Druvis IIIBuild and Guide

Introduction

Druvis III is a 6✦ rarity character from the Plant afflatus who deals Mental damage and belongs to the Sub DPS class.

Queen of Control cheese strats, Druvis III is a reliable source of Petrify. As she grants all Plant allies the [Circle of Life] buff, she doesn't work as well with units of other afflatuses. Her Euphoria upgrade makes [Circle of Life] buff DMG dealt, PEN Rate, and ATK; it also lets Reality Plant characters to deal damage without dispelling Petrify, allowing for more teambuilding options.

Review

Druvis is an Arcanist adept at dealing consistent Mass Damage while controlling the battlefield by inflicting [Petrify]. The Petrify status is one of the most powerful control statuses in the game, as it renders the target unable to act. It is, however, dispelled once the target is hit by a Reality DMG attack. For this reason, it is recommended to place Druvis on a Mental DMG-oriented team, or to use her Petrify as the last action of the round.

As a DPS who focuses on control, Druvis has the rare quality of helping with the team's survivability, but her own skills have average damage multipliers for a 6☆. She does have a passive that increases her own damage when she's under a buff status, but she doesn't have any buff skills to apply to herself before reaching Insight 3. Thus, team synergy is a key factor when it comes to making the most of Druvis III and allowing her to shine.

The druid works ideally with full-Plant teams, thanks to her I3 passive, “Circle of Life”; Before reaching insight 3, players can easily achieve satisfactory results by pairing her with characters who can consistently provide buffs.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Very consistent and decent Mass DMG output (especially at Insight 3 with E1 unlocked). Can function as both a Damage Dealer in CC teams and Support in Plant teams.
Can reliably combo with other CC units to create CC chains (Anjo Nala+37, An-An Lee).
Euphoria: Greatly improves Supporting capabilities through granting extra DMG Dealt, Pen Rate and ATK on [Circle of Life].

Cons

Before Insight 3, needs a buff-oriented team around her to allow her to deal semi-competitive damage.
Often spreads herself too thin between dealing damage, inflicting CC and providing [Circle of Life] to really find herself in a specific niche.
Euphoria: [Petrify] is too specific a niche at the moment for the Pen Rate bonuses to really shine.

Comments

“Her Second Life” can be considered Druvis' BiS for its stats, bonus to ATK and additional healing. Plant teams with Druvis will rarely come with a healer (or need one) thanks to Druvis' Circle of Life passive is often enough to keep the team alive. The healing from HSL comes as an additional safety measure, ensuring that even the characters who don't act much will remain healthy.

“Brave New World” is one of the best Psychube for Druvis if you're going for a full Damage Dealer approach. Another good option is “Blasphemer of Night" since Petrify by itself is a negative status, and usually you will pair Druvis with characters who also provide negative statuses such as Satsuki, An-An Lee and Marcus.
