Notes
Samantha provides the strongest heals in the game, but she is less versatile than characters like Cocoa, Angel, and/or Inanna, as she doesn’t really do much buffing alongside the heals she provides. She also doesn’t have any debuff removal cooked into her heals, so it’s on you to give her equipment that takes care of that—namely the Reorganized Cube and the Empress tarot, both of which are relatively necessary to get her to function as a competent support-healer who can handle debuff removal.
Her main method of healing is built into her trait and, especially once she reaches 3-star, it can keep your units (especially your tank) alive through repeated attacks in a single turn, since it heals after each strike. To that end, her Ultimate, Sacred Sanctuary, is an easy pick for most content, as it makes her trait healing much more reliable.
Her second skill is a useful ally-debuff/enemy-buff cleanse—always helpful to have that around, especially given how big its range is!
As for the final skill, you can go a few ways with it. I included her AoE heal in the kit, in case she needs to heal during her own turn to supplement the off-turn heals, but you don’t have to do that, if you have other sources of healing or the content doesn’t require it. You can either bring her leader aura (though it’s just a basic ATK/DEF boost), or you can bring her Divine Wrath skill, to inflict [⦸Active Skills] on enemies.
Overall, the big thing about Samantha is managing her NRG, as, without it, she’s not going to be adding much to your team.
When rolling stats, aim for M.ATK.
