Emblem Sigurd Builds and Best IVs

Emblem Sigurd is a unique Cavalry unit with an exclusive area-of-effect Special and superior movement compared to other units in the game.

Emblem Sigurd's Holy-War Spear has an accelerated Special trigger and grants him 【Canto (3)】 and +2 movement (through the 【Gallop】 status granted at the start of each turn).

Having these effects makes Emblem Sigurd arguably the most mobile unit in the entire game, having 5 movement and a fixed 【Canto (3)】 that is active for the entire battle unlike Niðavellir heroes who only have higher 【Canto】 effects active on the first four turns.

The +2 movement being granted by the 【Gallop】 status can be a double-edged sword; it can be duplicated through teammate's effects (like Brave Chrom's A Fate Changed!) or stolen by foe's effects (like Tina's Thief staff or Fallen Nergal's 【Essence Drain】 effect).

In combat, Holy-War Spear checks all the boxes of modern day exclusive weapons: bonus stats, bonus true damage, and a damage reduction piercing effect.

Emblem Sigurd's exclusive Special Override is what separates him from other units offensively during combat. Override is an area-of-effect Special that deals damage in a 3x3 area equal to 1.5x Sigurd's Atk minus the foe's Def.

More importantly, if Override hits 2 or more foes, it grants Emblem Sigurd an extra action after combat (once per turn), allowing him to nuke a second batch of enemies with another Override!

2nd: Freyr

Blue		Blue Beast		Cavalry
Base Stats
Lv. 1	HP 17	Atk 30	Spd 3	Def 8	Res 7
Lv. 40	HP 41 (41)	Atk 60 (46)	Spd 16 (16)	Def 41 (41)	Res 35 (35)
Default Skills
： Dream Horn ：- ： Ignis			： Atk/Def Clash 4 ： Lull Atk/Def 4 ： Dream Deliverer ：-

Freyr Builds and Best IVs

Freyr's exclusive C skill Dream Deliverer is the main reason why he is on this list.

Dream Deliverer neutralizes all 【Penalty】 effects on himself and all allies within 2 spaces of Freyr at the start of each player phase and enemy phase.

This effect in particular is a direct counter to powerful debuffs such as Elimine's Staff of the Saint, as it cleanses off 【False Start】 on himself and nearby allies, while also being immune to 【False Start】 itself as the effect triggers at start of player phase or enemy phase and not at start of turn.

Dream Deliverer has become a necessary skill in competitive game modes such as Aether Raids Defense and Summoner Duels, especially with the current Savior metagame. Players have begun fielding ways to neutralize Savior such as Bridal Embla's Severance and Rearmed Leila's Dark Perfume in order to gun down foes using Emblem Lyn's Astra Storm Style and Emblem Lyn Ring on another ranged unit to abuse Safety Fence Lv. 2.

3rd: New Year Níðhöggr

Blue		Blue Beast		Armored
Base Stats
Lv. 1	HP 22	Atk 29	Spd 3	Def 10	Res 11
Lv. 40	HP 50 (50)	Atk 62 (48)	Spd 16 (16)	Def 49 (49)	Res 44 (44)
Default Skills
： New Year Fang ：- ： Sturdy Beast			： Divine Toxin ： Slick Fighter 4 ： Higher Ground ：-

New Year Níðhöggr Builds and Best IVs

New Year Níðhöggr is a Blue Beast Armored unit that can withstand multiple attacks and protect her allies from getting their bonuses stolen.

New Year Níðhöggr's exclusive weapon New Year Fang grants Def/Res+6, 【Hexblade】, and a status granting 50% damage reduction piercing to Níðhöggr and nearby allies at the start of each phase.

At start of combat, New Year Fang deals pre-combat damage to New Year Níðhöggr's foe equal to 25% of her foe's max HP, similar to her base form's Enticing Dose. While the pre-combat damage amount can be massive, it does not stack with other pre-combat damage effects, setting a cap on the amount of damage possible.

New Year Fang also inflicts an Atk/Def penalty onto New Year Níðhöggr's foe equal to 6 + 20% of her Def, grants Níðhöggr the double damage reduction trigger of Twin Save skills, bonus damage equal to 30% of her foe's max HP, true damage reduction on her foe's attacks equal to the total damage dealt to her foe (min 10; max 20), and an additional similar damage reduction effect if her foe triggers an offensive Special.

The pre-combat damage effect improves the true damage reduction effect, making New Year Níðhöggr incredibly tanky just like her base form. However, the often-seen Breath of Life 4 can counter this effect.

