Spring Marisa

• Preferred IV: +SPD / -RES or -HP
• Weapon: Firesweep Lance+
• Assist: Reposition
• Special: Moonbow
• Passive A: Atk/Spd Solo / Life and Death / Swift Sparrow
• Passive B: Chill Def / Chill Spd / Hit and Run
• Passive C: Flier Guidance / Flexible
• Sacred Seal: Heavy Blade / Quickened Pulse

This is a standard Firesweep setup for Spring Marisa. By taking advantage of a Firesweep weapon’s ability to negate enemy counterattacks, Spring Marisa can focus her entire build purely on offense for maximum damage output.

A low cooldown Special like Moonbow works best so that Spring Marisa can activate it frequently for quick damage boosts. Pairing it with either the Heavy Blade or Quickened Pulse Seal will work well, as both can allow her to activate it more frequently. Heavy Blade works best when Spring Marisa has access to buff and/or debuff support from her team, as otherwise her Attack isn’t quite high enough to reliably activate it against high Attack enemies. Otherwise, Quickened Pulse is a consistent option that will give her a stronger first combat.

Atk/Spd Solo is ideal as it gives the most offensive stats with an easy-to-meet condition. However, Life and Death has better availability and is only marginally worse than Atk/Spd Solo due to Firesweep Lance negating enemy counterattacks, thereby removing the vast majority of the risk to Spring Marisa when she attacks. Swift Sparrow gives less offensive stats than Life and Death, but may be worth considering since it doesn’t impact her defenses, allowing her to tank a hit if needed.

Thanks to Spring Marisa’s fantastic Speed (boosted by an offensive A skill), Chill Def is a fantastic choice for increasing her damage output while also providing support for her team. Chill Spd is worth considering if she doesn’t have a +Spd Asset, if debuffing Defense is already covered, or if fighting very high Speed opponents. Another option is Hit and Run, which gives Spring Marisa additional mobility after attacking, which greatly increases her survivability.

• Preferred IV: +SPD / -RES or -HP
• Weapon: Slaying Lance+ (+Spd) / Harmonic Lance+ (+Spd) / Flashing Carrot+ (+Spd)
• Assist: Reposition
• Special: Moonbow / Luna
• Passive A: Sturdy Impact / Atk/Spd Solo / Swift Sparrow / Fury
• Passive B: Desperation / Chill Def / Chill Spd
• Passive C: Flier Guidance / Flexible
• Sacred Seal: Darting Blow / Heavy Blade

This is a standard offensive set for Spring Marisa (without Firesweep Lance). Due to Spring Marisa’s strong offensive stats and relatively unimpressive defensive stats, she is very well suited toward an offensive set like this one. Opting to use a lance other than a Firesweep Lance gives her some more options due to weapon refinement granting her additional stats.

Slaying Lance is ideal for this set, as it allows Spring Marisa to consistently activate Moonbow while in Desperation range without having to rely on the Heavy Blade Seal; this is important because it then allows her to use Darting Blow instead, which then allows her to get her Speed high enough that she no longer needs to boost it with her A skill, allowing her to be an excellent user of Sturdy Impact, which not only enhances her combat power, but also greatly increases her survivability outside of Desperation range.

If Sturdy Impact is unavailable, then Spring Marisa has a myriad of other options available to her. Both Harmonic Lance and Flashing Carrot will boost her damage output nicely (Flashing Carrot has the additional benefit of boosting her bulk as well, as long as she’s fighting an opponent at 100% HP). She then has all the standard offensive A skills available to her: Atk/Spd Solo, Swift Sparrow, and Fury. These are then best paired with the Heavy Blade Seal in order to allow Spring Marisa to activate Moonbow in Desperation range.

Outside of utilizing Desperation to safely double without being counterattacked, Spring Marisa can opt to utilize one of the Chill skills to enhance her combat performance while also supporting her team. If not using Desperation, then Spring Marisa has no need for the Heavy Blade Seal (unless wanting to use a higher cooldown Special for increased damage, like Luna).
