PROS & CONS

Very high base attack

Passive grants her special power up buff

Can cleave very well

Decent fodder farmer

Low base defense

Requires defense break to land for big damage

Very stat hungry, especially if you want her to be a bruiser

OVERVIEW

Verbena (Pyrope-Knight) is a 4 stars Assault character in Artery Gear.

Verbena is the AoE defense break specialist. She is one of the few units that get a special buff. Upon gaining 5 energy, she gets her own buff called Super Strength, which gives her 15% ATK and 25% Accuracy bonus.

While in Super Strength mode, using any attacks activates Triumphant Swipe, which is an additional AoE attack. Since both her skill 1 and 3 can defense break, she will literally kill some units with a high offense build, especially trash mobs. This also makes her a decent fodder farmer as well. She shines when she lands all those defense breaks and your team can wreck havoc with tonnes of damage.

However, she does rely a bit too much on activating Super Strength, which allows her to get a higher chance to land defense break on skill 3. Without the buff, she is significantly weaker as she does not follow up with another AoE attack from her passive.
