Summary

Ministra is a utility ranger who uses powerful skills and debuffs to control the battlefield. 

Much of Ministra’s value comes from the swords summoned by her passive and ultimate. Ministra’s 33% ATK, ASPD, and skill haste debuff can be coupled with other debuffers to cripple enemies’ ability to function. Ministra’s kit also gives her survivability in the form of a one-time backstep that summons Mutated Spira, a stat-adjusted Spira summon who inherits gear from Ministra.

In addition, her Alternium Reactor gives her some much needed offensive power to bridge the damage gap between her and newer releases.

PVE Review

Ministra finds value in PVE through her debuffs (by crippling enemy damage outputs), but her personal damage contribution can be lacking.

While there was a time when Ministra’s debuffs were needed to keep frontline tanks healthy, in the current state of the game they are not needed in most stages. The situations where Ministra is still needed are uncommon, as top-of-the-line frontline tanks (e.g. Rearm Kaci) can usually fare fine regardless.

She is now most commonly used for her 100% Incoming Healing block on her special skill (which works even on bosses), which is invaluable in stages like Dimension Trimming Jungle Stage 1.

This isn’t to say Ministra is bad. She is a pretty decent general use ASSR ranger, but she is a notch below top-meta PVE units.

PVP Review

Unfortunately, Ministra’s best days are behind her. Where she once held a commanding presence in PVP, she is now an uncommon ASSR that only periodically shows up in niche teams. Her debuffs are still unique to her and teams that heavily lean into debuffs (e.g. “ASPD down” comps) will serve to benefit from her sword summons.

As a 5 cost utility ranger, Ministra isn’t difficult to slot into a team. Contrasting some ASSRs that demand teams built around them, Ministra can manage herself fine. However, she excels when she is put in a team that factors in her debuffs. Otherwise, Ministra becomes just another backline damage dealer who is (quite unfortunately) severely lacking in damage. Ministra takes little additional consideration to play against, because she can be managed using any one of the traditional backline harassment tools. These include backline access units (e.g. Lily, Gremory, Spira, Kang), but she can also be managed through more abstract means (i.e. playing a better comp).

Pros & Cons
Pros

- Ministra’s sword aura is classified as a permanent debuff, which bypasses debuff immunity, ensuring they stick.

- Ministra’s Mutated Spira summon adds a fair bit of bulk to the frontline.

- Ministra has one of the highest special skill damage modifiers in the game. It is higher than most of the game’s roster’s ultimate skills.

Cons

- Utility aside, Ministra’s actual damage output is rather middling.
