Description

A graveyard Soul that exudes a spooky aura. No one can tell what's in her mind because she's a soul of few words with an absent-minded face. Her hobby is playing with expressionless faces. Maybe she has something to do with the rumors of the ghost in the cemetery...

Review

The seemingly impossible-to-kill tank if she can use M1 against multiple frontlines, Petra’s durability really starts to ramp up if she is able to live and cast her first M1. Her kit heavily revolves around relying on her being a one-woman tank against multiple frontlines for her S3 to give a whopping 80% DEF buff and immunity to status effects.

She also has innate damage sharing S1 with the enemy’s highest attack unit while taunting them, as well as a teamwide shield and ATK reduction for all enemies on S2, relieving the pressure off of your other units. From the early to midgame, her durability is uncontested amongst all tanks, even when running without a faction bonus.

That being said, Petra’s kit slowly starts to fall off when you approach endgame, especially when compared with other tanks due to several reasons. Firstly, her bread and butter M1 is restricted by her own ATK even though it does max HP% damage. This will start to reduce drastically when enemy frontlines get tankier, while Petra’s own ATK stats can’t keep up.

Secondly, her innate tankiness only kicks in if she’s the only frontline with no units around her, or she loses the 80% DEF buff. This is problematic since endgame stages will start to demand more than 1 frontline (even Catherine is within her range, which is almost irreplaceable to grind out elite stages), as there is no tank that can solo tank the enemy DPS assuming you hyper-invested into your DPS. Without her S3 in effect, her durability is noticeably weaker compared to Chloe or Claire.

Lastly, the faction bonus starts to matter towards the end, where you need every bit of stats that affects both your frontline and backline to survive and deal enough DPS for the stages and with the introduction of Velenna, undead comps have proven to be extremely strong, clearing even 16-45 with ease. The key is a built Jacqueline and Velenna, while Petra acts as the anchor to hold the frontline while Velenna charges her M1 and ult.

Single Bosses

For boss stages, Petra, unfortunately, falls short just like any other tank since they are a DPS check, although this could change in the future with the introduction of more bosses that hits harder (such as guild coop). That being said, there have been reports of some runs where the boss hits an undergeared Petra during her S1 damage sharing, which ended up dealing millions of damage.

 This has not been proven to be consistent, so take it with a big pinch of salt.

PVP

For PVP, Petra is an incredible frontline as long as you face multiple frontline comps since her sustain is almost unstoppable. S1 forcing the enemy carry to attack Petra further saves your squishy backlines from assassins like Linzy. That said, undead comps are still slightly weaker since there are no ults, preventing hyper carries like Velenna to scale with the ult that bleeds.

Pros & Cons
Pros

  • Best solo tank in early and mid game.

  • Taunt, Teamwide shield and damage sharing.

Cons

  • Loses too much of her utility when paired with other tanks or frontliners such as Catherine.

  • M1 restricted by her own low attack.
