Zold out: Arianna Guide (Information, Tips and Tricks)

Arianna, the “Dream at the Pen Point”, is the soft spoken author of the famous novel Tale of the Blue Ocean. She is accompanied by a fairy rabbit, simply named Mr. Rabbit.

In combat, Arianna is a Summoner Mage who brings to her team not only a 5th member, but also a good mix of supportive effects and damage dealing ability, making her an extremely versatile addition to just about any team.

Arianna’s stats, at level 100 and with no awakenings, are as follows:

As a Summoner, Arianna is quite frail and has to rely on her summon, Mr. Rabbit, or other allies to keep enemies from attacking her.

Her INT stat is also not that high, hurting her personal damage. Her Passive 2 does, however, increase it by a good amount, making her quite deadly so long as she can keep it active.

Revives Mr. Rabbit if he is dead, and heals him for 60% of his Max HP.
Deals Magic DMG and reduces the ATK of enemies hit by 15% for 1 turn.
Mr. Rabbit will prioritize attacking enemies hit.

Notes:

• Mr. Rabbit does not necessarily revive in the same place that he died. Under certain conditions, he may be unable to revive at all. (See Mr. Rabbit’s section)
• Despite not being a chant, this ultimate can be aimed freely, like most chanting weapons, rather than centering around a primary target, like an Oak Wand would. Despite this, it cannot be cast with no targets in range.

When the battle starts, gain 18 Ult Charge and summon Mr. Rabbit (Level 90) near the enemy.

Charge Gain: 10 / 12 / 14 / 16 / 18
Mr. Rabbit Level: 10 / 30 / 50 / 70 / 90
Mr. Rabbit Attack/Ultimate Level: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5

Notes:

• While Mr. Rabbit tends to be summoned near enemies, there is still a huge degree of randomness to his exact location. Under certain conditions, he may be unable to be summoned at all. (See Mr. Rabbit’s section)

While Mr. Rabbit is alive, increases self INT by 325, and the whole team’s MDF by 250.

INT Increase: 200 / 250 / 275 / 300 / 325
MDF Increase: 50 / 100 / 150 / 200 / 250

• There are no ranges associated with this passive. It will be active no matter where Mr. Rabbit is, as long as he is alive, and the MDF buff will affect all allies, including Arianna herself and Mr. Rabbit, no matter where they are.

Mr. Rabbit’s stats, at level 100, are as follows:

Image taken from Arianna’s Trial, and thus includes her MDF buff at full awakening. Without it, Mr. Rabbit’s MDF would be 750.

Each time Mr. Rabbit is summoned or revived, he will start with AP equal to his Speed stat.

During his turn, Mr. Rabbit is capable of moving for 2 AP, using his Ultimate, or performing a sword attack. He will typically target the nearest enemy.

Notes:

• Each time Mr. Rabbit is summoned or revived, he will spawn in a random location, with a high chance of being near enemies, at 1 HP. If spawned in a trap or hazard and instantly defeated, he will attempt to spawn one more time. If both attempts fail, Mr. Rabbit will not spawn. After a successful spawn, he will have his HP set to max, if being summoned, or be healed, if being revived.

Mr. Rabbit is quite fragile for a melee character, and tends to mindlessly walk into danger, which makes keeping him alive a challenge. He is, however, quite important for Arianna’s damage contribution in a team, both for his own sword attacks, and also for allowing her to keep her Passive 2 active. Due to this, she greatly appreciates teammates that can help keep him alive.

• Healers in general may prefer to have healing and buffing tomes with wide areas of effect, as there will be one more teammate to benefit from them.
• Characters that can move allies, such as Mamie or Natalie, or those that can stop them from moving, such as Eileen, may help keep Mr. Rabbit out of too much trouble.
• Mr. Rabbit’s decent DEF and high MDF stats greatly benefit from damage reduction effects from characters such as Dolly or Felicia. Notably, Tess is able to consistently provide one, while also healing and buffing him, thanks to her Ultimate.
• As Arianna’s damage is based on her INT, and Mr. Rabbit’s is on his STR, the duo can benefit from any character that can increase either of those stats. Notably, Oscar’s Ultimate can increases both stats for both of them at the same time, and for a long duration.
• Characters with low AP cost weapons, such as archers, may allow Arianna’s Exclusive Weapon to be more consistently drawn into the hand, and thus allow her to heal Mr. Rabbit more often.
• If saving him is not possible, Arianna’s Ultimate can be used to bring Mr. Rabbit back at the start of her turn, regaining the INT buff before dealing damage. Characters that accelerate her Ult Charge generation, such as Aaliyah or Charity, allow her to do so more often.
• For these reasons, you should be careful if pairing Arianna with teammates that damage their allies, such as Keith or Gino.

Arianna is also capable of focusing more on her supportive aspects, rather than damage, if desired. By equipping Ult Charge generating Wands, she can cast her ultimate much more often, healing and reviving Mr. Rabbit to draw the attention of enemies away from her and her teammates, while also reducing their ATK and increasing her team’s MDF.
