Kind of depends on what you need, I'd say. This card would have no problem wrecking AW/FAW on its own - at least with a nuller for buff protection.

It wouldn't be terrible in a LAW comp by any means, but super buffers with higher defense boosts (Icicle for example. Buffs 400%/200%) are stronger for an unleasher/nuller/super buff comp since it shouldn't take that long to hit damage cap anyways so the secondary skill wouldn't be as useful. It would only really be useful when fighting a LAW like Arpa if you don't have unleashers for a standard comp like: null - super buffer - 3x unleash, or 2x null, super buffer, 2x unleash.

Pretty great card for EH, however. Scaling atk cards carry EH fights pretty easily, so that plus a strong buff is very powerful.

So it is kind of meh for LAW and AUB (unless you don't have any AoE damage cards for AUB, then it is decent), but really powerful for AW/FAW/EH - includes witch gates as well.

You'll have to see if the skill set will fill a gap in your teams that would make it worth it - the art is also something to consider as well 8) If you summon, just be prepared to pray to RNGesus. I didn't pray hard enough and it took me a few summons more than Id have liked to get both copies.
