+Atk/-Res

The best IVs for Bow Hinoka are +Atk and -Res. A higher Atk stat allows Hinoka to take out other flying and armored units more effectively. You can also go for a +Spd stat if you prefer scoring or avoiding follow-up attacks. Since she can afford to take some ponts off Res, it is a fitting bane for her as to not harm her Def even more.

Bow Hinoka Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Bow Hinoka Roles

Hinoka - Blue Sky Warrior Roles
Close-Physical	Ranged-Physical	Close-Magic	Ranged-Magic
Physical Wall	Magic Wall	Effective Weapon	Movement Assist
Exclusive Skill	All-Range Counterattack	Recovery	Refresher
Legendary	Mythic	Duo/Harmonized	Resplendent

Bow Hinoka is a ranged physical attacker (range = 2). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage she deals will be equivalent to her Atk minus the foe's Def stat.

Bow Hinoka Strengths

Strong Against Armored Units!

Warrior Princess is effective not only against flying units, but also armored units as well! This allows Hinoka to be a great match-up against powerful armored units such as Surtr and Idunn!

It also has a built-in effect similar to Drive Atk! It Grants +3 Atk to allies within 2 spaces during combat.

Atk/Spd Bond Increases Offensive Power

Atk/Spd Bond 3 increases Bow Hinoka's Atk and Spd by +5 if she is adjacent to an ally. Since it is an in-combat buff, it stacks with other combat buffs. This makes Bow Hinoka high-powered, but not susceptible to panics and chills. This, of course, stacks with the Drive Atk effects of Warrior Princess.

Flier Formation 3 grants extra mobility

Flier Formation 3 allows Bow Hinoka to move to spaces that are adjacent to units 2 squares away. This allows Bow Hinoka to potentially jump from unit to unit and help them through attacking nearby foes or by triggering skills that require an adjacent ally. This skill provides lots of strategic value if you are using at least two other flying units aside from Bow Hinoka.

Flier Guidance 3 synergizes well with Flier Formation 3

Combined with Flier Formation 3, Flier Guidance 3 allows Bow Hinoka and all of her allies to bounce around each other while enjoying the benefits of flying movement! This makes Bow Hinoka's presence in an all-flying party very important as she brings ton of mobility into the team.

Bow Hinoka Weaknesses

Weak to bows

As a flying unit, Bow Hinoka takes 1.5x damage from bows and weapons effective on flying units. Be sure to keep them out of the range of archers and leave them to other units.
Heroes with Effective Skills

Low Def

Bow Hinoka's Def only sits at 17 at Lv. 40. This further magnifies her weaknesses to co-bow units. Be wary of counterattacks from physical units! Remember that taking attacks from magical units is a different story as her Res is at a fair 29!
