“Seriously, what does a human want a serpent like me to do? I’m a demon who only moves as I desire. Do not expect to be able to tame me, okay ?”

The legendary dragon asura of Indian Mythology and embodiment of obstacle - Vritra is an offensive AoE Arts-centric Lancer that sweeps away her enemies with repeated assaults. Despite being in a class niche that is spoiled for choices, Vritra still manages to carve out a spot of her own with a well-balanced skill set for a wide spectrum of content. 

Vritra’s gameplay identity starts with her Noble Phantasm - Asurasreshta. At first glance, it is a rather unassuming AoE Arts Noble Phantasm with three utility-based debuffs and middle of the road hit counts. However, when combined with other components from her skills, it becomes a highly loopable Noble Phantasm with good damage.  Piercing Vajra  - Vritra’s first skill is the first piece of that puzzle, granting her a must needed three turn Arts cards effectiveness booster, with an Arts Card Star Gather Rate as an icing on the cake. Further amplifying her NP looping capacity, Sworn Enemy of Gods provides her a sizable NP Gauge and a bonus damage against Divine enemies - a faithful representation of her rivalry with Indra. Finally, Indestructible Demon functions as both her additional NP Battery in the form of Gauge charge per turn and her main survivability in the form of Guts. 

When assessed as a whole, it is obvious what Vritra can do - consistent NP looping. With two batteries and great baseline stats boosted by her skills, Vritra fits seamlessly in most Arts-centric teams. And this dangerous dragon lady does not just perform for farming, but she is quite capable of leading the line in tougher battles thanks to a combination of utility effects, an anti-Divine niche, and survivability. 

On the other hand, it does not come without drawbacks. While Vritra does not have any crippling weaknesses, her flaws are notable. First, Vritra’s damage is only on a passable level for farming. While she will not have trouble clearing standard waves when in the company of prominent Arts support like Altria Caster, she will find it exceedingly difficult to get through high HP benchmarks that will get increasingly common in future events. Furthermore, AoE Arts Lancers have been a traditionally crowded niche, with powerhouses like Mysterious Alter Ego Lambda or Fionn competing in terms of better availability and ease of getting high NP levels. 

Overall, Vritra is a welcome addition to the permanent SSR roster and can hold her own in a myriad of content. While she will not blow anything away like her mythical status entails, she will not disappoint any Chaldea Masters when called upon and played to her strength.

🟢 Strengths

Fantastic NP Refund 

While her Noble Phantasm only possesses a moderate 3 hits with a middling 0.55x base NP Generation, Vritra is more than capable of firing Asurasreshta multiple times in quick succession in Arts-centric setup, thanks to her abundance of NP Batteries and Arts buff. This high level of consistency makes her a reliable choice for wave-clearing. 

Decent Amount of Utilities for Difficult Content

Vritra possesses several notable effects in her Noble Phantasm that while might not come up as often would be very valuable in challenging missions, which are Skill Seal, Critical Rate Reduction and Arts Resistance Down. Thanks to her easy time accessing her Noble Phantasm and a Guts to bolster her survivability, these will be applied frequently over the course of long battles. 

Anti-Divine Niche

The Archer and Berserker roster possess many notable Divine heroes, which are perfect prey for Vritra to showcase her might and rebellious nature against heaven. While the damage bonus amount may be lesser compared to other Anti-Divine specialists such as Scathach or Karna, it is still a notable 3 turn boost that applies to the entire party, making her a premium pick for any mission that involves beating up Demigods.

🔴 Weaknesses

Struggle To Reach High Damage Threshold

Most of Vritra’s steroids don't have particularly outstanding value, plus the lack of NP Interlude to raise the base of her Noble Phantasm damage means she might have trouble punching through waves with any high HP enemies. 

Abundance of Alternatives

Unfortunately for Vritra, she does not occupy a very rare niche. Fionn mac Cumhaill, Mysterious Alter-Ego Lambda, Utsumi Erice and Sakamoto Ryouma (Lancer) are all very viable Servants who can also serve as the designated AoE Arts Lancer for most roster. Being a 5 star, Vritra also has trouble getting a higher NP level compared to Fionn or Lambda, so she might not even be the best option damage wise when Master gets her.

Level Up Skill Recommendations

MedSkillIcon
Piercing Vajra A
Increase own Arts Card effectiveness (3 turns). Increase own Arts Card Star Gather Rate (1 turn).
HighSkillIcon
Sworn Enemy of Gods A
Apply Special ATK [Divine] to all allies (3 turns). Increase own NP Gauge.
MedSkillIcon
Indestructible Demon EX
Apply Guts to self (1 time, 5 turns). Increase own NP Gauge each turn (5 turns). Increase NP Strength for all allies (1 time, 5 turns).

All of Vritra’s skills are all necessary for her NP looping shenanigan, but none of them are overwhelmingly better than the other, making her a rather peculiar case in terms of Skill Leveling. In general, it is best to get all of her skills to a reasonable level at first (6) to get her gameplan going reasonably, and slowly maxing them over time. 

