Plumeria

Weapon: Flower of Plenty

Assist: Sweet Dreams

Special: Moonbow / Iceberg / Luna

Passive A: Fort. Def/Res / Fury / Atk/Res Push / R Duel Flying

Passive B: Sabotage Skills / Wings of Mercy / Aerobatics / Flier Formation

Passive C: Ground Orders / Guidance / Tactic Skills / Drive Skills / Flexible

Sacred Seal: Distant Guard / Guidance / Aerobatics / Flier Formation / Tactic Skills / Drive Skills

• This set is centered around making the most of Plumeria’s overwhelming capacity for support, proving a great asset to any team through her varied array of strengths: a high base Resistance, the power of her exclusive skills, ability to provide useful mobility-based support, and flexible movement. A +RES IV works best if aiming to focus on her ability to land debuffing skills, while +ATK helps Plumeria obtain stronger damage in the instance that she needs to fight and can also be used to draw away Chill Atk.
• Fort. Def/Res is a stellar A slot if hoping to maximize Plumeria’s consistency at landing Sabotage and/or Ploy skills, while also helping mitigate her poor Defense somewhat; it does inflict -2 Attack on the dark fairy but again, she shouldn’t really be seeing combat here so this is negligible. Fury is another choice that -- while less potent at boosting her Resistance -- lends itself to a more generalist approach while still enhancing her visible stats, though her base Atk/Res Push is perfectly serviceable on a budget.
  • Although it does nothing to enhance her support or combat potential, R Duel Flying may be a worthwhile consideration to make here if aiming to use Plumeria in Colosseum related modes to boost her scoring potential.
• Sabotage skills -- such as her base Sabotage Spd -- are a perfect accompaniment to Plumeria’s base support capabilities and leverage her high Resistance to apply map-wide debuffs on opposing foes; the matter of whether to keep Sabotage Spd or swap out for another will depend on her specific team. Alternatively, if one is content with the debuffs she can already apply via Sweet Dreams, movement-based skills like Wings of Mercy and Aerobatics can be a great asset to improve her maneuverability. 
• The C slot is flexible since virtually any support skill that one has readily available can be used here, but some standout options do exist. Most notably, thanks to her flying status, Plumeria can equip abilities like Ground Orders and Guidance (which are exclusive to the movement type) to greatly augment her allies’ mobility. Although one can potentially leverage her base Atk/Res Rein to support her allies, it can be unwieldy to use in such a way as it is meant to be a mostly selfish skill, so doing so is generally not recommended.
• Plumeria’s choice of seal is equally flexible -- forms in-combat buffs may be of particular value here to build upon the bonuses she already applies, but anything that compliments her team composition works.

Weapon: Flower of Plenty / Conch Bouquet (+RES) / Rauðrserpent+ (+RES) / Rauðrfox (+RES)

Assist: Sweet Dreams

Special: Noontime / Iceberg / Moonbow

Passive A: Mirror Stance / Atk/Res Push / Distant Def

Passive B: Wings of Mercy / Sabotage Skills / Mystic Boost / Guard / Quick Riposte

Passive C: Atk/Res Rein / Ground Orders / Guidance / Flier Buffs / Tactic Skills / Flexible

