Maria.jpg Maria
Yellow Purple Yellow Purple A A A
Pros
  • Demons no longer die when they are killed by revive sealing skills, because Maria cleanses revive seal on ally death, including on herself.
  • In addition to removing revive seal, she also casts a one turn Luster Candy on her team and heals.
  • Is pretty tanky, with 70% hp boost built into her kit, and more bulk in panels. This innate bulk allows her to still have high hp totals even when built for evasion.
  • Is immune to ailments and has Salvation built into her kit to cleanse for her party, with a large mp reduction and additional charges in p1.
  • Swings defensive buffs in her team's favor every turn with p2.
  • In addition to making her team near impossible to kill, she also gives her entire team Infinite Chakra, allowing them to use their skills much more freely.
  • If anybody on her team gets killed, then at the end of the enemy's turn, she will revive her entire team once per game. She additionally has more revives through a skill in yellow.
Cons
  • While still amazing without them, her power really spikes with P1 and P2
  • If she is revive sealed, Idun will not revive her even though she removes the revive seal due to how the game is coded, with on self death triggers activating after ally death triggers
  • Her AOE auto-revive and on-death effects are completely blocked by Masakado B's Spirit Chains (Suppression), making her useless when defending against teams using him.
  • Her bulk has been crept, so if your team is extremely tanky, she may actually be the most frail unit at this point.
  • Her agi is middling, making her a bit tricky to fit into slow and fast teams.

Build(s)

The Mother of the Messiah
ArchYellow.png Transferred Skills Notes:

One of the best supports in the game, one time AOE revive, super high HP, healing and cleansing, mortal and ailment immunity, anti revive seal and Infinite Chakra aura for all allies. Pair with other strong revivers like XWM and Echidna to make up for her one time aoe revive that will always trigger even if there's only 1 dead ally.

Note that if she is killed first with revive seal, XWM will try to revive her first before Maria can cleanse the revive seal, making XWM useless in that scenario.
