Strengths and Weaknesses

Morpeah's personas are pretty flexible to use, and she has a 1 turn cooldown with potentials!
[PvP] Morpeah's skill is preemptive, allowing her to summon fodder units in defense.

Pretty expensive skill to spam.
Morpeah's personas inherit her stats, but not her buffs. This is something she has to play around.

Costumes

Morpeah currently has 1 costume, Summer Vacation. She can preemptively summon personas that can self-destruct.

Summer Vacation Morpeah debuts a unique mechanic to the game: Allied Zone Summons. When Morpeah summons, she always prioritizes the allied tile on the front left. If that tile is occupied, she then targets the tile to the right. In other words, she summons on the front most row that is not occupied, prioritizing the left most lane afterwards.

Morpeah will always summon Persona of Worship before Persona of Slander.

The damage on the personas she summons is pretty good (not stellar since Morpeah has lower base MATK than a lot of top DPS units, and her exclusive gear is a crit rate circlet), but the real utility is in how flexible these personas are. They can:

  • Focus on a single enemy, making Morpeah really good in single target (besides Last Night, where her summons do not get a turn).
  • Spread their AoE, having up to 6 tiles of AoE when combined.
  • Be used as meat shields, in the case where the enemy has an ability that is difficult to mitigate.

This flexibility does come with a huge caveat, however—the personas inherit Morpeah's unbuffed stats. This means that you need to cast this skill before your buffer, or they won't be buffed. This also means that because of Morpeah's 1 turn cooldown (skill potential 1), her summons won't always be buffed. This can be played around by stacking the summons, since reusing her skill does not remove any current summons, then have them all kamekaze when the buffer's cooldown is over. This strategy is another highlight for Morpeah—she can set up for massive nuke turns in content like Fiend Hunt.

In PvP, Morpeah's skill being preemptive allows her to create summons that can tank for the rest of your team, increasing the chances of your defense team surviving turn 1. Whether she becomes a great alternative to Granhildr will have to come with time.

Since all of Morpeah's dupes scale just her damage, there is no concrete stopping point with her. Just be sure to get a couple DMG upgrades (+2 or +3) so that her DMG is comfortable.

Key Upgrades: Skill Potential 1 and 2, DMG Upgrades add up.

Optimal Build [PvE]

or

Optimal Substat Spread (Assuming BBS Refinements) — 7 MATK% substats + 8 CDMG substats

Use full DEF gear or full MRES gear depending on the enemies you're facing.

Tank Build [PvP]

Substat Spread — 5 DEF + 7 HP% + 3 CDMG substats
Accessory Main Stats — CR + HP%

This build gives Morpeah 50 crit rate, 90 DEF, and 13,000 HP, allowing her personas to tank physical units on defense. Morpeah builds defense since most of the magic attackers have skip targetting, which would end up missing the personas.

Morpeah needs to have Helena on her team to get 100 crit rate. It is not recommended to use Morpeah without Helena in PvP, because trying to build 100 crit rate from gear would make Morpeah and her personas too squishy.
