Budget Spring Saleh

HOT
： Springy Axe+ ： Reciprocal Aid ： Moonbow ： -	： HP/Res 2 ： Renewal 3 ： Rouse Atk/Res 3 ： Renewal 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

The idea of this skill revolves around the Spring Saleh's native kit which includes Springy Axe+, Ardent Sacrifice, HP/Res 2, Rouse Atk/Res 3. By getting 2 copies of Renewal 3, Saleh is able to regenerate health every odd-numbered turn. This means he can be a hybrid battle-healer who can consistently proc Ardent Sacrifice on allies, or battle it out with his direct combat skills. You can swap out his A skill for something like Fury 3 or Atk/Res Push 4 if you are looking for a more invested build.

Solo Spring Saleh

HOT
： Springy Axe+ ： Reposition ： Sol ： -	： Atk/Spd Solo 4 ： Lull Spd/Def 3 ： Pulse Smoke 3 ： Atk/Spd Solo 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

Compared to the Budget Spring Saleh build, this build focuses on turning Spring Saleh into an offensive unit. Springy Axe+ is a great weapon to build around, and the skills listed here allow him to score follow-up attacks on foes. some cheaper alternatives are Atk/Spd Solo 3, Breaker skills for the B slot, and any Smoke skill for the C slot.

Spring Saleh Strengths

Springy Axe+ Grants Bonuses to Atk and Spd While Neutralizing Debuffs

Saleh's weapon grants him Atk/Spd+5 and will also neutralize any debuffs inflicted on those same stats during combat.

This means that Saleh can attack without fear of his damage being nerfed by skills like Lull Atk/Spd 3 or Spd Ploy 3.

More Buffs with Rouse Atk/Res 3

Spring Saleh grants +6 to his Atk and Res with Rouse Atk/Res 3 if he is not adjacent to an ally.

This will give him even more firepower, which can be further taken advantage of if he is equipped with Atk/Spd Solo 4 on his A slot and Atk/Spd Solo 3 as his Sacred Seal.

Spring Saleh Weaknesses

Weak to Cavalry Effective Weapons

Spring Saleh takes 1.5x damage from cavalry-effective weapons like Ridersbane or a Wolf weapon like Rauðrwolf+, and one blow from this type of weapon is sure to take him/her down. Make sure you know what weapons you are up against before hopping too far into the line of battle!
