Tatiana is a Cleric, a back-row healer who stabilizes lanes with reactive heals, cleanses, and a self-save. She’s ideal behind high-HP frontliners (Hoplites, Great Knights), keeping pressure up while preventing wipe scenarios. Her leader effect, Healing Assist, adds free sustain during pushes.
How to Recruit Tatiana
Complete the Cornia quest “The Tormented Helm” (north of Fort Épine Morceaux). After the fight, when Tatiana and Josef ask about the research, choose “The experiments may continue.” She joins your army; choosing to end the experiments instead gives items (e.g., Elixirs) but you won’t recruit her.
Class Overview: Cleric → Bishop (Staff / Backline Healer)
Role: Single-target and reactive healing, row cleanse, and emergency self-protection.
Leader Effect: Healing Assist (allied units in range receive healing assists during battles).
Promotion: Promotes to Bishop (keeps the healing/cleanse core and scales support).
Where she shines: Attrition maps, status-heavy lanes, and long sieges behind sturdy tanks.
Stats and Growth
- AP / PP: 1 / 1 – tight economy; script PP so key passives are always available.
- HP: D – keep her back-row and screened by a tank.
- Phys ATK / Phys DEF: F / E – not a damage dealer; vulnerable to focused arrows.
- Mag ATK / Mag DEF: C / S – healing scales with MAG; strong vs casters.
- Accuracy / Evasion: C / B – fine for support; don’t rely on dodges vs archers.
- Crit / Guard Rate: F / F – irrelevant to her role.
- Initiative: E – slower turns; lean on reactive passives to trigger at the right times.
- Growth Type: Offensive / Guardian – steady support scaling.
Skills and Abilities
Valor (Field)
- Heal (VP): Restore ~50% HP to an allied unit, great between skirmishes.
Actives / Passives
- Heal (Active, 1 AP): Single-target moderate heal, your bread-and-butter patch.
- Quick Heal (Passive, 1 PP): After an ally is hit, restore minor HP to an ally, baseline lane stabilization.
- Refresh (Passive, Lv10, 1 PP): Remove all debuffs from a row, answers poison/burn/ATK↓ spam.
- Lifesaver (Passive, Lv15, 1 PP): Self-heal and endure one lethal blow, safety vs random focus.
Best Equipment and Accessories
Staff – Cleric’s Cane: +1 PP and access to Protection (row damage-taken −50%), letting Tatiana reduce incoming damage on demand.
Armor: Robes with MAG DEF or status resist.
Accessories:
- Lapis Pendant (+1 PP): Keeps Quick Heal / Refresh / Lifesaver available every clash.
- Carnelian Pendant (+1 AP): Enables double actives in extended fights.
- Golden Egg (flex): She can safely hold econ items since her kit already carries support value.
Ideal Unit Placement & Team Synergy
Placement: Back row, center, max coverage while staying safe.
Pairs well with:
Hoplites/Great Knights: Her sustain turns their bulk into tempo; Protection halves incoming damage on their row.
Multi-hit DPS (Sellswords, Swordmasters): more hits → more Quick Heal value between trades.
Status casters on enemy teams: Refresh cleanses entire rows instantly.
Tips and Strategy
Suggested Tactic Template (priority order):
- Quick Heal (PP) → Condition: “After ally is hit; prioritize lowest HP.” (Keeps chip from snowballing.)
- Refresh (PP) → Condition: “If row is debuffed.” (Immediate mass cleanse vs poison/burn/ATK↓.)
- Lifesaver (PP) → Condition: “Before being attacked / HP ≤ 50% (self).” (Don’t get your healer sniped.)
- Heal (1 AP) → Condition: “Ally HP < 70–75%.” (Avoid overheal; preserve AP for longer clashes.)
- Valor – Heal → Field: Use before boss swings or after gauntlet skirmishes to keep momentum.
Play notes
PP discipline > spam. Let reactive passives do the heavy lifting; spend AP only when it meaningfully changes survival thresholds.
Row triage first. Status maps are where Tatiana shines, Refresh can single-handedly flip lanes.
Recruitment choice matters. Saying “continue the experiments” is the only way to add her; otherwise you just get consumables.
Final Thoughts
Tatiana is a rock-solid stabilizer for any formation: reactive heals, row cleanses, and a built-in self-save keep your carries online. Build MAG + PP/AP economy, script Quick Heal / Refresh / Lifesaver at the top, and park her behind a brick, she’ll make tough attrition fights feel trivial.
