About

A young knight with a pure heart. Her upbeat personality is infectious, but her naivety and honesty make her an easy target for swindlers. Though she cried often as a child, she has sworn to never again weep in the face of hardship.

Overview

Serena joins a long line of Flame Sword users and faces steep competition from Marth in particular. Sporting a full Crit kit, the Purehearted Warrior markets herself as an upgrade over Euden, with Stun immunity granting her access to the High Midgardsormr fight. Similar to Naveed, Serena thrives in longer content where she’s allowed to rack up combos and stack her passives.

Strengths

Heavy Crit Focus

Sword users enjoy high DPS and SP gains, allowing for high Assault Flame uptime. When fully powered up, Serena maxes out at 19% Crit Rate and 18% Crit Damage.

Decent Bulk

Serena’s enormous HP stat grants her some leeway with positioning and learning fights in general.

Weaknesses

Abysmal STR stat

Though classified as a defensive character, Serena’s kit is purely offensive and must work off one of the lowest Strength stats in the game.

Needs to Ramp Up

Serena needs time to build up combo counts for passive stacks, which Swords don’t stack particularly quickly. Player mistakes and unavoidable attacks pose significant risks, leaving Serena wishing for more tangible payoffs.

Dragon Recommendations

Cerberus and Agni remain prime picks for their 40/60% STR boosts.

Ifrit is a more accessible alternative to the usual 5★'s and is the superior choice if the above two Dragons are not fully unbound.

Pele is a budget option for participants of the Loyalty's Requiem event.

Wyrmprint Recommendations

Pair 1

Pair 2

  • The Shining Overlord and Levin's Champion both highlight both Serena's dual damage skills and her heavy Crit focus.
  • The Resounding Rendition and Stellar Show pair sticks with Swords' traditional role of quickly burning through Overdrive gauges.
