		Dagger That Tricked The Shadow Fairy King's Crown Verdant Shackles Refinement: ・On Counterattack, 200% Defense-Based Damage to all enemies (1 time per turn)
Memory Fragments and Stat Priorities
Conqueror's Aspect Set Executioner's Tool Set		1. Passion Damage % 2. Crit Chance % 3. Crit Damage % 4. Defense 5. Defense %
Cards and Epiphanies

Note: Maribell's performance significantly improves she has a Residual Herb with 1 AP Divine Epiphany.

Maribell's best build focuses on accumulating massive amounts of shield then dealing fixed damage based on the amount of shield you have. The unique aspect of this build is her ability to deal the same damage no matter how many buffs the enemy has or debuffs you have that will weaken the damage of your party.

She is best suited with the 4/2 set consisting of Conqueror's Aspect to enhance the critical damage of 1 AP cards by 35% and Executioner's Tool to further increase the critical damage she deals by 25%.

Her favored chaos zone is Swamp of Judgment to get her best equipment such as Dagger That Tricked The Shadow for an 12% critical damage increase on all her attacks. Fairy King's Crown for 6% critical chance increase and Verdant Shackles to gain up 12% attack and defense stat increase.

Sub-DPS	Support
Khalipe	Veronica

Maribell's best team is Khalipe and Veronica. Maribell makes use of Khalipe's shield gain while Veronica draws cards for the party and to help Khalipe achieve the requirement for her maximum shield gain.

List of All Characters

Alternative Team Members

Character	Explanation
Narja	Can replace Veronica as the Support. Narja can provide card discount and more shield gain for Maribell but she does not have any card draw.
Tiphera	Can replace Veronica as the Support. Tiphera can provide more AP which makes it easier to play your cards but she only has minimal card draw compared to Veronica.
Magna	Can replace Khalipe or Veronica as another Sub-DPS. Magna can provide more shield when in this party which increases the damage of Maribell but she does not have any card draw and most of her cards are expensive too.
Amir	Can replace Khalipe or Veronica as another Sub-DPS. Amir can give the highest shield for Maribell through spending metalize stacks via her ego skill but she lacks card draw.
Mika	Can replace Veronica as a Support. She can provide AP for the party and healing while you setup for Maribell but she also lacks card draw.

Maribell Best Cards

Summary			Best Team			Best Cards			Best Partner
Memory Fragment				Equipment				Playstyle

Card	Explanation
Resolute Blitz	AP Cost: 2 Type: Upgrade ・At the end of the turn, 1 Counterattack ・210% Defense-based Damage to random enemies
Oh... I see	AP Cost: 1 Type: Upgrade Tags: Unique ・At the start of the turn, 25% Fixed Shield equal to number of the own Counterattack
Shelter Strike	AP Cost: 1 Type: Attack Tags: Pulverize ・Fixed Damage equal to Shield owned
Residual Herb	AP Cost: 0 Type: Skill Tags: Retrieve 2, Exhaust 3 ・60% Shield ・ Incinerate: Create 1 Contaminated Spore

Maribell's best cards revolves around using the epiphany that turns it to upgrade cards for Resolute Blitz and Oh... I See to remove it from your deck after use while gaining the benefits of gaining shield, counterattack stacks and end of turn defense-based damage.

As for the core card of this build, Shelter Strike, it cannot get any epiphany but you still need a lot of copies of it so that she can deal multiple instances of fixed damage when you accumulate a lot of shield.

Lastly, Maribell Shelter MK.II and Wolve's Dome is best removed to give space for the deck as she will not be focused on doing counterattacks or defense-based damage. You can replace it with Residual Herb as long as it has a 1 AP divine epiphany so that you can get up to 180% shield and 3 AP when using it.

List of All Cards

Essential Team Cards and Epiphanies

Card	Explanation
Vulture Ejection	AP Cost: 3 Type: Attack Tags: Celestial, Retain ・180% Defense-based Damage to all enemies ・1 Silver Veil ・+40% Shield for each card in hand
Overpower	AP Cost: 2 Type: Skill ・250% Shield ・1 Tenacity Damage to all enemies ・For each card in hand, +40% Shield Gain
Absolute Protection	AP Cost: X Type: Skill Tags: Finale ・+X100% Shield, grant Retain to all cards in hand for 1 turn
Repose	AP Cost: 0 Type: Skill ・Draw 2 other combatant's card(s) Note: Try and get a 1 AP Divine Epiphany on this card so you can use multiple cards in this build.
Sir Kowalski	AP Cost: 1 Type: Skill ・Choose 1 Ballista in Hand, +150 % Damage until used ・Draw 2

For Khalipe's card epiphanies, she must focus on getting as much shield as possible for Maribell. Vulture Ejection must have the epiphany that provides shield based on how many cards you have in hand while Overpower's epiphany is the same shield gain based on the amount of cards in hand. These two cards will give you the highest shield gain as long as you can provide the AP for it.

