Signature mechanic

Pets amplify every attack she makes

Ferry summons pets by landing the final hit of a charged attack, and a link attack calls all of them at once; Haunting Army then scales her damage by how many are on the field. Her aerial barrage combo keeps enemies stun-locked while the pets apply pressure. With the Phantasm's Chord sigil her pets become a debuff engine, which is where most of her real value sits.

Ferry is most effective as an offensive support character since she has a low damage cap and DPS. Her kit revolves around managing her pets, which can apply debuffs when used with the Phantasm’s Chord sigil. Using Ferry requires mastery of her skill loop to be effective.— Game8 tier assessment

Support skills (passives)

  • Friends Till the End

    Landing the final hit of a charged attack summons one of Ferry's pets. Performing a link attack summons all of her pets simultaneously.

  • Haunting Army

    Attacks deal more damage based on how many pets are on the battlefield.

How to unlock

Players may unlock Ferry by using a Crewmate Card in Siero's Knickknack Shack in a town. You obtain Crewmate Cards by progressing through the main story.

Strengths

  • 1

    Excellent stun-locking

    Aerial barrages keep enemies pinned, giving the party uninterrupted damage windows.

  • 2

    Strong offensive support

    Pet-applied debuffs raise the whole party's damage rather than just her own.

  • 3

    Flexible SBA-tank builds

    She supports genuinely different builds — the SBA tank variant is a real, community-supported option.

Weaknesses

  • 1

    Low personal damage cap

    Game8 rates her C tier specifically because her own DPS ceiling is poor.

  • 2

    Fiddly skill loop

    Pet management demands mastery of a specific rotation; played casually she contributes very little.

  • 3

    Pets need uptime

    Anything that kills or outruns your pets guts the Haunting Army scaling.

Gear

Builds by progression stage

Chaos → Chaos+ → Chaos++, then Defy Infinity

Self-Reliant Ghost. Consider the SBA-tank direction — it turns her weak damage cap into a non-issue.

Sigil loadout — Fatebreaker

A major part of the build involves using Basic , Attack , and Defense Stat-type Sigils to maximize Ferry's Master Traits that provide DMG Cap , ATK , and DEF . Additionally, new traits in Endless Ragnarok such as Fatebreaker , Celestial Lumen , and Celestial Terra all provide additional DMG Cap.

Cascade , Quick Cooldown , and Uplift are important for both Skill and SBA uptime. Greater Aegis is there to increase your HP, but make sure not to cross the 200,000 limit for Catastrophe Nova. Steel Nerves synergizes with the Stout Heart trait from your summons to provide more DEF.

Gearing priorities

  • Transcended Terminus (T.Lvl 7): Catastrophe Nova, DMG Cap, Sigil Booster, Unbound Master
  • While progressing Chaos, a transcended Defender weapon usually beats an un-transcended Terminus
  • The standard template: 5 Basic-Stat + 3 Attack + 2 Defense/Support sigils
  • Fatebreaker V+, Celestial Lumen V+ and Celestial Terra V+ in the attack slots
  • Improved Dodge+ and Steel Nerves V+ for survivability that does not cost damage
  • Summons for their traits: War Elemental, Stout Heart, Berserker Echo, Spartan Echo

Over Mastery bonuses

  • Critical Hit Rate Up
  • Skill Damage Up
  • Skill Damage Cap Up
  • Normal Attack Damage Cap Up

Prioritize Normal Attack Damage Cap Up to directly boost Ferry's Onslaught and Aerial Barrages. Critical Hit Rate Up will help you cap out your Critical Hit Rate for more consistent damage.

This distribution considers Master Level 50.

For Ferry's Master Traits, we recommend focusing on Self-Reliant Ghost to lean into her Aerial Barrage playstyle. This build yields the most DPS thanks to a lot of increased damage and DMG Cap, but can be difficult to use against mobile bosses.

For the other styles, get nodes that provide bonuses based on equipped Sigils and additional DMG Cap to maximize damage.

    Ferry's main Aerial Barrage combo starts with using skills to grant herself buffs and get Loving Trust stacks before repeatedly executing Aerial Barrages. Make sure to always weave in Onslaught between skills to maintain buff uptime.

  • Keep Enemies Stunned with Barrages

    One of Ferry's strengths is constant SBA generation through the multiple hits that Aerial Barrage provides. With this, you can keep performing Ferry's SBA and keep bosses stunned to let allies deal damage and do their own SBA.

Kit

Skills

Recommended loadout — Hinrichten and Umlauf

With all her pets active, Hinrichten can be used to grant various buffs to Ferry. Umlauf is useful mainly for Stout Heart, which is useful while Ferry is executing Onslaught and Aerial Barrages.

To maximize damage, Ferry needs to always have all of her pets active on the battlefield. Both Purge Spirits and Strafe can summon all her pets and can deal some damage.
