Samantha Sword of Convallaria: Character Guide #18

Character Introduction

Samantha, the Gentle and Devout Saintess in Sword of Convallaria, is a powerful support character known for her unmatched healing abilities. Adopted by the Grand Sanctuary in the Papal States of Rodinia, Samantha's exceptional talents earned her a superior education and a role as a Judge in Iria.

As a Legendary healer, she provides a 30% healing boost, the highest in the game. Her skills, like [Pious Prayer] and [Sacred Sanctuary], ensure her allies remain strong, offering group damage immunity and near-death protection. Despite her devotion, Samantha faces deep inner conflicts between her faith and her personal beliefs.

Main Trait: Pious Prayer

Pious Prayer enhances the healing effect on nearby allies. When any ally within 3 tiles of Samantha falls into the [Injured] state (HP below 70%) after being attacked, Samantha uses 1 NRG to heal them for 50% of her Magic Attack (M.ATK). Additionally, all allies within 3 tiles receive 30% more healing. The [Injured] state reduces an ally's damage dealt by 20% and increases the damage they take by 20%.

Samantha Quick Guide

Samantha is a unique character in Sword of Convallaria, known for her exceptional healing abilities and supportive role. As one of the two legendary healers at the moment (the other one is Inanna), she plays a crucial part in keeping the team's health in check. Her core skills are primarily focused on healing, support, and crowd control, making her an indispensable asset to any team.

Samantha's core skills revolve around healing, support, and damage mitigation. Her Radiant Blessing skill heals all allies within a specific range, providing additional healing to the primary target. This skill also grants allies increased damage and physical defense. Her defense cabailities is excellent, thanks to her Watcher profession and her ability to avoid death through her [Devout Faith] skill.

[Sacred Sanctuary] is another essential skill for Samantha. This ability grants allies within a certain range damage reduction and increased healing received. Additionally, at the end of her turn, Samantha automatically heals the ally with the lowest health percentage, ensuring that vulnerable teammates are always prioritized. Her trait extends the range of this skill and allows it to activate without consuming energy, making it a powerful defensive tool.

On the offensive side, Samantha possesses [Divine Wrath] and [Light of Celestial Purge]. [Divine Wrath] inflicts damage on all enemies within a linear range and disables their active skills. This skill also replenishes Samantha's energy, allowing her to sustain her healing abilities throughout the battle. [Light of Celestial Purge] deals damage to all enemies surrounding Samantha, dispels buffs from enemies, and debuffs from allies, providing a valuable utility function.
