## Hero Guide

### Summary

[The Four Archangels] Sariel of Tornado, also known as Re Sariel, was a featured unit in the Ocean and Tornado banner (January 12, 2021 - January 26, 2021), along with Blue Tarmiel.

Unlike Tarmiel, whose primary focus is providing defensive capabilities to his team, Sariel is a purely offensive unit with a degree of utility. His kit allows him to deal a lot of damage to his enemies, having a higher Crit Change when attacking, dealing extra damage based on enemies' resistance, or increasing his allies’ stats when joining battle (and his stats if he has his Holy Relic). He’s usable in all kinds of content, either as a frontline unit or as a link, thanks to his Grace which provides a lot of damage dealt.

### Pros

* Decent farming unit
* Excellent Grace association
* Deals good damage in a PVE setting
* A great option in Howlex Death Match

### Cons

* No longer usable in PVP to his max potential on the current meta
* Weak Defenses (Low Crit Resistance)
* Replaced on most optimal PVE teams

## Skill Review

**Sharp Wind** - This skill works well with Sariel’s Holy Relic, which activates when a Crit occurs. Sariel’s Crit Chance is low for today’s standards, so using this skill in tandem with his Holy Relic is essential. Good for farming.

**Tornado** - This skill is the one that will hit the hardest. Power Strike is still a powerful skill effect and will allow him to deal good damage to Hraesvelgr in Stage 1, Phase 4. It is unlikely he will Crit with this skill in more difficult events without support.

**Ultimate: Twin Wind Blade** - This Ultimate skill can still hit hard thanks to the high chance for it to Crit.

**Grace of Tornado -** This makes Sariel an excellent unit to invest in. His Grace is still one of the best associations to increase a unit’s damage by ignoring a percentage of the enemy’s Critical Defense if Sariel, or the unit he’s linked to, lands a Critical Strike.

**Unique: Angelic Volition -** Sariel’s Unique increases the stats of all his Goddess allies by a percentage of Sariel’s Basic Stats. He is not used in the Goddess team itself much anymore in light of better options, especially since his Unique doesn’t work when he’s as a Sub, but if those aren’t available, he can still be decent.

## Gear Recommendation

### Equipment Set

* Onslaught (Attack) / Congeniality (Crit Damage)

### Sub-stats

* Bracer/Ring - Attack
* Necklace/Earring - Defense
* Belt/Rune - HP

This equipment set is recommended because Sariel is meant to deal damage, and maximizing Attack and Crit Damage allows you to take advantage of the effects of his Attack skills. Alternatively, you can use Attack/Defense or HP/Defense gear if you will only use him as an association unit and nothing more.

## PVP

He’s a decent choice if no better options are available in the Goddess team. However, he still shines as a link to other units such as Light “The One” Ultimate Escanor or Dark Purgatory Meliodas since he can bestow his Grace on other units.

## PVE

Sariel is a flexible unit for all kinds of PVE content.

### Death Match

He can be a great unit in any Death Match up to Hell difficulty (except for Bellmoth), being viable even in Original Demon Death Match.

### Demonic Beast Battle

Thanks to his Power Strike skill, he can be an excellent option for Hraesvelgr. Furthermore, he also can be a valuable option for Eikthyrnir since he’s a Red unit which helps in the color wheel.

On the other hand, for Skoll and Hati he’s still usable, and Nidhoggr too .

### Fort Solgres

Sariel can help clear most floors with ease due to his significant damage.

### Knighthood Boss

Has a lot of use in almost all of the Knighthood Boss Battles, except that his gear should be changed to maximize Crit Chance.

### Tower of Trials

He can help complete many gimmicks across different floors of this content.

Overall, Red Sariel is an excellent unit, functional throughout the game. A well-rounded unit, functional as a support (when linked to another unit), and a DPS in the Goddess team either in PVE or mid and low tiers of PVP.

## Story

Sariel is one of the Four Archangels from the Goddess Clan and is a commander of Stigma alongside Ludociel and Tarmiel.  Stigma was an alliance formed between the Goddess Clan, Giant Clan, and Fairy Clan, with humans joining later on, to battle against the Demon Clan 3,000 years ago during the first Holy War.  After the Demon Clan’s seal is broken, the four Archangels (without Mael) found human vessels to inhabit and reform Stigma with the Giants, Fairies, the Seven Deadly Sins, and the Kingdom of Liones.  Due to his involvement in both Holy Wars, Sariel has Associations with Elizabeth (for fighting alongside her in both wars) and Derieri (for helping to purify her when she became an Indura in the first Holy War).  Along with the Goddess Clan, Sariel lost his physical body in order to seal the Demon Clan at the end of the first Holy War.  He ends up possessing the body of Solaseed, a young woman who is dying of an incurable disease that he cures in exchange for her letting him use her body to fight the demons.

Sariel possesses the Grace of Tornado, which allows him to control the wind (similar to Howzer’s magical ability Tempest).  He is able to produce powerful gusts of wind to slice through or blow people away or create a wind-like sphere around him that he uses for defensive purposes to shred anyone who is trying to get close to him.
