Puzzle & Dragons Fern Performance Deep Dive: What are her strengths? (Frieren Collab)
This video analyzes Fern, a character from the Puzzle & Dragons Frieren collaboration, ranking her skills, leader skills, awakening skills, and assist weapon from S to D. Fern is a transformation character, an experience point leader, and a 7x6 leader. She is highly rated for her skill, which can loop drop generation and attribute absorption nullification. She is useful for tackling high-difficulty dungeons because she increases the flexibility of party composition, and her value as a 1.5x rank experience leader is also high.
1. Introduction and Evaluation Criteria for Fern
- ✅ Fern is a transformation character, an experience point leader, and a 7x6 leader.
- ✅ We will evaluate her from S to D rank in four aspects: skill, leader skill, awakening skill, and assist weapon.
- ✅ If it's B rank or higher, we consider it strong.

1. Introduction and Evaluation Criteria for Fern
- ✅ Fern is a transformation character, an experience point leader, and a 7x6 leader.
- ✅ We will evaluate her from S to D rank in four aspects: skill, leader skill, awakening skill, and assist weapon.
- ✅ If it's B rank or higher, we consider it strong.
00:39 - 01:28
2. Detailed Explanation of Evaluation Method: Point Addition and Deduction System
- ✅ Since the importance of skills, awakening skills, etc. is different, we introduce a point addition/deduction system.
- ✅ We increase the accuracy of the evaluation by adjusting the final average by 0.5 steps up or down.
01:29 - 02:41
3. Skill Evaluation: S Rank - Plays a Key Role in the Party
- ✅ One unit can be the core of the party.
- ✅ Drop generation is powerful, and it stably supplies attack drops.
- ✅ It can produce sufficient firepower with one unit and also has a damage limit.
- ✅ It does not generate recovery drops, but it is specialized for attack, so its role is clear.
02:42 - 03:30
4. Key Strengths of the Skill: Attribute Absorption Loop Possible
- ✅ Attribute absorption loop is possible with one unit.
- ✅ It can be mutually complemented with Reinhard, who has a damage absorption nullification skill.
- ✅ It can solve gimmicks with one unit, increasing the freedom of party composition.
03:31 - 04:12
5. Securing Flexibility in Party Composition
- ✅ Thanks to the 7x6 leader skill, you only need to generate recovery when there is a recovery shortage.
- ✅ The remaining 5 slots can be freely configured.
- ✅ You can add a recovery generation character or focus on firepower depending on the dungeon difficulty.
04:13 - 05:21
6. Pitfalls of Recovery Loop Composition
- ⚠️ A party composition that recovers every turn may not be able to maximize Fern's skills.
- ⚠️ It can become a party that can be formed even without Fern.
- ⚠️ A composition that generates recovery every turn lowers responsiveness and reduces the need for Fern.
05:22 - 05:42
7. Ideal Party Composition Direction
- ✅ You should maximize Fern's attack drop generation.
- ✅ Add a recovery generation character to maintain a recoverable state at any time.
- ✅ Avoid recovery generation loops every turn.
05:43 - 06:55
8. Example of Incorrect Party Composition
- ⚠️ In a party that maintains a generation loop every turn, Fern's drop generation becomes unnecessary.
- ⚠️ This is because Lemok's generation skill is sufficient.
- ⚠️ Over-reliance on obstruction countermeasures makes operation fixed and weak.
06:56 - 07:31
9. Recommended Party Composition Example
- ✅ Manage recovery drops without looping recovery generation.
- ✅ Enable high-frequency generation of recovery drops.
- ✅ Add Arena and Stark to increase responsiveness.
- ✅ Stark can also destroy shields.
07:32 - 08:20
10. Party Composition Improvement: Frieren Adoption
- ✅ Replace all members with Frieren to increase the damage limit.
- ✅ You can secure enough drops even with 6 indexes instead of 3 indexes.
