic Info
- Effect: Apply 1 Demonize (アクマツキ)
- Category: Debuff / Damage Amplifier
Goat Charm causes the equipped unit to apply 1 Demonize (アクマツキ) to its target on each attack. Demonize is a stacking debuff that increases the damage the afflicted unit takes from all sources. Higher stacks of Demonize cause the enemy to receive dramatically amplified damage.
Rating: B
Demonize is a damage multiplier, not damage itself. Its true power is in combination with other damage sources. A single Demonize stack increases all incoming damage to the afflicted enemy, meaning your entire team deals bonus damage to that target.
The compounding nature is key: stacking Demonize on a tough boss with multiple sources creates a scenario where the boss takes 30-50% more damage from every ally each turn. Against high-HP targets, Demonize can dramatically reduce the number of turns needed to kill them.
1 Demonize per attack from Goat Charm builds stacks gradually. On a fast unit, this accumulates meaningfully within the same fight. On a slow unit, the stacking is too slow to reach effective levels before the enemy dies or the fight ends.
How to Use / What to Put On
Best on a fast-Counter unit that attacks repeatedly, rapidly stacking Demonize to amplify your whole team's damage output. Alternatively, place on a unit with Frenzy (x2) to stack 2 Demonize per activation.
Demonize synergizes with your entire team — once stacked on a tough enemy, all allies deal more damage, accelerating the kill without requiring additional investment in their attack stats.
Good Synergy
- Frenzy Charm: x2 Frenzy doubles Demonize application per activation
- High Attack allies: Demonize amplifies the best attackers' damage most visibly
- Multiple Demonize sources: Stack from multiple units to reach high multiplier stacks quickly
- Spice (スパイス) builds: Spice boosts Attack, Demonize boosts all damage taken — both amplify the same hit
