Jericho is one of the best DPS characters in Seven Deadly Sins: Origin. She provides consistent Bursts thanks to her extremely fast attacks and can provide utility as a support thanks to her Lance. She is a major asset to any team comp in the game, and if you want to get the most out of her, this is your guide.
Best Team for Jericho
Sub-DPS Team
|
Role |
Character |
|---|---|
|
DPS |
Dual Swords Meliodas |
|
Sub-DPS |
Dual Swords Jericho |
|
Support 1 |
Longsword/Dualsword Mannie |
|
Support 2 |
Cudgel Diane |
How it works: When using this team, you start with Jericho and activate her Frozen Sabre and Ice Twin Dance while attacking the enemy from behind. You then switch to Mannie and use her Ultimate, which stacks debuffs on the enemy. Finally, you switch to Meliodas and finish the enemy while the Burst is active. While Jericho is not the main DPS here, she is the best support-DPS for Meliodas, and none even come close to her Burst Gauge charging capacity.
F2P/Solo Carry Team

Role |

|---|---|
|
DPS |
Dual Sword Jericho |
|
Sub-DPS |
Longsword/Dual Swords Mannie |
|
Support 1 |
Longsword Hendrickson |
|
Support 2 |
Wand Tioreh |
How it works: Compared to the first, this team mainly uses Jericho as the main DPS rather than the setup. All you need to do is use Frozen Sabre and Ice Twin Dance while attacking from behind to fill the enemy's burst gauge quickly. Switch to Mannie for her Ultimate while Jericho’s abilities are on cooldown. Switch back to her for another DPS phase, rinse and repeat. The other 2 characters can really be anyone; Hendrickson provides the team with Healing Efficiency, and Tioreh provides the Healing. Overall, a well-rounded team using Jericho as the main DPS.
Best Loadout for Jericho
Dual Swords - Best Overall
|
Pros |
Cons |
|---|---|
|
|
By far her best weapon is the Dual Swords, thanks to her skill Frozen Sabre. By activating her skill, she can quickly fill up her Burst Gauge and cause massive damage to enemies in a short amount of time. Once Frozen Sabre is active, all you really need to do is spam Basic Attacks and watch as the Burst Gauge fills up in no time.
The only real downside to using her Dual Swords is her lackluster damage while Frozen Sabre is on CD. Her damage drops off significantly, and her Attack Skill is also underwhelming in comparison to other DPS characters.
Because of her ability to quickly charge Burst Gauges, she is a great setup for team combos. This loadout essentially gives her unparalleled damage potential, allowing her to deal massive damage on her own.
Lance - Best for Support
|
Pros |
Cons |
|---|---|
|
|
If you are looking for a support build, her Lance build fits that role. While using her Lance, she can provide valuable Shields and Elemental Resistances to the team — her Ultimate Move: Ice Field, which can freeze enemies and even freeze some bosses. Jericho, with her Lance loadout, is great for emergency swaps, mainly because of the added resistances. Aside from providing some defence to the team, using her Lance just isn't worth it compared to her DS.
Rapier
|
Pros |
Cons |
|---|---|
|
|
Compared to her other weapon choices, the Rapier does not really stand out. It requires significant setup, unlike her other weapons, which allow her to be self-sufficient. For the Rapier to be effective, the target must be afflicted with Frozen or Chilled. However, it is easier said than done since Jericho does not have any inherent ability that can cause enemies to receive the status effects. Jericho is the only other option for Cold damage, and Mannie, while a great support, can't really set up for Jericho to deal massive damage.
Best Gear Set and Armor
Gear Set: Black Flame Wings | Costume: Holy Knight with the Star Shaped Visor
The Black Flame Wings weapons are the best weapons for Jericho primarily because of the bonus crit damage. The added crit damage, especially on Dual Swords, turns Jericho into a demon-blending DPS nightmare. Her extremely fast attack speed, paired with crit, can turn bosses to mist in mere seconds.
To take her even a step higher and bring her damage to eye-watering levels, it's essential to equip her Holy Knight with the Star Shaped Visor armor set. Using this armor set puts her on par with Meliodas because of how fast she can fill Burst Gauges. It gives the passive Ice Sculptor: Each Back Attack increases the Burst Gauge by 20 and decreases Cold Burst Resistance by 2% for 10 sec. (Max: 20%). Essentially, every time you damage an enemy from the back, you give them a resistance debuff to Cold, and your Burst Gauge fills up even faster.
