He is absolutely horrible for 777...Like, i'd say unplayably overcosted. If you want to play him, play him in a narrative match, not matched play.

If you have the CP to go heavy on daemon stratagems, maybe he can work.
Teleport him in, boost his invun to 3+.
Make him a warlord and he .can get -2 to hit in combat..
Still has a lot of problems for that many points...

I play Zarakynel, the Slaanesh one, and she's garbage at 666 points.

But I play her anyways because it's fun, but you have to resign yourself to playing a very very bad list.

I feel like just ignoring chapter approved but id have to get my opponent to do it too. I was planning on running with Typhus, necrosius, 2 chaos lords, 50 pox walkers, 5 plague marines, and a leviathan dreadnought with butcher and grav flux. Its so dreadful it makes me cringe. I will have 13 command points to boost invul, and ill be taking the -1 to hit psychic power and warlord. My plan is to get him in via the deepstrike for 2cp, then boost invul for incokming fire, then get him within 6 inches where he has a -3 to hit. Idk, its interesting the slaanesh one was mentioned and thats 100 cheaper...

Play against someone fielding Tac Marines or Orks or Corsairs, instead of someone doing Flyrants or Ynnari/Alaitoc Reapers or such.

I've had fun with my Avatar of Khaine, although he's not as badly overcosted.

Is it worth running him as a normal Unclean one then? Or for 315 is that a similarly bad investment. The model is around the same size i guess

It is decidedly better.

95% of the advice I get when I ask people "How do I make Zarakynel work?" is "Use the model as a normal Keeper of Secrets." I think that's good advice if you're looking for competitiveness. Zarakynel is uncompetitive at 666, and even at her original 480 she was merely 'adequate' and not terribly competitive. Scabiethrax the Bloated is much the same.