- ✅ Frieren, who can produce 70 billion instantaneous firepower, is better.
08:21 - 09:43
11. Considerations When Adopting Frieren
- ⚠️ Skill boosts may be insufficient, so adjustments are necessary.
- ⚠️ If it is a character that can secure the damage limit, it can be replaced.
- ⚠️ Since damage void penetration and damage absorption nullification loops are not possible, you must change the party composition depending on the dungeon.
09:44 - 10:30
12. Leader Skill Evaluation: Powerful Fixed Damage Increase
- ✅ Attack power, recovery power, and fixed damage increase each time light is erased.
- ✅ In particular, the increase in fixed damage is useful for dealing with super resolve monsters.
- ✅ Since fixed damage increases infinitely, no separate super resolve countermeasures are needed.
10:31 - 10:56
13. Value as an Experience Point Leader
- ✅ It is a 1.5x rank experience point leader.
- ✅ You can get 2.25x experience points with a friend, making it suitable for rank up.
- ✅ It is powerful that it is a strategy character and 1.5x rank experience points.
10:57 - 11:37
14. Weakness of Leader Skill: Combo Addition
- ⚠️ There is an additional 3 combo effect.
- ⚠️ It is difficult to reach 10 combos with only 2 light combos.
- ⚠️ Additional combos are required, and you must have a 5 combo addition character as a friend.
11:38 - 12:30
15. Awakening Skill Evaluation: Plain and Powerful
- ✅ There are almost no meaningless awakening skills.
- ✅ It is powerful with resonance and also has a turn delay skill.
- ✅ There is a wide range of weapon choices.
12:31 - 12:42
16. Weakness of Awakening Skill: Lack of Skill Boost
- ⚠️ There is no skill boost before transformation, so skill boosts may be insufficient depending on the party composition.
12:43 - 13:43
17. Assist Weapon Evaluation: The Power of a 4-Turn Skill
- ✅ The 4-turn skill is very powerful.
- ✅ In many cases, Fern weapons are equipped on Fern.
- ✅ You can deal burst damage for 4 turns, and shield destruction is possible with a 5-turn skill.
- ✅ It can compensate for the weaknesses of the Fern party.
- ✅ It has performance that is hard to believe for a 4-turn skill.
13:44 - 14:12
18. Increased Weapon Utilization
- ✅ There is a resonance effect with Fern, so the synergy is good.
- ✅ You can choose whether to use Fern's skill or the weapon's skill.
- ✅ The short cooldown of 4 turns is a strength.
14:13 - 14:38
19. Disadvantages of the Weapon: Acquisition Difficulty
- ⚠️ Fern is not a trade character, and the acquisition probability is low (estimated at 1.5%).
- ⚠️ It is difficult to acquire because 3 units are required to equip weapons in the Fern-Fern party.
14:39 - 15:28
20. Weapon Utilization Strategy
- ✅ It is good to equip a weapon in a Fern 1-unit formation.
- ✅ If you generate drops with another character, the weapon can be powerful.
- ✅ If Fern is adopted as an attribute absorption countermeasure, there is a high possibility that you will use the weapon's skill.
- ✅ You can collect and use shield destruction, damage limit release, etc. for 4 turns.
15:29 - 16:00
21. Final Evaluation: S Rank
- ✅ Skill: S, Leader Skill: A+, Awakening Skill: A, Weapon: A
- ✅ We add points considering the importance of skills from the average A+, and finally evaluate it as S rank.
16:01 - 17:51
22. Overall Review: Powerful Character with High Freedom
- ✅ The freedom of sub-character composition is very high.
- ✅ Unlike the Rem-Ram party, you can flexibly change the formation depending on the dungeon.
- ✅ If you try to create a recovery drop generation loop, you will be forced to add Reinhard, Lemok, etc., making it difficult to utilize Fern's strengths.
- ✅ I think the party with Frieren is the most powerful.
