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.

+Def/-Spd

The best IVs for Helbindi are +Def and -Spd. Helbindi is mainly used as a physical tank so a +Def IV will definitely help him in taking more physical damage. His Spd is very low and is of less importance to him so it can be safely taken as a bane.

+Def for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Def IV when merging Helbindi to 10. With +10 merges, Helindi's Def stat will reach 44. He can survive lots of physical attacks at this point. You can also go for a +Atk IV if you prefer a more offensive Helbindi.

Helbindi Best Weapon Refinement

Effect of Helbindi's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
Býleistr	SP: 400
Might: 16　Range: 1　HP: 3 At start of turn, if unit is within 4 spaces of a foe or if it is an odd-numbered turn, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 to unit and allies within 2 spaces of unit for 1 turn. If it is an odd-numbered turn or if foe's HP ≥ 75% at start of combat, grants Atk+5 to unit and inflicts Atk-5 on foe during combat. If unit initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Atk+5 to unit and inflicts Atk-5 on foe during combat and foe cannot make a follow-up attack. ：500　：200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Býleistr

This is a no-brainer upgrade for Helbindi. With no upgrades, Býleistr is exclusive in odd-numbered turns! With this upgrade, a team +5 Atk/Spd/Def/Res bonus will be available in both phases!

Additionally, it also provides an effect that creates a gap in Atk stats between him and his foe. It can also block enemy follow-up attacks when conditions are met. This means more damage for Helbindi and less damage from his foes!

Helbindi Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Helbindi Roles

Helbindi - Savage Scourge Roles
Close-Physical	Ranged-Physical	Close-Magic	Ranged-Magic
Physical Wall	Magic Wall	Effective Weapon	Movement Assist
Exclusive Skill	All-Range Counter	Recovery	Refresher
Legendary	Mythic	Duo / Harmonized	Resplendent

Helbindi is a close physical attacker (range = 1). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage he deals will be equivalent to his Atk minus the foe's Def stat.

Helbindi Strengths

Massive stat boost in odd-numbered turns!

Helbindi's weapon, Býleistr, grants +4 Atk/Spd/Def/Res to Helbindi and all adjacent allies for 1 turn. This grants your team a massive boost in stats depending on the turn. Strategize your units' positions properly and strike when the time is right as this is a massive buff that can be the difference between victory and defeat.

This is an amazing effect when combined with powerful Blade tome users like Tharja.

Býleistr's spec. eff. refine significantly increases utility

The special effect refine of Býleistr makes the all-stat buff accessible in all turns! This double's Helbindi's efficiency as a unit. Moreoever, it grants him other effects that make him formidable in combat. Read more about it in the Best Weapon Refinement section.

Can raise your arena score

G Duel Infantry is a special skill that treats the unit’s stats as 170 in the Arena, allowing your overall score to increase when using him. It is usable by any green infantry unit, so equip it and increase your score as you would like, but keep in mind that as an A slot skill it means you will lose the ability to equip useful A skills like Fury or Warding Breath.

Slows Enemy Specials

Guard 3 inflicts special cooldown charge -1 per attack if Helbindi's HP ≥ 80% at the start of combat. This allows Helbindi and his allies to take less damage from enemies. This skill is also very helpful in Grand Hero Battles where delaying enemy specials is very important as enemy specials in those maps are very powerful.

Additionally, this makes Helbindi a great match-up for units running set-ups that make specials very quick to trigger such as Slaying Edge+ or Brave Sword as the weapon skill and slapping Sacred Seals such as Flashing Blade and Quickened Pulse for quick Moonbow or Glimmer activations.

High defensive stats

Helbindi has both high Def and Res stats. He is quite similar to Winter Tharja who also boasts balanced defensive stats. If you inherit skills that help him tank, he can surely be a very reliable mixed wall. Check out the builds section to find out more.

Helbindi Weaknesses

Low Spd

Helbindi has very low Spd. This makes him susceptible to follow-up attacks. We suggest inheriting Quick Riposte 3 to allow him to score follow-up attacks in the enemy phase. Quick Riposte is also available as a Sacred Seal. Check out the builds section to find out more!
