Oliveira is the Blood Rose Season 1 hero that most build guides either skip or treat as filler. What she has is the fourth skill that activates the full Blood Rose faction deployment bonus, and an attack-type brawler kit that delivers real damage while doing it. For accounts building toward a five-hero Blood Rose lineup, Oliveira is the formation-completion investment.
This Last Z guide covers Oliveira’s skill priority, gear setup as an attack-type brawler, and why the faction bonus she enables is worth understanding precisely at the spending levels where it matters.
The Blood Rose faction deployment bonus is the foundational multiplier that every Blood Rose account is building toward from Season 1 forward: each Blood Rose hero deployed in a formation adds five percent troop attack and five percent troop defense, and deploying all five Blood Rose heroes adds ten percent troop capacity on top. This bonus does not activate partially at partial deployment — every Blood Rose hero in the lineup adds five percent, and the full five-hero troop capacity bonus requires all five slots filled with Blood Rose.
Oliveira’s fourth skill directly states this: for every Blood Rose hero deployed, troop ATK and DEF increase by five percent, and deploying five Blood Rose heroes adds ten percent troop capacity. She is not the only hero with this fourth skill framing, but as a Season 1 Warrior Battle Pass hero she is often the hero that completes the fifth slot in a Blood Rose formation for accounts that have built Selena, Katrina, Sophia, and one of the early season heroes.
What this means practically: an account running four Blood Rose heroes and one off-faction hero in the fifth slot is receiving 20% troop attack and defense bonus from faction deployment and forfeiting both the 25% fifth-hero increment and the ten percent troop capacity bonus.
Adding Oliveira as the fifth Blood Rose hero activates both. Her combat kit supports this role — Blade Storm places a rotating blade that deals sustained AoE damage, and her attack stats (16,628 attack base) are competitive with other S-rank heroes. She fights and she enables the formation simultaneously.
The third skill is the first priority. Her third skill provides the hero attack and defense scaling that compounds with the faction deployment bonus — as more Blood Rose heroes are deployed in the formation, her stat bonuses stack multiplicatively with the faction multiplier. Get this moving at the earliest star breakpoint and sustain it across upgrades.
The first skill, Blade Storm, is the second priority. Blade Storm delivers sustained AoE damage and its damage factor scales with star levels — at one star, the duration extends; at three stars, an additional bleeding effect activates. Because Oliveira is a combat hero who runs in active formations, keeping Blade Storm upgraded is important to her contribution in both shooter stages and PvP.
The second skill is the third priority — normal attack boost that adds damage factor increments at each upgrade level. Invest in this alongside Blade Storm once the third skill is well established. The fourth skill activates the full Blood Rose faction bonus and is the last formal priority, though its value is account-structural rather than dependent on upgrade level.
Oliveira is an attack-type brawler. The gear system in Last Z for attack heroes puts the weapon slot first — Attack Percentage on affixes — followed by helmet, armor, and boots in sequence. Orange gear only. Level 20 before promoting. All five hexagons for whale accounts building Oliveira as a permanent formation member. Mythic transformation — weapon first for an attack-type hero, then helmet and armor in sequence.
Every piece of Oliveira’s gear investment pays back across every march the full Blood Rose formation sends. She is not a hero whose gear eventually becomes irrelevant — she is the fifth slot that makes the faction bonus and troop capacity bonus permanent fixtures.
Oliveira is an attack-type hero and belongs in the back row of a Blood Rose formation alongside Selena, Katrina, and Sophia. The front row belongs to defense-type heroes. Oliveira contributes from the back row.
The specific formation question Oliveira answers is which hero occupies the fifth Blood Rose slot. The permanent core of a serious Blood Rose account — Selena, Katrina, Sophia, and Bella or Licia depending on season — fills four positions. Oliveira fills the fifth. In a full five-hero Blood Rose formation, she is the hero whose presence activates the ten percent troop capacity bonus on top of the twenty-five percent cumulative troop attack and defense bonus from full faction deployment.
At the Season 3 level, the optimal Blood Rose lineup is: front row — Bella and Oliveira; back row — Selena, Licia, and Katrina or Sophia. All five Blood Rose for the full faction bonus. This is the formation that Season 1 through Season 3 investment has been building toward.
At five stars, Oliveira’s third skill bonuses expand to all troop types and her attack and defense scaling reaches its maximum. The Blade Storm active at five stars has received all damage factor increases and the bleeding effect is fully active.
For accounts where Oliveira has been the fifth Blood Rose slot since Season 1, the cumulative value of full faction deployment has been compounding with every event week, every SvS operation, every Versus Day push since she entered the lineup. That is not a marginal difference in any single engagement — it is a compounding tactical advantage across every engagement the account has participated in.
Identify which members are running incomplete Blood Rose formations. The clearest signal is members with four Blood Rose heroes and one off-faction hero in the fifth slot. They are forfeiting 5% troop attack and defense from the missing Blood Rose hero and the ten percent troop capacity bonus from full deployment. Walking them through the Oliveira investment as the formation-completion step — not a new hero build, but the final slot that activates everything else — often reframes the decision from “is she worth it” to “this is what I’ve been missing.”
Oliveira is the fifth slot, not the fifth priority. Many members understand the priority order as Selena first, then Katrina, Sophia, Bella, and Licia — and treat Oliveira as something to get to eventually. The correct framing is that Oliveira as the fifth Blood Rose hero activates the full faction bonus the moment she is deployed, regardless of star level. Getting her to one star and into the formation earns the ten percent troop capacity bonus immediately. The star and gear investment can follow in sequence, but the formation slot should be filled as early as possible.
For alliances with mixed faction members: Oliveira’s case is specific to Blood Rose. Wings of Dawn accounts have Scarlett and Nyx for their S1 faction completion slots. Guard of Order accounts have Evelyn and Sakura. The principle is the same across factions — full faction deployment requires five faction-matched heroes, and identifying which hero completes that fifth slot for each member is an alliance coordination question worth addressing systematically.

Back row. Oliveira is an attack-type hero with high attack stats and a brawler skill kit. The front row in Last Z is reserved for defense-type heroes — Bella for Blood Rose at Season 2 and above. Placing Oliveira in the front row wastes her attack stats and removes a DPS contributor from the back row where she belongs.
Because she is the Season 1 Blood Rose hero that completes the fifth slot required for full faction deployment. A Blood Rose formation running five Blood Rose heroes receives 25% total troop attack and defense bonus from faction deployment plus a 10% troop capacity bonus. Running four Blood Rose heroes and one off-faction fifth hero forfeits one 5% increment and the entire troop capacity bonus. Oliveira as the fifth Blood Rose hero activates both.
Oliveira can be unlocked through the Warrior Battle Pass or special offers that appear periodically. For accounts building Blood Rose at a serious level, the Battle Pass is the reliable path — special offers are infrequent and not a dependable acquisition strategy for accounts that need her in the formation at a specific time.
At Season 3, the standard Blood Rose five-hero lineup is Selena, Bella, Licia, Katrina, and Sophia — with Oliveira filling the fifth slot when one of the core heroes is still being built to a viable level. For accounts still building toward the full Season 3 lineup, Oliveira in the fifth slot is always preferable to an off-faction hero because she activates the full faction bonus immediately.
