SigridBuild and Guide

Sigrid Overview

Sigrid, the Leader of Night Bloods and Duchess of Tabria Kingdom, is the fourteenth Undead Soul released in the game. She is a Dex Assassin who primarily relies on various self-buffs and damage in her skillset to shine. Let's take a look at her skills first:

• Ultimate - Communio: A hybrid of damage and debuffs, this skill deals respectable damage to enemies in a small area while inflicting Weakened. Inflicted enemies receive 60% additional Crit Damage and take 50% additional damage per strike from Sigrid's normal attacks and sub skills for 16 seconds.

• Main - Carneficina: A pure damage skill; this deals good damage to enemies in small area, while every usage of this skill increases its damage by 160% stacking up to 5 times. At max stacks you will be dealing a whopping 1150% damage per Main and additionally restoring 2500 Mana for her. However, due to being a stack-based skill, it will be hard to use optimally in BF/PvE where you lack the luxury of slow and long fights.

• Sub 1 - Ebbrezze: A single-target damage skill that Dispels 2 buffs from enemy and further increases Sigrid’s Crit Rate by 30% for 18 seconds.

• Sub 2 - Lupara: Another AoE damage skill (multi-hit to abuse her Artifact) but with slightly bigger range than her Main and Ultimate. Besides good damage, it causes enemies hit have 25% Defense reduction for 12 seconds. If she has Crit Rate increase buff (whether from her S1 or from another character's buff), she doubles the damage of this skill to 480%.

• Passive - Omerta: A purely utility Passive, it increases the Physical damage of allies by 25% within 3.5 meters of her, excluding herself. It also acts as a stealth for herself, making her untargetable by enemies outside 3.5m of her, and restores 1000 additional mana with her Normal Attacks, allowing even quicker Main skill spam.

• Normal Attack: While normally not worth mentioning, it becomes important to note that her Normal Attack is 4 Hit Combo with slow animation, allowing her to maximise her Artifact Effect.

• Artifact – Tyrfing: Her Artifact skill buffs the damage of her Normal Attack and Sub Skills by 15-30% per hit, buffing her Normal Attack and Multi-Hit Sub 2 siginificantly. Furthermore, to counter her innate squishiness it additionally decreases Damage Received by her by 20-30%.

Sigrid is another addition to the long list of DPS characters in game, featuring a mix of AoE and Single Target damage. Her main draw is her Main skill, which once stacked, can deal very high damage to multiple targets in a small AoE. Her DPS potential can increase significantly if you can buff her to guarantee crits, and use it in pair with her Ultimate. The Mana restore her Main and Passive allows her to hasten the stack-building. Sub-skills bring a nice mix of damage and teamwide utility with Dispel and Defense Down, while her Artifact enhances her strengths and tries to downplay her weakness of survival.

Investment

Investment wise, she has a large appetite being mainly a DPS character.

• New Players: Sigrid has Carry potential, however she falls short of Aki due to her Main skill being stack-based and survival issues, making her harder to use.

• F2P/Casual Players: Completely skippable.

• Cultured Users: Get at least one copy for Lobby/Love Story. Worth/10.

• Dolphins/Competitive Raid Players: As things stand, she will crawl her way to the top in Dark Knight Raid due to ramping Main skill and AoE on most of her skills. Origin would be required at minimum and Leg+ Artifact to supplement her squishy stats.

• Whales/Rankers: The usual DPS schtick, Origin and above investment with higher Artifact the better, as she can use the stats for both DPS and for survival. Has potential to topple Claudia from her throne in Dark Knight Guild Raid.

Team Composition and Synergies

Sigrid can either work as Main DPS or in tandem with others as Sub-DPS, the latter being more likely the further you go in-game. Her Passive makes Melee DEX/STR souls her ideal partners to maximise the Physical damage increase gains, whereas Crit Rate and Damage buffers would be ideal to maximise her own DPS. Speed buffers as usual are always a welcome addition to the team, especially with her Main requiring as many triggers as possible. Catherine Radiance, Garnet, Eve, Velanna, Bryce & Melfice are some of example souls synergizing with her very well.

Conclusion

Sigrid is the definition of standard character; she can function as a DPS, but will neither excel in general PVE as one, nor in raids with exception of Dark Knight, where she will dominate. In PvP she holds potential to be a second Jacqueline. Thus, a completely skippable addition to the roster outside of Raid maniacs. Her Main takes too much time to ramp up to be relevant in PvE, and her squishiness doesn’t help her cause. It may even be a major issue for her raid survivability in high DPS compositions. With Chaotic Linzy and potential collab around the corner at the time of her release, players are best advised to save their pulls.
