	Exdeath is a ~~playable~~ character in ~~Dissidia 012~~.		Exdeath is a defensive fighter who guards attacks and counters with his own. Block melee attacks or magic with Protect Guard and Shell Guard, or use the slightly slower Omni Block to repel most attacks in the game.

			Exdeath's defense is top class. He is the only character in the game who can {{keyword\|cancel\|cancel=1}} attacks into regular blocks during {{keyword\|startup\|startup=1}}. With the '''[[Dash feint\|dash feint]]''' technique, he can fill assist gauge faster than anyone else. This also gives him superior mobility, because he can dodge attacks with the '''[[Blodge\|blodge]]''' technique. Anyone looking to approach has to answer to Reverse Polarity, which staggers most {{keyword\|pokes\|poke=1}} and teleports large distances. This makes Exdeath very mobile and challenging to interact with. Even if he gets hit, he can restart the runaway game with '''[[Assist_(Dissidia_012)#LV2_Assist_Change\|LV2 Assist Change]]'''. If left alone, Exdeath can also cast Maelstrom which is an unavoidable HP attack.

			Exdeath's counter playstyle works with '''[[Multiplayer_Build_Guide_(Dissidia_012)#Damage_(high_base_bravery)\|high base bravery]]''' and '''[[Multiplayer_Build_Guide_(Dissidia_012)#Side_by_Side\|Side by Side]]''' builds. He relies on '''[[EX_(Dissidia_012)#EX_Core\|EX Cores]]''' for EX, but his slow dash speed encourages preemptive positioning and using {{012aer}} assist to pressure opponents.

			Exdeath's weaknesses stem from his lackluster offense and the reliance on counters. Most of his offensive options are slow or need specific interactions to win; '''[[Wall_Rush_(Dissidia_012_Final_Fantasy)#Wall_Rush_(Wall_/_Ceiling)\|Ceiling wall rushes]]''', staggers, {{keyword\|assist punishes\|assistpunish=1}} or successful blocks against attacks. Maelstrom strategies falter against characters who can safely deflect it and stall for meter. Coupled with the demand for executing guard cancels, Exdeath is a challenging character to play consistently. Anything that throws off his timing (assists, unreactable {{keyword\|mixups\|mixup=1}}) is a serious threat.

			In competitive play, Exdeath is regarded as one of the strongest characters in the game. He exploits system mechanics very well, but he is vulnerable to defensive strategies that nullify his stage presence. Despite his flaws, Exdeath has earned a reputation as a top 3 contender. He is an advanced, technical character who rewards players greatly for their efforts.

	{{ProConTable		{{ProConTable
	\|pros=		\|pros=
			* '''Ultimate Defense''' - Various blocks allow Exdeath to counter almost any attack in the game.
			* '''Fastest at Filling Assist Gauge''' - {{keyword\|Cancelling\|cancel=1}} attacks and regular blocks into each other lets Exdeath fill assist gauge faster than anyone else.
			* '''Assist King''' - Due to his assist gain, Exdeath has access to assist more often than anyone else. {{keyword\|Assist punishes\|assistpunish=1}} and LV2 Assist Change are more accessible and less costly overall.
			* '''{{keyword\|Turtling\|turtling=1}}''' - Frame 1 {{keyword\|command blocks\|commandblock=1}} and mobility. Once Exdeath gets started, he can move long distances rapidly with Reverse Polarity or dodge faster with '''[[Blodge\|blodges]]'''. Exdeath can also escape with LV2 Assist Change more often, which reduces risk and lets him get back to {{keyword\|neutral\|neutral=1}} again.
			* '''Maelstrom Pressure''' - Exdeath can provoke opponents with Maelstrom, a slow unavoidable HP attack which ignores Assist Change.
			* '''Highest base DEF without EX Mode''' mitigates bravery damage on top of everything else.

	\|cons=		\|cons=
			* '''Offense''' - Exdeath's offensive options are slow or have short reach. Exdeath has does not have many ways to open up opponents on his own. He thrives when he acts as the defender, but not as much if the opponent can ignore him. EX Mode Regen can be difficult to overcome.
			* '''Anti-Maelstrom''' - An extension of the previous point, Exdeath may have to take more risks against characters who can deflect Maelstrom reliably with melee HP attacks (e.g. {{012squ}} & {{012fir}}).
			* '''Human Error''' - Exdeath demands consistent execution, patience and good understanding of the opponent's attacks. He relies on countering what the opponent does, and failing at this brings him down much sooner than what his potential implies.
