Rabbit's Reviews #249: Parvati (4* Lancer)

Parvati is really really good. As the first AoE Quick Lancer, Parvati is not only one of the best SR Quick DPS servants, she’s one of the best Quick DPS servants period, particularly at high NP levels. Parvati’s impressive skillset and valuable utility make her one of the more reliable point servants for Quick setups that don’t involve double Skadi, and if you can run double Skadi, Parvati loops easily for big damage and strong CQ performance. Really excellent all-around.

Parvati has the second-lowest attack and the second-highest HP of the SR Lancers. This isn’t great for her damage, of course, but it does mean she’s pretty resilient, which is nice. Her star gen isn’t all that impressive as Quick servants go, but she has fairly nice NP gain bases, which are then boosted further by her skillset. For passives she has Magic Resistance and Core of the Goddess, which means she’s reasonably likely to avoid debuffs.

Parvati’s skillset is really excellent across-the-board. Recommended skill order is 1>2>3.

While Parvati obviously performs well in double-Skadi setups, the overall strength of her kit makes her a good candidate for even lower-end Quick teams. She moves quickly, speeds up the team, and slows down enemies, which means she can do well paired with the likes of Tristan, Laksmibai, Barti, and Summer Carmilla.

Starting NP CEs are a must for loop setups, but outside of that Parvati has a wide range of viable options. NP damage CEs (like The Black Grail) can help to overcome Parvati’s low base damage, while Quick-boosting CEs improve her overall performance.

Parvati is an excellent servant and Lancers are a strong class for grails. If you are able to get Parvati to NP2+ and you plan to aim for Skadi, especially, she’s a great use of your grails.

Parvati is one of the best Quick servants in the game, and unlike many of the other top-end Quick servants she doesn’t fall off particularly hard even if you can’t enable her optimal setups. She’s a really strong pull if you like green cards.
