Who is Fana?
Fana is a character in the anime and manga series "Black Clover." She's a former member of the Eye of the Midnight Sun, an organization of mages with sinister motives. Fana is associated with fire magic, and her character goes through quite a bit of development in the series.
Fana's connection with Salamander, one of the four great elemental spirits, adds another layer to her character. The bond she forms with this spirit plays a crucial role in the unfolding events within the series. It not only enhances her magical abilities but also adds a mythical and mystical element to her storyline.
The themes of friendship, determination, and growth are prevalent in "Black Clover," and Fana's character is no exception. Her interactions with other characters, especially Asta and the Black Bulls, contribute to the overall themes of the series.
Fana's Role
Fana possesses skill effects akin to Leopold but also encompasses effects not reliant on burn, making her suitable for versatile compositions that avoid excessive specialization.
As burn application is probability-based, it's recommended to use her special move to apply a full attack buff first, then focus on increasing base damage.
Due to the well-coordinated initial special move, she excels on auto mode.
It is advisable to combine her with a character capable of inflicting debuffs. Since Fana herself cannot fulfill the debuff condition for her cooperative skill, another character needs to apply it to unleash her maximum firepower.
Any debuff works, but those contributing to Fana's damage support, such as 'defense reduction' or 'disable,' are particularly recommended.
Recommended Skill Pages
Now, for skill pages, her best-in-slot is her own skill page if you have it, providing a 50% chance to apply burn AoE. The burn has been buffed to 20%, making it stronger. The other good options are the passive skill pages, especially the ones with all-attack increase.
| Skills Page | Reason for Recommendation |
|---|---|
Burning Hatred | ・Motif skill page ・Added probability burn effect to skill II ・Raised attack power/magic power with passive |
Thorn of Thorn | ・Probability of applying critical resistance debuff when attacking ・Make it easier to self-fulfill the conditions of cooperation skills |
Respect for Beliefs | ・Increases damage when HP is 50% or more ・Ideal for laps where stable capture is possible |
Lion's Spirit | - Total attack power increases according to remaining HP - Ideal for laps where stable capture is possible |
Breath of Darkness | ・Unconditionally increases all attack power ・General-purpose page that can be used by other attackers |
Recommended Equipment Sets
Regarding gear, a 50/50 split between magic attack and attack is recommended. However, leaning towards more magic attack is better due to her higher base magic attack. Sets can include attack speed, crit damage, penetration, or accuracy for PvE. Substats should focus on attack, crit, penetration, and accuracy.

Skills and Passives
Skill one has a chance to burn and is a single-target attack with decent damage multipliers. Skill two is very strong, applying lifesteal to herself if there's a burn on the enemy. The alt is a powerful attack that applies an all-attack buff for two turns, reaching up to 120% AoE. Her skill priority would be S ultimate, then skill two. Upgrading skill one is not necessary. Her passives include increased damage dealt when HP is at 100%, which can work well with her lifesteal.
