Review

Sania is a great PVE character belonging to the DoT (Damage over Time) archetype. Her whole kit revolves around DoT application: Every attack procs [Wither], which applies a DoT for 2 turns on every attack, her S1 has a 50% chance to add another DoT, with her S2 extending the DoT turn count. Upon use, Her S3 immediately 'triggers' all DoTs on the enemy, doing massive damage at once.

Also, DoT in this game deals fixed damage equal to 4% of the enemy's Max HP - it can't be reduced by damage reduction, either, so it's raw damage.

This hyper-specialized kit makes Sania a force to be reckoned with, at least in PVE. Indeed, she has proven herself to be one of, if not THE best speedrunning Boss killer for any PVE content that consists of 1 wave and isn’t straight up immune to DoTs. The incredible burst potential when paired with Fangus and Obol sets her apart from the rest of the Damage Dealers due to the very low requirements to exploit this combo (aside from obtaining her!). To top it off, her Disorder Affinity means she’ll never be disadvantaged, although she can still suffer from increased damage taken by Constant Affinity enemies.

A couple of glaring weaknesses balance out her ridiculous firepower however, namely her use in generic content and PVP. For generic PVE content, Sania offers very little damage, DoTs being almost exclusively designed to take down bosses, meaning multiple waves of smaller enemies take more damage from a single basic attack from any DPS than they do from a couple of DOTs.

In PVP, Sania’s entire mechanic can be countered in multiple ways: Ban one of her key teammates (like Obol), bring Immunity/Cleanse, Slows/Turn meter pushback, abundant healing, etc.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Insane Burst in PVE Bossing,
Type neutral for PVE,
The best teammates are two SRs.

Cons

So many ways to counter her kit in PVP,
No use in generic content - since DoTs scale off enemy HP,
DoT immune Bosses exist.

Best Builds (Generic)

Before the owner acts, unleashes the owner Animus' full potential making their next skill cost no CD and increasing their SPD by an additional 10% for 2 turn(s). In PvP modes, after being affected by Codex of Magic, skills that did not go on cooldown will have their maximum cooldown permanently increased by 1 turn. (a single skill can only be affected once by this increase).

The cooldown of the skill can't be reduced.

An absurdly strong combo Shell that allows the wearer to skip the cooldown of the ability used on the turn this Shell is active. The wearer can use their ultimate or skill twice back to back, unlocking usually impossible personal and team combos. Also grants the wearer a 10% SPD boost after use for 2 turns. Mainly used in PvE burst/combo compositions or PVP. Can be used on both Supports and DPS situationally.

The cooldown of the skill can't be reduced.

The go to DoT shell thanks to it assisting with applying more DoTs earlier in combat allowing for faster and more consistant kills. Battlewill is best for maximizing DoT application, while Max SPD can be useful if you need Shadow Sania to outspeed enemies or hit certain breakpoints.

After the main body's turn, a Follow-up Attack on the main target dealing 240%+4200 damage, applies [SPD+] for 3 turns to the main Animus, applies and increases their Turn Meter by 25%.

Widely used and incredibly potent all-around supportive option, granting a 25% gauge boost on use as well as [SPD+] boost with 100% uptime. It also deals decent damage when used. Possesses most of the best supportive matrixes, further adding to its flexibility and wide use cases. Loses most of its value when used in teams that already have a team member granting the [SPD+] buff with good uptime.

After the main body's turn, a Follow-up Attack on the main target dealing 240%+4200 damage, applies [SPD+] for 3 turns to the main Animus, applies and increases their Turn Meter by 25%.

Sustained alternative to Codex of magic that gives up some up front power for permanant SPD up and action advancement. Loses a lot of its value in DoT teams that contain Lily as SPD up is already covered.
