A build designed for our totally not delicate princess to be able to cripple entire enemy teams by taking advantage of AoE skills.

Attack is generally Lissa’s best boon, improving her damage output and very slightly increasing the amount of HP she will be healing teammates for. As Lissa will generally not be dueling physical units, Defense is the preferred bane.

Pain and Gravity are both very potent weapons for Lissa. Lissa will be able to either deal massive amounts of damage to the entire enemy team via Pain or keep the pace of the battle to a more manageable state via Gravity. If utilizing Pain, Lissa’s teammates will often be able to handle the rest of the enemy team as they will be much easier to deal with after being dealt heavy chip damage. The Dazzling effect should be taken on whatever weapon Lissa runs, considering Lissa is running Wrathful Staff as the B slot. Conversely, if Lissa has Dazzling Staff as a B slot, then the Wrathful effect should be taken for the weapon instead.

There are a plethora of choices for the Assist skill, but Recover will generally heal teammates for the highest amount of HP consistently. Rehabilitate is a fine budget option as well, and will actually outperform Recover if Lissa’s teammate is very low on HP. Restore and Physic are great choices as well, although Restore’s effect is a bit more niche, and the ranged healing effect of Physic isn’t necessarily always beneficial.

Miracle is a great choice of Special that will save Lissa in a pinch should she take an otherwise fatal blow. However, it does have a fairly high cooldown of 5. It should be noted that healing teammates also reduces Lissa’s Special cooldown by 1 in addition to attacking and being attacked, so the chances of Miracle coming into play are quite realistic.

Attack +3 is a fine choice for an A slot, increasing Lissa’s damage output as well as increasing the amount of HP she will heal teammates for. Close Counter is another very expensive option that can be taken as well that synergizes very well with Vantage, allowing Lissa to potentially tank attacks and then give the Pain/Gravity effects to the enemy unit attacking and all enemy teammates within 2 spaces. Close Counter is by no means a necessity, however, and should only be taken if one is very dedicated to Lissa or simply has no other use for a spare Takumi or Winter Tharja.

Wrathful Staff should be taken as the B slot assuming the weapon Lissa is using has the Dazzling effect. If Lissa has Dazzling Staff for her B slot available, then the Wrathful effect on her weapon will be taken instead. Vantage is a decent alternative as well considering the Wrathful effect is taken for the weapon over the Dazzling effect, and will allow Lissa to KO units that would potentially KO her instead. Vantage works particularly well when combined with Close Counter. Guard is also another decent choice as well, allow Lissa to reject Special cooldowns to the units she attacks.

Savage Blow is a great choice for the C slot, further adding to the amount of chip damage that Pain will do. Savage Blow isn’t a necessity for this set to work decently though, so a simple team boosting skill such as a Tactic or Hone skill can be taken instead if one prefers.

Savage Blow is also a great choice as a Seal, maximizing the amount of chip damage Lissa can deal when combined with the respective C slot and Pain. Once again, Savage Blow isn’t a pure necessity, and Lissa can easily take an Attack increasing Seal or a team based Seal as well.

• Preferred IV: +SPD / -DEF

• Weapon: Dazzling Gravity+ / Dazzling Slow+ / Dazzling Fear+ / Dazzling Panic+

• Assist: Recover+ / Rehabilitate+ / Restore+ / Physic+

• Special: Swift-Winds Balm / Heavenly Light / Miracle

• Passive A: Speed +3

• Passive B: Wings of Mercy / Escape Route / Live to Serve

• Passive C: Atk Ploy / Infantry Rush / Hone Spd / Flexible

• Sacred Seal: Speed +3 / Live to Serve / Flexible

A set focused mainly on providing team support and not engaging in fights with other enemies.

Speed is the preferred choice of boon, boosting Lissa’s Speed to 29, which can then be further boosted via A slot and Seal. More Speed will greatly help Lissa’s survivability, as she already has decent defensive stats barring her poor Speed.

All of the staff weapons can be useful, but in particular, Gravity is a great choice that allows Lissa to control the pace of the battle more easily. Slow and Fear are great options as well to debuff the enemy team’s Speed and Attack respectively, and Panic can be useful for those pesky cavalry/dragon/flier/armor emblem teams utilizing class buffs. Whatever weapon one decides to use with Lissa, the Dazzling effect should be taken in order to allow her to safely attack into any unit without fear of retaliation. As this set is focused on support rather than offense, there should not be any need to take the Wrathful effect for Lissa’s weapon.

Like the previous set, almost all of the Assist skills can be useful. Recover will be the most reliable choice, although Lissa’s default Rehabilitate is fine to use.

Speed +3 will boost Lissa’s Speed to 32 considering she has a boon in Speed, greatly improving her survivability.

Wings of Mercy is a great B slot on support healers, allowing them to teleport to any unit that is in critical need of healing. Escape Route is another option that does the reverse, allowing Lissa to teleport away when her own HP is too low. Live to Serve is a good choice of B slot as well, giving Lissa a means of sustain for herself. However, as she should be prioritizing healing teammates over healing herself, Lissa will generally not be making a great use of Live to Serve as she might be with Wings of Mercy.

With a respectable base Resistance stat of 30, Lissa is capable of running a Ploy skill in the C slot fairly effectively. The choice of which Ploy skill to run is essentially up to player preference and needs, although Atk Ploy is nice to mitigate the damage done to Lissa and her teammates. Infantry Rush is also an extremely potent skill that can be run effectively when Lissa is paired with Infantry units. A simple team boosting skill such as Hone Atk can be taken as well, as the choice of C slot here is quite flexible.

When utilizing a Speed boon, Speed +3 in the A slot, and Speed +3 in the Seal slot, Lissa will be sitting at a fairly comfortable 35 Speed, allowing her to avoid double attacks from most units should she get attacked. Live to Serve is also a decent option as a Seal slot as well, although the 3 extra Speed may be the difference between Lissa getting doubled and KO’d and not getting doubled and surviving. Lissa can also use a team boosting skill such as Res Tactic or Hone Spd if needed.
