Gala Sarisse
Kit Overview
Summary
Being the first Adventurer with double Resistances, Sarisse finds a place in all game modes. Buffs based on her combo only further enhance this set, and being a ranged character goes hand-in-hand with a Support-oriented build.
Why This Tier?
-
In HMS Sarisse enjoys very high DPS uptime without the need to dodge attacks. The addition of Prometheus also makes equipping easier thanks to his Wind Res lowering the damage from Calamitous Storm.

Character Stats
Overview
Gala Sarisse demonstrates the potential of Gala Adventurers by sporting double status immunities alongside a different play style approach to Bows. Despite her label as a Support Adventurer, the Crimson Star topples Julietta for the highest HP stat in the game while also pumping out massive damage with Brilliant Bolt, thanks to a focus on maintaining combo count. Her immunity to both Stun and Sleep makes her viable in any Wind-attuned content. Gala Sarisse gladly serves as the premier ranged Flame DPS Adventurer while simultaneously supporting her party with Strength and Defense buffs, and she is often noted as a great pick for High Midgardsormr's Trial.
Strengths
Consistent ranged DPS
Sarisse’s kit is free from the bells and whistles that have hamstrung previous Bow users. Unreliant on Force Strikes, afflictions, or HP gates, Sarisse needs only hit her target, and 20-hit combos are easily racked up from range.
Dual Immunity
With Woodland Blessing, Sarisse maintains maximum uptime by resisting every affliction inflicted by Wind content.
Buff Time
The enhanced buff duration synergizes greatly with Sylvan Strength and Cheerful Assist, both of which directly increase Brillant Bolt’s shot count. This allows Sarisse more leeway to dodge and safely build up combo counts.
Weaknesses
Cheerful Assist cycling
Although the initial Strength buff is powerful, the subsequent Defense buff is less than desirable for ranged party members. Thus, the Strength buff alone essentially has an SP cost of over 17000.
Requires room to maneuver
Bow Adventurers receive significant damage fall off in close quarters and are vulnerable to being swarmed. High density content, like Imperial Onslaught, often force Sarisse to dodge more frequently and lose combo stacks.
Dragon Recommendations
- Gala Mars: Surprise! Gala Mars is best for Sarisse, in addition to every single other Flame Adventurer.
- Konohana Sakuya provides a drastic increase to Skill Damage alongside a modest Strength bonus, allowing Brilliant Bolt to unleash its highest potential.
- Cerberus and Agni provide the most amount of Strength (40-60%) and are great choices for high damage output.
- Prometheus and High Brunhilda grant less overall Strength than Cerberus and Agni, but the Wind resistance and Health boost that these dragons grant respectively allows for Sarisse to more easily survive endgame content, such as High Midgardsormr's Trial.
- Ifrit is an accessible 4★ option that provides a solid 30-45% Strength boost, and is easily unbound with Moonlight Stones via the Void Battles Treasure Trade.
- Pele and Brunhilda are budget choices for Strength boosts.
Weapon Recommendations
Ýdalir: As the Agito weapon, Ýdalir is typically best for Sarisse, though it's roughly equal with the HDT weapon in most situations.
Valkyrie's Fire: The active skill can put this over Yaldir in certain scenarios, though it's usually a bit worse.
Chimeratech Sniper: This is the budget option for those just getting into endgame content.
Wyrmprint Recommendations
Pair 1
Forest Bonds is overall the best bow print, while Primal Crisis plays the best with Sarinsse's style in a vacuum. Note that on burn teams, Elegant Escort is probably better.
