Artoria's active skills, Collbrande's Shine and Caliburne's Kindling, deal significant damage to enemies at the cost of her own health, with Caliburne's Kindling scaling dramatically with ATK buffs and Collbrande's Shine offering a chance to stun enemies with [Fainted] debuff if they are Emerald soul characters.

Her Rousing Justice skill grants her permanent attack boosts based on self-damage or ally self-damage, culminating in a damage-nullifying barrier at higher levels. Finally, Holy Sword's Scabbard provides a substantial attack buff to the ally with the lowest speed, significantly enhancing their damage output for a short duration.

Artoria Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths Weaknesses
• High burst damage potential early on, can quickly eliminate weaker enemies and [Fainted] debuff for Emerald Soul enemies
• Multiple hits and scales incredibly well with ATK buffs
• Permanent ATK boost
• Passive skill Holy Sword's Scabbard provides a strong initial attack boost to a key ally, potentially allowing them to quickly eliminate a threat. 		• Self-damage is a significant drawback, making Artoria vulnerable
• Relies on Rousing Justice passive to enhance Caliburne's Kindling skill
• [Multi-Barrier] only blocks 1 hit
• Passive skill Holy Sword's Scabbard's SPD buff only lasts for one turn at this level, limiting its overall impact.

Caliburne’s Kindling

Skill Skill Effect
Memento Mori - Collbrande’s Shine Icon
Collbrande’s Shine 		Level 1 (Unlocks by default)
Deals damage equal to 20% of her current HP to herself, and deals 3 physical attacks equal to 280% of her ATK to enemies at random.
Level 2 (Unlocks by level 81)
Additionally, if a target has an Emerald Soul, each time Artoria attacks, has a 70% chance to inflict ［Fainted］ on that target for 1 turn.
Level 3 (Unlocks by level 161)
The physical attacks’ damage becomes equal to 480% of her ATK.
Skill Skill Effect
Memento Mori - Caliburne’s Kindling Icon
Caliburne’s Kindling 		Level 1 (Unlocks by level 11)
Deals damage equal to 20% of her current HP to herself, and deals 5 physical attacks equal to 320% of her ATK to enemies at random.
Level 2 (Unlocks by level 21)
The physical attacks’ damage becomes equal to 540% of her ATK.
Level 3 (Unlocks by level 101)
Additionally, if Artoria is enhanced with Rousing Justice’s ［Increased ATK］ buff, the physical attacks’ damage is further increased by 150% of Artoria’s ATK for each ［Increased ATK］ buff that is stacked (1140% of her ATK max).
Level 4 (Unlocks by level 181)
The number of physical attacks becomes 7.

Collbrande's Shine needs Artoria to hurt herself to unleash three powerful attacks on random enemies. If her enemy is an Emerald soul, there is a 70% chance she can inflict [Fainted] on them. This skill is a high-risk, high-reward skill focused on burst damage and conditional crowd control.

Caliburne's Kindling also needs Artoria to damage herself to unleash multiple hits on random enemies. This skill scales with her ATK buff and further improves its damage if Artoria's passive skill, Rousing Justice, has its [Increased ATK] buff activated.

Memento Mori - Rousing Justice Icon
Rousing Justice 		Memento Mori - Holy Sword’s Scabbard Icon
Holy Sword’s Scabbard

Skill Skill Effect
Memento Mori - Rousing Justice Icon
Rousing Justice 		Level 1 (Unlocks by level 41)
If Artoria or an ally takes damage via dealing damage to self, this skill grants Artoria a buff that increases her ATK by 5% (cannot be dispelled). The buff’s stack count is further increased by 1 for each time she or an ally takes damage via dealing damage to self (4 stacks max).
Level 2 (Unlocks by level 121)
The amount her ATK increases by becomes 10%.
Level 3 (Unlocks by level 201)
Additionally, at the start of the battle, grants 1 layer of ［Multi-Barrier］ to Artoria (cannot be dispelled). If she takes damage that is equal to 10% or higher of her max HP, 1 barrier layer is depleted to nullify the damage.
Skill Skill Effect
Memento Mori - Holy Sword’s Scabbard Icon
Holy Sword’s Scabbard 		Level 1 (Unlocks by level 61)
At the start of the battle, this skill increases the ATK of the ally with the lowest SPD other than Artoria by 20% of Artoria’s ATK for 1 turn (cannot be dispelled).
Level 2 (Unlocks by level 141)
The number of turns of ［Increased ATK］ becomes 2.
Level 3 (Unlocks by level 221)
The amount the target’s ATK increases by becomes equal to 50% of Artoria’s ATK.

