Analysis

Review

Serina Crew is a PVP operator who applies the buff nullification debuff for up to 14 seconds. Serina sees widespread use every week, and can be a soft-requirement for playing into certain metas.

As a reactive PVP operator, Serina is reliant on your opponent’s actions to create value. Serina is at her strongest when she is being used to hard-counter specific meta comps. Historically, Serina has been the direct response to Replacer King and Awakened Horizon among other comps.

Even when Serina isn’t used to hard-counter specific units, her buff nullification is strong enough that there is usually some value that can be gained from triggering it. Among other things, Serina can:

  • Improve your matchup into soldier/ mech comps; these teams are heavily reliant on external buffs (Revenant, Coffin-6 respectively) for damage.

  • Remove problematic buffs like immortality (e.g. Awakened Mina, Rearm Esterosa, Veronica), assorted backline buffs (e.g. barriers), and other novel buffs (e.g. Awakened Regina’s knockback RES)

Her performance in PVE is the complete opposite of her PVP performance. In other words, she is useless.

Pros & Cons

Pros

- Buff nullification shuts down many characters’ kits.

- There will always be some buff worth removing.

Cons

- As a reactive operator, Serina will not always be relevant every week.

- No direct defensive/ offensive utility.
