Profile Update

July 27, 2026

Queen Persephone remains one of the most reliable SS support tanks in Saint Seiya Awakening: Knights of the Zodiac, and her Rebirth reinforces what already made her a staple of the PvP meta. Rather than completely redesigning her kit, the upgrade focuses on improving her consistency while adding new utility for defensive compositions.

Persephone protects her allies by redirecting a large portion of incoming burst damage to herself, allowing fragile carries to survive attacks that would normally eliminate them. At the same time, her Seed mechanic continuously records damage dealt to enemies before detonating it through Harvest, creating steady pressure over the course of long battles. Combined with her passive that permanently reduces enemy maximum HP while increasing her own, she naturally becomes harder to eliminate as the match progresses.

The biggest improvement from her Rebirth comes from automatic Seeds. At the start of every round, Persephone now places Seeds without spending actions, and they can also target allied units. These allied Seeds increase maximum HP by up to 25%, making them particularly valuable for heroes whose damage or utility scales with health, such as Divine Taurus, Divine Mu, Asgard, and Alone. In addition, Persephone no longer absorbs all redirected damage herself, as part of that excess damage is transferred to enemy Seeds instead, improving both her survivability and offensive contribution.

Despite these upgrades, Persephone is not invincible. True Damage remains her greatest weakness, and powerful burst units like Shura or Alone can overwhelm her despite her impressive durability. She also performs best inside defensive, sustain-oriented teams rather than aggressive lineups.

Overall, Queen Persephone’s is really solid Tank. Before her Awakened Cloth she was already a top-tier tank, and the added automatic Seeds and HP support make her even more valuable for teams built around survivability. If you enjoy slow, control-focused battles, she continues to be one of the safest investments in the game.

+ Pros

Exceptional tank that redirects burst damage away from allies.
Automatic Seeds every round increase consistency.
Allied Seeds grant up to **25% bonus maximum HP**.
Excellent synergy with HP-scaling heroes.
Permanently reduces enemy maximum HP over time.
Remains one of the strongest defensive PvP supports.

− Cons

Still highly vulnerable to True Damage.
Can be overwhelmed by massive burst damage.
Requires high skill investment to maximize her Seed mechanics.
Fits defensive teams much better than aggressive compositions.
Awakened Cloth Rebirth improves her kit but does not fundamentally change her playstyle.

Once the seed is sown in said Saint's body, it will record the total damage they take from then on (the maximum damage recorded will be 50% of Persephone's Max HP). The seed cannot be purified. Its effect will last for as long as the battle goes on. Underworld Seed: A sprouting parasitic seed from the Underworld. After the affected enemy Saint makes their move, they will receive 1 instance of true damage equal to the total damage recorded by the seed.

Harvest Song

Lv1Lv2Lv3Lv4Lv5

Persephone swings her sickle to deal damage equal to 100% C.ATK plus 4% of her Max HP to all enemies. As she starts singing the harvest song of the Underworld, all Underworld Seeds inside the enemy Saints' bodies have a 60% chance of sprouting and dealing damage once. Sprouted Underworld Seeds cannot be purified.

Skill 3

Rejuvenation - Awakening

Lv1Lv2Lv3Lv4Lv5

When Queen Persephone is deployed, all allies' single-damage taken will not exceed 40% of their Max HP. Any damage beyond this is borne by Persephone (90%) and recorded by Earth Seed (10%). Each time Persephone takes damage, generates 1 stack of Shield equal to 5% of Persephone's initial HP (this Shield lasts 1 turn and can only be triggered 3 times per round.) At the start of each round, Persephone sows a seed to a random Saint on the field (excluding herself). If the target is an enemy, the seed is [Earth Seed]. If an ally, it's a [Life Seed], which permanently increases that Saint's Max HP by 8%.

Skill 4

Life Reaper

Lv1Lv2Lv3Lv4Lv5

When Persephone is present, all enemy Saints will lose 6% of their Max HP at the end of every round. (Each Saint will lose no more than 15% of Persephone's initial HP in total. Once the maximum loss is exceeded, the enemy units shall stop losing Max HP, but their lost Max HP cannot be restored through Revival or Deprivation.) The lost HP is then converted and added to Persephone's Max HP (the increase will not exceed 90% of her initial Max HP) till the battle ends.
