Field assessment

Strengths

S1 is a focused emergency heal, while S3 supplies healing, slow and Arts damage amplification.

Limitations

S3 has a demanding cycle and asks for coordinated damage. Dedicated Protectors can be better against sustained physical pressure.

Upgrade advice

S1 M1 is a focused breakpoint for regular lane duty. Work on S3 when your Arts squad can exploit its window.

Common questions about Saria

Which Saria mastery should I do first?

S1 M1 is a useful first step if Saria spends most stages healing your frontline. Its SP cost drops from five to four. Invest in S3 when you have Arts damage dealers ready to use the burst window.

How do I pair Saria with an Arts attacker?

Position Saria so the target is in Calcification’s area. Activate the damaging skill while the target is affected, and check that the attacker can reach it for the full window.
