Sphere Recommendations 

• A Sphere - Focus on ATK or BRV DMG, & mBRV is a good add-on. Something like Sephiroth’s sphere is great, but you can opt to give her a more offensive sphere with a higher ATK boost, like Aerith. Any of the ATK spheres work well, BRV DMG is always great. You can also opt to use Iroha sphere as it will give her around 1 or 2 good BRV hits worth of damage for the first HP ATK

• B Sphere - She can't lock, so Gabranth or Celes will be the most functional

• D Sphere - With another buff from a call/party member, she can utilize Wakka's sphere. Otherwise, any party ATK boosting sphere will do.

How to Play Notes

• TLDR: Maintain her Rose Petals debuff on enemies for her follow-up. Keep in mind that Beatrix has 3 buffs she applies on all party members throughout her kit. Only Noble Loyalty is framed, the other 2 may be pushed off.

• Saint Cloth (S1) batteries the party while applying 2 unframed, defensive buffs.

• Thunder Slash (S2, S2+ if 9+ buffs on party) applies her important Noble Loyalty buff on the party. This buff is one of the 2 conditions for her counter. If she uses her + version the damage is significantly increased.

• Climhazzard (EX, EX+ from 9-11 party buffs and EX++ at 12+) recovers 1 use of Thunder Slash and gives herself the Sworn General buff. Once again, the enhanced forms allow for much greater damage from the attack. This also allows Beatrix to use Holy Knight’s Safeguard as a transformed HP command one time. 

  • Holy Knight’s Safeguard provides a battery and heal to the party but more importantly gives Beatrix her Holy Knight’s Safeguard buff which reduces incoming HP damage by 100%. With her C85 passive this move is an instant free turn and extends her existing buffs by 1T. Be wary, this buff effectively only lasts for 1 of Beatrix’s turns and it cannot be extended. If she has her BT effect active, it won't tick down so you will remain safe while BT effect is up.

• Shock (LD) removes all buffs from the enemy, deals strong AOE damage, ignores defense, and batteries the party. This will also apply the HP Regen on the party and Rose Petals on the enemy.

  •  Rose Petals enables her to use her follow-up whenever she attacks an opponent with Rose Petals as well as being sap, a few stat drops, and imperiling Thunder. 

  • Note: Beatrix has to be on the field for the important stat drops/imperil.

• Her Follow-up/Counter removes one buff from the target followed by a defense ignoring attack and battery to the party. This attack is triggered anytime Beatrix attacks an opponent with Rose Petals on them or any opponent attacks a party member who has Noble Loyalty on them.
