Duma Skills at 5★

Fell Breath Might: 16　 Range: 1 Grants Atk+3. At the start of combat, if foe’s HP < 100%, grants Atk/Res+6 during combat and foe cannot make a follow-up attack. If foe’s Range = 2, calculates damage using the lower of foe’s Def or Res.

Draconic Aura Cooldown Count = 3 Boosts Atk by 30%.

Fury 4 Grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4. After combat, deals 8 damage to unit.

Bold Fighter 3 If unit initiates combat, unit makes a guaranteed follow-up attack. Grants Special cooldown charge +1 per attack. (Does not stack. )

Upheaval+ At the start of turn 1, deals 10 damage to all foes, and if defending in Aether Raids during Anima season, destroys nearest offensive structure. (Does not affect structures that cannot be destroyed.) At start of combat, if unit's Atk > foe's Atk, or if foe's HP < 100%, neutralizes foe's bonuses (from skills like Fortify, Rally, etc.) during combat.

Duma Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (24)		★★★☆☆
Atk (29)		★★★★★
Spd (6)		★★☆☆☆
Def (8)		★★★★☆
Res (7)		★★★☆☆

◯ = 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.

+Atk and -Spd

Duma's best IVs are +Atk and -Spd. With a +Atk IV, Duma's Atk will increase by 4, making Bold Fighter very effective and allowing him to take down many foes in just one attack. A +Def IV is useful as well as it will make him capable of withstanding even more of the foe’s attacks.

Duma Best Builds

AR-D Near Save Duma

HOT
： Fell Breath ： Swap ： Armored Blaze ： -	： Earthfire Boost 3 ： High Dragon Wall ： A/D Near Save 3 ： Atk/Def Form 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

This build utilizes Duma as a Near Save unit in Aether Raids Defense teams. High Dragon Wall improves bulk and prevents ranged foes from warping in, potentially saving your defense team from Galeforce team sweeps via WIngs of Mercy.

AR-D Upheaval Duma

HOT
： Fell Breath ： Pivot ： Armored Blaze ： Emblem Celica	： Earthfire Boost 3 ： High Dragon Wall ： Upheaval+ ： Atk/Def Ideal 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

This build is also for Aether Raids Defense but instead uses Upheaval+ instead of a Savior Skill. High Dragon Wall prevents ranged foes from warping in, while Emblem Celica's Emblem effect grants Duma mobility so he can attack his foes instead of being left behind the rest of his allies.

Budget Duma

： Fell Breath ： Pivot ： Draconic Aura ： -

： Fury 4 ： Bold Fighter 3 ： Upheaval+ ： Quick Riposte 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

This is a budget build for Duma with minimal Skill Inheritance. This works as a mixed-phase build. Quick Riposte 3 gives Duma a guaranteed follow-up attack when he's attacked by a melee unit during the enemy phase, while Bold Fighter 3 gives him a guaranteed follow-up attack in the player phase.

Aether Raids (Save Ball Support) Duma

HOT
： - ： Rally Atk/Def+ ： Miracle ： -	： Def/Res Bond 3 ： Special Fighter 3 ： Ward Armor ： Distant Guard 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

This build for Aether Raids is purposefully without any weapon, as it's mainly to make Duma a support tanky unit alongside a team with at least 2 units that have Save skills. Duma's role is to stay in place with the Save units and buff them with his Rally skill. This, in turn, will allow the Save units to soak damage for the rest of the team.

Source Heroes for All Skills

Duma Best Weapon Refine

Effect of Duma's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
Fell Breath	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. ：500　：200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Fell Breath

Refined Fell Breath grants bonus stats, damage reduction, additional bonus damage, and denies enemy follow-up attacks.

While these effects do not make Duma a top tier unit, they still allow him to hold his own in combat and be an actual unit instead of being an improved Catapult.

Duma Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Duma Roles

Duma - God of Strength 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

Duma is a non-ranged (Range = 1) magic attacker. Therefore, he will take and receive damage regardless of the weapon triangle. Additionally, if he is played during a week of anima season alongside a unit who possesses an anima blessing, he will raise the HP and attack of said unit.

A Mythic Hero who can boost allies' HP and Atk

Eff.	Atk+3	Spd+4	Def+5	Res+5

Duma is a Mythic Hero who will grant you an Anima Blessing when summoned. During Anima Season, Duma's allies who also have a Anima Blessing will receive a HP+5 and Atk+3 to their stats, increasing the party's viability.

Duma's Strengths

Colorless and Unaffected by Other Color Types

Since Duma is colorless, he is neither strong nor weak against any other color types. Therefore, the fact that he can safely battle any opponent regardless of their color type is one of his strengths. However, you must be careful as he is weak to Raven Tomes.

Fixed Damage to All Enemies and Prevents Follow-Up Attacks

His C Skill 'Upheaval' deals a fixed amount of 7 damage points to all enemies at the start of the first turn.

While this skill is very useful against heroes who are strong at 100% HP such as Fallen Celica and other Celica heroes, it also has the advantage of making skills that trigger when a heroes HP is higher than the opponents (such as Aversa's Night) easier to negate.

Additionally, by using his exclusive weapon Fell Breath, it is possible to prevent an enemy from using a follow-up attack. Fixed damage distribution from his Upheaval skill and its synergy with Fell Breath make Duma a tough hero to take down.

Destroy Offensive Structures when Defending in Aether Raids!

During Anima season, placing Duma in a defense map allows you to destroy offensive structures located in the same column or nearest columns if there is no structure in the same column. In addition, since the fixed damage from Upheaval+ stacks, lining up duplicate Dumas will amplify the amount of damage dealt to opponents.

Guaranteed Follow-Up Attack with Bold Fighter!

Duma's passive skill Bold Fighter allows him to make a guaranteed follow-up attack. In addition, he can speed up his cooldown when he makes an attack. When struck by an opponent capable of making a counterattack, his Draconic Aura makes it difficult to bring him down in just one battle. Pairing him with allies possessing the skill Armor March further increases his combat ability.

Gains a Buff When Solo

Def/Res Solo is a skill that grants +6 to Def/Res when Duma is not adjacent to another ally.

Additionally, since Fell Breath's bonus stacks on top of this resulting in +12 resistance, it is not a stretch to say that Duma is a character with one tough defence. Since Duma can only move one space per turn, he separates from allies easily, and this condition is very easy to meet.

Duma's Weaknesses

Weak to Armor Effective Weapons

Since he is an armored unit, Duma takes a lot of damage from armor effective weapons. Take note of your opponent's weapons and proceed with caution.

How is Damage Calculated?

Weak to Anti-Dragon Attacks

Duma is a manakete, so in addition to armor effective weapons, he takes heavy damage from characters who wield Falchion or other dragon effective weapons. Be sure not to approach units who wield weapons that are effective against him.
