Jeanne d'Arc Alter (Berserker)'s Strengths

Versatile Berserker Attacker with 20% NP Battery

Summer Jeanne d'Arc (Alter) is a versatile single-target (ST) Berserker attacker who deals 1.5x damage to most classes. Since she's obtainable from the Leaves of Evocation exchange shop, it's very easy to get her to Noble Phantasm (NP) Level 5, maximizing her damage output.

Deals High Damage Easily via Self-Buffs

Her skills increase her Attack and Buster Card effectiveness, allowing her to deal significant damage on her own. However, keep in mind that her Buster buff only lasts for one turn, so she'll need support Servants to maintain high damage output over multiple turns.

Has a 3-Buster Card Deck

Summer Jeanne (Alter) has three Buster Cards in her Command Card deck, making it easy to deal heavy damage with normal attacks. Additionally, her Buster-type NP helps create Buster Chains.

Has Only 1 Arts Card, But High Performance

While she only has one Arts Card, it has a high hit count. She can also buff her own NP Gain, allowing her to build her NP gauge easily. Placing her Arts Card third in a Brave Chain allows her to gain a large amount of NP.

Excellent Survivability via Turn-Based Evasion

Summer Jeanne (Alter)'s first skill applies Evade (1 time per turn for 3 turns). This mitigates a Berserker's natural squishiness, and since it lasts for three turns, it significantly increases her survivability, especially if enemies don't focus their attacks on her.

Easy NP Gain on Enemy Hits

Compared to other classes, Berserkers gain more NP when taking damage. Since her first skill also buffs her NP Gain, she can generate a large amount of NP when hit by multi-hit attacks.

Can Apply Burn From Multiple Sources

Summer Jeanne d'Arc (Alter) Burn Sources
Fallen Witch A (Skill 2)	- Increase ATK (3 turns) & inflict Burn during normal attacks (3 turns) for yourself - Deals 500 Burn damage over time
Völkermord Feuerdrache (Noble Phantasm)	- Deal significant damage & inflict Burn (3 turns) to a single enemy - Deals 3000 (Overcharge Lv5: 5000) Burn damage over time

Summer Jeanne (Alter)'s second skill and her NP both allow her to apply Burn, enabling a damage-over-time (DoT) playstyle. The Burn damage from her NP is particularly high (3,000 to 5,000 depending on Overcharge level), which helps significantly in chipping away at an enemy's HP.

Role Diminishes Once Your Roster is Fully Built

Summer Jeanne (Alter)'s Berserker class makes her a great ST attacker for the early to mid-game. However, as a 4-star Servant, her stats are lower than those of a 5-star. Her self-buffs are solid but not game-breaking, so her overall utility may decline once you obtain stronger 5-star alternatives for your roster.
