Fallen Berkut Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (18) HP Superbane ★★★☆☆
Atk (21) Attack Boon ★★★★★
Spd (4) Spd Bane ★☆☆☆☆
Def (11) No Def IV ★★★★☆
Res (8) Res Bane ★★★☆☆

◯ = 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/-Spd

Fallen Berkut's best IVs are +Atk and -Spd. Having a +Atk IV makes it very easy for Berkut to turn the tables on an attacking opponent when he counterattacks. Equipping him with Heavy Blade as a Sacred Seal will increase this effect even more. His Spd stat is practically useless, so the -4 change from a superbane would not effect him much.

Attuned Skill Icon: -

How to Use, Explanation

This build is based around giving Quick Riposte to F!Berkut. Through Warding Stance 4 and Mirror Stance, Berkut will give himself a boost to his Res when the foe initiates combat, allowing him to tank most magic attacks with ease. Quick Riposte will give him a guaranteed follow-up attack, allowing him to turn the table on magic foes who try to initiate combat against this unit.

Passive Skill BGuard 3
Attuned Skill Icon: -

How to Use, Explanation

This skill set uses Distant Def 4 to allow F!Berkut to make him even more capable of enduring ranged attacks. This unit excels when taking an attack from a ranged foe, so this build is focused on enhancing that ability to the max. Giving him the skill Guard lets him delay a foe’s special, thus further preventing the damage they can deal to him.

Fallen Berkut Best Weapon Refine

Effect of Fallen Berkut's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
SP: 400
Might: 16 Range: 1 HP: 3
If foe initiates combat and unit is within 3 spaces of an ally, unit can counterattack regardless of foe's range and foe cannot make a follow-up attack, but after combat, if unit attacked, deals 20 damage to nearest ally.
If foe initiates combat or if foe's HP ≥ 75% at start of combat, inflicts Atk/Def-5 on foe during combat and unit makes a guaranteed follow-up attack.
Arena Medal:500 Divine Dew:200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Kriemhild

Refined Kriemhild removes the restriction of having ranged foes attack Fallen Berkut and now activates at all times. Additionally, the special refine inflicts Atk/Def-5 onto his foes and grants him a guaranteed follow-up attack.

This is a strong refine and is definitely worth consideration.

F!Berkut is a close ranged 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.

Fallen Berkut's Strengths

Nullify follow-up attacks and counter from any range!

Kriemhild, F!Berkut's exclusive weapon skill, allows him to nullify a follow-up attack and counter a ranged enemy's attack if there is an ally within two spaces. This ability is extremely powerful for preventing the follow-up attack attack of high speed ranged attackers, like Linde and Eir, and then wiping them out with a counterattack.

Can support units whose skills trigger with lowered HP

Hero Name Builds with skill that trigger with lowered HP
Brazen Atk/Spd-Desperation-(Refined) Ragnarok
Desperation-Brash Assault
Desperation-Brash Assault
Distant Counter-Vantage

Note: Reinhardt will not have his skills trigger on the first go if he has 6 merges

Kriemhild has the downside of inflicting 20 damage to an ally, but this wil allow certain skills like Desperation and Brazen Atk/Spd, which depend on a unit's HP%, to trigger, meaning that you can use this effect to your advantage to support them.

Very powerful against magic attackers

Warding Stance 4 gives Berkut an additional Res+8 when the foe initiates combat, and inflicts -1 to the foe's special cooldown count. His C slot skill, Odd Res Wave 3, will grant him an additional Res+6 on odd numbered turns, meaning that he will gain a total of Res+14 when a magic foe initiates combat.

Fallen Berkut's Weaknesses

Weak to skills that are effective on cavalry units

As a cavalry unit, Berkut will take a ton of damage from attacks like Ridersbane or Poleaxe, which are effective on cavalry units. Be very cautious of the weapons your enemies are wielding.

Cannot prevent close-range follow-up attacks

F!Berkut's exclusive weapon will prevent the follow-up attacks of ranged attackers, but not of those against units who wield close weapons like lances or axes. F!Berkut's Spd stat is extremely low, so he is almost guaranteed to take a follow-up attack. Use a seal like Close Def 3 to slightly decrease the damage taken from this type of attack.

Fallen Berkut Team and Counters

Reinhardt IconReinhardt Brave Lyn IconBrave Lyn Duma IconDuma Louise IconLouise

Heroes with skills that trigger when their HP drops

F!Berkut can take a ranged attack, and after countering that attack he wil deal 20 damage to the nearest ally. While it seems like a huge drawback, this actually works very well with heroes like Celica or Reinhardt whose skills trigger at lower HP percents, and this is an effective way of doing so without accidentally killing them.

Heroes whohave access to cavalry-only buffs

As a cavalry unit, F!Berkut loves to get as many cavalry-exclusive buffs, like Fortify Cavalry or Goad Cavalry, as possible. With some of the best defensive stats among all cavalry units in the game, equpping him with a cavalry buff like Fortify Cavalry will make him even more capable of withstanding enemy attacks.

Nino IconNino Duma IconDuma Fallen Corrin (F) IconFallen Corrin (F) Fallen Tiki (Young) IconFallen Tiki (Young)

Heroes with cavalry-effective weapons and manaketes

F!Berkut's exclusive weapon will prevent the follow-up attacks of ranged attackers, but not those of close ranged attackers. Taking a double attack from a dragon that is any color other than red will usually be enough to take him down, so it is important to avoid these. You also have to watch out for high Atk nukes like Micaiah and Nino.

Lv 40 5★ Dialogue

Lv 40 5★ Dialogue become available when a hero attains Lv. 40 at 5★ rarity.

You, summoner...how pitiful you are. To the people of this world, you are little more than a walking sacrifice.
They praise you as a savior, but once your usefulness has run its course, they will cast you aside...
Of course, you struggle with the idea. You want to tell me how wrong I am. Your naivety is plain on your face.
You see only the surface of things. Beneath, the world is cruel—everyone hides their true intentions.
Someday, you will realize the truth as I have... When that day comes, I will relish the regret on your face... Hah!
