Skill 1: Twine Dance
Deals 240% damage to a single enemy and increases Sania’s strike prep by 30%.
This boosts her turn cycle, allowing more frequent passive healing and skill usage.
Passive: Dewy Essence
At the end of her turn, heals the two lowest-HP allies for 16% of her max HP and cleanses one debuff. Healing is further increased by 1% for every 1% HP Sania is missing.
This is one of the strongest passive healing mechanics in the game, scaling with her bulk and rewarding frequent turns.
Skill 3: Forest Heart
Heals a target for 20% of their max HP, applies All-Powerful Protection, and can revive a fallen ally. If used for a revival, the cooldown is increased by 1 extra turn.
- All-Powerful Protection: Increases max HP by 20%, stacks up to 3 times, and cannot be dispelled.
This creates huge scaling potential and is incredible for keeping squishier teammates alive longer.

- Diamond Heart / Mermaid Princess – Cleansing and HP sustain
- Electro Squid / Gigabyte – Turn cycling
- Alicorn / Blizzard – Debuff cleanse, sustain, or HP boost
- Supernova – Adds extra strike prep
- Codex of Magic – Makes her next skill have no cooldown (amazing for revive clutch)
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Always-active passive healing tied to HP scaling
- Cleanses debuffs every turn passively
- Can revive one ally, one of only two Animus with revive
- Applies All-Powerful Protection, scaling max HP up to 60% and cannot be dispelled
- Perfect for PvP sustain and PvE progression
Cons:
- Revive only affects one unit and has a long cooldown
- No damage output or offensive support—her full value is defensive
- In longer fights requiring multiple revives, her kit can’t keep up alone
Still, what she brings is consistent and essential to survivability.
