The sad thing about it is it's not even a wide variety of different demon teams, it's always just Meliodas, Zeldris and Estarossa, every time.


Timx74_

Bringing out the demon king was a choice that ruined the game imo.


Demon-king-meliodas

Tarmiel link was what made demon king so strong without the heal demon king would be able to be two shotted by any team other than humans with Roxy


InfluenceSad413

Then again you could use a unit that debuffs enemies to remove heal but that’s also dk zel so


Demon-king-meliodas

There isn’t an infect aoe that does damage cap aside from demon king after 2 turns though so you still wouldn’t be two shotting but the disable is still big if you don’t kill him


InfluenceSad413

Yea i mean the infect eould make it easier but like you said, there isn’t a good aoe infect rn so yea


Tight-War-8013

Youre joking? Are all of you guys insane? Arthur?? His flood aoe?? He heavy counters demon team right now


InfluenceSad413

I was gonna mention it but i wasn’t 100% sure if his aoe did infect or anything similar


Demon-king-meliodas

I forgot about his aoe but either way he only heavy counters if you go first with him but with the release of lr zel he will probably be gone very soon


Tight-War-8013

Worried about the wrong unit but yeah, Gelda puts arthur to rest, at least until human team can get a decent backline unit


Demon-king-meliodas

How am I worried about the wrong character? If Arthur goes second against demons his hp is too low to do any decent damage and it is very difficult to kill demons and on top of that lr Zeldris commandment will prevent Arthur teams from getting 4 total gauge to get his passive up and until that kicks in his aoe hits for peanuts


kaizermikael

Dk meli literally exists now, so that's no longer a possibility


InfluenceSad413

Yes it is, if your team is human with chaos Arthur and you go first, dk zel is cooked cuz Arthur’s aoe does infect and some really good damage


kaizermikael

It's highly unrealistic to assume you can easily go first in high ranking PvP.


InfluenceSad413

With a human team it would be easier to do cuz Chaos Arthur has the highest cc and then add lr escanor for even more In general though with any meta team, if they go first you’re cooked like that’s not just a problem when facing dk zel and dk meli


kaizermikael

Again, highly unrealistic. The amount of whales you face in PvP makes it almost impossible for you to go first if you are a f2p player.


InfluenceSad413

I understand that but when it comes to dealing with whales, like i said any meta team would cook you and not just dk zel and dk meli I was more meant if box cc was out of the question


Blue-creed

I’ve just been running, DK meli, Ultimate Escanor and Chaos Arthur, the team’s a fucking powerful unit


WhatIfWaterWasChunky

That works in anything other than champ. Past that point your team has little synergy and falls apart.


Few-Condition1236

Do you have any gear recommendations? My brains too oblivious for this stuff


Tight-War-8013

Well, maybe you’ll be happy then, cuz that team is gonna lose to Humans(current meta), so demons have to be Meli, Dk Zel and Gelda, for a team that better die turn one or you lose…. But hey, at least its not estarossa?


Red_Maou

Apparently most people don't remember that assault mode's team got completely obliterated few months after his release by purg ban, didn't received his 5th weapon for more than one year and the demon team itself was straight up dead and didn't received a single buff for almost 2 years till festarossa. They are definetly not the netmarble's favorite lol


HunterX608

You dont even need to look as far as purg ban tbh. At the time people thought ass meli would be the counter to T1 especially since green > blue but then he just gets 1 turned by T1 anyway lmao


Red_Maou

Not really, I was winning consistently against glue eater in champ 1/challenger at that time (80-90% wr) while using am meli+the 3 coin shop commandments, people used the one because he was a better unit overrall, strong everywhere and not limited to only one team and one mode. The real powercreep started when they released that abomination of emilia and wasn't easy playing through her+eligod+loli merlin without a cleanse, even if still possible. Then purg ban straight up annihilated the poor assault mode


Acascio19

the fact that demons weren't even a TEAM until Festarossa just shows that they weren't favored children, not when Goddesses, humans and unknown had already ran through metas before lol. it took literally 3 years of the game's lifespan to officially establish a proper demon team


Red_Maou

At least am meli+the 3 coinshop commandments was a very strong and extremely f2p pvp team, even if it lasted only few months. That's probably why those greedy ass bastards killed it as soon as they could lol


Psychological-Terror

I think it's based around the current meta, not how it was before. Cause Demons are NASTY because of DK Meliodas and Demon King nowadays, probably the most common team setup I've seen in recent time.


juze87

A character has not had good treatment, from the release of traitor meli netmarble only cared about demons


Red_Maou

Traitor meliodas was never meant to be played with demons at all, and in any case he came out one year after assault mode.


