Peira

(Written 7-21-22)

Peira is disgustingly strong. Releasing very soon after Conqueror Lilias, Peira is the first unit to follow in the trend of “insanely strong opener” that C.Lilias started – and it’s not hard to see why. She essentially makes Cerise all but useless; doing the job of Restricting, making targets unable to be buffed, and decreasing buff durations by a turn in her s2. However, that’s not all: her second skill grants an extra turn, allowing her to chain it into her s3.

Her s3 is where things start to really get interesting. Thanks to her unique buff of Escort, AoE Attack buff, combining with her rather beefy shield, Peira can not only weaken the enemies while strengthening her allies and making herself into a safety net for them (on top of giving herself Stealth, so single-target enemies can’t attack her).

She makes for a very strong opener in all sorts of PvP, that being Arena, GW and RTA. Of course, though, she really has a high gear requirement, as it’s pretty much necessary for her to go first before anyone else. She’s not the unit for newer players to use.

Build Notes

All that a player needs on Peira is Speed. Speed is her essential stat, and everything else is a lower priority. However, that doesn’t mean you can skimp out on, say, Effectiveness%. While Speed is the main stat you need to focus on, she still needs to have some Effectiveness, HP% and DEF% to fully complete the build.

Although in the General Speed Build a Hit set is recommended, you can really use just about anything as her two-set, as long as the Speed substats are good. You could even use a broken set if the stats are good enough.

The ideal late-game Peira build – the build that should be used as a goalpost – looks something like:

• 300 Speed (Any extra is always better; some people have even hit 310+)
• 14,000~ HP
• 1,000 DEF
• 100%+ Effectiveness

This a very high bar to achieve, and a lot of people won’t even come close for a while.