Rousing Justice is a skill that rewards using self-damaging skills by permanently increasing Artoria's attack. This skill boosts ATK doubles to 10% and up to 40% total and starts each battle with a [Multi-Barrier]. However, the [Multi-Barrier] only activates in one turn.

Witches to Beat Artoria

Artoria Hard Counters

MementoMori - Cordie IconCordie

Cordie can deal multiple attacks, which can potentially target Artoria multiple times. Cordie's damage increases significantly with lower HP and successful kills. She also has guaranteed critical hits on debuffed targets with Fanning Shots skill. Smoke and Gunpowder skill grants Cordie debuff immunity, preventing Artoria's [Fainted] debuff from affecting her.

MementoMori - Florence IconFlorence

Florence's multi-hit skills and increased critical hit chance make her a formidable opponent against Artoria. The repeated attacks can damage Artoria before she gets her ATK buff. Florence's critical hit chance and ATK buffs ensure that her damage remains consistently high throughout the battle, potentially outpacing Artoria's self-damage and ATK buffs.

MementoMori - Rusalka IconRusalka

Rusalka's ability to inflict [Decreased Damage Dealing] can significantly reduce Artoria's burst damage, giving her an edge in surviving Artoria's attacks. The revival and [Multi-Barrier] from her Maiden of Sacrifice skill provide Rusalka with substantial durability, allowing her to outlast Artoria in prolonged battles. Lastly, Rusalka's increased DEF Break and CRIT RES make her tougher to take down, mitigating Artoria's high physical damage output.

Attacker/Debuffer Buffer Attacker Debuffer Buffer
MementoMori - Cordie IconCordie MementoMori - Merlyn IconMerlyn MementoMori - Witch Illya IconWitch Illya MementoMori - Lunalynn IconLunalynn MementoMori - Primavera IconPrimavera

Merlyn's Vine Stream and Witch Illya's Surge of Providence are crucial for dispelling Artoria's ATK buffs. Lunalynn's [Poison] and Primavera's potential [Fainted] and [Buff Immunity] all increase Cordie's damage output through Fanning Shots skill's guaranteed critical hits. Merlyn's healing, Lunalynn's P.DEF buff, and Witch Illya's damage mitigation helped the team survive Artoria's burst. Lastly, Primavera's SPD buff can help the team act before Artoria allowing preemptive debuffs or dispels.

Tank and Hit Team

Tank Buffer Debuffer Attacker Debuffer
MementoMori - Amleth IconAmleth MementoMori - Meria IconMeria MementoMori - Rusalka IconRusalka MementoMori - Florence IconFlorence MementoMori - Soltina IconSoltina

Florence's high damage combined with Meria's scaling damage can quickly eliminate Artoria given that she will be targeted by it. Rusalka's damage reduction debuff and Soltina's [Fainted]/[Sleep] can weaken Artoria and disrupt her attacks. Rusalka's revive ability and Amleth's [Immortality] provide crucial survivability against Artoria's burst damage. Florence's passive combined with Soltina's CRIT buffs can significantly increase her damage output. Soltina and Meria also have [Multi-Barriers] that can help them survive Artoria's opening burst.

Witches Not To Use Against Artoria

MementoMori - Morgana IconMorgana MementoMori - Petra IconPetra MementoMori - Claudia IconClaudia

Other self-damaging characters: Since they have the same trigger play style, they might struggle with damage against Artoria especially if she already received her ATK buffs and was paired with Morgana.

Tips for Beating Artoria

Use High Damage Hitters

Use characters that are multi-hitters or have high damage potential to hit Artoria before her ATK buff stacks.

Add Characters with either HP Drain or Damage Cut

Characters with HP Drain or Damage cut debuffs will put Artoria's self-damaging mechanic at a disadvantage.

Include High Survivability Characters

Utilize characters with high survivability and defensive buffs. This can help withstand Artoria's attacks and provide longevity in battles.