As for Veronica, her only job is to have the 0 AP epiphany of Repose and the draw 2 epiphany of Sir Kowalski. If you can get a 1 AP divine epiphany for both cards then it will make it easier for you to use the cards in this build.

Maribell Best Partner

Partner	Details
Eishlen	Passive Effect: Innos's Guardian - The assigned combatant's Defense, Health, and Shield gain are increased by 8% When the assigned combatant gains Counterattack, +15% Defense-based Damage. Ego Skill: Arcane Wave - 100% Shield. At the end of the turn, retain 50% of Shield

Maribell's best partner is Eishlen. In this build, Maribell only needs a stat increase for critical chance and critical damage therefore the passive she gives can provide only a small benefit but what we need is her ego skill to retain 50% of the shield you have for the next turn when used.

Rachel	If you do not have Eishlen, your next best choice is Rachel which passively can increase her shield gain and her ego skill to provide more shield and card draw.

Maribell Best Memory Fragments

Summary			Best Team			Best Cards			Best Partner
Memory Fragment				Equipment				Playstyle

Maribell's best memory fragments are Conqueror's Aspect to boost the critical damage of her 1 AP cards by 35% and Executioner's Tool to further enhance her critical damage by another 25%. She needs all these critical damage increase as it is the only way to increase the damage of her Shelter Strikes.

Stat Priority

Main Stats	Recommended Substats
Ideal: Critical Chance % Desire: Passion Damage % Imagination: Defense %	・Critical Damage % ・Critical Chance % ・Defense ・Defense %

For both main stats and substats, aim for Passion Damage, Critical Chance, Critical Damage, and Defense. Her last potential node increases her defense-based attacks by 5% and she needs at least HP higher than 800. However, this requirement is best ignored as this build does not need any defense-based damage buff.

Maribell Best Equipment

Summary			Best Team			Best Cards			Best Partner
Memory Fragment				Equipment				Playstyle

Weapon	Armor	Accessory
Dagger That Tricked The Shadow	Fairy King's Crown	Verdant Shackles
Refinement: ・At the start of the turn and after ending the turn, if in a state of owning Shield, 100% Fixed Damage to all enemies ・When a Shield is gained through a card, 100% Fixed Shield (1 time per turn) ・On Counterattack, 200% Defense-Based Damage to all enemies (1 time per turn)

Maribell's best equipment can only be found in Swamp of Judgment with Dagger That Tricked The Shadow giving her a 12% critical damage increase, Fairy King's Crown to enhance her critical chance by 6% and Verdant Shackles for a 12% increase to attack stat and defense stat so that her shield gain, if she has any, is much higher.

Do take note that the only other way to increase the damage of her Shelter Strikes is through critical strikes therefore you can also go for Burning Life and replace the accessory slot with anything.

As for her best refinement, all of what she can get revolves around shield and counterattacks such as gaining more shield after starting or ending a turn with a shield or dealing defense-based damage after activating her counterattack.

List of All Equipment

Alternative Budget Equipment

Weapon	Armor	Accessory
Flashbang	Assault Boots	Multifaceted Parallel Universe Nexus

If you aren't able to get the best, you can settle for these equipment that can be found in any chaos zones inside shops. Flashbang to inflict 3 Weaken on random enemies and reduce their damage. Assault Boost for 200% fixed shield starting at the second turn onward and Multifaceted Parallel Universe Nexus to activate 1 lead card every turn which Maribell has access to some of her cards.

Shelter Strike Combo

Fixed Damage Can Crit

Shelter Strike Combo

The best combo for Maribell is to accumulate a lot of shield with the help of her party members and then use multiple copies of Shelter Strike to deal a ton of damage to the enemy. Here are the steps to do this combo:

Use all the upgrade cards from Veronica, Maribell and Khalipe
Draw as many cards as possible until you have 10 cards in hand
Play Overpower to gain a massive amount of shield then draw again to fill your hand with cards
Repeat until you run out of Overpower to use or you have enough AP to spend it on your Shelter Strikes
Once you have enough shield, use Shelter Strike to deal massive amount of single-target fixed damage against an enemy
Continue doing until you spend all your AP

Fixed Damage Can Crit

The only way to increase the damage of fixed damage is by elemental damage increase, base stats of Maribell and your critical chance and damage. Make sure to enhance Maribell's critical damage to further increase the damage of her Shelter Strikes in battle.

Shelter Strike Only Scales With Critical Strikes and Shield Amount

In Maribell's case, even if her Shelter Strike is a fixed damage, the only way to increase its damage in battle is through the amount of shield the team has and if it hits a critical strike. No matter how high her base stat is, it will not increase its damage.
