Abbess

Last Updated: September 4, 2026

Abbess Overview

Following her rebalance, Abbess is a powerful AoE damage dealer who combines Decrease DEF, self buffing, buff stealing, and strong Ignore DEF mechanics, making her a self sufficient nuker for PvE and taking down enemy teams in PvP.

Abbess is a Force affinity damage dealer from the Sacred Order faction, bringing hard hitting AoE attacks alongside Decrease DEF to help tear through enemy teams. Following her latest rebalance, she can now place Decrease DEF before attacking with her A2, while ignoring 15% DEF and Shields, then gains an Extra Turn if the attack kills an enemy. This makes her much more effective at setting up her own damage, as well as the team.

Her A3 is her main source of damage, placing Increase ATK on herself before attacking all enemies once Ascended. The attack ignores 15% of each target’s DEF, increasing to 30% if Abbess has more ATK than the target has DEF, while also ignoring Unkillable. Her new passive further enhances her offensive potential, allowing her to ignore 25% RES when her ATK is higher than the target’s, while increasing her ATK by 5% for every buff she receives or steals, stacking up to 50%.

Abbess also brings additional utility through her A1, transferring one random debuff from herself onto the target before stealing one of their buffs. Overall, her improved damage, built in Ignore DEF, self buffing, Decrease DEF, and scaling ATK make her a much stronger AoE nuker for clearing waves across PvE content, while also giving her potential against enemy teams in PvP.
