Review

Massiah is a versatile burst DPS damage dealer, being type neutral against the current PVE bosses (aside from Shadowflame-Hoyan). His kit revolves around his S3 Defense ignore + Invincibility, and his massive S2’s single-target damage. His S3 can apply Invincibility, stopping any damage for one turn, and whenever he kills an enemy with any ability, he also gets Invincibility for one turn. This makes him very hard to kill and annoying to deal with in PVP, but at the same time, it puts lower pressure on healers in PVE.

Considering his invincibility and DEF ignore, Massiah is without a doubt a very good DPS if you manage to get your hands on him. Whether with his S3 or his S2, Massiah has enough firepower to work well in any situation, even without the benefits of type advantage. With such versatile cleave potential and single target nuking ability, beware of him in PVP and rejoice using him in PVE.

Still, this versatility comes at a cost. While his burst damage is very high, in longer battles, his damage falls off a bit, and other characters outperform him, especially if they're used in content that is weak to their element.

Pros & Cons

Pros

A good combination of single-target and AoE burst damage,
Great in both PVE and PVP,
Versatile - due to his element, he can be used in all content without worrying about disadvantage,
Invincibility is just too strong, making him hard to kill.

Cons

While his burst damage is really high, in sustained damage he falls off a bit compared to other characters.

Best Builds (Generic)

Before the owner takes action, increases their ATK by 1200 for 2 turn(s) and additionally applies a 2-turn [Life Leech - Shell] to them.

Grants the wearer 1200 Flat ATK and a buff allowing them to lifesteal 10% of the damage they deal while active. Damage-wise, the Shell is strongest for characters that don’t rely on their Shell for a large portion of their total damage, like Follow-Up attackers. The lifesteal effect of this Shell also makes it worth considering in PVP and PVE, even if it’s a damage downgrade.

Best in slot shell for Massiah that work perfectly with his kit and burst damage.

Before the main body acts, causes the main Animus to deal additional true indirect damage equal to 12% of the target's max HP with each critical hit during this turn (damage per hit cannot exceed 180% of own ATK). In PVP mode, this will be affected by Etherena Effect - Guardian Field, reducing damage by 30%.

Grants the wearer a buff for one turn on use. While the buff is active, each individual hit of damage dealt by the wearer that critically strikes will cause the target to suffer 12% of their HP as true damage (up to 180% of the wearer's ATK per individual hit). This damage cannot be increased outside of scaling ATK and cannot critically strike itself. Strongest on characters that hit multiple times with abilities, and even stronger in AoE scenarios with multi-hitting abilities. An ability that hits 4 times and hits all enemies (5) can lead to 20 Revelation activations. The damage of this effect is reduced by 30% in PVP.

Massiah has a higher Base Attack than normal making Revelation a reasonable choice for him. While it will lose out to White Fang in Single Target, it holds the edge in AoE thanks to his Ultimate having two hits, thereby allowing him to activate Revelation up to 10 times against 5 targets. Revelation also has a huge advantage in high resistance content where its True Damage can cut through enemies.

Best Builds (PVP)

At the start of the battle, puts the owner Animus in a 1-turn [Void] state; afterward, for every 3 turn(s), enters a 2-turn [Void] state after the turn ends and increases ATK by 30%.

A PVP-focused defensive option for DPS characters, allowing them to enter the Void state at the start of battle, increasing their Effect Resistance by 100%, reducing the area DMG they take by 50%, and also making them un-targettable for its duration.

Law of silence, although generally the default choice even in PVP, is specifically designed to perform in that environment. Depending on the Meta, Law of Silence can become a viable option for most of the more fragile Damage Dealers, giving them better odds at surviving if you end up slower than your opponent.

Slot 1: ATK% is optimal but if you're lacking in materials Flat ATK can also be used.
Slot 2: If you're planning on cycling Massiah multiple times in fights SPD is often the best DPS choice but if you have team mates to solve his Speed requirements CRIT RATE or DMG is preferrable.
Slot 3: Constant DMG% is optimal but if you're lacking in materials generic DMG% can also be used.