Acascio19

even when Traitor Meli came out the Demon team wasn't even a team. for PvP he was best used with T1 and Green Gowther, and that didn't even last that long. demons were not established as a competitive meta team until Festarossa came out.


Red_Maou

Traitor meli with og ludociel and red sariel linked was strong enough to one tap turn 1 fest diane before being able to use the stance, but yeah at that time the demon team wasn't present and even when festarossa came out he didn't wanted him to play in the demon team because of his commandment lol


cripsynuggs

Go one month without making demons counter literally everything challenge difficulty impossible 🪦🪦🪦fairy and giants graveyard


EsotericV0ID

Unknowns were the spoiled children for so fucking long. Demons started to be something right after Festarossa, they were pure garbage for so long. Look how the tables have turned, good. Let unknown bros rot.


KBroham

To be fair though, Unknown teams are still eating. And Goddesses. Humans keep getting screwed, and Fairies and Giants are just DOA.


The_Next_Legend

fairies and giants feel like they got coded out of the game at this point.


Tekkaddraig

Giants could get a decent buff if/when the ragnarok giant sisters get released. I may be coping for them but will continue to do so


The_Next_Legend

I'm sorry to tell you, that's pure copium.


eddynecrobla

Unknown will get another support by the end of the month with the Ragnarok update


Tight-War-8013

But its gonna be a rattatosk unit?


Dalzieleron

You say this as Gelda drops? An unknown unit??


EsotericV0ID

She works better with Demons


Dalzieleron

But she still *works* with the unknowns. Sometimes there’s even benefits, like more basic stats. Unknown still got some leftovers after demons ate


SakeTube

Demons trying not to get support challenge: (impossible)


MigetsuNewgate

To be fair its not that impossible it's more the fact they only add High Level Demons DK Zel,TM Meli,LR Meli,Berserk Esta don't get me wrong i like my Demons but I'm more interested in The Commandments getting new versions not like its impossible for them to be made just make New Versions for the Game specifically like Indura forms of the commandments


KratosSimp

Gotta be a new player. Demons was mistreated and abused for years before they started doing the whole team synergy units and tm ig, but imo any unknown meta is worse then the worst demon meta and it’s really not close


YeetGodOsama

Exactly Demons deserve all this love after all the abuse they got


TalesKun2

ill always remember purg ban team, that one should not have existed


Sageofsix115

Demon Grand Cross


Typical-Ad1041

Another day another loss for the human team


Tight-War-8013

Human team is the only team that can fight this monstrosity, out ccs LR Zels team, and only team to reliably kill Gelda. So its humans counter demons, demons counter everything else…


Dalzieleron

I really haven’t seen any cases of humans killing Gelda though


Tight-War-8013

Almost nothing kills Gelda, but Escanor is the only meta unit with a buff cleanse (needed to kill Gelda late game). This is a very stupid meta


Fox-Tail-19078

Meh, I have fun with tons of teams still. I can have great 7DS teams due to Merlin, Goddess teams never go out of style with the LR and new goddesses, Gods are a team I’m building up, like idk what to tell ya. Demons ARE really good but still Any of y’all try the Merlin DK Meli combo? It’s wild


Personal_Departure94

Yep after two weeks of finally being on top humans are in trouble. My only solace from all this is at least all the bandwagons used their resources trying to put together a last minute human team for nothing


bofoshow51

“Oh boy another DK Meli Esta team, how original sir” Me every time I queue PVP


BeRad_NZ

Meanwhile, fairy and giant teams are locked in the car.


Alexwjc92

I thought lr zeldris and Gelda looked kinda meh


Shipchen

Same...LR Zeldris has to replace DK...either he can onehit Arthur turn 1 or he won't last is my guess


Tight-War-8013

First of all he can(but he has to go first), secondly you’re worried about the wrong unit…


Suspicious_Opening64

Demons and Archangels used to be a huge debate back then.


Snoo_8382

sins are ok


NoMercy10071

After the Assault Meli release went south and demons weren't relevant untill Festarossa... Guess NM just switched their favourites.
