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/-Res

The best IVs for Fallen Mareeta are +Atk and -Res. Both Spd and Atk are very important for her, but her Spd is already at a top level. Thus, a +Atk IV is best in maximizing damage. Her Res is already low and its not really important for her so it is safe to take as a bane.

Fallen Mareeta Best Weapon Refine

Effect of Fallen Mareeta's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
Shadow Sword	SP: 400
Might: 16　Range: 1　HP: 3 Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Atk/Spd+5 to unit during combat, and also, if unit initiates combat, unit can make a follow-up attack before foe can counterattack. At start of combat, if foe's HP ≥ 75%, grants Atk/Spd+5 to unit and neutralizes effects that inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on unit during combat, and also, if foe's Spd > foe's Def at start of combat, inflicts Spd-8 on foe during combat; otherwise, inflicts Def-8 on foe during combat. ：500　：200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Shadow Sword

The Special effect refine of Shadow Sword gives Atk/Spd+5, neutralizes Guard effects, and inflicts either a Spd or a Def penalty on the opponent.

These effects are much better options compared to the other refines available.

Fallen Mareeta Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Fallen Mareeta Roles

Mareeta - The Blade's Pawn 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

Fallen Mareeta is a close physical attacker (range = 1). 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.

Fallen Mareeta Strengths

Powerful Exclusive Weapon that has an effect Similar to Desperation

Faleen Mareeta's weapon, Shadow Sword has a built-in effect similar to Desperation 2 but instead of requiring being under or equal to 50% HP, it requires being above or equal to that value. This is much easier to trigger compared to even Desperation 3. If you can keep her at this HP requirement at most times, you can take out a lot of foes without taking damage. We recommend pairing her up with a healer unit to make sure that she always meets the HP requirement!

Unlike Lewyn's Forseti and Summer Laegjarn's Worldsea Wave, Shadow Sword also accelerates the special trigger. Combined with the consecutive attacks, this effect makes Fallen Mareeta an excellent wielder of Galeforce.

Has the Most Powerful Version of Flashing Blade

Fallen Mareeta has access to Flashing Blade 4 which is identical to Flashing Blade 3 but it has the additional effect of adding +5 pure damage whenever its triggered. This additional damage ignores foe's stats so it is good for dealing damage to units that have high defenses.

Disables Skills that Prevent Follow-up Attacks

Units that Disable Follow-up Attacks
Surtr	Effie	Halloween Jakob	Myrrh

Null Follow-Up 3 disables skills that prevent Fallen Mareeta's follow-up attacks such as Surtr's Wary Fighter 3. This makes Fallen Mareeta a good matchup against armored units as she can engage them without dealing with the armor-exclusive Wary Fighter line of skills.

She also has pure damage coming from Flashing Blade 4 which completely ignores the high Def stats of armored units.

Fallen Mareeta Weaknesses

Low Res

Fallen Mareeta's Res only sits at 23 at Lv.40. This makes it easy for magic users to take her out. When engaging magical units, aim to only attack those who will be taken out immediately.

Fortunately, her Def stat sits at a pretty fair 29 at Lv.40. Combined with her high Spd, her Def allows her to exchange blows from even the most powerful of physical units. We recommend sending other units to deal with magical units so that Fallen Mareeta can focus her firepower on units that pose less harm to her.

Fallen Mareeta Team and Counters

Teammates for Fallen Mareeta

Aversa	Marisa	Flying Olivia	Tailtiu
Legendary Azura	Kaden	Helbindi	Yune
Loki	Veronica	Fallen Corrin (F)	Bridal Fjorm

Units that can heal Mareeta

It is ideal to pair Fallen Mareeta with units that can heal her as Shadow Sword requires at least 50% HP to trigger. Veronica and Bridal Fjorm are some of the best options for healers as they also possess debuffs that will increase the damage output of Mareeta.

Units to buff her attack power

Having a support unit to increase Fallen Mareeta's damage output is ideal. Units like L! Azura and Flying Olivia who can buff Mareeta while simultaneously granting additional movement can allow him to OHKO foes. Units like Marisa with Infantry Pulse can also help reduce her special cooldown and assist her in upping her damage output.

Fallen Mareeta Counters

Brave Hector	Ishtar	Lukas	Ophelia
Reinhardt	Tailtiu	Legendary Tiki (Young)	Picnic Lukas

Powerful Magic Attackers

Fallen Mareeta will be OHKO'd by blue mages like Reinhardt or Ophelia before she can even counterattack. Use someone like Surtr or Myrrh instead to absorb the hit and then take them down.
