Sword of Convallaria Best Gloria Build Overview
Gloria is a Watcher-type character in Sword of Convallaria, and if you rerolled for her specifically, chances are pretty good that she’s going to be your main DPS carry for a very long time. She functions great as a support character who can buff your team and debuff enemies, but she’s also fantastic as a pure DPS character.
As you rank her up, you’ll also get to choose various skills for her. Do note that you can’t reset the skill tree, so you’ll need to choose wisely.
Best Skills for Gloria
Here’s our take on the best skills you should unlock for Gloria in Sword of Convallaria:
| Skill | Effect |
|---|---|
| Knightly Spirit | (Passive) Increases ATK by 20% when attacking enemies from the front. Increases DEF by 40% when being attacked from the front. |
| Longinus – Brilliance | (Support) Gloria grants all allies within 3 tiles of her ATK I and DMG Reduction II for 2 turns, and restores 1 NRG. If there is no Flag Waving aura on Gloria, the skill switches to Sword – Full Moon. |
| Counterattack | (Reaction) When hit by an active attack from the front or side, strike back if the attacker is within range, dealing 70% of Basic Attack’s DMG. The effect can be activated up to 1 time per round. |
| Counterattack Mode | (Support) Adds 20% of P.ATK to P.DEF and M.DEF, increases Strike Back DMG by 50%, gains Preempt, and increases Strike Back range by 2 tiles, lasting for 2 turns. |

As you can see, the skills I’ve prioritized here are all very geared towards building up Gloria as a strong, reliable DPS character. At the end of the day, it does come down to your play style. If you already have Beryl as your main DPS character, for instance, then you could build Gloria as a more defensive support character to help with buffs.
It’s worth pointing out that it’s also possible to grind out resources to unlock the skills that you passed over the first time, so it’s not really the end of the world if you want to switch routes later on. It’ll just require a bit more grinding on your part.
