|

|
Cooldown Count = 3 Boosts damage dealt by 50% of unit’s Def. |
|

◯ = Stat gains +4 with a superboon, ✕= Stat goes down by -4 with a superbane, - = No assets or flaws
| See the IV Checker for All Units | Trait Fruits—How to Change IVs |
When using an Ascendant Floret, we recommend getting the next superboon if it fits the hero. If not, consider what stat your hero needs most.
Idunn's best IVs are +Res and -Spd. With a super boon in Res, an asset in this stat gives Idunn +4 Res, making her an incredible magic wall. As a bane, HP or Spd are ideal. A Spd bane will increase the follow-up attacks she receives, but speed up her special cooldown quicker.
| HOT | |
|---|---|
|
|
|
This build uses Near Save to protect Idunn's allies from melee attacks. Dragon Wall is used to reduce incoming damage, while Quick Riposte provides a guaranteed follow-up attack.
|
|
|
This build revolves around inheriting Distant Counter so Idunn can counterattack from any range. With Bold Fighter in the B slot, Idunn can get guaranteed follow-up attacks when initiating combat, and through Quick Riposte, when the foe initiates combat as well. In the C slot, we chose Armor March to raise her mobility.
| Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type) | |
|---|---|
| SP: 400 | |
| Might: 16 Range: 1 HP: 3 Grants Def+3. Effective against armored foes. If foe initiates combat, if a negative status effect is active on unit at start of combat, or if unit's HP < 100% at start of combat, neutralizes penalties on unit and grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 during combat. If foe's Range = 2, calculates damage using the lower of foe's Def or Res. If foe initiates combat or if foe's HP ≥ 75% at start of combat, grants Atk+5 to unit, inflicts Atk-5 on foe, and also, if foe can make a follow-up attack, reduces damage from foe's first attack by 70% during combat. |
|
Refined Demonic Breath grants Idunn bonus Atk, reduces her foe's Atk, and grants a massive 70% damage reduction if her foe can make a follow-up attack.
This refine turns Idunn into a very potent wall that can withstand multiple blows from her enemies.

Note: Stats bonuses from skills are not taken into account.
Idunn is a non-ranged (Range = 1) magic attacker. Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage she deals will be equivalent to her Atk minus the foe's Res stat.
Idunn's unique weapon Demonic Breath provides some useful effects that function both offensively and defensively.
Below is a summary of its effects:
| 1 | Grants Def+3 |
|---|---|
| 2 | Effective against armored foes |
| 3 | Neutralizes penalties on Idunn, if a penalty is active on her or her HP < 100% |
| 4 | Grants Idunn Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 during combat, if a penalty is active on her or her HP < 100% |
| 5 | Calculates damage using the lower of foe's Def or Res, if foe's Range = 2 |
Even among other armored manaketes, Idunn is exceptionally powerful, and she can excel as a pivotal member in both all armor or all dragon teams. Since she learns Ward Dragons by default, she can easily buff the defensive power of other dragons in her team to play a support role.
As an armor unit, equipping skills like Bold Fighter and Quick Riposte as Sacred Seals will allow her to gain follow-up attacks regardless of who initiates combat. However, Bold Fighter is quite a high investment skill, and Vengeful Fighter alone is quite powerful as is, so do not waste extremely valuable skills unless necessary.
In a Dragon party, Idunn will often be slowed by her low mobility, so having a teammate with Armor March or Guidance on the same team will make it easier for her to get up and close to the foes. Guidance is also available as a Sacred Seal.
Although Idunn's defensive stats are very high, her Spd is slow, meaning she will often take follow-up attacks, and if taken from a blue unit, that damage will add up quickly. In particular, Idunn does not have Distant Counter by default, so a speedy blue ranged unit can deal plenty of damage to Idunn. Units like Micaiah who have effective weapons, and speedy attackers like Ishtar are equipped to take Idunn down, so know your enemy's unit types, and let her allies take out foes she struggles with.

Idunn can be used to inherit the skills Fort. Def/Res 3 or Vengeful Fighter 3. However, Idunn is a rare and extremely powerful armored dragon unit, so we highly recommend keeping and building at least one before foddering of or merging any duplicates. In addition, she works great in both dragon and armor parties.
Idunn is a Hero who can be pulled from any summon.
Note: Not currently a featured hero in any Summon events.

| His Highness told me that humans were a stain on the world that had to be scrubbed out... You believe the precise opposite. Your goal is to protect the world and those in it. I find this very confusing. What will humans do with the world? And what should I do? Was it to help fulfill your purpose that I was pulled to this place beyond time? Can I believe the things you tell me? For now...I will follow where you lead and seek those answers. |