Sacred Seal: Fierce Stance / Mirror Stance / Quick Riposte / Distant Def

• Thanks to her innately high Resistance, Plumeria can prove quite effective at performing as a dedicated magic tank; this quality is especially valuable during Astra season given her red coloring and the presence of Thrasir on enemy team compositions. A +RES IV makes for a natural fit to enhance her resilience to magical attacks, but +ATK remains a great option to land more consistent OHKOs and/or if using healing Specials. 
• Plumeria’s Flower of Plenty may be kept should one wish to retain some of her support, but otherwise her PRF can be safely swapped out in favor of something else -- and if one chooses to do so, a +RES refine should be taken to fortify her magical durability. 
  • Conch Bouquet is an interesting weapon that combines a powerful Atk/Res boost with built-in healing while having functionality in both phases; however, it does come at the cost of only working for one combat in each phase. 
  • If this is deemed undesirable, Rauðrfox functions similarly and effectively enhances all of Plumeria’s stats through the in-combat debuff it applies on her opponent but loses out on Conch Bouquet’s healing. 
  • For a pure defensive boost, Rauðrserpent should be considered as it offers the greatest boost to Plumeria’s Resistance via its built-in Distant Def effect. 
• Mirror Stance synergizes wonderfully with this build’s intended playstyle -- not only does it boost the dark fairy’s Attack and Resistance by an ample amount in the Enemy Phase, but its third-tier version also comes with built-in Guard for protection against foes’ Specials. Distant Def is another defensive-oriented skill that works well here, with its upgraded version carrying the bonus of negating enemy bonuses. Her native Atk/Res Push offers a stronger enhancement to the aforementioned stats and even works in the Player Phase as well, but one should be cautious about the chip damage it inflicts. 
• Plumeria’s choice of B slot has room for variances, as the best option depends on how selfish one wants her to be: 
  • Should one wish to keep the focus on maintaining her supportive capabilities, Wings of Mercy makes for a great selection for improved mobility. Other commonly used skills like Aerobatics may also suit this goal. 
  • For a mix of utility to both Plumeria’s and her allies’ performances, Sabotage skills are a highly valuable alternative since everyone can benefit from the debuffs applied with them -- that being said, she won’t gain much by keeping her native Sabotage Spd as she’s unlikely to avoid doubles, even with the debuff.
  • Her combat-oriented options are a bit limited due to her flying status restricting her from accessing various skills. That being said, Mystic Boost is wonderful to extend Plumeria’s anti-magic capabilities to dragons and also benefit from self-healing. Quick Riposte is a potential alternative to guarantee her follow-up attack, or Guard to halt enemy Special activations if Mirror Stance 3 isn’t used. 
• The Fierce Stance and Mirror Stance seals assist Plumeria in securing OHKOs against opposing foes, which she can do quite reliably with the proper investment due to her innately high Attack and access to a four-point +ATK IV; the latter also makes her even more durable to magic. Quick Riposte may be considered to ensure her follow-up attack (if it isn’t already taken in her B slot), or Distant Def or Warding Stance if wanting to focus purely on her bulk instead of her damage.

Weapon: Flower of Plenty / Rauðrblade+ 

Assist: Sweet Dreams

Special: Glimmer / Moonbow / Draconic Aura 

Passive A: Atk/Res Push / Sturdy Impact

Passive B: Mystic Boost / Wings of Mercy / Sabotage Skills 

Passive C: Atk/Res Rein / Ground Orders / Guidance / Flier Buffs / Tactic Skills / Flexible

Sacred Seal: Death Blow / Heavy Blade / Sturdy Blow / Mirror Blow 

• One also has the option of equipping Plumeria with a more straightforward, offensive-leaning build by merit of how high her innate firepower is. Stacking as much Attack on her as possible (including through her IVs) is to strengthen her consistency at landing OHKOs, as this is critical to her success and longevity -- she’s far too slow to naturally perform follow-up attacks on her own, and the enemy surviving will likely result in her death if they deal physical damage and can counterattack. 

• Although her Flower of Plenty can be kept since she’s still meant to have some supportive value, the majority of her utility comes from elsewhere (namely Sweet Dreams) so it may be worthwhile to consider swapping her PRF out for a Blade tome instead. Through its substantially higher damage ceiling, a Blade tome renders it much easier for Plumeria to land OHKOs -- at the cost of being entirely dependent on receiving field buffs for her damage. 

• Glimmer and Moonbow are recommended Specials for their exceedingly low cooldowns, which lets Plumeria actually benefit from the damage boost provided by a Special in contrast to those with longer cooldowns. However, if using a Blade tome, Draconic Aura is a bit of an exception when alongside the Heavy Blade seal; it will then activate at the same rate Glimmer and Moonbow normally does, but grants much heftier damage. 

• Atk/Res Push 4 is a standout A slot that is both economical (as it already comes included in Plumeria’s base kit) and effective, bolstering her offensive might and magic durability considerably. Although this will generally function perfectly fine, Sturdy Impact skills is a highly lucrative alternative that serves to improve her survivability through its negating of her foe’s follow-up attack and sizable +10 Defense boost, which may even let her survive a physical enemy retaliation should she fail to OHKO.

• Mystic Boost is likely her best choice of B slot skill from a combat perspective, pairing well with her two main A slots; it helps counteract the self-inflicted chip damage from Atk/Res Push, and pairs well with the pseudo-defensive nature of Sturdy Impact by forcing dragons to target her Resistance and healing off any damage she may incur. Otherwise, Plumeria’s standard support B slot options can be considered instead. The same goes for her C slot should one not wish to use Atk/Res Rein. 

• Lastly, any seal that elevates Plumeria’s raw damage output should be fielded if not using the Heavy Blade seal alongside a Blade tome, including Death Blow, Sturdy Blow, and Mirror Blow.
