Flavia Pros and Strength

Generates Flower Fields and Summons

Flavia is a special Defender unit that fights by generating Flower Fields which both strengthen allies and weaken enemies. With the addition of Plant Buddies, which are summoned using Flavia's Trait and [Vital Seeds] skill, she becomes a versatile unit that can take on a variety of roles.

Skills That Create Flower Fields

Earth's Blessing	Nourishing Dewdrop	Lush Vitality
Sprout Abundantly	Nature's Protection	Verdant Arrow
Breath of Cornucopia	-	-

Flavia's [Abundance] Trait also creates [Flower Fields] 2 tiles around Flavia at the start of battle.

Smart Use of Summons is Essential

Flavia will automatically summon an allied Thorniflora at the start of every battle. This Thorniflora has some great attacks, and can even transform into other plants by using Flavia's [Vital Force] skill. Make sure you are adapting your Thorniflora and summons according to the requirements of the situation.

Proficient at Ranged AoE Attacks

While Flavia is equipped to handle most situations, she is particularly good at ranged AoE attacks. Assuming you're able to supply her with enough NRG, you can deal high area damage every turn by using [Nature's Protection], and Thorniflora's [Glorious Bloom].

Capable Healer

Summiflora's [Aura] allows for it to function as an effective healer. By fighting near a Summiflora, allies can maintain high HP since they will heal at the end of every action. If you want to entrust your Summiflora with the role of healer, use Flavia's [Sprout Abundantly] or Summiflora's [Migration] to position your Summiflora effectively.

Limited Guard

Luniflora is capable of taking damage in place of an ally with Guard. However, this ability will only trigger for a single attack, once per round, so it may not be effective in battles against multiple enemies.

Decide Flavia's Role in Advance

Flavia is a flexible character that you can adapt to the needs of your party. Depending on how you want to play her, you will want to think about which summons to use, and how to generate Flower Fields in advance.

Depending on your intended role, Flavia's positioning, NRG recovery, and summons must be adjusted, so build your party, and equip your tactical skills with Flavia's intended role in mind!

Star Level Up Priority & Recommended Stars for Flavia

Aim to Reach 3★ → 5★

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

Increasing Flavia’s star levels boosts her summons’ stats and the effects of the Flower Field panels. First, aim for 3-stars to significantly strengthen her summons. Then work toward 5-stars to increase damage taken by enemies standing in the [Flower Field]s from Flavia and her summons by 20%.

This build is focused on using [Thorniflora's] [Bloom] and Flavia's [Nature's Protection], which are abilities that are enhanced by [Vita Force - Bloom]. The positioning for both Flavia and [Thorniflora] are essential to deal the most damage, so prepare to support Flavia with allies and tactical skills as needed!

Weapon								Trinket								Tarot

Priority Skills

Skill	Priority and Details
Vital Force	★★★★★ Enhances and transforms Summoned Units. A must-have unless you're going all-in on single-target damage. Can also act as single-target support, and the added Physical Shield is especially valuable.
Lush Vitality	★★★★★ A Reaction that heals and creates [Flower Field] panels when nearby allies are hit by single-target attacks. A staple in most builds, but note that it doesn’t trigger from AoE attacks.
Nature's Protection	★★★★★ Performs an AoE attack centered around both Flavia and her Summoned Unit. Hitting with both raises the total damage dealt, and the added 20% damage reduction debuff is powerful. CD is 0, but NRG cost is high at 4, so support Flavia with [Breath of Cornucopia], allied abilities, or Tactical Skills.
Verdant Arrow	★★★★★ A strong Basic Attack that also creates [Flower Field] panels. Typically, this should be your go-to Basic Attack.
Breath of Cornucopia	★★★★★ A great Skill that restores HP, NRG, and grants buffs to both Flavia and her Summoned Units on [Flower Fields]. Especially valuable since Flavia’s powerful Skills consume a lot of NRG. Highly recommended in most cases.
Earth's Beloved	★★★★ Aura that applies both debuffs to enemies and buffs to allies. Especially effective against high-stat bosses. Make sure you have a reliable way to generate [Flower Fields] to get full value.
Sprout Abundantly	★★★★ A wide-range AoE attack that also creates [Flower Field] panels and warps Summoned Units to locations within 4 tiles. Since Summoned Units can normally move only once every two turns, this is a great tool to reposition them for healing or to activate [Assisting Cover].

Skill	Priority and Details
Nature's Guidance	★★★ Under the right conditions, your Summoned Unit’s damage can increase by up to 30%. Best for single-target fights or when NRG Recovery is handled by other means and not [Breath of Cornucopia].
Survival Master	★★ Consider this Reaction in stages that consist entirely of AoE attacks, where [Lush Vitality] can't activate.
The One Beloved by Plants	★★ Raises Summoned Unit stats, cuts incoming damage by 40%, and creates [Flower Fields] at the end of their turn. Good for support builds that emphasize defense and protection.
Earth's Blessing	★ Useful when you need to boost movement or generate lots of [Flower Field] panels in one go.
Nourishing Dewdrop	★ A solid single-target heal with a long range of up to 6 tiles. Include it when you need to support allies from a distance.
Invigorating Strike	★ While [Verdant Arrow] is usually preferred, this can be useful due to its high NRG consumption, which can synergize with specific setups.

Recommended Gear, Tarots, & Engravings

Recommended Weapons for Flavia

Diffusing Prism

Life Fondness

Cornucopia Staff

Flavia works well with a variety of weapons, but a few stand out as especially good picks. The [Diffusing Prism] boosts her area attack potential, while the [Cornucopia Staff] helps with NRG recovery—great for keeping her skills active. The [Life Fondness] is also a strong option, significantly increasing the attack power of her summoned units, and the [Starry Sky Heritage] is excellent for boosting both her HP and magic attack.

Recommended Trinkets for Flavia

Shield of Justice

Blood Luxite Amulet

Space-time Ring

For Flavia, the [Shield of Justice] is the top recommendation, as it provides a strong overall stat boost and grants the Defender’s Talent effect: “Increases damage dealt by up to 20% while having a Physical Shield.” Other great options include the [Blood Luxite Amulet], which boosts her area damage, and the [Space-time Ring], which helps cover her main weakness—low movement.

Recommended Tarots for Flavia

Dream of The Magician

Temptation of The Devil

Course of Fortune

[Magician], which boosts AoE damage, and [Devil], which excels in multi-target battles, are generally the most recommended Tarots for Flavia. Other solid options include [Fate], known for its variety of effects starting with NRG recovery, and [Judgment], which applies a strong debuff that increases damage against single-targets.

Recommended Engravings for Flavia

Resonance	Effect
Sword Cup	When actively attacking, increases the DMG by 5% and grants 15% of [Life Steal].
Sword Wand	Before actively attacking, for each 1 tile traversed, increases ATK and DEF by 4%, up to 12%. The effect lasts until the start of the next turn,
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%)

We recommend [Sword + Cup] for the [Life Steal] effect, [Sword + Pentacle] and [Sword + Wand] for boosting stats, and [Wand + Cup], which can sometimes lower NRG and cooldown to 0.
