A Comprehensive Guide to Mastering Druvis III: Best Builds and Team Compositions

Druvis III's Abilities Explained

Ultimate: Silence in the Woods

Silence in the Woods is a mass attack skill that delivers a powerful 400% Mental DMG to all enemies, with an additional effect of inflicting Petrify on the primary target for one round.

This skill is the cornerstone of Druvis III's role as a control DPS, capable of not only dealing significant damage across the board but also disabling a key opponent.

The Petrify status prevents the affected enemy from acting, essentially removing them from the equation for a turn.

However, this potent control effect is dispelled after the enemy takes a Reality DMG attack.

This introduces a strategic layer to using Druvis III, and you must carefully consider your team's attack sequence to avoid breaking the Petrify status.

‍

First Skill: Wind into the Woods

At its base level, Wind into the Woods is a straightforward single-target attack dealing 200% Mental DMG.

At level two, the skill retains its damage output but gains the ability to inflict Petrify for one round. This addition enhances her control over the battlefield by disabling key enemy units.

At level three, it boosts the damage to 300% Mental DMG and extends the Petrify duration to two rounds.

‍

Second Skill: Early Dawn

Early Dawn starts as a mass attack targeting two enemies with 120% (up to 300%) Mental DMG, and enjoys a 30% Penetration Rate.

It can pierce enemy defenses and makes it a nice-to-have tool in Druvis III's kit for weakening up or finishing off key targets.

Ideal Team Compositions

Petrify Control Team

• Druvis III (Control DPS): Serves as the cornerstone of the team with her ability to inflict Petrify, controlling the battlefield by disabling key targets.
• Satsuki (Debuffer/DPS): Complements Druvis III by refreshing and exploiting the Petrify status. Satsuki's abilities can prolong the control effects on enemies, ensuring they remain incapacitated while the team deals damage.
• La Source (Healer/Support): Provides healing and additional support, ensuring the team's sustainability. Her plant-based abilities can also benefit from Druvis III's Insight 3 enhancement, further strengthening the team's synergy.
• Flex Slot (DPS/Utility): Depending on the content, this slot can be filled by a character that either provides additional damage, further control, or utility. For a full plant team, a character like Rabies could add poison debuffs, enhancing the team's overall DPS through debuff synergies.

‍

Mixed Damage Team

• Druvis III (Control DPS): Her role remains pivotal for applying Petrify and dealing mental damage.
• An-an Lee (Buffer/DPS): Offers buffs to enhance the team's damage output, particularly benefiting Druvis III's Insight 1, which increases her damage when under positive status effects.
• La Source (Healer/Support): Ensures the team's longevity with healing and buffs, which can also trigger Druvis III's damage boost under Insight 1.
• Sonetto (DPS/Debuffer): Adds versatility to the team with additional damage and debuffs, rounding out the team's ability to handle various threats.

‍

Poison Team

• Druvis III (Control DPS): Acts as the team leader, enhancing plant allies with her Insight III, granting them the Circle of Life status for increased damage and healing.
• Jessica (Poison DPS): Exploits poison debuffs for high damage output, synergizing well with Druvis III's control capabilities to keep enemies petrified while poison takes effect.
• Sotheby (Healer): Provides necessary healing, more poison, and benefits from being a plant ally, receiving buffs from Druvis III's Insight 3.
• Kanjira (Debuffer/DPS): Adds more poison debuffs and DPS, benefiting from the plant synergy and enhancing the team's overall damage through debuff stacking.
