Yeah, broken abilities or no Kerria is still one of the best Knights, possibly THE best Knight, when it comes to dealing damage to a single target. Sakura, Alpinia and Mei Plumblossom deal comparable damage when their skill procs but Alpinia is the only one of the three who shares Kerria's ability to regain HP based on the damage dealt.

When it's purely single target we're talking, then there's actually another girl able to outdamage Kerria.
Anemone.

Anemone.

I haven't maxed out Anemone yet, but she's not even close to the damage my Kerria was dealing pre-bloom, and since the bloom the gap is more visible.

Anemone.

Yeah, she's on my want list, but I need a 6* counter girl to bloom that brings the skill multiplier to get her on the field.

Seems that Nutaku is partial to evade right now for some reason and my blind guess for the next 6* bloom is Ionocidium.

It's fairly easy to miss it, but, when there's only 1 target, Anemone's skill will deal 1.8 * 3 + 0.5 = 5.9 times damage to that target.

I forgot all about Anemone, which is weird because I remembered other Knights with multihit attacks like Madonna and Kale when I was trying to figure out who hits the hardest. So it's currently Anemone, Kerria and Alpinia in the top three, right?

Don't just look at skills, because of Atk stats and Atk buffs Kerria is WAY ahead of anyone else both with and without her unique +damage based on hp buff.

Top 3 for single target skill damage are Kerria, Sakura, Anemone then Mei Plumblossom and Flowering Peach.

However.... Dusty Miller and Jersey Cudweed both have skills listed like Anemone... if they can hit the same target 3 times then they are stronger than Kerria without her HP skill, Jersey 1st then Dusty.

The real question though shouldn't be damage on a hit-by-hit basis, but on the overall output. I just can't see Kerria losing to Anemone, DM or JC; sure the multi-hits and counters add up, but Kerria's ability to survive lets her do ridiculous amounts of total damage. I've seen multiple times this event where she would be the last one standing and end up dishing out 7M damage on her own on the L90 boss (not the Cauldron Spider though). For RB events with round limits, the others would probably perform better in the short term, but otherwise I'd take Kerria.

Just to play the Mei advocate again - once bloomed (under the DMM patch) Mei s Active skill multiplier skyrockets and becomes the highest of any girl.

In addition to Kerria, another recommended 5* character.
