Syrenna guide: skills, build and team roles
Overview
Syrenna is a Rare Fire Melee Attacker from the Lightseekers Faction in Invokers: Titan Legacy. She cuts through groups with Mighty Rend, which hits up to eight enemies and comes back very quickly once upgraded. Her Ultimate, Raging Truth, casts Burn on up to eight enemies in a cone, damages their nearby allies for half as much and heals her. Broken Oath casts DEF Down on one enemy, so your team hits it harder.
Her damage scales from ATK, and her Burn deals a percentage of the target's MAX HP per tick, capped by her ATK. Fully Awakened and before Gear, Syrenna has 766 ATK, 531 DEF and 6,480 HP, with 60 Accuracy and 60 Combo SPD. Her Accuracy helps both Burn and DEF Down land.
She has no buffs or shields, so she needs a Tank in front of her. Her Raging Truth heal is the only recovery she has.
Skills To Prioritize
Mighty Rend hits up to eight enemies in a 3m semicircle in front of her. Its damage rises from 135% ATK at Level 1 to 253.8% at Level 10 and 270% at Max Level, and its cooldown falls from 28 seconds to 21 at Level 8, 17 at Level 10 and 15 at Max Level.
Raging Truth, her Ultimate, hits up to eight enemies in a 60-degree, 6m cone and casts Burn that ticks every 2 seconds. The Burn is 1% of MAX HP at Level 1, 1.4% at Level 10 and 1.5% at Max Level, lasting 6, 7 and then 8 seconds. Its cap rises from 150% ATK at Level 1 to 250% at Level 9 and 300% at Max Level. The Burn also hits the target's allies within 6m for half as much. Raging Truth heals her for 10% of the damage dealt at Level 1 and 25% from Level 10. It costs 900 Mana, then 850 from Level 8 and 800 at Max Level, and it needs Accuracy.
Broken Oath hits one enemy and casts DEF Down: 10% for 8 seconds at Level 1, 16% for 12 seconds at Level 10 and 18% at Max Level. Its cooldown falls from 29 seconds to 24 and then 22. It needs Accuracy.
If you want Syrenna to clear waves, upgrade Mighty Rend first, as its cooldown falls to 17 seconds at Level 10 and 15 at Max Level. If you want her to set enemies burning, upgrade Raging Truth first, as Level 9 lifts the Burn cap to 250% ATK and Max Level to 300%. If you want her to help your team deal more damage to one target, upgrade Broken Oath first, as Max Level raises DEF Down to 18%.
Build And Team Support
Build ATK and Accuracy to the maximum. Her Burn is a percentage of enemy MAX HP capped by her ATK, so don't build Crit Rate or Crit DMG, as they don't add to Burn ticks, and put Accuracy first so Burn and DEF Down land. Burn and DEF Down both need Accuracy, so put Accuracy on your Chestplate and your Flask, then keep stacking it. Mana Gen on your Talisman gets her to Raging Truth sooner, and Skill RECOV brings Mighty Rend back faster.
For Relic Sets, Attack Relics raise the ATK her Burn cap scales from, and Accuracy Relics help Burn and DEF Down land. Spark Relics add Skill SPD, which makes Burn tick faster, and Fury Relics bring Mighty Rend back sooner. Mana Relics help her reach Raging Truth.
Pair her with a Tank to keep enemies off her and a healer or Shielder to keep her alive while Burn ticks.
Arena, Bosses And Spires
In Arena, Mighty Rend hits several enemies at once, and Raging Truth's Burn hurts the whole team standing close together. Be wary of enemy Invokers with Immunity or Skills that cleanse debuffs, as they can wipe out her Burn and DEF Down.
Against Yskara, Melee Attackers shine, and Syrenna's native Fatigue Tolerance covers one of her Corruptions. Be wary of Hyxxis, because each Burn cast on her shortens Ensacment's cooldown by 1 second, and Raging Truth casts Burn on up to eight targets. Fire Omnissi is immune to Burn, so Raging Truth's Burn won't work on her.
Against Sedula, Mighty Rend and Raging Truth both hit up to eight enemies, which helps clear her Tentacles quickly. Broken Oath's DEF Down raises the damage Sedula takes. She takes 70% less damage from Burn, so treat Raging Truth's Burn as a bonus and rely on her direct hits. Sedula changes Element every day, and Syrenna has Elemental Advantage on the days she is Earth.
In the Fire Spire, Mighty Rend's short cooldown clears waves. Pair her with Invokers of a similar Rarity: Ballus the Bull, a Rare Fire Tank, casts Taunt and Heal Reduction, Custodian Plumia, an Epic Fire Support, heals, removes debuffs and casts Immunity, and Meldrun the Mixer, a Rare Fire Support, casts Skill Recovery Up and Regeneration.
Awaken
Awakening boosts an Invoker's stats significantly. Bonuses from Relics, Accessories, the Trophy Room, Tactics and Titan leader bonuses apply to base stats and Awakening stats alike, so unlocking the Awakening nodes is critical to maximise Syrenna's potential.
Unlocking each Titan node at Star 2, 4 and 6 adds a second to Titan Invokation, taking the total from 12 seconds to 15.
