Hullo! (^^)/

So, stuck on Seria's Phase 3, huh? Let's break things down a bit.

-

The main problems in Phase 3 are as follows:

A) Malef's ailment inflictions and BC drains;

B) Phoenix's barriers, Damage Reflects, HC fills, and Angel Idol procs; and

C) Seria's DoT, stat debuffs, and general high damage output.

-

A) can be solved by just packing an ailment cleanser or nuller. For this purpose, Kanon would do perfectly - ailment null and cleanse on his BB and an ailment cleanse on his SBB. You could also unlock Fina (Omni)'s ailment cleanse and/or her ailment null via SP options. Finally, you could stick with Kurewa & Kuraginn and just get their ailment cleanse SP.

B) is a bit tougher to deal with, since save for the barriers which are taken down after enough damage is dealt, the rest cannot be dealt with through orthodox methods. The best thing you can do is to combat the heavy damage reflects through using a non-attacking BB/SBB.FIna (Omni) would do amazingly, as her BB not only can burst heal and provide some sort of mitigation through a barrier, but it also doesn't attack, meaning that it doesn't get countered by the damage reflect. The idea for this is that, after using all of your unit's BBs/SBBs, you activate her BB so that they all reach full health.

For C), basic HoT and HC fill can combat the DoT, and you can protect yourself from stat debuffs as well. This can be done through a Nagid + Gabriela combo - just make sure to use Gabriela's BB often. I will say though: stat debuffs, while annoying, aren't exactly imperative to deal with.

As for dealing with her damage output, it's important to note that in Phase 3, Seria no longer does her UBB punishment move - meaning you can use UBBs freely. Aside from which, during her idles, she no longer grants herself total damage reduction. As such, the best way to deal with the damage output would be to use a total damage reduction UBB which is easy to fill. In this case, Shion is the way to go - his OD gauge fillrate boost stacks with his BB/SBB OD-related buffs, meaning you could effectively keep his UBB buffs up every turn. Aside from which, it gives 100% mitigation for three turns.

A possible squad setup would be as follows:

Regil (L)

Shion

Fina

Nagid

Kanon OR Gabriela

I hope this helped! (^^)/
