Is Messiah worth it?

[Havi]

I doubt I'm the first person to ask this so forgive me.
After looking at the stats via megaten fusion tool, it doesn't seem worth it.

I beat the game pretty much only using Takeba/Sanada/Kirijo; I got through 70% of the game using black frost with Agi/Bufu spells and one of the dark spells he comes with. I got thanatos and his dark spells and his Megidolaon that I put into him through Alice (lvl 74) and he's just been a treat while I'm still working on a better build for him.

Messiah... all he gets ability wise is Megidolaon and God's Hand which isn't BAD but not something I would really give up Thanatos for. After looking at his full kit, he doesn't get much else, Enduring would actually be great but at level 91 you're going to have either an accessory to prevent that or just a ♥♥♥♥ ton of homoncules' or homonculi whichever the term is. Regenerate 3/Invigorate 3 sound pretty good but not something I would waste 2 ability slots on unless it was absolutely necessary. Null phys I have no issues with, more resistances the better; but why the actual ♥♥♥♥ does he get Magical Ability (Automatically stengthen non-Almighty magic skills by 25%. Can stack) when his only magic ability is Megidolaon??

Can anyone give me some good build ideas for Messiah or tell me if he's just unusable or not?

No. It's just a flex if anything. It wasn't even worth it in the other versions which where harder.

Messiah is 100% a trophy persona like the female Orpheus, Sataneal in P5 and Izanagi no Kami or whatever it was called in P4 or Golden.

If you are this desperate for fun then i think you have played the game out tbh

No, if you're only interested in beating the story. But for fighting the secret boss, you absolutely want the heart item to craft the armor. Also messiah can be an easy damage tank for the secret boss.

What is this secret boss and how do I get to it?

It's Elizabeth
You need to complete the request for beating the reaper. Then you will get the final request to defeat the ultimate adversary.

Fuse Personas with those skills into death arcana Personas, inherit those skills, fuse Thanatos with Orpheus and pass those skills onto Messiah
