Saoirse Description

Aquatic guardian spirit that resembles the Merrow of Celtic legend, with feathered wings and a fish's tail. Saoirse can warn of impending danger and sense Amrita. She has been with William since he was a child, and is both friend and family to him now - or perhaps something more. Her name is pronounced "SEER-shuh" and means "freedom" in Gaelic.

How to unlock Saoirse

• Complete mission The Blue-eyed Samurai

How to use Saoirse

• The Guardian Spirit Skill is a slow startup single hitting attack the does moderate amounts of water damage and high saturation accumulation and Ki damage. The real value comes from the status effects afterwards: a divination talisman effect and an unusually powerful Pleiades effect that triples Amrita gauge charge.
  • This is the crux of the usefulness of this guardian spirit - even if your Yokai Shift gets cut short it's entirely possible you can build it right back during the same fight, even through the cooldown timer.
