At what ? Because I don't see anyone in Water that would speed up FB as much as Saraswati. 30% DA, 20% TA and +25 BG for self and one party member is no joke. I am pretty much always using party of Herc/Saraswati/Shiva/Atalanta/Triton and difference between this and my light team with literally everyone being slowpoke is huge. And no, till now I didn't even once thought about replacing Saraswati with Belphy in this team.

If you have three fast Hime in a team (with Saraswati being one of them), then Saraswati can bring the last one up to speed. But how many fast Water Hime do we have? Well... ... none?
Her buffs are powerful, that's why they're limited to her and one other party member. Still that's enough to bring faster FB from garbage level to something actually doable.

That's one of her good things though, 50% fire res with 3/6 uptime ? In some niche uses it's really powerful, in others it makes Saraswati (and one party member) less prone to dying (heal helps here too).

I'm not gonna try and convice you she's good or anything, but putting her in a trash bin... well, you are free to do whatever you want. I find her to be really decent (without Vohu or Osiris), you seem to have a little less 'positive' experiences with her.

That's her primary use though: to make team faster (not only catch up, combo rate buff is strong). Aside from that you have 50% fire res and some heal, but that's not really why you use her (it obviously helps).


P.S. Also, her character design is masterpiece. Including musical instrument, swan and peacock are really nice touches.
