Overview

Summoners War Rina Water Epikion Priest is a 3★ support monster best known for her tankiness and stall potential in PvP, particularly in Arena Defense and Siege. Once awakened, she gains a 25% Resistance bonus, boosting her survivability significantly. Her stats are well-rounded for a defensive support role, with high HP and Defense, making her difficult to kill, especially when paired with high-Resistance builds.

Her skill set focuses on sustain and utility. Her first skill, Absorb Mana, deals damage based on her ATK and Max HP and heals her for 50% of the damage dealt, allowing her to stay healthy in longer fights. Her second skill, Fill, is a team-wide cleanse and 20% heal that has a relatively short cooldown when skilled up. Rina’s passive, Mana Shield, is the core of her defensive power—it grants her a shield equal to 20% of her Max HP for two turns whenever she is hit by a critical hit. This effect makes her very difficult to burst down with crit-based nukers or bombers like Seara.

Strategy

Rina’s strategy in Summoners War revolves around her role as a self-sustaining tank and utility support, particularly effective in PvP defense setups like Arena Defense, Guild Wars, and Siege. Her primary purpose is to absorb damage, especially critical hits, while slowing down or outright stalling enemy offenses. Thanks to her Mana Shield passive, she becomes increasingly difficult to eliminate when facing crit-based attackers, as each critical hit triggers a shield that absorbs more incoming damage. Paired with her Absorb Mana skill, which heals her based on damage dealt, she can maintain her health over time without relying heavily on allies.

Her second skill, Fill, provides team-wide healing and cleansing, giving her additional value beyond personal sustain. Rina excels in comps designed to frustrate and delay the enemy, making her an ideal choice against cleave teams, bombers like Seara, or single-target nukers who rely on critical damage. While she lacks offensive pressure and isn’t suited for PvE, her presence in defense forces opponents to adapt or risk timing out. Building her with high HP, Resistance, and possibly Violent runes maximizes her effectiveness in soaking damage and disrupting enemy momentum.

Strength and Weakness

Strength:

• High survivability due to strong base HP and Defense
• Passive skill provides an automatic shield when hit by critical hits
• Self-healing through her first skill, allowing her to sustain without outside support
• Provides team-wide healing and cleansing with her second skill
• Gains 25% Resistance upon awakening, making her resistant to debuffs
• Excellent for stalling in Arena and Siege Defense, often causing timeouts
• Effective counter to crit-reliant attackers like Seara, Odin, and Feng Yan
• Easy to obtain and build as a 3★ monster, and doesn’t require Devilmons for skill-ups

Weakness:

• Low damage output and no offensive threat
• Easily countered by buff strippers and beneficial effect blockers
• Useless against teams that don’t rely on critical hits
• Passive shield does not trigger against non-crit attacks or DoTs
• Limited utility in PvE content (not viable for dungeons, raids, or ToA)
• Can be ignored or bypassed in RTA or high-level PvP
• Relies heavily on rune quality to be effective (needs high HP, Resistance, and sometimes Speed)
• Stalling potential may backfire in faster-paced metas or versus teams with sustain and strip

Synergy

Rina synergizes best with monsters that complement her tanky, sustain-heavy playstyle and help create effective stall or control comps in PvP. She pairs well with healers like Chasun or Belladeon, who can provide additional healing and crowd control to prolong fights, amplifying Rina’s durability. Units that can apply buffs or cleanse debuffs also boost her effectiveness by keeping her shield and heals active.

Additionally, Rina works great alongside bombers or crowd control champions like Belial or Theomars, who benefit from the extra time Rina buys by soaking damage and distracting opponents. Monsters that apply debuffs or provoke enemies help keep opponents focused on Rina, maximizing the value of her Mana Shield passive. Overall, her best synergies come from teams designed to stall, disrupt enemy strategies, and outlast burst damage in Arena, Guild War, and Siege battles.