  • Piercing Vajra A – This skill is the standard card booster for 3 turns with a 1 turn Arts card Star Gathering buff which rarely comes up due to the short duration. As with most steroid skills, it is never wrong to invest some materials into this skill to sufficient level.
  • Sworn Enemy of Gods A – The main appeal of this skill is the NP Battery, but the partywide anti-Divine buff can be quite valuable in certain setups. If there is a skill within the 3 that should be maxed first, it’s probably this skill as flat NP Battery is the most flexible effect to utilize. 
  • Indestructible Demon EX – All three effects of this skill are great, but its main problem is the high cooldown. The values that matter most from leveling are both the lowered cooldown and the NP battery per turn which helps immensely in looping. 

🖼️ Craft Essence Recommendations

Vritra is quite simple in terms of choosing Craft Essences. Starting NP Gauge is easily the most flexible option she can run as it gives more room for Support Servant customization. The other CEs she enjoys either boost her Damage or NP Refund, namely Arts Card Effectiveness, NP Generation, NP Damage or Attack. For stats, she will almost always prefer a Craft Essence that gives flat Attack as it may help her reach a certain damage number to loop harder nodes. 

  • Ocean Flyer / Dive To Blue: These Craft Essences are tailor-made for Vritra. All three of the stats they give are absolutely essential and massively improve Vritra’s consistency and damage. Their availability as farmable Craft Essences from past Events also make them easy choices for most Masters. 
  • Black Grail / Heaven’s Feel: For boosting any waveclearer’s damage, there is no other Craft Essence better than Black Grail. As Masters may find Vritra’s Damage lacking occasionally, Black Grail is the best solution. Heaven’s Feel works as a decent alternative.
  • Royal Icing / Spring Chord / Mark on a Smiling Face  / Golden Sumo: Boulder Tournament: These are great Craft Essences that provide several relevant stats to Vritra that boost both her NP looping capacity as well as general purpose.

Character Info

The serpent demon god or the evil dragon mentioned in a number of Indian texts, such as the "Rigveda" and "Mahabharata." Its name means "obstacle," and it is believed to have the power to obstruct the flow of water to cause droughts. Indra was said to have defeated Vritra to put an end to the droughts it caused. Vritra is consistently depicted as Indra's enemy, and the conflict between these two is often referenced in myth. Indra's other name, Vritrahan, literally means "slayer of Vritra."

Profile 1

Height/Weight: 169cm, 55kg Origin: Indian Mythology Region: India Alignment: Neutral-Evil Gender: Female She brought over the Vajra that was shot into her mouth.

Profile 2

Vritra, the dragon of confined boundaries. She is a Divine Spirit and dragon who is the very personification of obstruction. She is an obstacle to the whole of the world. As a Servant, all of this is shrunk down to human size upon her manifestation. She is often described as an evil god who causes droughts, but at times she is also interpreted as a winter giant. The idea is that Vritra is the personification of harsh winters when water is scarce, or dammed up. In opposition to this, Indra, the god of thunder, is the personification of the blessing of rain that relieves the suffering of droughts and winter.

Profile 3

Vritra being summoned in female form is something of a mystery. Perhaps she's imitating Rambha, a prominent beauty who was sent by Indra as a part of his scheme to entrance Vritra to the point of death, or perhaps she chose to become a beautiful woman to make a statement about never falling for Indra's cowardly schemes. She transcends notions of gender, and her essential traits and persona remain the same regardless of how she presents in this respect. The Servant Vritra's feminine characteristics are, accordingly, based on those of the period in which she manifests.

Profile 4

Sworn Enemy of Gods: A While being mentioned in numerous legends, Vritra's role has always been the same: she fights the gods. This skill reflects her unchanging position and reason for being. Indestructible Demon: EX Even if she is defeated by Indra, Vritra will resurrect after some time, and her battle against the gods will resume. This is a skill which reflects that eternal cycle. It is a perpetual repetition likened to a natural phenomenon. The confrontation between Vritra, who dams up water by bringing about droughts or trapping water in clouds and mountains, and Indra, who unleashes that water with thunderstorms, is not a singular conflict with a definitive ending. It has been repeated since ancient times, and it will probably repeat infinitely into the future. In a way, it is the primordial belief in nature and gods. Vritra reigns as an indestructible demon endowed with the same intensity people have for revering nature and worshiping the gods.

Profile 5

[Asurasreshta] Rank: EX NP Type: Anti-World Range: 9 - 99 Maximum Targets: 1000 O Evil, Block All Heavens and the Earth. A Noble Phantasm that refers to Vritra's other name, "the greatest among the Asuras." She uses an army of demons which are either her kin or her own alter egos, and covers the heavens and earth, exactly as her reason for existence dictates. According to legend, Vritra used her own body to dam water up in the mountains. The mountains can be interpreted as clouds, and so this Noble Phantasm is like an ominous cloud that blankets and then crashes down onto the world. In addition to being an evil dragon, Vritra is also described as an Asura (demon), and is also called Asurendra (king of the Asuras). In the "Mahabharata," an army of malevolent demigods like Kalakeyas and Rakshasas led by Vritra were described as having tormented Indra and the gods, and so she not only has the authority to dam things up, but also wields control over purely violent armies.

