Seraphina's Training Guide and Battle Analysis

Hi, everyone. Today we've brought to you the new Saint Seraphina's battle analysis.

Skills

1. Blue Impulse [Basic Attack]

Her basic attack is a single-target attack that has a chance to inflict Freeze on the enemy. The chance of the effect is affected by the Saint's Status HIT.

2. Ocean's Vessel [Skill]

As Seraphina's core skill, Ocean's Vessel consists of three sub-skills: Abyss of Storm, Coral Sea, and Lost Continent.

The first sub-skill - Abyss of Storm costs 1 Energy. It launches an attack that bounces between enemies. While its damage multiplier isn't high, it comes with multiple instances of attack. Couple that with her passive mechanic, players will be able to inflict Freeze upon the enemies with a great chance of success.

The second sub-skill - Coral Sea costs 1 Energy. It conjures a domain that lasts for two rounds, enhancing the DMG Reduction effect on ally units as well as reducing the damage dealt by the enemies. The skill can even restore HP after Seraphina gets attacked three times. It significantly lowers the enemies' ability to deal damage. Players are recommended to cast this sub-skill in the first round.

The third sub-skill - Lost Continent (Seraphina's active control skill) costs 2 Energy. It seals an enemy unit away, and the target is only allowed to use basic attacks. This effect cannot be purified. In the meantime, when he takes damage, the delta explodes and will deal another instance of damage to all the enemies.

Players are recommended to max Skill 2 and Skill 4, and only max Skill 3 afterward. They do not have to level up the basic attack skill till then.

1515→1555→5555; Skill 3 seems important, but its damage isn't high. Its strength lies in high frequency and the Freeze effect.

Presently, in Galactic Duel, Seraphina's high Speed allows her to seal away core units in the enemy lineup such as Divine Shiryu and Manigoldo. The targets won't be able to cast any skill. Even if Seraphina fails to seal them away, she can at least apply Cover. On top of that, when the delta explodes, she can deal AoE damage while triggering the Freeze effect passively. Some enemies might find themselves getting inflicted with Freeze all of a sudden. Little do they know, Seraphina is responsible for it.

3. Realm of Flowing Water [Skill]

Realm of Flowing Water is Seraphina's passive attack skill. Like Thanatos', it accumulates Divine Will when she gets attacked in and out of turns. Once it is maxed, she will cast an AoE skill with a chance to inflict Freeze. In the meantime, she also provides healing to her allies equal to a certain percentage of the damage she deals. With the Life Steal attribute, she can even recover a small amount of HP.

4. Divine Steel Resonance [Basic Attack]

Like Poseidon, Seraphina will obtain certain attributes by casting her skills and basic attacks. For instance, for Coral Sea, on top of reducing damage dealt by the enemies, it also increases the DEF of Seraphina and her allies. On a side note, the damage dealt by Seraphina comes with a chance to inflict Freeze. With all three skills above, she can freeze the targets multiple times.

Overall, Seraphina is a Support-leaning Saint. High-level players can also put her in the damage dealer role. The most outstanding elements of her skill mechanics is the Freeze effect, DMG Reduction, and the ability to seal away her enemies. DMG Reduction is triggered by Coral Sea, which relies on Seraphina's high Speed to be conjured and take effect. Her high Speed attribute is also needed when she seals away her enemies to keep them under control.

Recommended Cosmos

Support:

Recommended Solar Cosmo - White Mist increases DEF.

Recommended Lunar Cosmos - The Cross or Dual Defense.

The Saint's P.DEF is at grade B whereas her C.DEF is at grade S. She is in need of a boost in P.DEF.

Recommended Star Cosmo - Crimson Eagle increases Speed and Status HIT.

Recommended Legendary Cosmos - Hyacinth and those that possess negative effects. Without them, the Freeze effect might be easily purified when Seraphina encounters Underworld Shun. High frequency allows her to repeatedly lower the enemies' ATK. Pairing it with Coral Sea will yield desirable results.

Recommended sub-attributes are Speed, DEF, and Life Steal.

Recommended Cosmos for the damage dealer role: Equip Dragon's Chant for Solar Cosmo, and Nether or Dragon Oak for Star Cosmo.

Recommended Lineups

1. Lineup 1:

Athena + Iris

Seraphina + Hyacinth

Thanatos + Double-Horned Snake

Divine Shiryu + Blood Elf

Manigoldo + Golden Apple

Divine Shun + Fuchsia

Can be replaced by: Taurus, Divine Shun, Ophiuchus, Underworld Shun, etc.

Ban: Artemis, Sasha, Surplice Saga

Battle Strategy: Considering Awakened Thanatos and his high AoE damage, only Divine Shun, Surplice Shion, and other protective Saints are able to effectively reduce the damage he deals while launching counterattacks. Besides, this lineup does not require a high level of experience. It is also capable of countering Seraphina's AoE damage.

Manigoldo is the core damage dealer of this lineup. He also has immunity to Seraphina's Freeze effect.

This lineup is vulnerable to high-Speed Saints, such as Sasha and Artemis.

Hence, it's best to ban these Saints.

At the start of the battle, Seraphina casts Coral Sea to increase DMG Reduction or seal away the core Saint in the enemy lineup. Later on, she can freeze enemy targets with attacks that bounces between them.

2. Lineup 2:

Sasha + Marsh

Ophiuchus + Golden Apple

Thanatos + Double-Horned Snake

Seraphina + Hyacinth

Manigoldo + Golden Apple

Persephone + Fuchsia

Battle Strategy Ophiuchus casts Treatment or Shatter to restore 2 Energy to his allies. If the lineup has insufficient Energy, players may put Kanon and Athena on the team as well.

In the late game, Awakened Thanatos' high damage and DEF reduction significantly increase the damage dealt by Manigoldo. Meanwhile, Sasha, Ophiuchus, and Seraphina provide high DMG Resistance and DEF to the lineup, making sure that it survives till the late game.

In the first round, Seraphina can either provide DMG Reduction or seal away the enemies depending on the situation.

This is all for Seraphina's analysis. We hope that it will be helpful to you all. See you next time!
