==Overview==
Tsathoggua, while isn't among the most recommended units in the game, is a quite decent damage soaker and zoner. With [[Amorphous Creature]], he can keep annoying enemies busy trying to take him down while the rest of his team whipes out their allies, being able to heal himself if his HP reaches or is close to critical levels thanks to Elder Cynokrash's self-heal and to slow down the enemies' Charge Skill due to his CP decrease. Because of this, [[Ruler]], the way his Charge Skill works and the fact he can't do big amounts of damage by himself, it could be said Tsathoggua is a team player, and one that works specially well with units with lots of skills on movement since none of his require this to activate. Make sure he's the first one to hit the units you're trying to distract so they'll focus him.

Due to [[Space Traveler]] and [[King of the Dark Realm]], he's great to push slash and strike units to a safe distance in small maps and also pierce units in bigger ones (and while not completely effective against ranged and magic, pushing them away can minimize damage against your team), but he's affective against all three in all situations if matched with an ally that can reliably apply {{Status effect|恐怖}} to his opponents. It's also recommended to have him attack as late as possible since sometimes these skills can move enemy units at unfortunate times.

Another thing to take note of is that {{Status effect|不動}} is a blessing in disguise. It doesn't really impede Tsathoggua greatly thanks to him not needing to move to activate his skills, but it also helps him get his CP up quickly to get heals and deal greater damage. It's a good idea to have another CP battery in the team besides him to get that first ult as soon as possible and then keep the self-heals rolling in.

Lastly, it's worth mentioning that while his 3-star has many of the capabilities of his 5-star, the latter is better due to better range, King of the Dark Realm and higher stats that compensate for the change in the damage multiplier and allow him to survive longer.

The most dangerous effect for Tsathoggua. By instantly reducing his HP to 1, Tsathoggua is vulnerable to being taken down and even being incapable of carrying out his duty if he didn't activate Amorphous Creature previously, since from there on any damage he recieves will result lethal. The only ways to prevent this is by going into next phase and getting the Gourmet heal (which, let's be honest, it's the worst case scenario), charging Elder Cynokrash or by having a reliable healer in your team. Be extremely wary of units with [[Harbinger of Death]] and [[Chernobog]]'s Night on Bald Mountain. If you are against any of these units it's recommended to have a good skill sealer or an unit able to Cleanse.