Ascension 1
Hm, so this is Ascension... It feels a lot like molting.
Well, it's not a bad feeling.
Ascension 2
Caring about one's looks is such a human thing to do. Appearance is a trifling thing in the eyes of gods or even demons.
So don't give me that look of both joy and sorrow.
Ascension 3
Fine. Since I'm full, I suppose I should change into a form that's better suited to battle.
Don't get used to this, okay?
Ascension 4
Good grief. They call me an evil dragon... I can't believe you managed to raise me up to this point.
Do you want to be destroyed, Master?
No, I know. You just...believe. Though I'm not sure of what or who you believe in...
What I do know for sure is that the moment that belief is shattered, humanity will be consumed by evil.
If you don't want to live with regret, you should give everything you have to floundering about! Kihehehe!
Bond Level 1
Never mind the fact that I'm here.
I'm just wondering why I need to work for you.
Bond Level 2
Even if you ask me whether I'm a serpent or dragon, I couldn't tell you.
Those are just labels humans created.
Bond Level 3
You might have realized this already, but this is Indra's Vajra.
Do you know how he wedged this into my mouth?
Bond Level 4
Hmmm...despite you making me work unnecessarily, watching you humans go about your everyday tasks isn't so...
...At least I'm starting to think so.
Bond Level 5
Ki...hee...hee!
I'm starting to take a liking to your dirty tricks to try using a being like me.
And now I'm going to have front-row seats to this show.
Though I suppose I can lend you a hand if things get really hairy...
Don't waste my powers, okay, Master?
Conversation 1
What are you doing in this cave of yours?
Come on, take me out somewhere that would amuse me.
Conversation 2
If a herd's commander dies, it's just a matter of someone else taking its place. But if that's not the case, and if everything comes to an end when you die...
Hm. I must say that the herd here is quite depraved.
Conversation 3
It's not that I'm vowing loyalty to you. I'm just going to enjoy watching how things are going to go down.
Don't get the wrong idea, okay?
Conversation 4 (Karna, Karna (Santa))
You, the one whose armor was taken from Indra.
I know very well he's the sort of god to come up with a scheme like that.
What? You don't have any grudges against him?
Ki...hee...hee... Is that so?
Conversation 5 (Arjuna, Arjuna (Alter))
What? Even the child of Indra is here?
I must say...well, this has gotten interesting...
Conversation 6 (Medusa, Gorgon)
A serpent from the west who is both a god and demon...
Hm. I have to say I do feel a certain kinship with her.
Though I don't turn humans into stone or dissolve them before I devour them.
Conversation 7 (Nero, Nero (Bride), Nero (Caster), Elisabeth, Elisabeth (Halloween), Elisabeth (Brave))
They appear to be confident in their singing.
If I have the opportunity, I wouldn't mind hearing them sing.
Conversation 8 (Saint Martha, Quetzalcoatl)
Hrm...those folks over there seem to boast that they can "ride on dragons if they felt like it."
I like to make humans into playthings, but I do not appreciate the reverse.
Keep them away from me.
Likes
To be honest, I do enjoy watching those funny acts you humans do, like singing and dancing.
There's a few around here who're are good at those things, no? Good, bring them to me.
Dislikes 1
What I dislike.
Hmmm, I don't drink. Makes me drowsy.
Dislikes 2
No, no, no! I don't want to get all sudsy!
...Now hold on, don't get the wrong idea.
I just don't like bathing the way you humans do... P-plus I don't smell! I'll have you know I get in the water to splash myself every day!
About the Holy Grail
A Holy Grail, huh? Well, I don't mind anything that could fill my belly.
During an Event
I hear a big commotion. Is it one of those festival things?
Hrm. I'm feeling a bit festive myself, actually.
Birthday
A birthday...? Must be a custom practiced among creatures who only have short lifespans.
As a demon who can resurrect even after death, I don't see the point.
Summon
I am Vritra.
Honestly, what does a mere human like you intend to do with a serpent like me?
I am a demon who only acts on my own desires. You better not think you can tame me.

The Glorious Path to Santa Claus - The Sealed Christmas Present 2
Well, I don't intend to get in your way. Do as you please.
I'll just watch for my amusement.

If you collect the items in this pace, you're going to run out real quick.
Well, that's not my concern.

Though I don't mind that greedy mentality of yours.
Come on, scurry! Scurry more!
The Glorious Path to Santa Claus - The Sealed Christmas Present 8
(Yawn) (Mumble, mumble)
I'm getting sleepy after all this.
Even if it isn't springtime, I'll wake up when I feel like it, so you should collect all the items and train while you have the time.
For now, I'm going to sleep.
(Zzzzzz...)
