Sara Builds
 : Kia Staff | A : Atk/Spd Push 4 |
 : Return+ | B : Dazzling Staff 3 |
 : Miracle | C :Joint Drive Res |
| S : Distant Guard 3 |
This build bolsters Sara’s role as a support to her allies, while also making sure she can tank some hits from enemies that use Magic.
Recommended IVs
| +Spd/-Res | The best IVs for Sara are +Spd and -Res. A higher Spd stat allows Sara to get a ton of follow-up attacks on her foes. This is because her Spd is already decent considering she is a staff unit. Additionally and more importantly, it protects her from hostile follow-up attacks. Her Def stat is abysmally low, so you cannot afford to lower it further as even the weaker physical units will be able to land hits on her. Her Res stat is very high, so she can definitely take some points off it so it is the best bane she can take. |
| +Spd for a +10 Merge | We recommend a +Spd IV when merging Sara to 10. This is for the same reasons as above. She will be able to nail consistent follow-up attacks at this point especially with support. It will also boost her durabiity by a lot since she will take less follow-up attacks. You can also go for a +Atk IV as it directly increases her heal values from Kia Staff. |

Note: Sara is a ranged magic attacker (range = 2). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage she deals will be equivalent to her Atk minus the foe’s Res stat. However, as she uses a staff, his damage would normally be halved without a Wrathful Staff effect.
Pros & cons
| Pros (Strengths) | Cons (Weaknesses) |
|---|---|
| Neutralizes Penatlties and gives Atk/Spd bonuses in a wide AoE | Low Def |
| Return+ is a combination of a heal and a movement-assist | Return+ does not trigger Special’s cooldown |
| Sara has the qualities of a great offensive unit too! |
