Saint Seiya Mobile Game: Why Pisces Became the Hottest Gold Saint?

Pisces Aphrodite: The Rose Warrior

In the world of Saint Seiya: Awakening, Pisces Aphrodite stands out as one of the most fascinating and powerful Gold Saints. Known as the Warrior of Beauty, he wields roses that are both enchanting and deadly. What truly sets him apart is his unique passive ability, which allows him to never waste energy while dealing devastating damage to his enemies.

Skill Breakdown

Royal Demon Rose (Basic Attack, 0 Energy)

Aphrodite strikes a single enemy, dealing 40%-60% physical damage (scaling with skill level). There’s a 90% chance to inflict a poison effect that stacks up to five times. Each stack reduces the target’s damage output by 3%-12%, and the poison lasts for two turns—refreshing each time it’s reapplied.

Piranha Rose (Single-Target Attack, 0 Energy)

This skill hits an enemy three times, with each strike dealing 5%-15% physical damage. More importantly, each hit has a 30% chance (plus effect accuracy) to reduce the target’s physical defense by 60% for two turns, making them vulnerable to follow-up attacks.

Warrior of Beauty (Passive, Seventh Sense Awakening, 0 Energy)

This is where Aphrodite truly shines. If he is the last ally to act in a turn, he will fire an additional rose at a random enemy for every point of unused energy. He prioritizes using Royal Demon Rose or Piranha Rose, but if the target is already affected by both, he will use Bloody Rose instead—a game-changing skill normally costing 4 energy.

Bloody Rose (Single-Target Attack, 4 Energy)

Bloody Rose is Aphrodite’s ultimate technique. It impales an enemy’s heart, draining their health over their next three actions—the damage scales from 70% to 240% based on skill level. If the target is already poisoned and defense-shredded by his other roses, Bloody Rose instantly deals 300%-380% lifesteal damage, making it one of the most lethal execute skills in the game.

Strategic Playstyle

Pisces Aphrodite is a classic late-game hyper carry. His naturally low speed is a trade-off for his incredible passive, which enables him to turn leftover energy into massive area damage. While he appears energy-efficient, he actually thrives in teams that generate abundant energy. By the third turn, if left unchecked, he can single-handedly wipe out entire teams.

Recommended Cosmos Setup

• Red: Physical Stone (Physical Attack & Defense)
• Yellow: Tenacity (Effect Resistance & HP)
• Blue: Stamina (Physical Critical Rate)
• Special: Giant King (60% extra damage to enemies under 40% HP)

This build maximizes his execute potential with Giant King, complementing his role as a finisher.

Ideal Team Composition

Aphrodite works best in a energy-rich, control-oriented team:

• Pisces Aphrodite (Main Damage Dealer)
• Scorpio Milo (Secondary Damage)
• Sixteen June (Support, enables extra turns)
• Dark Priest (Low-cost Control)
• Nachi (Energy Generator)
• Northern Crown Dante or Eagle Marin (Low-cost Healer)

This setup ensures Aphrodite has enough energy and protection to unleash his full potential in the late game.

How to Counter Him

Facing a Pisces Aphrodite? You have two options: take out his energy suppliers like Nachi early, or focus him down before he gets going. If he survives past round three, his damage becomes overwhelming.

Bond Effects

Aphrodite gains additional stats through bonds with other characters:

• Loyalty to the Pope (with Cancer Deathmask): Increases Physical Attack by 1%-5%
• Rose Beauty (with Ophiuchus Shaina, Eagle Marin, Chameleon June): Increases Physical Attack by 1%-5%
• Rose Path (with The Pope): Increases HP by 1%-5%

Pisces Aphrodite embodies the strategic depth and burst potential that make Saint Seiya: Awakening so engaging. Whether you’re building around him or learning to counter him, mastering his rose-based mechanics is key to dominating the battlefield.
