==Overview==
==Overview==
Contrary to the typical idea of a Mage type character, Nyarlathotep is at his best on the front line, taking shots and dealing out debuffs in return. He especially thrives in quests with large numbers of enemies, as he both wants to be hit as frequently as possible to maximize the spread of his debuffs, and wants to hit as many targets as possible in order to proc [[Teleporter]]. Despite the seemingly low odds (28% at max skill level) the proc chance is rolled one time for each enemy hit, so he only has to land the 1-in-4 chance once.


Most of Nyarlathotep's skills activate when he attacks or takes damage, freeing up your moves for other units to shuffle him into position, but in a pinch or when the enemy field has been thinned down, he has [[Beast Descendant]] as insurance if you don't like your odds of activating Teleporter.

The more the opposing team is whittled down, the fewer opportunities Nyarlathotep will have to proc his Evasion, leaving him to rely on [[Loiterer]], which can also fail to proc, and [[Beast Descendant]]. Fire attacks, particularly from heavy hitters such as [[Ibaraki]] or [[Zabaniya]] can still punch right through him if he's unlucky with skills, so Fire opponents should be top priority while Nyarlathotep still has targets to roll from.

Not only a themed Lovecraft team, but a trio of units who synergize beautifully to boot. {{Transient icon|Shiro}} is used in this example for the sake of saving on team cost, but 4 plays the same part if you wish. Shiro and {{Transient icon|Nyarlathotep|rarity=4}} both inflict Fear with their charge skills, Shiro has high odds of inflicting Fear off a normal attack, and Nyarla has high odds to inflict Fear when hit. Between the two of them, the enemy party should be in a constant state of terror, losing CP, unable to move, Cursed and possibly Bewitched. Nyarlathotep enjoys the added benefit of dealing bonus damage to everything inflicted with Fear.

Tsathoggua, ideally the last on the field to move, then uses [[Air Blaster]] or [[Lord of Darkness]] to further drain enemy CP and force a group back, where they will be unable to regroup due to Fear, and unlikely to damage Tsathoggua or Nyarlathotep due to Curse/Bewitched. Players with a sadistic streak may wish to include a {{Transient icon|Purple Devil}} in this setup as well. The support slot is variable but a healing unit who can keep Nyarla and Shirou topped off is recommended.

Tsathoggua, ideally the last on the field to move, then uses [[Space Traveler]] or [[King of the Dark Realm]] to further drain enemy CP and force a group back, where they will be unable to regroup due to Fear, and unlikely to damage Tsathoggua or Nyarlathotep due to Curse/Bewitched. Players with a sadistic streak may wish to include an [[Evil]] in this setup as well. The support slot is variable but a healing unit who can keep Nyarla and Shirou topped off is recommended.
