Okay, yeah, that's MUCH better. Gilles de Rais has a much more fun ability. As an ACT G Persona Blast, if you have 10 soul, he gains 10k power. 15, and he also gets to seal Grade 1 and above guard from the hand when he attacks. And if you have 2 or more face-up G-Units, he gains an extra Critical too.
 
THAT is something worth the investment: a meatier CEO Yggdrasil with 3 Drive Checks to Crit the opponent to death. Problem is, he's a bit unfeasible in regards to getting the 15 you need except in a very dedicated build. Astaroth in Amons would need to use its second skill a few times in addition to its own Amon support to use, which compared to something like G-Dark Irregulars which doesn't need to waste as much time is a bit slow for my tastes. In fact, any Dark Irregulars needing Legion will find themselves a bit slow. Admittedly you can jump to Gilles de Rais and just take the PG seal without the extra Critical but that sort of misses the point unless the opponent's on like 5 damage or something for an assured win, short of a Heal Trigger.
 
Gilles de Rais is worth it though. Dedicate the build to him and you won't go wrong, since the support they got this booster is really good.

One who is Abhorrent, Gilles de Rais
 
Caster?  Why are you here?  And why are you a vampire?  Okay, so the PSP game said you were possessed by a demon, doesn't mean you have to be a demon.  ...Then again, you did summon that giant blob monster thing to attack Tokyo.
 
Oh, what?  Sorry, must have gotten this guy confused with Fate/Zero and Jeanne D'Arc (PSP game).  After all, he has the same name as the legendary child murderer.
 
This is a semi-SSS, since it can work for the first stride and no need for counter blasts, but you want it as your second stride, seeing as it gets +1 crit when that happens.
 
Vanguards that gain crits suck, let's go to...  Oh, wait, this one...
 
Oh sure, just 10 cards in soul and it gets +10000 power.  Okay, cool, at this point it's basically Phantom Blaster "Diablo".  At 15+ cards it...
 
SERIOUSLY?!  Bushiroad, stop that!  Stop making Glory clones!
 
Urgh, so annoying to deal with.  No wonder so many clans are getting unique ways to guard these days.  Anyway, use Dark Irregulars?  Use this, next!
