Greatsword Drake Strategy Tips

An Attacker Who Can Buff Himself

Greatsword Drake is an Attacker who can buff himself. Through the effects of his Passive and Normal Skill, he can grant himself King's Magic, which increases his Lightning Attack and Crit Chance when he attacks an enemy affected by Lightning Burst. In addition, he can shorten his skill cooldowns to deal high damage with tighter skill rotations.

King's Magic Boosts Ultimate DMG

Drake's Ultimate Move deals increased damage according to the number of King's Magic stacks, which are applied with his Normal Skill. Note that a Lightning Burst is required to apply King's Magic, so attack with skills after triggering a Lightning Burst before dealing massive damage with Drake's Ultimate Move.

Pairs Well with Gilthunder

Seven Deadly Sins: Origin (7DSO) - Gilthunder

Drake's kit has good synergy with Gilthunder who's equipped with a Longsword or Sword and Shield. A Longsword/Sword and Shield Gilthunder can lower the enemy's Lightning Defense with his Passive Skill effect, which significantly increases Drake's damage output.

Daisy with a Grimoire is Also Viable

We can also recommended teaming him up with a Daisy equipped with a Grimoire. Grimoire Daisy has a Passive that increases Lightning Element Damage and Crit Chance, so you can expect high damage output from Drake.

Staff Drake Strategy Tips

A Character Who Can Inflict Shock on Enemies

(Staff) Drake is a character who can inflict Shock on enemies with his Normal Skill or Tag Skill. By inflicting Shock, he can deal percentage damage based on his Attack every 2 seconds, making him useful as a sub-Attacker who continuously chips away at the enemy's HP.

Can Inflict Paralysis on Shocked Enemies

When you use a Special Attack against an enemy affected by Shock, you can inflict Paralysis. Enemies inflicted with Paralysis are unable to act and their Lightning Defense is reduced, making it easier to deal damage with Lightning Element attacks.

Can Lower Crit Defense

With his Passive and Special Attack effects, he can inflict the Electric Current effect on enemies. Enemies inflicted with Electric Current have reduced Crit Defense, making it easier to deal massive damage with Crits.

Excellent Synergy with Longsword/Lance Gilthunder

(Staff) Drake has good synergy with a Gilthunder equipped with a Longsword or Lance. Both can inflict the Shock effect, but Lance Gilthunder in particular can also inflict Paralysis just like Drake, allowing you to constantly keep the enemy's Lightning Defense lowered.

Longsword Drake Strategy Tips

A Character Who Can Easily Activate Burst

Longsword Drake is a character who can easily activate Lightning Burst against enemies. It's easy for him to accumulate the Burst Gauge with his Normal Skill and Special Attack, and with his Passive effect, while the Pulse effect is applied, he can increase his own Lightning Element Burst efficiency by 30%.

Can Decrease Enemy Burst Resistance

With his Ultimate Move effect, he can lower an enemy's All Elemental Burst Resistance by 30%. Enemies with lowered resistance will have their Burst Gauge accumulate more easily than usual, so activating skills in the order of Normal Skill → Ultimate Move → Special Attack allows you to efficiently accumulate the Burst Gauge.

Can Inflict DoT on Enemies

His Normal Skill applies the Pulse effect, dealing damage to surrounding enemies every 0.3 seconds. Since he can deal continuous damage to enemies, it's also possible to chip away at enemy HP while dodging attacks.
