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

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.
