SP Safiyyah Pros and Strength

SP Safiyyah's Character Overview

Various Ways to Deal Damage

SP Safiyyah uses special attack methods such as Assisting Attacks and Alert to inflict damage. [Mobile Squad! Trump Tactic] uses basic attacks to assist 4 characters within 3 squares of the enemy, so under the right conditions, it is possible to deal extremely high amounts of single-target damage.

Positioning is Key

SP Safiyyah's damage output is largely reliant on the positions of her allies relative to her target. This makes skills like [Frontline Deployment] indispensable to create the right conditions to deal the most damage.

Assisting Attacks Apply Special Effects

The assisting attacks executed by SP Safiyyah's allies can trigger special effects from that character's basic attack. For example, if you have a character that applies infection using basic attacks, that character can also apply infection stacks when using an assisting attack.

Party-Wide Damage Increase

SP Safiyyah passively applies [Mobile Squad Marks] to surrounding enemies during her turn. This increases the overall damage your party deals, so keep this in mind when positioning SP Safiyyah.

Healing and Buffing Capabilities

SP Safiyyah can access effective healing skills such as [Rebirth], which is a global buff and heal, as well as [Safeguard Protocol], which recovers allies at the end of an action. Additionally, SP Safiyyah's trait grants buffs to her allies, making her a very potent and viable support character.

Conditional Potency

SP Safiyyah can be very powerful under the right conditions. To demonstrate her true value, you need well-built characters in your party, as well proper positioning during fights. The effectiveness of SP Safiyyah's heals and buffs are also lower when compared to other supports that specialize in them, so think carefully about whether or not you can fully utilize SP Safiyyah.

SP Skill Unit

If you own both Safiyyah and SP Safiyyah, you can acquire an additional skill for both characters known as SP Skills.

Blade Chase for SP Safiyyah

Once your SP Safiyyah reaches 3★ and original Safiyyah unlocks Blade Chase, you can then acquire Blade Chase (SP Skill) for SP Safiyyah, which is a powerful (Reaction) ability that combines an assisting attack and HP recovery.

Joint Strike for Original Safiyyah

Once your original Safiyyah reaches 3★, and your SP Safiyyah unlocks Joint Strike, you can then acquire Joint Strike (SP Skill) for Safiyyah.

Star Level Up Priority & Recommended Stars for SP Safiyyah

Aim to Reach 3★ → 5★

Star Level Up Priority	Recommended Star Level
	3★ → 5★

At 3-stars, SP Safiyyah’s support attacks and overwatch damage are boosted, and she also unlocks a Silhouette skill—making it a solid milestone to aim for first. If you're focusing on single-target battles or aiming for high scores in Tower of Adversity, pushing to 5-star is highly recommended.

Best Builds for SP Safiyyah

Single-Target Build

Basic Attack								Reaction								Ascension
Joint Strike								Blade Chase (SP Skill)								United Strength
Skill
Mobile Squad! Trump Tactic								Together With You								Safeguard Protocol
Weapon								Trinket								Tarot
Nocturnal Glow								Disaster Bottle								Redemption of The Judgment

This is a build that emphasizes SP Safiyyah's single-target capabilities. Buff allies using [Together With You] and then start dealing massive damage with [Mobile Squad! Trump Tactic]. Since NRG consumption is high, bring characters like Taair who can recover NRG. Alternatively, use Tactical Skills or a swap out for a Cornucopia Dagger to help alleviate the NRG costs.

Multi-Target Build

Basic Attack								Reaction								Ascension
Joint Strike								Blade Chase (SP Skill)								United Strength
Skill
Mobile Squad! Trump Tactic								Sniper, Cover Me!								Frontline Deployment
Weapon								Trinket								Tarot
Nocturnal Glow								Hunter's Intuition								Destruction of The Tower

This is a build for multi-target battles. Use [Frontline Deployment] to move your allies and join the attack. By reducing cooldowns, you can use [Sniper, Cover Me!] every turn, allowing you to deal high damage and significantly delay the enemy's advance. It's also recommended to include healing Skills in your formation as needed.

