Pamina Pros and Strength

Strike Back Specialist

Pamina specializes in utilizing Strike Backs when attacked by enemy targets. Not only do her strike backs deal a lot of damage, they also have a large number of uses, and even a life steal effect. Because of this, a well-built Pamina can easily solo carry a number of stages in the game.

Increase Damage with Defense

Pamina takes the best offense is a good defebse backwards quote quite literally thanks to her [Indomitable Stance] passive. This skill takes a portion of Pamina's defenses and adds them to her AoE attacks. Note that increases received from Engravings and Buffs also affect the increases to her AoE attacks.

Taunts Enemies

Pamina can inflict Taunted on foes with a number of her abilities. This forces the affected target to use normal attacks on Pamina. The largest weakness of characters that specialize in counters is that an enemy needs to attack them first. Pamina can circumvent this weakness by forcing her enemies to attack her.

Beware of Immunities

Some enemies are immune to Taunt, and this can lessen Pamina's effectives. However, enemies who are immune to Taunts are instead afflicted with the [Pamina's Challenge] debuff, which increases the damage that they take. So in the end, it's a win-win.

Signature Weapon Interactions

Sword of Convallaria (SoC) - Army-Breaking Spear

The triggering conditions for Army-breaking Spear can easily be met by [Onslaught - No Foe Can Stand]. Triggering these conditions allows Pamina to re-use powerful attacks, so if you want her to be more active, consider pulling for her signature weapon.

Defense-Oriented Builds are Viable

As a strike back specialist, Pamina needs to have the durability to withstand attacks from many different sources. Focusing on increasing her attack will make her vulnerable against Seekers and mages in higher difficulties. Therefore, it is important to create a defensive foundation with her Gear and Skills.

Star Level Up Priority & Recommended Stars for Pamina

Aim to Reach 2★ → 3★ → 5★

Star Level Up PriorityRecommended Star Level
S Tier2★ → 3★ → 5★

When upgrading Pamina’s star level, it’s best to either stop at 3-stars or go all the way to 5-stars. Start by aiming for 2-star and 3-star to increase her number of counterattacks. If you plan to run Pamina in various content, 5-stars is worth pursuing as it adds even more counterattacks along with NRG recovery and debuff cleansing effects.

This is a build meant for facing off against multiple enemies alone. Initiate fights using [Onslaught - No Foe Can Stand] and then wipe them out with counterattacks. It is also viable to substitute Maverick's Cloak for Crystal Burst Armor if you prefer.

Priority Skills

SkillPriority and Details
Indomitable StanceIndomitable Stance★★★★★
A passive that reduces damage taken while boosting the damage of AoE attacks, including those from your Trait. It’s an excellent Skill that blends offense and defense—especially worth prioritizing in [Strike Back]–focused builds.
Upright SpiritUpright Spirit★★★★★
While increasing healing received, this excellent Reaction also removes debuffs and restores HP each turn. It's generally a good choice to slot.
Onslaught - No Foe Can StandOnslaught - No Foe Can Stand★★★★★
This powerful Skill lets you move great distances while dealing damage and inflicting debuffs, and it also grants reduced damage taken and the [Resolve] effect. It pairs especially well with the weapon [Army-breaking Spear], and one of its key strengths is how easily its cooldown and cost can be reduced to zero. Prioritize equipping it for battles against multiple enemies.
Powerful AttackPowerful Attack★★★★★
Generally, equip this Basic Attack as it deals high damage.
Counterattack SlashCounterattack Slash★★★★★
Enables Counterattacks against enemies 3–8 tiles away and increases the damage dealt by both your Trait and this Skill’s Counterattack. It not only lets you retaliate against ranged enemies but also greatly boosts [Strike Back] damage, making it a high-priority Skill to equip.
Breakthrough SpearBreakthrough Spear★★★★
An AoE attack that nullifies [Resolve] and includes a selectable Skill with knockback. Both are easy to use with just 2 NRG and no cooldown, but you should only equip this Choice Skill when you have a clear strategy in mind. Remember that some enemies, like Alexei, are impervious to the nullification.
Secondary Priorities
SkillPriority and Details
Who Dares to ContendWho Dares to Contend★★★
A Skill that boosts the durability of both you and your allies. In single-target battles, it’s worth equipping if you want to bolster your entire party’s survivability.
Shield-breaking Fierce ThrustShield-breaking Fierce Thrust★★★
A Skill that inflicts -40% Physical Defense and knockback in an area. AoE knockback can be highly effective in certain stages, so equip this skill when you have a specific strategy in mind.
Frontline ActionFrontline Action★★★
While increasing SPD, this is a skill that reduces damage taken by 20% when HP is 70% or higher. Useful when you want to act before specific enemies or reduce damage taken.
Rapid ComboRapid Combo★★
An easy-to-use single-target Skill thanks to its 0 cooldown. Its buff removal is also handy, so when building for single-target battles, consider this or [Breakthrough Spear] as your primary damage option.
Inertial ChopInertial Chop★★
A passive that boosts damage dealt when using active attacks. It's a solid choice when you're building with a focus on offense.
Front DefenseFront Defense
The effect of greatly reducing damage taken from the front is very useful. However, Pamina cannot gain the effect of facing the front when attacked, except through the [Parry] buff of [Who Dares to Contend], so generally, equip [Upright Spirit] over this.
Surefire AttackSurefire Attack
As a Breaker, Pamina is innately weak against Seekers. These Seekers typically have some form of [Dodge], so this skill can sometimes help when facing Seekers, but you will always want to have more appropriate answers to those types of enemies, so this skill has a low priority.
