Tactics[edit]
The Majin is actively seeking battle and destruction. As such, it's easy for him to boost himself before initiating chaos. The Majin's damage routine is based around performing a large number of attacks while boosted. Most of his maneuvers and stances are there to provide with other benefits like defensive options, ranged damage options, mobility or the ability to detect unseen foes.
The following would be his "battle-ready" state (under the effects of: shield of faith, heroism, greater mighty wallop and rushing cascade stance):
AC: 26 (+4 armor, +6 Dex, +3 Wis, +3 deflection; touch 22; flat-footed 19)
Saves: Fort +13, Ref +17, Will=+14
Flurry of Blows + Snap Kick: collision unarmed strike+1 +16/+11/+16/+16 3d8+10
Standard attack: collision unarmed strike+1 +20 3d8+10
Mobility: The Majin can use the travel devotion feat or shadow stride maneuver to quickly move around with a swift action. He is also able to move normally using his ranks in Jump and Tumble.
Defenses: The Majin can switch to the flames' blessing stance when faced with a threat that deals fire damage or child of shadow when besieged by attackers. He also has a number of counters to improve his save rolls, AC, interrupt spellcasting, etc. If he still gets affected by a difficult ailment, he can heal himself of it with a greater vita purge. He is also able to catch a breather with the child of shadow boost.
Offense: When the Majin starts a round adjacent to its enemy, with all actions available to him, he is able to boost himself with the searing blade or burning blade maneuvers and flurry of blows the enemy for high damage. When in front of a group of enemies, a well-positioned death mark can make a difference, as well as an anima wave. The anima wave strike also allows The Majin to attack enemies from a distance.
The Majin can use the sudden recovery feat to replenish any expended maneuver that deems useful as well.