Priority Skills

Skill	Priority and Details
Frontline Deployment	★★★★★ A powerful [Instant] Skill that moves allies up to 5 tiles. Easy to use and effective at repositioning allies with low movement, helping allies escape danger, or helping powerful attackers advance. Also pairs well with [Joint Strike], which triggers an [Assisting Attack] when she is nearby.
Sniper, Cover Me!	★★★★★ An excellent [Alert] Skill that grants [Dodge], interrupts enemy actions, and deals high damage. It has no NRG cost and can be used every turn by reducing its CD, making it have very good synergy with characters or Tactical Skills that can reduce CD.
Joint Strike	★★★★★ A very powerful Basic Attack with long Range that makes allies near enemies perform an [Assisting Attack]. If allies' attack performance is high, the damage dealt will also increase, so position attackers nearby when able.
Mobile Squad! Trump Tactic	★★★★★ A Skill that makes up to 4 allies within 3 tiles of the target enemy perform an [Assisting Attack]. Under the right conditions, such as gathering attackers and applying buffs/debuffs, it can deal extremely high single-target damage. Its NRG cost is high at 3, but having no CD is also excellent.
Blade Chase (SP Skill)	★★★★★ A powerful Reaction where SP Safiyyah performs an [Assisting Attack] when an ally uses a single-target attack. Furthermore, since it also heals, it's useful in any stage. Note that it cannot be learned if you don't own Safiyyah (Original).
Safeguard Protocol	★★★★ A passive that heals 2 allies at the end of the turn. The amount recovered is high, it targets allies across the entire Field, and activates unconditionally. If you have a dedicated healer, or when enemy stats are high, swapping it out with [Solemnity] is also an option.

Skill	Priority and Details
Solemnity	★★★ An aura that lowers the attack power of surrounding enemies. It activates unconditionally, so it's useful if you can recover NRG and SP Safiyyah can consistently use powerful Skills. Use it interchangeably with the healing [Safeguard Protocol].
Battlefield Healing	★★★ A Reaction that heals surrounding allies when attacked. Recommended for low-difficulty stages where it's okay for SP Safiyyah to take attacks.
Together With You	★★★ A Skill that grants a buff enhancing allies' offense and defense for 3 turns. Since SP Safiyyah often positions herself near allied characters for [Assisting Attacks], this skill has great potential. Especially recommended for single-target stages since defenses increase significantly.
Rebirth	★★★ An excellent healing Skill that can heal allies across the entire Field. Since the buffs and heals are somewhat insignificant, it's recommended for team compositions in stages where allies are separated or scattered.
Assault Order	★★ While healing allies, it grants an additional buff that triggers a follow-up attack when single-target attacks are made. Viable in stages requiring frequent single-target healing.
Crimson Memory	★★ A Leader's Aura that strengthens allies. Useful when NRG Recovery is sufficient, SP Safiyyah can repeatedly use powerful Skills, and many characters are present in the team.
Weak Spot Protection	★ Can be useful in stages where critical attacks are prevalent, but due to its low versatility, other Reactions are preferred.
Invigorating Strike	★ The NRG Recovery effect synergizes well with SP Safiyyah, but since the other Basic Attack [Joint Strike] is more effective, you generally want to use that over this.

Recommended Gear, Tarots, & Engravings

Recommended Weapons for SP Safiyyah

Nocturnal Glow

Cornucopia Dagger

Newborn Blade

For SP Safiyyah, [Nocturnal Glow], which also increases ally damage dealt, and the [Cornucopia Dagger], which provides NRG recovery, are especially recommended. This is due to her many Skills with high NRG consumption and no cooldown, making sustained energy management essential.

Recommended Trinkets for SP Safiyyah

Disaster Bottle

Shield of Justice

Hunter's Intuition

For SP Safiyyah, there’s no one-size-fits-all trinket, so it’s best to choose based on your goal. Use items like the [Disaster Bottle] or [Old Scrolls of Auguste] to support allies, the [Shield of Justice] or [Origin Hourglass] to boost healing effectiveness, or the [Hunter’s Intuition] if you’re building around her [Alert] skill.

Recommended Tarots for SP Safiyyah

Course of Fortune

Redemption of The Judgement

Destruction of The Tower

Choose a Tarot based on SP Safiyyah's objective — [Fate] is a solid pick for its reliable NRG recovery effect, [Judicator] works well if you need to remove buffs and apply debuffs, and [Tower] is ideal when you're joining the front lines with [Alert] or [Assisting Attacks].

Recommended Engravings for SP Safiyyah

Resonance	Effect
Wand Cup	At the end of the turn, there is a 50% chance to gain [Engraving Resonance]. Effect: When using an [active skill] next time, refunds the NRG consumed and resets the CD. The skill effect has a CD of 4 turns. (Does not trigger in real-time combat. The effect changes to increasing HP, ATK and DEF by 5%)
Sword Pentacle	When [unharmed], increases ATK and DEF by 12%.
Cup Cup	Increases Healing Effect by 10% and Healing Received by 10%.

Since SP Safiyyah's NRG consumption is high, the [Wand + Cup] combination—which sets both NRG and cost to 0—is the most recommended. Other strong options include [Sword + Pentacle] and [Sword + Wand] for boosting stats, and [Cup + Cup] to increase healing potency.
