The waterside Saint materializes as a Ruler class Servant during the summer event, where bereft of her staff she resorts to delivering discipline with her fists. Ruler Saint Martha is a single target Buster Servant, with a [Jojo’s Reference] Buster NP that inflicts a 1-turn defense debuff (activates before NP damage) that scales with overcharge, three Buster cards in her deck, and a built-in x1.1 Ruler damage multiplier. Against Demonic, Divine, or Undead enemies, she gains additional bonus trait damage with her third skill. She also has a self NP charge skill of up to 30%, making it easier to pull off her NP, which additionally comes with an attack boost on rare waterfront stages. Unfortunately, her performance as a damage dealer is still only mediocre, dealing neutral damage against most classes, and she often gets out-damaged by Servants with class advantage (except in select cases where one finds a Berserker or an enemy with Demonic/Divine/Undead trait[s]). In exchange for slightly suboptimal damage, she boasts some of the highest durability among SR Servants via her Ruler class and her self-heal / debuff immunity skill. Even though her health is average among 4* Servants, her health is essentially doubled for most scenarios, even among mixed class enemies (so long as there are no Avengers or Berserkers).Overall, Saint Martha’s Ruler form is one of few Ruler Servants that are mostly dedicated to dealing damage against single targets. She brings a balanced mix of offense and durability, and is self-sufficient when fielded, although she also compliments Buster teams well given her Buster-centric deck.

🟢 Strengths

Offense-oriented Ruler

Saint Martha (Ruler) is the only single target damage dealing Ruler in the entire cast. Given her Ruler class, she provides a balanced offensive answer to almost all situations and works well in mixed-class encounters (except when going up against Avengers). Additionally, the anti-Demonic/Divine/Undead skill allows her to cover a wide variety of boss encounters.

Great Durability

Her self-heal skill has a value of up to 3000 HP on a 5 turn cooldown, and has an added bonus of granting a one-time debuff immunity that lasts until consumed (and will stack if the skill is reused before the immunity is used up). Combined with her Ruler class resistance, the heal is essentially twice as effective.

🔴 Weaknesses

Lack of Evade/Invincibility

Although she survives auto-attacks from enemies very well due to her class advantage and her self-heal, and can effectively solo many enemy nodes, enemy NP turns have high enough burst damage to give her trouble. She may be best run with either a Servant or Mystic Code that can grant invincibility for these cases.

Lacks Consistent Offensive Buffs

The bonus Attack buff on her first skill only activates on stages that have water or a beach present, which is relatively rare outside of summer events. However, it should be noted that her first skill also has an NP charge that is useful even outside water/beach stages.

Outperformed by Servants with Class Advantage

As a damage dealer, given the Ruler’s neutral damage against most classes, she does not do as well in most situations when compared to a Servant with class advantage.

Saint of the Shore B+: Raising levels in this skill is best if you can completely max it out, increasing the NP charge from 20% (base) to 30% (max). NP gauge increments of 10% are most common among other Servants with NP charge skills, so the levels in between won’t quite reach the breakpoints required for it to be effective. Levels in this skill also increase the field-based Attack buff, although this effect is more situational. This skill is worth investing in, with the main caveat being levels in this skill really only pay off if the skill is maxed.

Natural Body (Sea) A: This skill provides a heal of 3000 HP at max level, which is enormous when considering she takes half damage from almost every class in the game. Leveling this will greatly increase her staying power on the field.

Jacob's Limbs B: This skill provides a sizable boost to the trait bonus damage (5% per level), and Demonic / Divine / Undead covers a wide variety of enemy types encountered. This skill is still somewhat situational, so unless you are specifically planning to use her for her trait bonus damage, this skill can be left for later.

🖼️ Craft Essence Recommendations

OVERALL: Martha (Ruler)’s primary goal is to punch things while never dying. Buster Performance Up / NP Damage Up (Stacks additively with anti-trait) / Damage Up / HP per Turn / HP Recovery Up craft essences work well with her.

