How to Beat 【The Witch of Wailing Lightning】Cerberus Overview

PvE Rank	PvP Rank

Base Rarity	Soul	Type	Role
SR (Limited)	Radiance	Warrior	Attacker

A powerful attacker that can instantly defeat any enemy under the right conditions, Cerberus can give you a bad day in the Battle League if you are dependent on witches who need to self-revive themselves to be more powerful.

However, Cerberus is held back by the low attack count of her skills, which makes her vulnerable against enemies who use multi-barriers. The conditions for her instant defeat skill are also rather specific and can be avoided by allies who have the ability to heal themselves.

【The Witch of Wailing Lightning】Cerberus Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths	Weaknesses
• Capable of instantly defeating her foes if the right conditions are met. • Self-cleanses debuffs she's afflicted with and can grant herself Debuff Immunity. • Has self-buffs for ATK and CRIT, making her deal more damage.	• Low attack count can be blunted by enemies with multi-barriers • Enemies with high EVD can avoid her attacks

【The Witch of Wailing Lightning】Cerberus Skill Analysis

Can Instantly Defeat Enemies

Storm of Tartarus

Cerberus' most powerful ability is her second active skill, Storm of Tartarus. Its conditions allow her to instantly defeat any enemy that can self-revive themselves such as Amleth (yes, even with her Immortality buff) and Rusalka, as well as anyone unlucky enough to fall within 15% of their HP or lower and 1500% of Cerberus' ATK.

This makes it dangerous for those units to fight her. Attackers who can heal themselves or steal HP also become very useful since they can avoid falling within the conditions needed by Cerberus' skill.

Has Debuff Abilities, Self-Cleanse, and Self-Buffs

Wailing Lightning Claws

Magic Words

Uncontrollable Heart

Cerberus also has the ability to halve an enemy's defense against physical attacks for one turn, making her a good debuffer to blunt enemies with. Meanwhile, her second passive skill, Uncontrollable Heart, increases her ATK by up to 40%, as well as her chance to deal a critical hit by 20%, giving both Wailing Lightning Claws (first active skill) and Storm of Tartarus (second active skill) a damage boost.

She also has good defensive options such as the ability to dispel all the debuffs she has, as well as Debuff Immunity for 3 turns. This prevents her attacks from getting blunted by Silence, or getting Fainted by enemies who want to stop her from attacking.

【The Witch of Wailing Lightning】Cerberus Hard Counters

Cordie

Soltina

Dian

Due to Cerberus' low attack count, Soltina can render them useless with her multi-barriers. Meanwhile, Dian can boost Cordie's EVD, giving the gunslinger a chance to avoid Cerberus' attacks and counter with an attack of her own.

Tainted Iris

Tainted Iris' Force Field protects her allies from damage that exceeds 20% of their HP by cutting that damage by half. This makes it harder for Cerberus to catch any enemy within the window she needs to instantly defeat them.

Fia

Sivi

Fia has self-healing abilities that allow her to drain HP from enemies. She can also boost the HP of two adjacent allies, making them more resistant to Cerberus' second active skill. Sivi, on the other hand, can cut up to 40% of the damage she takes, increasing her chances of surviving the second turn while fighting Cerberus.

【The Witch of Wailing Lightning】Cerberus Sample Counter Teams

Fia & Iris Counter Team

Buffer	Attacker	Attacker	Tank	Debuffer
Merlyn	Cordie	Fia	Tainted Iris	Mimi

Fia and Cordie will be your main attackers, with Fia having the added bonus of boosting Cordie and Tainted Iris' HP. Tainted Iris will also give a Force Field to the ally with the highest ATK (which could either be Fia or Cordie), cutting the damage they get from Cerberus' team. Merlyn will cleanse Cordie's debuffs and raise her CRIT, while Mimi's there to add more damage to her Resonance ability.

Witches Not To Use Against 【The Witch of Wailing Lightning】Cerberus

Amleth

Rusalka

Once Amleth is defeated and revived afterward, her HP will be within the range Cerberus needs to instantly defeat her with her second active skill. This is the same deal with Rusalka.

Tips for Beating 【The Witch of Wailing Lightning】Cerberus

Use Witches With Self-Healing Abilities and Damage Cut

The only thing you need to make sure of whenever you're fighting Cerberus is that your important witches will not fall under the 15% HP threshold Cerberus will need to instantly defeat them.
