Serruria's main strengths are her high damage and level of strategic gameplay. In the case of dealing damage, she has the potential to do well within a single or few attacks, but she needs to be geared well, especially with the use of her ［No Restrictions］ buff. Still, in the absence of this particular buff, her damage may be somewhat situational.

Serruria Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths	Weaknesses
• If her [No Restrictions] buff is active, she can potentially deal great damage • Increased ACC and ATK buff • Reapplyable shield	• Random Targeting • Dependency of active skills on [No Restriction Buff] for higher damage output. • low SPD • Shield is only good after a few rounds

Serruria Skill Analysis

Ancient Spell

Mystic Code

Serrurias active skill, Ancient Spell, starts with three physical attacks, each at 240% of her ATK. However, it is limited by the fact that it is targeted randomly. As it levels up, it gains more attacks based on defeated allies, maxing at 7, and becomes very reliable with the ［No Restrictions］buff. However, it is based on defeated allies, which can be dangerous.

Mystic Code targets two foes at random, landing a very high damage attack and getting increased as other allies are defeated to a whopping 1280% of her ATK. It targets many more enemies as it advances in level and ensures maximum damage on the target with ［No Restrictions］buff.

Still, despite the high damage potential, most damage is also mitigated as it is random targeting and relies on the risky strategy that depends on defeated allies. Both skills scale well as one progresses and acquire real massive power with buffs, but the most significant limitation is the random targeting and the more specific conditions to be met.

Lost Technology

Insecure Hard Worker

Serruria's Lost Technology skill enhances her and her allies' accuracy. It boosts her ATK significantly with the ［No Restrictions］ buff, but it relies on enemies dispelling her buffs to activate, which may not always happen. The initial ATK increase is modest but becomes substantial at higher levels.

Insecure Hard Worker provides substantial protection by granting a shield equal to 400% of her ATK for six turns, which cannot be dispelled. This shield reapplies if Serruria is attacked multiple times early in the battle, but this mechanism stops after the 3rd turn, limiting its effectiveness in longer fights. The shield size increases to 800% of her ATK at higher levels, offering even greater protection.

These skills enhance Serruria's survivability and damage potential, but specific conditions and duration constraints can limit their effectiveness.

Witches to Beat Serruria

Serruria Hard Counters

Soltina

Soltina's ability to dispel debuffs and inflict status ailments can disrupt Serruria's gameplay and make it difficult for her to utilize her abilities effectively.

Cerberus

Cerberus' high single-target damage can quickly eliminate Serruria. She has a skill that is effective against enemies with low HP and has enhanced damage, making her a formidable opponent against Serruria's survivability and utility after her shield stops reapplying.

Lunalynn

Lunalynn can disrupt Serruria's team by inflicting [Silence] and [Poison]. Aside from these debuffs, she can significantly boost her team's defensive capabilities.

Serruria Sample Counter Teams

Crowd Control Team

Tank	Attacker	Debuffer	Buffer	Debuffer
Soltina	Florence	Tainted Iris	Winter Amour	Cerberus

Combining their skills can effectively disrupt her gameplay, deal sustained damage, and provide defensive support. Soltina can debuff Serruria, while Florence and Cerberus can deal significant damage and control the battlefield. Winter Amour's healing abilities and Tainted further enhance the team's survivability.

Debuff-Heavy Team

Debuffer	Debuffer	Buffer	Buffer	Debuffer
Rusalka	Artie	Primavera	Elfriede	Lunalynn

This team, composed of Rusalka, Artie, Primavera, Elfriede, and Lunalynn, can effectively disrupt her gameplay, deal sustained damage, and provide defensive support. Rusalka and Primavera can debuff Serruria and protect the team, while Artie and Elfriede can deal significant damage and control the battlefield. Rusalka, Primavera, and Lunalynn can all provide defensive support, protecting the team from Serruria's attacks. Elfriede increases the debuffer's chance to inflict a debuff.

Witches Not To Use Against Serruria

Merlyn

Gil’uial

Since Serruria gets her [No Restriction] buff when her enemy dispels buff from her, it is best to refrain from using dispellers so that she doesn't get this buff and enhance her active skills.

Freesia

Healers who do not have utility other than healing may have difficulty countering Serruria when she gets buffed by [No Restriction]. If you intend to use Healers, ensure they also have damage capabilities.

Tips for Beating Serruria

Prioritize Damage Reduction and Healing

Serruria can deal significant damage when appropriately geared. Use characters with strong damage reduction or healing skills to mitigate her impact.

Control the Battlefield

Use characters with crowd control abilities to disrupt Serruria's rhythm and make it harder for her to deal maximum damage.

Outlast Her Burst

While Serruria's initial damage can be devastating, her sustained damage may be lower. Use tanky characters or attackers with healing abilities to outlast her initial attack.