  • Partake with the King / First Sunrise: Given Saint Martha's Defense Down on NP and large amount of Buster cards, hybrid Buster CEs work incredibly well. 
  • Golden Sumo: Boulder Tournament / Holy Night Supper: These give a bit of starting NP (up to 50% MLB) along with either an attack bonus or NP damage bonus, both of which boost her damage output - although they stack less nicely with her own skills. 
  • Fondant Au Chocolat: Against Divine enemies, boosting her anti-damage further is a viable option. It does stack additively with her own buff, but the sheer strength of the buff is enough to offset that. 
  • Black Grail: Provides an enormous boost to NP damage at the cost of some HP loss per turn, which Ruler Martha can offset with her self-healing skill.
  • Limited/Zero Over / Verdant Sound of Destruction: These provide a Buster performance enhancement, which will help enhance both her NP and her Buster card damage output.
  • Moon Goddess’ Bath / Maid in Halloween: These provide some HP regeneration per turn or increase the amount of healing received (affects her second skill), which increases her overall durability.

The Maiden Saint's Breather
The Maiden Saint's Breather

Profile Entries

Character Info

With an iron fist that cleaves steel. With a hardened fist that pierces dragon hide. The holy maiden holds His words in her heart, and she has never forgotten her oath... This body definitely exists for the sake of others. That aside, don't think just because it's summer I'll allow you to laze about!

Profile 1

Height/Weight: 161cm, 49kg Origin: History, New Testament Region: Europe Alignment: Lawful-Good Gender: Female Sometimes it is possible to notice her self from "those times" before receiving the holy staff. This happens more often than when she is manifested as a Rider.

Profile 2

As she loses her holy staff and holy robes when she manifests in her swimsuit, Martha has no choice but to stop any conflicts with her bare hands. It is not a brawl, it is an intervention. The Holy Maiden has been released empty-handed... the Dragon Slayer (bare handed)... don't bring up any of that stuff to her.

Profile 3

Saint of the Shore: B+ As Martha gained control of Tarasque near the bank of the Rhone River after drifting on a boat, she is deeply related with water. By being in a swimsuit, that attribute has been enhanced. Martha's attack raises once she is near water. She is on board to do anything.

Profile 4

Natural Body (Sea): A Martha without her holy robes possesses a perfect body. Pretty impressive once you get a look. This is a skill that puts that perfection on display, and it also functions as a Charm skill to others.

Profile 5

Jacob's Limbs: B An ancient fighting style passed down from Jacob, to Moses, and finally to Martha. If mastered, one can even win against an Archangel. Legend says that a saint who mastered this style would destroy the "Angel of Death" who led a legion of 12,000 angels. Martha's demeanor after releasing her Noble Phantasm's True Name is because of this skill.

Profile 6

Her appearance and words might be different, but her nature never changes. She is still the perfect holy maiden who strives to save the world and mankind. Yet, this is still a special summoning. Could it be - as she claims - the Master's test, or could it be something else?

This is embarrassing. For you to still call me that even after I've shown such a disgraceful side of me.
Thank you, for not being disillusioned with me. I'm a blessed Servant for you to have accompanied me so far.
Bond Level 1
This must be some kind of mistake.
It must be because I manifested here as an Extra Class that I'm behaving so violently.
E-Especially... while I'm fighting... Pretend you didn't see that.

I will never accept the use of violence.
No matter how violently I behave, I'm really not like...

Hmm, that swimsuit is good too...

Ah, though I was supposed to admonish myself... O Lord, it looks like you're telling me to fight.
Dislikes
There should be nothing I dislike or hate, but...
O Lord, please forgive me.
As a Servant, I am so sinful...
About the Holy Grail
Like I said, I have no interest in a fake Holy Grail!
Got it? There is only one real Holy Grail!
During an Event
Is it a festival?
Ever since I was in Bethany, I've loved festivals...
Birthday
I hear it's your birthday.
As a celebration would you like to ride Tarasque to run amok... er, a walk through the sky on Tarasque?
