Afra Pros and Strength

Afra's Character Overview

Supports Allies and Disrupts Enemies

Afra shines in both bolstering allies—through team-wide buffs and healing—and weakening enemies via unique debuffs tied to her Trait and core Skills. Her signature debuffs, [Nightmare] and [Labyrinth of Dreams], are particularly potent: one lowers enemy offense and boosts damage taken, while the other causes enemies to suffer a portion of the damage they've received over time. Both debuffs can be maintained on enemies almost indefinitely.

Accumulates Additional Damage

When [Labyrinth of Dreams] is active, it triggers an additional 20% or 30% damage of the total damage taken during its duration either when reapplied or upon expiration. By inflicting the enemy with [Labyrinth of Dreams] before stacking big hits from your DPS characters, you can unleash devastating damage every turn.

Damage is Capped

Note that the bonus damage is capped at 400% or 600% of Afra’s Magic ATK. For example, with a Magic ATK of 4000, the maximum possible bonus damage per turn would be around 24,000.

Synergizes Well with High-Damage Allies

Afra does not deal significant damage herself—instead, her skills amplify damage. Pair her with hard-hitting characters like Auguste, Estra, SP Rawiyah, or Tristan to make full use of her potential and hit the damage cap consistently.

Transforms for Healing Support

Using Reaction Skills like [Run My Fawn] or [Tread on Snow], Afra enters her [Fawn] form—an immobile healing-focused state. While in this form, she can't use her usual Skills, but gains access to powerful healing abilities. She can instantly revert to her normal form as needed, letting you adapt her role mid-battle.

Provides Global Buffs

The passive [Dreamtelling Game] triggers three Skills in sequence, and during the 2nd and 3rd turns, it applies powerful Attribute Buffs across the entire map. These buffs become especially valuable in stages where your party starts out separated from one another.

High Mobility + Auto Lv2 Debuffs

Raising Afra’s Star Level increases her Move by up to +2, improving her ability to reach ideal positions. Combined with Lv2 debuffs like [Vulnerable] and [Piercing Vulnerable] applied via main Skills and Trait effects, her value extends beyond her signature debuffs

Requires Strong Damage Dealers

Afra is a premier support character, offering team-wide buffs, constant healing (especially in Fawn form), and top-tier debuffing to slow down and weaken foes. However, she lacks standalone offensive power. To bring out her full value, team her up with strong damage dealers who can capitalize on her setup.

Star Level Up Priority & Recommended Stars for Afra

Aim to Reach 2★ → 4★ → 5★

Star Level Up Priority	Recommended Star Level
	2★ → 4★ → 5★

At 2-stars Afra gains +1 movement, and at 4-stars she gains +2 movement. If you want to include Afra in your main lineup, or see frequent uses for her, raise her to 5-stars, where [Labyrinth of Dreams] is enhanced and greatly boosts damage dealt.

Phantom in Fantasy								Calamity of Icefield								Dreamtelling Game
Weapon								Trinket								Tarot
Dream Turbidity								Shield of Justice								Temptation of The Devil

This is a build for multi-target fights. It strengthens all allies while weakening enemies with its Trait and [Phantom in Fantasy]. Keep in mind that attacking simultaneously with allies will increase the damage dealt by [Labyrinth of Dreams].

Single-target Build

Basic Attack								Reaction								Ascension
Proverb in Fantasy								Run My Fawn								Form of Steadfast Stone
Skill
Fantasy Whisper								Echo of Revelry								Dreamtelling Game
Weapon								Trinket								Tarot
Dream Turbidity								Shield of Justice								Redemption of The Judgment

This is a build for single-target targets and bosses. Gain an advantage in battle with party-wide buffs & healing, enemy debuffs, and the high damage dealt each turn by [Labyrinth of Dreams]. If you don't have a way to reduce CD and can't use [Fantasy Whisper] every turn, try replacing [Echo of Revelry] with [Phantom in Fantasy].

