Dark Countess (Cartilla)

 Super Rare

 Support Persona

Overview

I’d rather put the tutorial Boudoir items into Timekeeper.

Dark Countess (Cartilla) isn’t bad, but she is very quickly outclassed by just about every other unit in the game.

Dark Countess’s main purpose is to improve party survivability. She can buff the party with DEF UP, which reduces incoming damage. The buff duration is 3 turns, which means it has pretty good uptime, especially with the cooldown reduction at Rank 3, giving 75% uptime.

Unfortunately, the positives end here.

Low DPS due to poor stats and a passable buff really doesn’t do her any favors.

Overall, the utility she provides is minimal & really doesn’t warrant a space in your party, especially when compared to what the other Personas bring to the table. In addition, multiple Personas can do the exact thing she does, but better.

Skills

All of Dark Countess’s Skills scale with ATK. Due to low stats, she cannot make the most of it.

The skills below are based on the 0★ form and at Level 1:

Basic Attack
The target takes damage equal to 75 + 100% of ATK, 12% chance of bestowing [Shelter] on a random ally for 3 turns.

[Shelter]: Raise DEF by 25%.

Basic Attack has a 12% chance to give 25% DEF UP to a random ally. You probably won’t even notice it.

Special – Boudoir Noir [Cooldown 3 turns.]

The target takes damage equal to 150 + 150% of ATK, bestow [Shelter] on a random ally for 3 turns.

[Shelter]: Raise DEF by 25%.

Special Attack deals average damage and gives 25% DEF UP to a random ally. This would make a lot more sense if you could choose who to give DEF UP to, but we’re stuck with RNG for this one. Thankfully, her Ultimate does negate this somewhat.

Ultimate – Plague of Fantasies [Cooldown 5 turns.]

The target takes damage equal to 185 + 150% of ATK, bestow [Protect] on all allies for 3 turns.

[Protect]: Raise DEF by 50%.

Dark Countess’s Ultimate gives the entire party 50% DEF up for 3 turns. It has decent uptime, and can be bumped to 75% with the cooldown reduction. Helps immensely with party survivability, but is basically a wasted slot when compared to what the other Personas offer.

Matchups

She simply doesn’t offer enough utility to warrant a space on the team. Her closest matchup is New Moon, and she is on a completely different level.

How to build

ATK Set and stack as much ATK on her as possible to maximize her DPS – she’ll need it.
