Best Character of January 2025

Pull For Tainted Iris

Tainted Iris

In the available limited SR characters pool, you can prioritize pulling for Tainted Iris. However, please note that all three characters have specific niches; pull based on need.

Tainted Iris is a damage dealer with strong attacks and some survivability. Her first active skill targets the high ATK enemies to weaken their attacks. She also has a random multi-hit skill, which makes her stronger against enemies she debuffed, plus a shield for herself and an ally to reduce big hits. The biggest reason she is a better pull among the currently available gacha banners is that she has reliable offense and durability compared to Artoria and Aine, who both have self-debuff mechanics (HP reduction and SPD reduction, respectively).

Artoria is a Morgana support, so if you already have Morgana from the previous rerun, Artoria can be a great support as their skills complement each other. The [Multi-Barrier] provides excellent survivability, but relying on stacking buffs and self-damage makes her slightly less consistent.

Aine targets high-ATK enemies and has the potential for high single-target damage with its multiple activations and damage multiplier, especially when not afflicted with [Demon's Temptation]. She also adds [Shield] and CRIT RES to herself and high-ATK allies, enhancing survivability. However, she has self-inflicted SPD debuff, potentially hindering her overall damage. Without consistent shielding, her ATK scaling is much slower.

Character Order of Priority
MementoMori - Tainted Iris IconTainted Iris ★★★★★
MementoMori - Artoria IconArtoria ★★★★
MementoMori - Aine IconAine ★★★

This recommendation will change depending on the characters currently available in the Prayer of the Fleeting and Invocation of Chance banners..

Tainted Iris

tainted iris - MementoMori
Tainted Iris excels at damaging her opponents, with a notable chance of applying a debuff that reduces her targets' ATK. This debuff synergizes with her abilities, as one of Tainted Iris' offensive skills inflicts double damage on enemies affected by it. Although her damage output may not match that of top-tier damage dealers like Florence and Cordie, Tainted Iris' damage is still quite formidable.

Should You Pull for [Attendant Tainted in Black] Iris

Artoria

Artoria Character Introduction
Artoria is a Crimson buffer. Like Morgana, Artoria ramps up her damage with an ATK boost when she harms herself. She offers [Fainted] debuff, especially for Emerald soul characters. She benefits from self-damaging characters as they give her a buff that increases her ATK by 5% and a [Multi-Barrier]. She can be a good support for Morgana.

Should You Pull for Artoria

Aine

Aine Character Introduction
Aine is a Radiance debuffer who targets 2-3 enemies with the highest ATK and reduces their chance to deal a critical hit. Her other skills can also decrease their DEF by 5-15%. Her passive skills give her and two allies with the highest ATK the [Shield] buff while also enhancing their CRIT RES.

Should You Pull for Aine

Morgana

Morgana Character Introduction

Morgana excels in area-of-effect (AoE) attacks, but she has to harm herself to use them. Her skills are highly effective offensively, but you'll need to create a strong team composition to leverage her abilities fully. Morgana is an excellent addition as a support attacker if you're working on building a Crimson PvP team.

How to Beat Morgana

Eirene

Eirene Character Introduction
Eirene's abilities have notable benefits for certain groups, and her damage output is respectable compared to other attackers. She offers cooldown reduction, removes debuffs, and provides a shield for allies with low speed. However, she might be more effective as a debuffer in PvE game modes such as Tower of Infinity.

How to Beat Eirene

Minasumari

Minasumari Character Introduction
Minasumari is highly effective against sniper units due to her Wildcat Hunt skill, which becomes unstoppable and deals additional damage when targeting snipers. Many of the game's popular witches, such as Cordie and Primavera, are snipers. In PvP, facing a team with one Cordie and four supporters is common, making Minasumari particularly strong against such setups. If you find facing Cordie, Primavera, or other snipers challenging, consider adding Minasumari to your team.

How to Beat Minasumari

Apostle Rosalie

Apostle Rosalie Intro
Apostle Rosalie is a strategic counter to debuff-heavy teams. She creates a powerful burst damage window for her allies in the mid-game. To ensure her team's survival until that point, she provides a potent Force Field buff to adjacent allies for the first two turns, making them nearly invulnerable to damage during the initial rounds of active skill usage.

How to Beat [Apostle of Caritas]Rosalie

Winter Lunalynn

Winter Lunalynn Intro

Winter Lunalynn is a formidable offensive unit whose power escalates as the battle progresses. Her active skills receive significant damage boosts from the 7th turn onward, and her Unique Weapon further amplifies this damage potential. Beyond her raw power, she also possesses a diverse skillset: Enfeeble to weaken enemies, HP Drain for sustain, damage reduction for survivability, and an undispellable Multi-Barrier to protect Crimson and Emerald allies.
