Witness Guide

Rare
Magic
Support
The Sacred Order

Witness earns a 1.8/5.0 rating because her kit is fundamentally outclassed by almost every other support Rare in the game. While the combination of Block Debuffs and a MAX HP-based Shield on her A3 provides some theoretical utility, the 1-turn duration on the debuff protection is far too short to be reliable in high-level play. Her A1 and A2 are lackluster, offering only single-target impact and the weaker 30% version of the Increase DEF buff. Compared to Rares like Apothecary, who provides Speed and heals, or Spirithost, who is farmable and offers a full team cleanse, Witness fails to justify
