Overview
Metera is a selfish attacker, providing moderate utility with a

and a
CharmedAttacks are slightly limited
Strength: 35%Duration: 180 seconds debuff, while dealing very high damage. Her main draw is her ability to hit way over the Damage cap thanks to her
80% Bonus Fire DMGDeals bonus fire DMG for one-foe one-ally attacks
Strength: 80%. However, unlike other characters of the same kind, she has very little ability to increase her base damage or Multi Attack Rate and can only shine with a fully developed grid and proper support.
Exploiting her full potential requires to operate at, or close to, the damage cap, and consistently dealing triple attack. Because of that, Metera is usually not considered a free to play friendly character, as Omega Fire grids have a hard time achieving both of those goals.

- This usually causes her death within a few turns, as she has no defensive mechanic.
- It can be used to draw attacks away from another ally, if her own death is not a concern.
- Her Bow Specialty makes her unfit for Ultima Weapons centered team.
- It makes her hard to fit in a team centered around another Weapon Specialty as Attacker are usually characters that benefit the most from being covered by the Ultima buff.
- Bow is also an unlikely Ultima Weapon choice, as Bow Specialty characters are very rare.
- Ultima Weapons are also one of the main sources of Multi Attack Rate in Omega Fire grids, making them difficult not to use.

Due to the strength of her passive Bonus Damage, barring any restrictive type of Damage cap increase:
- It is more interesting to spend a Seal on a Normal Attack than on

. if you can consistently deal more than 875,000 damage in a turn, as the bonus damage will be more important than the skill damage (more than 700,000).
- It is as interesting to spend a Seal on Normal Attack as on Charge Attack if you can consistently triple attack with damage near the cap.
- The bonus damage effect on the C.A. is similar to a use of
Descent of the Flames550% Fire Damage to a foe (Damage cap: ~700,000).

., but the C.A. itself makes up for the difference in damage.
- While the best scenario is to use Metera's C.A. during the turn of downtime in her Seals, stalling other characters C.A. to wait for that is not recommended.
- On the other hand, stalling Metera's C.A. to wait for other characters (e.g. to Chain Burst) has no adverse effect on her damage.

to sacrifice Metera, either to draw attacks away from other character, or to make a sub ally take her place. However, this method does not guarantee that Metera will be targeted, and should not be relied upon too heavily.
Synergy
- Benefits from any and all buffer, as she needs all the damage and multi-attack rate you can give her.
- Using a strong buffer with low personal damage in combination with her, rather than a weaker buffer with better personal damage, is potentially more interesting as Metera can more than make up for the difference if she's properly supported.
- Benefit greatly from

- Alternatively, a Gauph Key αBoost to one-foe attack DMG cap can go a long way in improving Metera's damage, if she can consistently triple attack and reach the damage cap.
- Due to her Bow Specialty, Metera can be used in combination with the
Hollowsky Bow, making her indirectly synergize with all sources of Critical hit rate.
- Omega based Fire grids have easy access to high Critical hit rate thanks to
Ancient Ecke Sachs.
- At level 90,

- Metera can help quickly build
Ilsa (Summer)'s Summer Hell Drill Sergeant stacks, as her 3 skills are considered "damage skill" (identifiable by their red border).
Sutera (Event)'s passive Diligent gives her a Critical Hit rate when in the same party as Metera, making them more interesting to play together if you only have a limited number of Fire characters, but shouldn't be considered over more powerful choices.