Priority Skills

Skill	Priority and Details
Dreamtelling Game	★★★★★ A top-tier passive that automatically activates three skills in sequence. It restores Afra’s NRG and applies powerful buffs to all allies. Core to Afra’s kit—prioritize this above all else.
Run My Fawn	★★★★★ A defensive passive that grants [Resolve] and -15% damage taken. When Afra takes damage, she automatically transforms into a [Fawn], further reducing damage. Be cautious—[Dreamtelling Game] won’t activate while in Fawn form, which can affect your combo flow.
Proverb in Fantasy	★★★★★ A unique [Basic Attack] that deals piercing damage, applies debuffs, and has a chance to inflict [Sleep]. Strong utility and consistency—an excellent choice for most builds.
Fantasy Whisper	★★★★ A key single-target damage skill that also applies multiple debuffs. It hits harder and is more cost-effective than its AoE counterpart [Phantom in Fantasy], making it ideal for focused boss fights.
Phantom in Fantasy	★★★★ AoE version of [Fantasy Whisper] that hits multiple enemies and applies debuffs. It trades lower damage and a longer cooldown for wider coverage. Best used in multi-target or mob-heavy scenarios.

Skill	Priority and Details
Tread on Snow	★★★ An [Instant] Skill that lets Afra reposition and voluntarily transform into a [Fawn]. Useful for tactical movement and self-healing while in Fawn form.
Calamity of Icefield	★★★ A wide-area attack that converts panels to [Frosty] terrain. Its high NRG cost and modest damage limit its use, but it’s a good fallback when [Phantom in Fantasy] is on cooldown.
Echo of Revelry	★★ A healing passive that restores HP to nearby allies. Great in hybrid builds when you have reliable cooldown reduction and want to support while dealing damage.
Awakening Dreams	★★ Heals a single target and applies the [Innocent Dreams] buff, which triggers bonus effects when Afra is attacked or starts her turn. Very effective, but its buffs overlap with [Dreamtelling Game], so be careful not to waste effects.
Merciful Strike	★★ If healing is your main focus, this [Basic Attack] supports that goal effectively.
Endure	★ Situationally useful in stages with heavy damage-over-time effects, or when trying to avoid accidental [Fawn] transformations. A defensive backup option.
Light of Healing	★ Low-priority due to Afra’s many stronger healing choices. Consider it only if you need AoE healing when not in [Fawn] form.

Recommended Gear, Tarots, & Engravings

Recommended Weapons for Afra

Dream Turbidity

Nightmare Puppet

Diffusing Prism

For Afra, the best weapon picks are [Dream Turbidity] and [Nightmare Puppet], both of which significantly boost her magic attack while also applying powerful debuffs—perfect for her playstyle. Other great options include the [Diffusing Prism], which enhances both magic attack and AoE skills, and the [Starry Sky Heritage], which boosts her HP and magic attack for better survivability and damage output.

Recommended Trinkets for Afra

Shield of Justice

Origin Hourglass

Blood Luxite Amulet

For Afra, we recommend items like the [Shield of Justice] and [Origin Hourglass], both of which boost the all-important M.ATK stat. In multi-target battles, the [Blood Luxite Amulet] is also a strong choice, as it increases area damage—but keep in mind that Afra’s base damage output (aside from Piercing DMG) is on the lower side, so you’ll want to build accordingly.

Recommended Tarots for Afra

Temptation of The Devil

Mercy of The High Priestess

Redemption of The Judgement

In battles against multiple enemies, [Devil] is the top pick for its all-around stat boosts. Against single-target fights, equip [Judgement] to increase the enemy’s damage taken and support your allies effectively. Depending on the situation, you might also choose [High Priestess] to boost healing, or [Magician] to ramp up your damage output.

Recommended Engravings for Afra

Resonance	Effect
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,
Sword Pentacle	When [unharmed], increases ATK and DEF by 12%.
Cup Cup	Increases Healing Effect by 10% and Healing Received by 10%.

Since [Magic ATK] is key for Afra mechanics, the stat-boosting combinations of [Sword + Wand] and [Sword + Pentacle] are the most recommended.
