Sharena

• Weapon: Fensalir (+Eff)
• Support Skill: Rally Atk/Spd / Reciprocal Aid
• Special: Luna / Aether
• A Slot: Atk/Spd Bond / Atk/Def Bond / Fury
• B Slot: Renewal / Chill Spd / Chill Def
• C Slot: Spur Atk/Spd / Drive Spd
• Sacred Seal: Flashing Blade / Quick Riposte

Sharena’s Fensalir refinement provides her with a Spd/Def Bond effect. With that in mind, one of the more intuitive builds is to combine it with an additional Bond skill in order to further amplify Sharena’s effectiveness when she is beside an ally. The choice of Bond skill largely depends on preference, however, there are two that stand out. Atk/Spd Bond allows Sharena to reach high-Speed tiers to actually double enemies without relying on Quick Riposte, while Atk/Def Bond further increases Sharena’s bulk. 

The choice of seal also largely depends on Sharena’s choice of Bond. If a player is going for Speed, Flashing Blade is an excellent choice as Sharena can activate its requirement with relative ease. A defensively built Sharena could either opt in for either Close Def to further increase her bulk against close ranged threats, or the tried and true  Quick Riposte for more offensive presence in the Enemy Phase.

Due to her adjacency requirements, using Dual Spurs actually augments her kit very well. The Dual Rally and Dual Spur combination works extremely well in this context as Sharena can not only provide her allies with buffs but also activate her Bond skills when required. 

In context with the new Arena, Sharena would prefer to keep herself nice and healthy to take out as many opponents as possible. As such, Renewal is a common choice behind all the builds of Sharena in her  B skill slot. Other possible choices include just running Reciprocal Aid to “steal” health from her allies and run a Chill skill of your own choice. 
 

• Weapon: Slaying Spear + (SPD)
• Support Skill: Reposition / Swap / Reciprocal Aid
• Special: Galeforce / Glimmer
• A Slot: ATK/SPD Bond / Fury
• B Slot: Chill DEF / Renewal
• C Slot: Odd ATK Wave / Varies in team
• Sacred Seal: Flashing Blade / Close Def / Quick Riposte

This set is meant to punish armors due to the armor prevalence in the higher tiers of Arena. As the most common threats are armors, it actually makes sense for players who are aiming for a higher score to potentially swap out Fensalir for Slaying Spear+ to ensure that Sharena can take out all foes with ease.

However, many ideas behind the previous build actually apply here. As this build wants Sharena to engage into as many phases of combat as possible, Bond skills are still largely preferred to achieve that effect as it applies to both Player and Enemy phase without strict restrictions. Having flexibility in both phases allow Sharena to pick fights much better especially against armor who have extremely potent Fighter skills such as Bold Fighter and Vengeful Fighter. Fury is a decent alternative for the same reason.

As this build’s main objective is to take out opponents, offensive buffs and debuffs are largely favored. Odd Atk Wave works extremely well with effective damage as the buffs are also effectively amplified. Chill Def is also preferred for largely the same reason. As most of the non-red armors are also relatively slow, Flashing Blade will activate relatively often, and a double will open up Sharena for Galeforce, granting additional mobility. The choice of Reciprocal Aid is to ensure that Sharena has a mean to recover her health when dealing with multiple threats.

Additionally, Distant Counter could potentially net a higher arena rating, however, it is not recommended for Sharena to use the skill due to the lack of ranged units in the highest Arena scoring bracket, and her A slot should be used to augment her combat capabilities to increase her bonus score.
