Pisces Aphrodite is one of the best Saints in the game when you first start playing. Back in the day, he was also one of the most dominant units in PvP. His gameplay still has a clear identity: Royal Demon Rose applies Poison and reduces enemy damage, Piranhan Rose can shred P.DEF, and Bloody Rose punishes targets over multiple turns or immediately spikes harder if the other roses are already applied, while stealing a lot of HP. With Awakened Cloth, Warrior of Beauty improves his rose generation and helps him maintain pressure over longer fights. In past time, Aphro could wipe out an entire lineup, good old times.
Even so, current metas are faster and more explosive, and newer variants or modern DPS options usually offer better consistency and impact for the same investment. Aphrodite can still perform well in early PvE and remains a very comfortable progression unit for beginners, especially with Awakened Cloth. In high-end PvP, however, he is no longer a top-tier pick and generally sits outside the strongest competitive cores.
