Arts (Left)
Arts (Right)

Murderess's build here will focus more on her Melee capabilities, given that she has a similar combat style to Elma. Astral Protection gives Murderess a unique condition compared to other melee users in which she can survive most melee attacks better due to the improved attribute resistance and healing it provides.

Use Seventh Edge, Side Slash and Back Slash as primary Melee Arts. Electric Surge gives Murderess even more damage should her target be at low Health. Hundred Shells and Killing Machine will serve as her high-damage TP Arts.

Jetstream gives Murderess some coverage for ranged attacks and provides Stun, allowing for more time to deal damage to the target. Stellar Ray can also be a good ranged option from early-game to mid-game.

Best Skills for Murderess

Rank	Skill	Effect & Class
17	Hellhound	Extends the duration of Overdrive
11	High Tension	Boosts maximum TP
15	Aura Assault	Boosts melee attack, melee accuracy with active aura

Murderess has a very good set of Skills that help boost either her ranged or melee attack but since this build focuses on the Melee-side of her abilities, she is best fitted with High Tension, Aura Assault and Hellhound as these skills will improve her maximum TP, boost her melee attributes and extend duration of Overdrive, which will be used accordingly especially in the later parts of the game, respectively.

Best Role During Combat

Melee-Oriented Fighter

Murderess provides a niche as a tankier option for offensive melee attacks and will be relatively viable till late-game but may find competition in other characters such as Elma or even Nagi.

Do note as well that Murderess requires more finesse to unlock while also having almost the same team role as the abovementioned characters.
