How to Beat Pola Overview

Pola

Base Rarity	Soul	Type	Role
SR (Limited)	Emerald	Sniper	Buffer/Tank

Pola poses significant challenges to players due to her versatile skill set, which blends healing, high-damage output, and exceptional durability. Her offensive abilities, such as "Gleaming Bullet" and "Liberto Liberta", allow her to deal substantial damage while simultaneously restoring her own HP, making her a threat that's hard to wear down early in a fight. Additionally, her ability to ramp up damage output in later turns creates pressure in prolonged battles, forcing players to deal with her swiftly.

On the defensive side, "Unrequited Feelings" make her highly resilient with increased max HP, damage reduction, and SPD boosts. At the same time, "The Courage to Choose" enhances team synergy by supporting allies with healing and ATK buffs. However, her skills scale significantly with investment, so encountering a fully upgraded Pola means dealing with an opponent capable of sustaining herself, buffing her team, and delivering randomized, devastating attacks.

This combination makes her unpredictable and hard to counter, especially in extended battles or against players unprepared for her hybrid role as both a damage dealer and durable support.

Pola Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths	Weaknesses
• Balance of healing and high-damage attacks, with substantial damage scaling at high levels • High-damage attacks with improved healing at higher levels • Healing synergy and attack buffs for allies, ideal for team setups • Greatly enhances Pola's durability and late-game effectiveness with cooldown resets and damage reduction	• Healing effect becomes inactive from the 7th turn onward, limiting sustained survivability • Dependence on RNG for target selection can lead to inconsistent effectiveness • Activation limit and heavy reliance on ally abilities reduce its impact in less synergistic compositions • Most impactful effects are locked to later turns and require significant investment to unlock

Pola Skill Analysis

Gleaming Bullet

Liberto Libertà

Skill	Skill Effect
Gleaming Bullet	Level 1 (Unlocks by default) Restores HP equal to 5% of Pola’s max HP to her. Afterwards, this skill deals 1 physical attack equal to 360% of Pola’s ATK to 3 random enemies. If this skill activates on the 7th turn and onward, this skill’s effect that restores HP to Pola does not activate, and the physical attack’s damage is multiplied by 2.
	Level 2 (Unlocks by level 81) The physical attack’s damage becomes equal to 540% of her ATK.
	Level 3 (Unlocks by level 161) The amount Pola’s HP is restored by becomes equal to 10% of her max HP.

Skill	Skill Effect
Liberto Libertà	Level 1 (Unlocks by level 11) Restores HP equal to 5% of Pola’s max HP to her. Afterwards, this skill deals 5 physical attacks equal to 180% of Pola’s ATK to enemies at random. If this skill activates on the 7th turn and onward, this skill’s effect that restores HP to Pola does not activate, and the physical attacks’ damage is multiplied by 2.
	Level 2 (Unlocks by level 21) The physical attacks’ damage becomes equal to 310% of her ATK.
	Level 3 (Unlocks by level 101) The number of physical attacks becomes 8.
	Level 4 (Unlocks by level 181) The amount Pola’s HP is restored by becomes equal to 10% of her max HP.

"Gleaming Bullet" helps Pola heal herself and attack enemies. Initially, it restores a bit of her health and then strikes three random enemies. If it's used later in the game (from the 7th turn onwards), the healing part stops, but the attack becomes twice as powerful.

On the other hand, "Liberto Liberta" also heals Pola and attacks enemies, but instead of one big attack, it hits multiple enemies multiple times. If it's used later in the battle, the healing stops, but each attack becomes twice as strong.

The Courage to Choose

Unrequited Feelings

Skill	Skill Effect
The Courage to Choose	Level 1 (Unlocks by level 41) When an active skill of Pola or an ally activates an effect that restores HP, this skill restores HP equal to 3% of Pola’s max HP to her. This skill activates only 15 times per battle (during consecutive battles that take place in Guild Battles and Grand Battles, this skill activates 15 times each battle).
	Level 2 (Unlocks by level 121) When an active skill of Pola or an ally activates an effect that restores HP, additionally grants all Emerald Soul allies 1 stack of a buff that increases their ATK by 5% (15 stacks max) (cannot be dispelled).
	Level 3 (Unlocks by level 201) The amount Pola’s HP is restored by becomes equal to 5% of her max HP.

Skill	Skill Effect
Unrequited Feelings	Level 1 (Unlocks by level 61) At the start of the battle, this skill increases Pola’s max HP by 40% (cannot be dispelled).
	Level 2 (Unlocks by level 141) Additionally, at the start of the 7th turn, makes her skill cooldown time 0, and increases her SPD by 30% (cannot be dispelled).
	Level 3 (Unlocks by level 221) At the start of the battle, additionally decreases the damage she takes by 65% (cannot be dispelled).

Pola's skills, "The Courage to Choose" and "Unrequited Feelings," offer a blend of healing support and defensive capabilities that make her a versatile asset in battle. "The Courage to Choose" shines as a team-centric skill by restoring HP when healing effects are activated and providing attack buffs to Emerald Soul allies, though activation caps and team dependency limit it. On the other hand, "Unrequited Feelings" emphasizes survivability, significantly boosting Pola's max HP, granting cooldown reduction and speed enhancements mid-battle, and providing immense damage mitigation at its peak.

While both skills unlock their full potential at higher levels, requiring substantial investment, their synergy with team composition and the battle's duration defines their effectiveness. These skills allow Pola to adapt to various roles, whether as a supportive healer or a durable tank, ensuring her contribution to offensive and defensive strategies.

Witches to Beat Pola

Pola Hard Counters

Fia

Lunalynn

Characters with HP Drain: Fia's Life Reaver skill increases her HP Drain, deals high multi-target damage, and can exploit Pola's reliance on healing and sustaining herself while dealing significant damage. On the other hand, Lunalynn's Frozen Heart passive skill increases her HP Drain.

Pola General Counters

Amour	Primavera	Winter Lunalynn
Soltina	Festive Natasha	Milla
Rustica	Rusalka	Spring Shizu

Pola Sample Counter Teams

Emerald Counter Team

Debuffer	Debuffer	Attacker	Buffer	Debuffer
Alexandra	Winter Lunalynn	Fia	Merlyn	Rusalka

Rusalka's damage is amplified by the debuffs Winter Lunalynn and Alexandra apply. Winter Lunalynn's [Enfeeble] reduces Pola's ATK, making her less threatening to the team. Alexandra's targeted damage can finish off Pola after she has been weakened by the other team members. Merlyn's dispel removes Pola's buffs, directly countering her sustain. Fia's direct damage bypasses Pola's damage reduction, ensuring consistent damage. The [Multi-Barrier] from Winter Lunalynn provides great protection.

Witches Not To Use Against Pola

Freesia

Low damage healers: Characters focusing solely on healing without applying any anti-healing effects or meaningful damage will only prolong the battle, allowing Pola to thrive with her self-sustain and team buffs.

Natasha

Low Damage Characters: Characters with low damage may not be able to pose a problem to Pola with her abundance of HP.

Tips for Beating Pola

Use Characters with [Blight] or [HP Drain]

Characters with abilities that inflict healing reduction or prevent healing altogether can significantly weaken Pola's survivability, as many of her skills rely on self-healing.

Use Action-Hindering Skills

Characters with [Stun], [Silence], [Fainted], or other disabling effects can interrupt Pola's skill activation and prevent her from utilizing her healing and damage potential effectively.

Use High-Damage Burst Characters

Use a team with a mix of debuffers and high-damage burst characters to increase damage and reduce her effectiveness.
