Following the rise of magic decks in Seven Knights Re:BIRTH, a new awakened hero 'Clemis' has emerged, specialising in defensive decks. In truth, she is not just for defensive setups; she possesses the uncanny ability to apply specific buffs based on whether your allies are Attack, Magic, Defence, or Support types. Furthermore, her unique 'Ally Role Support' passive ensures she doesn't break your team synergy. KookminTree has analysed the full potential of this new hero.

Q. Who exactly is Clemis?
A. She is a Support hero who provides role-specific buffs to her allies.

As a Support hero, Clemis is essentially designed to replace 'Alice' in defensive decks. Her defining trait is the aforementioned ability to grant buffs tailored to each ally's role.

Her 'Perfect Trap' skill inflicts magic damage on all enemies while granting all allies 'Continuous Recovery - Effect Resistance Increase - Received Healing Increase' for 3 turns. The recovery scales at 15% of Clemis’s max HP, and the resistance and healing bonuses scale with skill enhancement.

'Tune of Providence' is a pure utility skill devoid of any direct attack. It buffs allies based on their type: 'Crit Damage Increase for 4 turns' for Attack and Magic types, 'Defence Increase for 4 turns' for Defence and Support types, and 'Damage Increase - Effect Hit Increase for 4 turns' for Universal types. As a bonus, it applies a Damage Reduction debuff for 3 turns to all enemies with a 100% base chance, though keep in mind this may fluctuate based on the target's resistance. Enhancing the skill extends the damage reduction duration to 4 turns.

Her passive, 'Mysterious Intellect', grants 'Block Chance Increase based on Max HP - Resurrection - Ally Role Support'. Additionally, all enemies suffer a constant Attack power reduction, and all allies gain 'Continuous Recovery for 1 turn' every time Clemis casts a skill, matching the 15% recovery rate of Perfect Trap.

Her Awakening skill, 'Power of Salvation', revives two fallen allies and applies role-specific bonuses. Attack and Magic types are revived with 2 turns of Immortality, while Defence, Support, and Universal types return with 65% HP. Simultaneously, it restores all allies' HP by 26% of Clemis's max HP. The revived allies also gain 'Crowd Control Immunity for 2 turns'. I highly recommend enhancing this skill, as it extends the Immortality effect to 3 turns—effectively giving your Attack and Magic heroes the equivalent of a 6-star Immortality Ring.

Q. What are Clemis's core buffs and debuffs?
A. Block Chance Increase based on Max HP, Ally Role Support, Effect Hit Increase, and Effect Resistance Increase.

The 'Block Chance Increase' from her passive provides 3% block chance per 1,000 HP, capping at 33%. You reach this cap once Clemis hits 11,000 max HP. The 'Ally Role Support' acts as a filler to meet team composition requirements—for instance, in a 5-player battle, if you have 4 Attack types, Clemis counts as an Attack type despite her Support classification.

Do note, however, that she remains a Support type. For example, the defensive staple 'Palanus' requires 'Defence or Support' allies to trigger her 'Mark' effect. In a team of 'Clemis (Support) - Radgrid (Defence) - Palanus (Universal) - Gelidus (Universal) - Sun Wukong (Universal)', Palanus's Mark triggered successfully. Conversely, Radgrid’s 'Guard' skill, which only applies to Universal types, did not apply to Clemis. Keep this in mind when building your defensive line.

Q. What gear should I equip on Clemis?
A. I recommend an HP-focused setup using 'Paladin' and 'Gatekeeper' sets.

Since her block chance scales with max HP, you need at least 11,000 HP. Aim for the 'Paladin' set for HP and 'Gatekeeper' for block chance. There is no need for 'Attack %' or 'Crit Chance' as her offensive output is negligible. Focus your slots on 'HP % - Block Chance - Damage Reduction Taken' to maximise survivability. Depending on the current meta in the Arena, splashing in some 'Effect Resistance' is a wise move, especially since 'Perfect Trap' provides a 37% bonus, making it relatively easy to reach the 100% threshold.
