Ophelia

• Preferred IV: +ATK / -DEF or -RES
• Weapon: Missiletainn
• Assist: Rally Up Attack+ / Reposition / Flexible
• Special: Blazing Light / AoE / Luna / Moonbow / Glimmer
• Passive A: Life and Death / Death Blow / Atk/Res Solo
• Passive B: Special Spiral
• Passive C: Odd Atk Wave / Flexible
• Sacred Seal: Quickened Pulse / Hardy Bearing / Attack +3

Missiletainn’s unique effect can provide great set-up for a build designed to maximize Ophelia’s usage of her Special Skill. For the best performance, Ophelia will want at least one mage ally or an ally with Infantry Pulse to provide an additional -1 to her cooldown count. This build assumes that Ophelia meets the required conditions, resulting in a -3 to her cooldown count on the first turn (-1 from Ophelia, -1 from her mage ally, -1 from Quickened Pulse) in addition to her permanent -1.

The key focus of this build is two-fold: +ATK, Life and Death, and Odd Atk Wave all serve to maximize Ophelia’s attack power and drastically improve her ability to OHKO her enemy. All of these bonuses amount to an incredible 65 Attack when initiating with Life and Death, or 68 Attack with Death Blow 4, before merges or any other external effects. Life and Death is still the stronger choice over Death Blow 4 however, as the skill impacts the damage of her AoE Special skill as well as her subsequent attack. This fantastic damage is also excluding the additional damage from her Special skill, which will be fully charged on the first turn by Missiletainn and Quickened Pulse, and after every subsequent battle thanks to Special Spiral.

Special Spiral is the crux of this build, and arguably irreplaceable for its consistency. Though costly to acquire, the -2 cooldown count that it provides ensures that Ophelia can activate her Special skill at the start of every single battle she initiates. This drastically improves her match-ups against enemy heroes that she would normally struggle to break, such as bulky, high-resistance heroes or green heroes she suffers a triangle disadvantage against.

Blazing Light performs the best out of all of Ophelia's Special skills, though somewhat limits Ophelia's options for teammates. Alternatively, Ophelia can charge Luna on the first turn without the need for a mage ally, and Special Spiral will fully charge Luna after every engagement, ensuring that Ophelia can maintain her immense power. Moonbow is a reasonable alternative and frees up her seal slot for Attack +3, but Blazing Light will perform far better, and Luna is also a stronger alternative.

Ophelia's best Seal is dependant on her team composition: if she has the luxury of mage teammates then she can forgo Quickened Pulse for Hardy Bearing or Attack +3. The former allows her to safely engage heroes with Vantage who would otherwise retaliate after sustaining damage from her Special skill, whereas the latter further improves her damage output.

• Preferred IV: +ATK / -DEF or -RES
• Weapon: Missiletainn
• Assist: Rally Up Attack+ / Reposition / Flexible
• Special: Luna / Dragon Fang / Blazing Light
• Passive A: Death Blow / Atk/Res Solo
• Passive B: Chill Res / Swordbreaker
• Passive C: Odd Atk Wave / Even Spd Wave / Flexible
• Sacred Seal: Quickened Pulse / Heavy Blade / Attack +3

For those without access to Special Spiral, Chill Res from Ophelia's base kit can be a serviceable, though weaker alternative. With Quickened Pulse, Ophelia can charge Luna on the first turn without the need for a mage ally, and take out most enemy heroes with the combination of her Special activation, Death Blow and Chill Res.

Like the previous build, Ophelia wants to heavily invest in her Attack stat. Death Blow and Chill Res are easily obtainable, whereas Odd Atk Wave is an expensive investment but unnecessary if Ophelia has an ally equipped with Atk Tactic or another buffing skill. Quickened Pulse is vital, as Ophelia will not be able to prepare Luna on the first turn without it, though if you opt to run Ophelia alongside another mage, this seal can be substituted for Heavy Blade or Attack +3.

• Preferred IV: +SPD / -DEF or -RES
• Weapon: Blárblade / Missiletainn
• Assist: Rally Up Attack+ / Reposition / Flexible
• Special: Glimmer / Moonbow
• Passive A: Swift Sparrow / Fury / Death Blow / Darting Blow
• Passive B: Desperation / Chill Res / Swordbreaker
• Passive C: Even Spd Wave / Odd Atk Wave / Flexible
• Sacred Seal: Speed +3 / Heavy Blade / Attack +3

For those who happen to have +SPD instead of +ATK, Ophelia may opt for the timeless Blade-tome over her unique Missiletainn. To take advantage of her solid base 36 Speed with a boon, Ophelia will greatly benefit from additional buffs. Speed is the obvious necessity here, hence the recommendation of skills like Swift Sparrow and Even Spd Wave, and Ophelia must maximize this stat in order to take advantage of the classic combination of skills: Blárblade and Desperation. With a +6 to Attack and Speed, as well as the bonuses from Swift Sparrow and her +SPD boon, Ophelia’s offensive stats transform into an impressive 55 Attack, 49 Speed and +12 damage on initiation, which can be further augmented through additional team support.

The most important skill in this build is Swift Sparrow: the bonus to both Attack and Speed is the perfect addition to a +SPD Ophelia. Blárblade is recommended as Ophelia will desperately want a buff to her Speed, which would also benefit this tome. With that said, Missiletainn is perfectly serviceable, though Ophelia’s damage will come from her Special skills rather than her follow-up attacks.
