Guide🔗

Note: The following is NamuWiki community assessment (KR server), subjective community opinion.

Performance:

• Base class is Valkyrie. Tier 2 has the unique class "Pathfinder"; Tier 3 classes are Arc Valkyrie / Divine Valkyrie / Storm Walker. Ultimate is the traditional Punga Yeolgongcham.
• Unique passive "Battlefield Cold Wind": attack power rises per unit within the surrounding 8 tiles, and if she dealt damage to an enemy that turn she can grant herself 1 of 2 unremovable buffs. Stat-based multipliers and counts scale with awakening level.
• Fierce Battle: on counterattack, attack power increases by the ratio of lost HP to deal damage, and heals HP based on attack power once per turn until the next turn start. Since attack power rises and healing is attached, this is generally the chosen buff.
• Guardian: defense/resistance increases by 15% of attack power, and guards allies within 2 tiles a set number of times. Chosen when you need to protect allies.
• Tier 3: offense-defense hybrid Arc Valkyrie, defense-oriented Divine Valkyrie, and Storm Walker (AoE boost + extra move). All share the control-zone-ignoring movement trait.
• Arc Valkyrie has good offense/defense balance and best fits Sara's deal-tank nature, so it is the #1 recommended class. Its passive blocks crits and halves enemy attacks at 80% chance, and if HP is 70%+ attack rises up to 30% and it ignores up to 30% of enemy defense, so both offense and defense are excellent. With the unique passive's attack-based HP recovery, tanking and sustain are very strong.
• Divine Valkyrie, like Arc Valkyrie, blocks crits and halves enemy attacks at 80% chance; instead of an attack boost, on kill it gains a buff reducing AoE damage taken by 90% for 2 turns. The reduction is high but it is a buff and limited to AoE, so not highly recommended. However, its Fair Challenge skill, which forcibly drags an enemy in for 100% attack-multiplier damage plus reduces move by 2 and applies a +30% crit-rate debuff on the target, is quite effective on gimmick stages like the Hero's Grave.
• Storm Walker gets extra movement after attacking and up to +20% attack on AoE. It follows the exclusive Pathfinder-Storm Walker route and switches its weapon to sword, so the exclusive weapon cannot be equipped. Since Sara has no strong AoE skill and her ultimate is single-target, the AoE attack buff cannot be leveraged; thus treated as a class taken just for stats. However, the Half-Moon Slash learned from Pathfinder is usable.
• Core skill is learned from Bifrost Valkyrie: spends TP 3 to deal 130% attack-multiplier damage to 1 enemy; if it survives, pierces through dealing +30% damage and stuns; if killed, refunds 2 TP. Stun utility speaks for itself.
• Another core skill is Lightning Blade, learned from base Valkyrie: spends TP 1 to make herself immune to action/skill control and, on attack, converts 1 enemy buff to a debuff, a 2-turn buff. An already tanky character becomes strong against status effects too.
• Usually you take the above two and pick between 130% multiplier single-target, retreat 1 tile after attack and 150% multiplier single-target, pushes target 1 tile.
• Ultimate Punga Yeolgongcham is a single-target burst skill with this mechanism: first deals 60% attack damage; raises crit rate up to 30% and deals additional 60% + up to 30% damage; then with crit raised up to another 30% deals additional 60% + up to 30% + up to 30% damage. "Up to 30%" scales with awakening level; in conclusion, by attack multiplier alone it is 225% at 3-star and 270% at 6-star. This attack cannot be counterattacked, and grants extra movement afterward. As an aside, its performance is exactly the same as the later-released Joan.

Exclusive weapon & recommended gear:

• Exclusive weapon is the traditional Sylphid. Adds 15% attack extra stat, +10% attack on counter, and a Haste buff granting +2 move for 2 turns at a certain chance at turn start. Marksman: guard count +1. Fierce Battle: +10% more attack on counter. It also separately enhances the unique passive, so synergy with Sara is very good; since hero-grade-and-below thin swords perform poorly in this game, acquiring Sylphid is strongly recommended to use Sara.
• For armor, being a deal-tank, the Senior Scout set giving HP boost and healing is recommended; at Legendary grade the Wind-Cloud set, modeled on G.S's outfit with a similar but stronger effect plus an attack buff, is appropriate.
• For accessory, the Censer of Healing further raising survivability is standard. In some cases the Balanced Blade is adopted. At hero grade, the Wound Aggravation Charm boosting tanking is also good.

Evaluation:

• A deal-tank that protects allies with strong single-target attacks and tankiness. Once set up, sustain becomes excellent; even in dangerous situations where HP drops below half, you may see her recover to near full HP on her own next turn. At launch she was a strong character used almost mandatorily in most content. However, since dodge triggers at 80% chance, failing the 20% can be a big hit.
• Since then many characters that could replace Sara's role have appeared, and especially with Joan, said to be almost a strict upgrade, being released, she has been pushed out of the front line as of 2025. Still, she is sometimes used as a sniper pick against Emilio and others.
• No explicit S/A/B tier letter rating is present in the source.
