Amalia is the Coliseum’s fearsome champion and the game’s sole Dreadnought, a unique armored striker who hits like a truck, pierces columns, and punishes enemies for guarding.
She’s recruited through the Drakenhold Coliseum and arrives with standout S-rank Physical Attack, Barrier Breaker as her leader effect, and a kit that shreds defenses while staying accurate and un-dodgeable when needed.
How to Recruit Amalia
Beat Amalia in Drakenhold’s Coliseum (Offline Battle). You must climb the ranks and defeat her Grand Champion squad to recruit her.
You’ll face a high-level team, so prepare a strong roster before attempting the run.
Class Overview: Dreadnought (Armored / Infantry)
Dreadnoughts specialize in brutal single-target and column damage, piercing and unguardable strikes, and anti-guard punishment.
Amalia’s leader effect Barrier Breaker also helps break gates and barricades on the overworld.
Compared to other armored attackers, she trades some durability and speed for overwhelming offensive pressure and guard-bypass tools.

- HP: B – sturdy, but not a wall.
- Physical Attack: S – elite raw damage; her defining stat.
- Physical Defense: B – respectable for an armored striker.
- Magical Attack: F, Magical Defense: E – beware magic/breakers.
- Accuracy: B – reliable baseline.
- Evasion: F – don’t rely on dodging.
- Crit Rate: F – leverage guaranteed-crit tools instead.
- Guard Rate: A – blocks well when it procs.
- Initiative: F – tends to act late without help.
- Leader Effect: Barrier Breaker (break gates/barricades more easily).
- Growth Type: Offensive / Hardy – offense-first with some staying power.
Skills and Abilities
Actives
Heavy Slash (1 AP): High-potency single-target hit (150). Great default finisher.
Penetrate (2 AP): Unguardable column strike that also applies -30% Physical Defense a prime opener vs. bulky lines.
Omega Shatter (2 AP): Unguardable double-hit single-target nuke; excellent for bosses or tough anchors.
Passives
Heavy Guard (1 PP): Pre-emptively block an incoming physical attack helping survivability.
Wild Kick (1 PP): Triggers after an enemy guards an ally’s attack; strikes, Stuns, and applies Guard Seal. A perfect guard-punish.
Hawk Eye (2 PP): Before attacking, make the next strike True-Strike and a guaranteed critical. Pair with Heavy Slash/Omega Shatter to delete priority targets.
Valor (VP) Skill
Vital Blow (2 VP): Attacks an enemy unit and reduces its stamina by 2 (150 potency). Use to slow enemy push timings or finish a duel your unit would otherwise lose.
Best Equipment and Accessories
Weapon: Prioritize Accuracy/True-Strike or flat Phys. ATK weapons so Penetrate/Omega Shatter land cleanly (Hawk Eye already guarantees hits/crit when PP allows).
Shield: A guard-boosting greatshield to complement her A-rank Guard and Heavy Guard trigger.
Accessory #1 – Carnelian Pendant (+1 AP): Lets you run Penetrate → Heavy Slash or Hawk Eye → Heavy Slash in the same engagement more reliably.
Accessory #2 – Lapis Pendant (+1 PP): Fuels Hawk Eye and Heavy Guard usage across multiple fights.
Magic-resist piece (flex): Covers her low Mag DEF on caster-heavy maps.
Ideal Unit Placement and Team Synergy
Amalia is best as a back- or mid-line striker behind a true tank (Hoplite/Josef/Virginia) so she can line up Penetrate safely and cash in Hawk Eye crits without eating focused magic.
Units that force Guards (e.g., heavy frontliners) synergize with Wild Kick’s guard-punish.
Add a healer or sainted support to patch up magic weaknesses while Amalia demolishes anchors and columns.
Tips and Strategy
Tactic suggestions (priority order):
Penetrate → Condition: “Row with most enemies” (open with debuff + unguardable column hit).
Hawk Eye → Condition: “Before using Heavy Slash/Omega Shatter” (guaranteed crit/true-strike).
Omega Shatter / Heavy Slash → Condition: “Boss/Highest ATK target” (secure kills).
Heavy Guard → Condition: “When targeted by Physical attack” (smooth incoming damage).
Wild Kick → Condition: “After enemy Guards an ally” (stun + seal to swing the exchange).
Play notes
Don’t front-tank casters. Her E-rank Mag DEF makes mage waves her biggest threat; screen with sainted/anti-magic support.
Column cracking: Open with Penetrate to strip DEF and hit through Guard; follow with Hawk Eye → Omega Shatter for secure cleanup.
Stamina control: Use Vital Blow when an enemy push is about to overrun your line; draining 2 stamina can buy the turn you need.
Final Thoughts
Amalia brings a rare blend of raw power and guard-bypass that few units match.
Protect her from magic focus, feed her AP/PP economy, and let Penetrate + Hawk Eye set up decisive kills.
If you clear the Coliseum early, she can hard-carry through midgame; even later, she remains a premier column breaker and boss deleter when piloted with smart screens and PP management.
