[JP] Boudica is a budget offensive-defensive Arts support. She is the only one ingame who owns a 3 turn Arts buff with a 5 turn CD, which lets her cover a niche as a budget Arts support with a sustained buff. She’s also able to give attack up and def up on her NP, which helps her fit in many compositions as a support.
[NA] Boudica lacks her 3rd skill upgrade and NP upgrade on NA right now, and unfortunately this makes her one of the worst Silver Servants currently ingame.
Pros
AoE Arts up buff with only 2 turns of downtime.
2 different buffs on kit for Arts teams.
Good defense up on NP.
High HP pool and battle continuation lets her survive decently on her own.
Cons
Needs 2 upgrades for full potential.
Useless 1st skill.
NP uptime isn’t as consistent as other supports.
Rider crit weight can steal stars from the damage dealer.
Strategies & Tips
Boudica acts as a defensive and offensive support for Arts teams. She owns an AoE Arts buff, which improves the team’s NP gain and damage. She’s also able to give an atk buff and def buff on her NP, which further increases the team’s damage, while also providing defensive support. It is best to pair her with Arts damagers, along with another support who can heal.
Best Servants to Work with
work in progress
Most Arts Servants Robin Hood, Nero Bride, Medea, Euryale, Paracelsus, Geronimo, Ryougi Shiki, Helena Blavatsky, Angra Mainyu, Emiya (Assassin), Hundred-Faced Hassan, Shuten Douji, Lancelot (Saber), Nitocris, etc Boudica is able to boost the performance of most Arts Servants, be they support or damager. However, one has to note that her Rider crit weight may not be favorable at times.
Hans provides Arts cards to increase chances for Arts chains, aiding Boudica’s NP gain. Hans also benefits from the Arts up, and would also see an increase in his own NP gain. He is also able to stack def and atk buffs, as well as heal the team.
Mozart and Boudica can stack Arts up to 64%, potentially stack def ups to 60%, and atk ups to 40%. Mozart is also able to give one turn for the entire party to crit, which may be useful to use for crit charging, allowing Boudica or the damage dealer to have faster access to their NPs or refund their NPs when paired with their Arts buffs.
Provides offensive and defensive buffs through his skills and NP, as well as charging the party’s NP gauge. This would allow Boudica faster access to her NP, and they would be able to stack def ups and atk ups as well.
Tamamo is able to increase Arts chain chances with Boudica, and also charge her NP gauge. This would increase the overall consistency of Boudica’s NP usage. Tamamo would also have an increase in her NP gain, and they would stack Arts buff together for the damage dealer.
Post-upgrade Mashu is able to buff offense and defense, which stacks with Boudica’s own buffs. Stacking their NPs together, they would be able to achieve an instant 70% def up for one turn, and 50% atk up.
Since Boudica’s full performance is dependent on NP, an increase in NP gain would multiply with her Arts up, improving her NP gain from 1.7% to 2.55%. Boudica also has Riding A, so using these type of CEs would also increase her NP gain on Quicks.
Boudica’s NP gives a 20% defense buff for three turns, along with an additional 20% on the first turn. So on the first turn this gives you a total of 40% def buffs, which is a great way to protect your party on a turn you’re expecting big damage from the enemy. After her NP upgrade, she also gets a fixed 20% atk up for the party, which lets her boost the team’s offense. Her atk up, along with her Arts up, multiplies to give a total 1.44% boost in damage for Arts cards.

Upgrade Priority
Vow to the Goddess B / Cooldown: 7-5 Increase damage against Roman enemies (3 turns)
As there are only 3-4 Roman enemies ingame, this skill is rather useless. It doesn’t aid Boudica’s role as a support, and only hinders her by taking a slot among her skills.
A decent survival skill for Boudica. Having a revive lets her survive for another turn, which can mean a lot in close battles.
Protection of Andrasta A / Cooldown: 7-5 [Strengthening Upgrade] Increase in Arts Performance of all allies (3 turns)
A great team buff that lets her improve her team’s damage and NP gain on Arts. Her buff is the only AoE Arts up in game that lasts for 3 turns and has a 2 turn downtime. This increases her consistency as a support, and also lets her charge her NP up faster for when she needs it. Her Arts up max to 20%.
Skill Priority: 3/2/1

Boudica comes with a QQAAB deck, which hinders her performance to a small extent. Her hitcounts aren’t enough to capitalize on her Quicks, and if she had an AAA deck instead she would be able to support Arts teams better and charge her NP much more quickly.
