Winter Sothis

Weapon: Snow’s Grace

Assist: Positional Assist

Special: Sirius

Passive A: Distant Counter

Passive B: Crafty Fighter / Slick Fighter / Special Fighter

Passive C: Pulse Smoke / Preference

Sacred Seal: Mystic Boost / Spd/Res Solo / Swift Stance / Distant Def

• Winter Sothis is an excellent Superunit in Aether Raids thanks to her solid statline and great exclusive skills, although she must be wary of the many powerful/irritating red units that litter AR-D teams(In particular Legendary Sigurd gives her nightmares)
• Sothis’s weapon of choice is her exclusive Snow’s Grace, giving her a hefty stat bonus for existing above 50% HP and nullifying dragon effective weaponry. A bit basic, but still a decent weapon overall.
• Sirius is essentially a Noontime that does decent damage on top of the healing while retaining Noontime’s low cooldown, giving her good damage output on top of the added staying power.
• Distant Counter is a no-brainer for most superunits, since nobody wants to become target practice for the glut of ranged nukes that plague Aether Raids.
• Sothis can make excellent use of Crafty Fighter to negate Impact effects thanks to her high Speed, and the Guard effect is also very useful to prevent foes from triggering their specials. Special Fighter trades the benefit of negating Impact effects for being able to instantly retaliate with Sirius when hit. Slick Fighter allows Winter Sothis to cosplay as Idunn and completely ignore debuffs, which can come in handy when dealing with Panic and Sabotage skills.
• Pulse Smoke gives Sothis another layer of protection against enemy specials, but this can be swapped as needed(or as budget demands)
• Mystic Boost gives Winter Sothis another healing source while negating adaptive damage and Wrathful Staff, although Mystic Boost’s main perk is it’s added healing. Otherwise, typical stat seals like Spd/Res Solo and Swift Stance will get the job done.

Weapon: Snow’s Grace

Assist: Positional Assist

Special: Sirius

Passive A: Distant Counter

Passive B: Special Fighter

Passive C: A/R Far Save

Sacred Seal: Mirror Stance / Mystic Boost

• Sothis’s decent Resistance lends itself well to a Far Save build, especially since Sothis can activate Sirius instantly after being attacked with the aid of Special Fighter, letting her KO many ranged units in a single hit while keeping herself healthy.
• Snow’s Grace remains Sothis’s weapon of choice as it greatly improves her matchup against Dragon effective weaponry while giving her a hefty stat bonus.
• A/R Far Save is the basis for this build as it lets Sothis take on Ranged foes in the place of allies within 2 spaces, and gives her a bonus to Attack and Resistance when this effect triggers(As if she needs it). This means that Sothis can effectively shield her allies from all ranged enemies until she’s KO’d which makes her a great compliment to units who otherwise struggle to fight mages.
• The usual defensive seals(Mystic Boost, Mirror Stance, Etc) are all a good fit for Sothis’s seal slot, be it for extra stats or additional healing.
