Strengths and Weaknesses

Costumes

Justia currently has 5 costumes, most of which simply deal Fixed DMG, Pool Party being the exception as a setup costume. Blood Glutton also has the bonus of giving Justia tons of extra Light DMG.

White Reaper

Very Front

Quarter Moon Jab
SP ◆ 3 — CD ● 5 Turns
Deals Fixed Physical DMG based off of 275% of ATK.

Acquirable from Infinite Reroll. Also acquired for free from Story Pack 1.

This skill used to be unique, as it was once her only costume that could cost 2 SP, which gave you room to use 1 SP on Homunculus Lathel and 2 SP on some other costume. Now that Blood Glutton and Kendo Club can also cost 2 SP, you can use any of the three in your PvP opener, each with different pros and cons.

White Reaper being single hit makes Justia less susceptible against counters from Sylvia or Lecliss. So honestly this is more of a case to use this costume after the opener.

Key Upgrades: Design +3, Skill Potential 2 if combined with Knight of Blood, others are nice to have.

Knight of Blood

Very Front

Lunar Halo
SP ◆ 4 — CD ● 5 Turns
Attack 3 Times, each attack deals Fixed Physical DMG based off of 75% of ATK.

Acquirable from Infinite Reroll. Also acquired for free from Story Pack 1.

This is the only costume that isn't really good for the PvP opener, given that it costs at least 3 SP. However, with the range upgrade from her potentials, this definitely is a pretty reliable follow up skill.

Key Upgrades: Design +3, Skill Potential 3, Skill Potential 2 if combined with White Reaper, others are nice to have.

Blood Glutton

Very Front

The Fang of Gluttony
SP ◆ 3 — CD ● 7 Turns
Elemental DMG increases by 200% for 8 turns. Recover HP equal to 35% of max HP. Deal Fixed Physical DMG based off of 150% of ATK.

This costume is nutty with the range upgrade, being a 2 SP, 3×3 AoE. It'd be completely uncontested in PvP compared to her other costumes if it weren't for the fact that the Fixed DMG multipliers are on the lower end. You'll definitely be needing a lot of dupes on this costume to hit HP breakpoints in PvP, and even then, it'd be kind of unreliable versus meta tanks once they get their potentials.

The fact however that this costume can easily hit multiple enemies makes this a formidable costume in PvP.

Oh right, the Elemental DMG buff. Even with this insane buff, it can only do so much for Justia. Her ceiling damage with this costume still does not compare to any of the other light DPS units, even Angelica. This costume does not make her competitive in PvE.

Key Upgrades: Design +1, Skill Potential 3, everything else helps her reach HP breakpoints.

Kendo Club

Very Front

Sakura Halo's Stroke
SP ◆ 4 — CD ● 5 Turns
Attack 3 Times, each attack deals Fixed Physical DMG based off of 90% of ATK.

Interestingly enough, this costume is kind of her highest multiplier costume, at 759% with her own chains accounted for. Additionally, because a lot of players in PvP position their units to avoid taking collateral by single line AoEs, Kendo Club's V pattern may unironically be more reliable than White Reaper's. This costume isn't free though, so definitely make do with what costumes you have at your disposal.

Key Upgrades: Design +3, Skill Potential 3, others are nice to have.

Pool Party

Me

Food Fighter
SP ◆ 2 — CD ● 7 Turns
Evade enemy attacks with 100% chance until you successfully dodge 2 Times. Increase ATK by 150% for 8 turns.

Limited costume tied to summer events.

This costume is designed to be used in the PvP opener. That may not be appealing to some because that means not using any of her Fixed DMG costumes for a guaranteed kill on turn 1, but this costume is great for when you have other units who can pick up the slack offensively. For example, if you're using a magic team (Helena → Zenith → Schera → Diana) and have 1 SP left over, Pool Party Justia (+3) slots in quite nicely with her evasion.

The SP battery skill potential is pretty relevant when you use this costume in the opener, as it gives your team extra protection against Eclipse's SP drain. The buff duration potential on the other hand is a bit of a ribbon, since her buff already lasts for 8 turns.

Key Upgrades: Design +3, Skill Potential 2, evasion and buff upgrades are nice to have.

Building Justia

The builds here will be for PvP, since that's where Justia sees play. Building her can be a bit tricky, since it depends on your substats, and whether you have her exclusive weapon:

Royaldite
Exclusive Stat — 45 ATK%
Correct Main Stats — ATK + either ATK or ATK%
This exclusive weapon is a big boost in Justia's damage, given that she only wants ATK stats.

Bond Potential

♦ Several bond nodes are locked behind a skill potential.

Read below to see which potential is best for your Justia.

Optimal Build [PvP]

Optimal Substat Spread (Assuming BBS Refinements) — 15 ATK% substats

Yes, you read it right, Justia's optimal build does require her to have full ATK% substats. This is because flat ATK in main stats and potentials are valued higher than they are in substats. Thus the optimal build takes flat ATK from all possible main stats and bond potentials (White Reaper or Knight of Blood) and takes ATK% from all the substats.

The above build is substat reroll hell. Thus if you're not a masochist (or an unhinged Justia enjoyer), you can settle with a slightly worse build (about 2-3% worse), where you balance ATK% and flat ATK substats (still skewed towards ATK%) and take ATK% from your potentials (Kendo Club or Pool Party).

Justia wants full DEF gear because a) Lecliss and her counters are a menace, and b) you can't get ATK/% substats from MRES gear.

You can either take CR + HP% or CDMG + HP% as her accessory, it shouldn't really matter since she can't crit.
