Base Rarity	Soul	Type	Role
SR (Limited)	Radiance	Sorcerer	Buffer

Apostle of Rosalie is a hard counter to debuffers that creates a powerful burst damage window for her allies during the mid-game. To survive up to that point, she also provides an extremely potent Force Field buff to her adjacent allies for the first two turns, granting all three of them near-invulnerability to damage during the first two rounds of active skill usage.

［Apostle of Caritas］Rosalie Skill Analysis

Angel’s Cascade

Apostle of Love

Apostle Rosalie is designed to heavily punish opposing debuffers by allowing her adjacent allies to gain access to their active skills immediately after the second turn, at least for those with 4-turn cooldown skills. This means that, unlike other witches, Apostle Rosalie actually appreciates getting afflicted by debuffs. This is especially noticeable considering her ATK and Shield buff scales off of her HP, which cannot be affected by enemy debuffs.

Unfortunately, despite this, she is still susceptible to action-hindering debuffs. Getting hit by one on the second turn is especially dangerous as it reduces the effectiveness of her skill's cooldown-reducing effect.

Everlasting Spirit

Master's Old Staff

Everlasting Spirit functions as an incredibly powerful shield for herself and two of her adjacent allies, essentially rendering them invulnerable during the first two turns of the match. This is especially true once her Exclusive Weapon is awakened once.

There are only two ways to get past this skill outside of letting it expire. The first is to simply force the damage by using powerful skills. However, that is difficult to do considering that witches need to deal damage totalling more than half of Apostle Rosalie's HP.

The second method is easier, which is to use skills with high hit counts but low individual damage. However, only very few witches possess a skill like that.

［Apostle of Caritas］Rosalie Hard Counters

Ophelia

Due to the high hit count and the at-random targeting of Apostle Rosalie's Angel's Cascade skill, she is susceptible to being taken out by Ophelia's powerful Taunt and Counterattack effect combo. Additionally, since Apostle Rosalie is less of an attacker and more of a support, she won't have the necessary stats to defeat Ophelia during their exchange.

Olivia

Yuni

Matilda

Fortina

Since Apostle Rosalie is only really built to counter debuffers, committed buffers are free to use their skills without worry of any retaliatory effects from her.

Belle

Witch Illya

Attackers with high hit counts on their active skills can bypass Apostle Rosalie's Force Field by merit of either brute force or going under the skill's 20% HP damage requirement. This allows them to pick up kills that would otherwise be impossible for other attackers due to Apostle Rosalie's incredibly potent defensive buff.

［Apostle of Caritas］Rosalie Sample Counter Teams

Emerald Attrition Team

Healer	Attacker / Tanker	Buffer	Attacker / Debuffer	Debuffer / Tanker
Yuni	Fia	Merlyn	Rusalka	Nina

Considering that Apostle Rosalie will have Memory completely stacked by the 6th turn regardless of what players do, a viable strategy is to prepare for that window using teams that specialize in resisting burst damage.

God's Curse

Tanker	Buffer	Attacker	Buffer	Attacker / Buffer
Ophelia	Fenrir	Witch Illya	Merlyn	Paladea

Another easy way to deal with teams running Apostle Rosalie is to defeat them during the midgame, right before her burst damage window opens. This can be easily done using a team centered around Witch Illya, whose God Curses The Light skill enables her to deal terrific damage during the 8 turns God's Curse Unleashed is active.

Witches Not To Use Against ［Apostle of Caritas］Rosalie

Elfriede

Considering the nature of teams Elfriede usually runs with, it's very likely for them to trigger Apostle Rosalie's burst damage window prematurely. And without the defensive buff stacks, even Elfriede would have difficulty surviving the following exchange.

Cordie

Considering the difficulty of trying to burst down Apostle Rosalie and her adjacent allies during the first two turns, Cordie, who does so using debuffs, would only stack her Memory prematurely while dealing little damage in return.

Armstrong

Chiffon

Witches with damage-cutting skills that decrease in potency over time will find it difficult to resist Apostle Rosalie's mid-game burst damage.

Tips for Beating ［Apostle of Caritas］Rosalie

Avoid Inflicting Excessive Debuffs

Apostle Rosalie heavily punishes excessive debuff use. Enough of it being inflicted on her team will allow her to prematurely max out her Memory stacks before she moves on Turn 2, meaning that her burst window moves from the more tolerable 7th turn to the 3rd, which will catch almost any team unprepared.

Prepare for the Mid or Late Game

Since Apostle Rosalie will max out her Memory by the 6th turn regardless of what players do, preparing for it by defeating her allies ahead of time or stacking on defenses will work.

Delay The Burst Window Using Action-Hindering Debuffs

Because her burst damage window is triggered by her 2nd active skill, you can effectively delay the triggering of its 2nd when her Memory is fully stacked by inflicting her with an action-hindering debuff on that turn. Similarly, you can delay it even further by doing so again before her later activation on the 7th turn.
