Overview

Sessyoin Kiara

RarityCostClass
5★16Alter Ego
Alter Ego
Rating4/10

Kiara’s set is focused on debuffing her enemies while also setting herself up for some nice art crits on her enemy. This leads to build up of NP gauge and more NP spam which is what most arts servants aim to achieve. Kiara’s base stats are similar to her fellow alter ego, Meltlilith, just with higher HP and with slightly less Attack which is understandable. Her generation stats aren’t that impressive, with around average NP gen and stargen that isn’t enough to sustain her own crits.

Her passives however are extremely potent. She gains crit damage most importantly, making sure she puts out higher numbers on hits. She also gains damage boosts to humanoid trait enemies, which hits most servants. This is great on harder content. She also has a rather niche ability of dealing extra damage to other ruler class servants. It may not be useful in most quests but every bit of damage helps.

Kiara’s skills are decent, with a large majority centering around dealing more damage to enemies or getting her NP up more consistently. She focuses on boosting her critical damage while also sustaining herself so as to push out more damage to enemies.

Pros

  • Class advantage against 4 classes.
  • Sure-Hit NP to hit pesky enemies.
  • Team support provided by her nice skills

Cons

  • Her numbers on her NP aren’t exactly that great
  • Needs a stargen to help her abysmal stargen on top of a way to send stars along her way
  • Long cooldowns lessen the usability of her skills

Strategies & Tips

Kiara enjoys being paired with stargen units with a respectable amount of arts cards in her repertoire so as to boost her NP and crit consistency. Being able to buff her damage and capitalize on her defense down buffs will also be useful on team mates. Her first skill should be used to charge up her NP gauge so as to fire off a NP or to confirm landing a debuff on enemies. Her second skill should be activated so as to drop enemy defences as well as stalling for an extra turn by draining their NP gauge. Her last skill should be used right before her NP, as her NP will heal her to null the effects of that skill on top of giving her additional NP gen and crit damage to make sure she can NP again soon.

Noble Phantasm

Heaven’s hole is an AOE Arts NP which hits for a decent amount of hits while also being a sure hit skill that ignores all defense buffs, making it 100% confirmed damage. This may sound amazing but her numbers aren’t exactly the greatest. She gets a heal afterwards on her overcharge which is boosted by her 3rd skill, allowing her to negate the demerit effects on herself.

Best Servants to Work with

ServantExplanation
Tamamo no Mae
Tamamo no Mae
Tamamo is a good companion to any arts NP servant, boosting their attack, their health while also supporting them. Tamamo’s NP can help Kiara lessen the extensive cooldown of her skills so that they can be fired off more often to assist in damage dealing. She has an arts filled deck to support Kiara while also having NP fill effects on her NP, getting Kiara’s NP back up more often.
Hans Christian Andersen
Hans Christian Andersen
Hans ironically is a good support to Kiara, helping her deal more crit damage while also providing star gen, arts cards to chain with, bonus crit gen, attack and defense buffs and health regen.
Lancelot (Saber)
Lancelot (Saber)
Lancelot is an arts focused crit servant who can generate amazing amounts of stars even on his arts cards while also having many skills to boost the amount of stars on hand. This allows him and Kiara to crit easily while also topping up each other’s NP gauges.

Best CEs

CEExplanation
Another Ending
Another Ending
Another ending boosts Kiara’s 2 main forms of damage. It boosts her crit damage as well as her Arts cards, allowing her to build up more NP which leads to more NP spam and what not.
Piece of Year 2030
Piece of Year 2030
2030 gives Kiara a passive star gen source so as to ease the troubles of her requiring a stargen servant to upkeep her crit reliant kit. This also support her team crit more as well, leading to even more crit stars to be utilised by the team.
Professor and Me
Professor and Me
This CE allows Kiara to NP on turn one when she activates her first skill, giving her a full NP gauge on top of giving herself a higher star weightage. This lets her crit more and do more damage consistently throughout the entire fight.

Skills

Upgrade Priority

  • Clairvoyance (Beast) D

    This skill helps Kiara get her debuffs off on enemies while also topping up her Np gauge by a huge amount. This helps her start NPing much earlier in the game and get off her other skills. This skill should be leveled first.
  • Thesis of the still heart A

    This skill allows Kiara to drop the gauges of the enemies, allowing the turn to avoid being NPed for one more turn, stalling out the game. Furthermore, it drops the opposing team’s defenses, allowing the entire team to deal more damage than previously before.This skill should be leveled second.
  • Goddess Metamorphosis EX

    This skill buffs up Kiara while also providing her protection in the form of invincibility. It also provides NP gen up, crit damage up and increased healing. This synergizes well with her kit but has a cost of 3000 HP for it. Furthermore, it has a long cooldown time on it. This skill should be leveled last.

Hit-Count3315

Kiara’s cards have a low hitcount with unamazing generation stats. This leads to less than satisfactory crits and NP gen. She can arts chain with her NP card but even then, it is not likely that she will be able to refund her entire NP gauge back.

Kiara is actually super effective against SIX classes (Riders, Casters, Assassins, Berserkers, Rulers and Foreigners).
