Safiyyah Pros and Strength

Follow-Up Attack DPS

Follow-Up Attack	Triggering Conditions
Trait	Safiyyah or an ally attacks a nearby enemy who possesses The Hanged Men's Mark.
Blade Chase	An ally attacks an enemy posessing The Hanged Men's Mark
Settlement of the Hanged Men	Attacking a [Dying] enemy who possesses The Hanged Men's Mark.

Safiyyah has multiple ways to trigger her follow-up attacks so understanding each trigger will help you increase the total amount of damage you can deal in one turn. It is also important to note that Safiyyah's follow-up attacks are all reliant on The Hanged Men's Mark, so bring allies who can also apply this debuff.

High DPS Chain Attacks

Because all of Safiyyah's follow-up attacks can chain-react from each other, the potential damage from the chain of attacks is very high. For example, triggering Safiyyah's Trait also triggers Blade Chase. If an enemy is dropped into the [Dying] state during this time, Saffiyah will also trigger her [Settlement of the Hanged Men] skill, inflicting even more damage and possibly killing the target.

Unlimited Evasion Counters

Safiyyah's RK 3 [Shadowless Blade] skill allows Safiyyah to Dodge all single-target attacks for 1 turn. Each attack dodged this way will trigger a cone-shaped AoE attack in the direction that Safiyyah was attacked from. This attack deals great damage and also applies [Vulnerable II] to all the enemies that were hit. Effective use of this ability allows Safiyyah to deal with groups of enemies even when she's alone.

Powerful H.M. Agent Summon

Abilities	Effects
Trait	Applies The Hanged Men's Mark to the closest enemy and deals 30% Physical DMG. Additionally deals 15% DMG to any enemies with The Hanged Men's Mark.
Escape (Active)	Instant ability that swaps the Agent with any target ally within 7 tiles.
Curtain Call (Passive)	Self-destructs after 2 turns. Enemies within 1 tile of the Agent during self-destruction will take 40% physical damage and receive 2 random Level 2 Attribute Debuffs.

Using Safiyyah's RK 7 [Anti-espionage Order] will summon a powerfull H.M. Agent that can be manually controlled and has access to his own skills. While not powerful in terms of damage dealt, the H.M. Agent's strength lies in its ability to trigger Safiyyah's follow-up attacks, gain positional advantages, absorb attacks, and apply debuffs.

Useful Normal Attacks

At RK 9, Safiyyah can choose between (Right) [Sealing Attack] or (Left) [Team Attack]. In most cases, [Team Attack] is the better choice because of the buffs that it grants to nearby allies. However, there are some cases where granting Speed to an ally may mess up your desired turn order. Other times, there are enemies with Passive skills that you want to disable. As both of these attacks are useful, we recommend spending a Castallia to access both of these attacks as needed.

Role-Changing and Aura Utility

Safiyyah has access to the [H.M. Commander Aura], which increases the damage allies deal against nearby enemies affected by The Hanged Men's Mark. Additionally, Safiyyah has a unique ability that allows her to swap out her Seeker role for any role present on the map, allowing her to bypass the type-weakness chart and adapt to face-off against any enemy.

Highly Adaptable

Safiyyah is one of the strongest characters in Sword of Convallaria. She can adapt to almost any situation, and has more damage than most of the SoC cast. However, her adaptability means that there isn't necessarily a one-size-fits-all build, and you will have to adjust her skill selections depending on the content you are tackling.
