Overview

Medea

RarityCostClass
3★7Caster
Caster
Rating9/10

A rare single-target Noble Phantasm Caster, who’s deck allows for very good spamming. Even though Rule Breaker, is not the most powerful NP it is easy to use it repeatedly due to her skills and deck.

Pros

  • Rapid Divine Words is one of the most powerful NP gauge increase skill in the game.
  • Buff dispel is a very rare effect, and can be useful against certain bosses.
  • High NP gain even outside of her skills.
  • Can also support others with her third skill.

Cons

  • Her damage is on the low side, so she is reliant on multiple uses of her NP or buffs (due to her 3 star status and Caster class).

Strategies & Tips

Arts Team: Medea shines in a team which provides a high bias towards arts in the card pool, as they allow her to achieve her purpose as NP spammer. Pairing her with good damage or survivability support could be key in some battles due to her low HP pool.

Noble Phantasm

As Medea’s foremost offensive tool, her NP is rather weak. Its multiplier is on the same level of AoE NPs, which when paired with her Caster Multiplier, makes a very sad number. However, Medea is able to use her NP consecutively and very frequently, allowing her to increase her overall damage. True to her role, her NP also refunds her NP for 20-100%, which allows her to refill her gauge quickly for the next turns. It also has some utility in that is able to remove buffs.

Best Servants to Work with

ServantExplanation
Tamamo no Mae
Tamamo no Mae [JP]
Targeted Arts buff, increases NP damage and makes it easier to cycle. She makes it possible for Medea to use her NP many turns in a row. Also brings Skill cooldown reduction.
Merlin
Merlin [JP]
Steady NP gauge generation, his skill combined with Rapid Divine words can net Medea a full gauge even if Rapid Divine words is at level 1. He also provides healing from his NP.
Nero Claudius (Bride)
Nero Claudius (Bride) [JP]
Can increase NP gain rate, and attack. Similar in use to Tamamo, but won’t provide as much damage in exchange for bringing healing / defense. However, Nero Bride herself is a damage dealer also.
Mash Kyrielight
Mash Kyrielight [JP]
Brings defensive capabilities and a good arts pool.
Jeanne d’Arc
Jeanne d’Arc
Arts card pool, Invincibility and generates stars.

Best CEs

CEExplanation
Formal Craft
Formal Craft
Increases her NP gain even more, potentially allowing Medea to cast it more often, while also increasing it’s damage. Best choice if Medea has to rely on her own NP generation as it allows her to maximize her Arts card efficiency.
Heaven's Feel
Heaven's Feel
Purely a NP damage increase CE, does not provide any other benefit. Better suited to when Medea has support.
Black Holy Grail
Black Holy Grail [JP]
An even more powerful NP damage increase, but has a demerit. Suited for if the team has a healer / defense or if the fight is short.
Enemy Sighted, Kill Guaranteed
Enemy Sighted, Kill Guaranteed [JP]
Middleground between Formacraft and Heaven’s Feel.

Skills

Upgrade Priority

(Skill 1) Rapid Divine Words A: Likely her best skill, however at Level 4 it already provides 100% NP gauge. Raising the skill up to level 4 is very important and some people may want to raise it to level 6 for the cooldown reduction.
(Skill 2) Golden Fleece: Significant self-heal. Scales very well with levels, maxing out at 2500. Prioritize after getting the first skill to Level 4 / 6
(Skill 3) Teachings of Circe A: Removing debuffs is a nice effect, but the true gem is with it’s NP generation increase. It grants her monstrous NP gain for one turn, enabling back to back NPs.
