Sacred Seal: Distant Guard / Savage Blow

  • While originally holding the unceremonious distinction of being one of the worst summoning pitybreakers(right up there with her best friend, Luke) as well as being one of the weakest healers in the game, Mist’s refinement has given her a new lease on life as a utility debuffer.
  • Elena’s Staff is an impressive support weapon for AR defense purposes, allowing Mist to completely bypass typical chill soaks with its 4 panel radius and inflict a crippling -7 Atk/Spd Debuff to any tank attempting to Enemy Phase her teammates. Her staff also functions as Panic, giving her the ability to heavily punish buffs as well.
  • Mist’s assist is largely up to player preference. Restore, Recover, and Physic are all solid options for debuff removal, raw healing, and ranged healing respectively.
  • Windfire Balm can be used in conjunction with Restore and Time’s Pulse to instantly grant the team on demand stat buffs, and is a solid special for healers regardless. However, Miracle can also be used on a budget.
  • Mist’s offensive stats leave much to be desired, so fully investing in her bulk with Fort Def/Res 3 or Def/Res Bond is preferable in case she gets attacked. Fort Def/Res also allows Mist to use Sabotage and Ploy skills much more effectively. She can also utilize Live To Serve on a budget to heal herself, should she have to take a hit.
  • B slot skills such as Sabotage and Chill skills allow her to debuff foes even further and synergize well with her exclusive weapon, and Sabotage skills in particular let Mist make good use of her high Resistance.
  • Distant Guard and Savage Blow are great choices for both Mist’s C slot and Seal, allowing her to grant her allies a massive defense and resistance boost against ranged units, or giving her the ability to chip enemies into KO range for allies.

Strengths

Elena’s Staff

Mist’s new exclusive weapon grants her incredible supportive utility thanks to it’s upgraded chill effect in conjunction with functioning as a panic staff and single handedly carries her out of bottom tier. (shame her fodder’s still bad though)

High Resistance

Mist’s high Resistance allows her to tank magical damage with ease and make good use of Resistance based skills such as Sabotages and Ploys.

Weaknesses

Terrible Offenses

Mist’s combination of 27 Attack and 28 Speed is among one of the best(worst) in the game, surpassing offensive juggernauts such as Wrys and Azama. As a result, the only reason to use Mist as an offensive healer would be either out of bias, love, memes, or a combination of the three.

Poor Defense

At a meager base 20, Mist’s defense leaves her vulnerable to any and all foes who can inflict physical damage, and most of them will be able to defeat Mist in a single round thanks to her terrible Speed, which leaves her open to enemy follow-up attacks.
