Pavia — Review & Analysis

Pavia

Pavia is a 4-star Beast-Afflatus DPS built around area Mental damage. Both her Incantations strike 2 enemies — one rewards HP above 50%, the other rewards HP below 50% — so her output stays steady no matter her health state. Her Ultimate lands a single-target burst plus a 3-round self-heal, and her passive raises damage while cutting damage taken as allies fall, making her a self-sustaining attrition dealer. Her low tier keeps her best suited to early-game or budget teams.

Strengths
  • Both Incantations hit 2 enemies with AoE Mental DMG for reliable wave clearing.
  • The bonus-damage conditions cover both high and low HP, so her output never falls flat as her health shifts.
  • The Ultimate heals 25% of lost HP per round for 3 rounds, and her passive lowers damage taken — strong self-sustain.
  • Beast Afflatus counters Plant, dealing 30% more damage to those enemies.
Weaknesses
  • Beast Afflatus is countered by Mineral, taking 30% more damage and losing the affinity edge against those enemies.
  • Her passive only pays off once allies fall — in a healthy team the reward barely triggers.
  • 4-star, tier-F ceiling: her raw numbers trail rarer Mental DPS units.
Build Priority

Level both Incantations first to lock in her AoE damage floor, then the Ultimate for its burst and self-heal. Pick an ATK / Crit-oriented Psychube to push her Mental damage; since she heals herself, a healing or defensive Psychube isn't needed.
