Saren (Summer) strong points
Saren (Summer) can recover TP for all allies with a skill at the start of a battle. The amount of recovery is 345, which is a large number that can be given to the whole and can be used as a support role in arenas where initial speed is likely to be important.
Summer Saren’s skills and UB buffs can raise the offensive stats of both physical and magical characters. Versatility as a supporter is high because it can be organized regardless of physical or magic.
Saren (Summer) greatly increases physical attack power and magic attack power with UB, and also greatly increases action speed. Both the attack buff and action speed buff have a large effect and are excellent.
The buff effect time is about 3 actions, and it seems a little unsatisfactory as a UB buff effect, but the effect of increasing the action speed is excellent.
Summer Saren is placed in the back of the middle guard. Therefore, it can be said that it is a character that is difficult to get involved in area attacks and is easy to provide solid support.
Saren (Summer) weak points
The TP recovery skill only activates once per battle. Since it can only speed up the initial activation of allied UB, it can be said that it is unsuitable as a TP recovery role in a long-term battle.
Summer Saren’s TP recovery takes a little time to be granted to allies. Be aware that depending on your own and enemy’s character placement, the enemy’s action restriction skill may crush the TP grant.
Be careful with characters that use opening stuns such as Kasumi (Magical) and Inori, and 2nd blockers such as Tsumugi and Yuki.
The skill “Summer Bright Force” can strengthen both physical and magic, but the amount of effect is modest. It has a high frequency of once in 3 actions, and although it can buff allies all the time, it cannot be greatly strengthened because the buff effect does not overlap.
Summer Saren’s EX skill is to increase your own physical attack power. Summer Saren has no means of damaging the enemy other than normal attacks, so there is little benefit from stepping up the EX skill.

Here we mention the recommendation for upgrading and levelling the character so that it is optimized for gameplay.

R9 and R14 are both required in Clan Battles. R9 for the fastest possible first UB and most suicide strats, R14 for quicker UB cycles and survivability. Should stay at 3★ until the Star-down feature unlocks in the game. Don’t read her Bond Stories for min-max. In PvP doesn’t target over Yukari.
