One of the best Cancer saints in the game, but it had to be a Sapuri. DeathMask Sapuri is an interesting and very easy-to-use unit, practically doing things on its own and not needing its turn to come around. The star is the ghost it summons. The ghost attacks every time an enemy unit damages it, up to a total of 5 times per round. The damage depends on how much HP it has at that moment; the less it has, the harder it hits. This is very useful against AoE units, and the damage is very good, as well as being true damage. We will only control it when it’s its turn to attack with the second skill and the basic attack. It’s very easy to use and not that expensive.
Pros
Great DPS
Multiple hits can help against shields
Good Control
Really easy to use
Cons
Can be controlled
Depends in the damage received

Skill Descriptions
Skill 1
Surplice - Praesepe Underworld Waves
Deals 80%/85%/90%/95%/100%C.DMG to an enemy Saint and guides the Wraith to perform a Pursuit attack. Has a 30%/35%/40%/45%/50% chance to directly detonate the enemy's [Parasite Spirit].
Skill 2
Illusive Drain
Deals 200%/250%/300%/350%/400%C.DMG to 1 enemy target. The damage then conducts through the enemy team 5 times, with each conduction reducing the damage multiplier by 20%/20%/15%/15%/10%. Prioritizes targets that haven't been hit yet, with each target being hit a maximum of 2 times. Each instance of damage dealt has a 20%/25%/30%/35%/40% chance to make all your summons attack that target.
Skill 3
Surplice - Praesepe Soul Burial Waves
Summons Wraith at the start of battle. Wraith inherits 100%/150%/200%/250%/300% of Surplice Cancer's HP and 100% of attributes. When Wraith attacks, it deals 80%/85%/90%/95%/100%C.DMG to the target and adds 15%/15%/20%/20%/25% true damage based on its own lost HP. When Wraith is near death, it creates 4+ the number of summons that have appeared (maximum 12) Spirits that randomly inhabit enemy units (prioritizing targets not already inhabited). It then immediately uses Illusory Drain at no cost on the enemy with the lowest HP. After Wraith dies, it is immediately resummoned. Inhabited units are burned by the Spirit, applying 1 stack of Burn. After an inhabited unit is attacked 4 times (including attacks from summons), the Spirit explodes, dealing 10%/10%/15%/15%/25% of the target's maximum HP as C.DMG, not exceeding 300% of C.ATK. The Spirit dissipates after exploding.If the Spirit doesn't detonate after 2 turns, it automatically dissipates and increases all damage taken by the unit by 5%/5%/10%/10%/15% for 2 turns. Each unit can be inhabited by up to 4 Spirits, with effects stacking when multiple Spirits inhabit the same target.
Skill 4
Wraiths and Ghosts
When Wraith enters the field, it taunts 1/1/1/2/2 enemies with the highest ATK for 2 turns, forcing them to only target Wraiths and Ghosts as their main attack target. Whenever any friendly unit (including summons) is attacked, Wraith has a 15%/20%/25%/30%/35% chance to counter the attacker (each enemy can be countered up to 5 times per round). This chance doubles when attacked by the taunted target.