New Year Níðhöggr also comes with Divine Toxin just like her base alt. It grants additional transformation conditions to Níðhöggr, allowing her to easily transform on-demand with more lenient teambuilding and positioning restrictions.

At the start of each player and enemy phase, Divine Toxin grants 【Dosage】 to New Year Níðhöggr and nearby allies.

【Dosage】 is a new status effect that grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 and 10 HP post-combat healing to the affected unit, and more importantly, prevents status stealing effects such as Fallen Nergal's 【Essence Drain】 and Tina's Thief from stealing statuses and instead neutralizes those foe's own 【Bonus】 effects.

The continued trend of releasing problems and then creating solutions afterwards continues with Divine Toxin. A counter to Fallen Nergal has been needed for quite some time now in PvP modes like Summoner Duels, and now we have one. This skill is crucial and is a must-have in Summoner Duels to counter teams based around Fallen Nergal who is a staple presence in the metagame.

New Year Níðhöggr also comes with Higher Ground by default, which combines Barricade's anti-warp with a Far Save skill, giving New Year Níðhöggr amazing role compression on teams.

4th: Spring Plumeria

Blue		Lance		Flying
Base Stats
Lv. 1	HP 18	Atk 26	Spd 3	Def 6	Res 13
Lv. 40	HP 40 (40)	Atk 58 (45)	Spd 16 (16)	Def 41 (34)	Res 59 (49)
Default Skills
： Springing Spear ： Dreamlike Night ：-			： Stronghold ： Def/Res Discord ： Shadow Smite 4 ：-

Spring Plumeria Builds and Best IVs

Spring Plumeria is arguably the best refresher unit in the game (as of her release in early March 2025).

Spring Plumeria's Springing Spear has built-in 【Canto (Rem. +1; Min 2)】 and grants 【Canto (1)】 to nearby allies at the start of each turn.

For allies within 3 rows or 3 columns, Springing Spear grants them Atk/Def/Res+5, +10 bonus damage per attack, and a Preempt Pulse effect. These bonus effects are great when combined together and the distance covered is very large, making Springing Spear one of the best support weapons in the game.

Spring Plumeria's exclusive refresher assist Dreamlike Night not only refreshes an ally's action, but also refreshes their Canto effects if they've already used it for the turn.

Dreamlike Night also inflicts Atk/Def/Res-7, 【Frozen】, and 【Sabotage】 on closest foes to target ally and any foe within 2 spaces of those foes. This effect is applied upon using Dreamlike Night, allowing it to avoid start-of-turn cleansing effects like Dream Deliverer.

Finally, Spring Plumeria's Harmonized Skill grants 【Resonance: Blades】 to Plumeria and heroes from FEH and Awakening for one turn.

More importantly, the Harmonized Skill refreshes Plumeria's own turn and refreshes her Canto effect too, allowing Plumeria to gain an extra action that she can use to either attack, retreat, or use Dreamlike Night again to refresh another ally's action.

5th: Young Robin (F)

Blue		Blue Tome		Infantry
Base Stats
Lv. 1	HP 18	Atk 26	Spd 7	Def 8	Res 7
Lv. 40	HP 40 (40)	Atk 59 (45)	Spd 46 (46)	Def 30 (30)	Res 22 (22)
Default Skills
： Draconic Pacts ： Reposition ： Flare			： Fell Wyrmscale ： Atk/Spd Link 4 ： Inf. Null Follow 4 ：-

Young Robin (F) Builds and Best IVs

Young Robin (F) is a versatile Blue Tome infantry unit that functions as both an offensive unit and a support.

Whenever Robin uses or is the target of a Rally or movement assist, her weapon Draconic Pacts grants Special cooldown count -1 to Robin and inflicts 【Hush Spectrum】 on all foes within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on Robin.

【Hush Spectrum】 inflicts Atk/Spd/Def/Res-5 on the affected unit and also inflicts them with a Scowl effect, de-pulsing their Specials before their first attack in combat. It also grants Special cooldown count -1 to their foe if the affected unit has an accelerated Special trigger and their foe has an offensive Special skill equipped.

Additionally, whenever Robin uses or is the target of a Rally or movement assist after Robin has already acted this turn, Draconic Pacts grants Robin an extra action (once per turn). This effect allows Robin to fulfill both offense and support roles at the same time.

She also has an all-around exclusive A skill in Fell Wyrmscale that provides a little bit of everything, and a Duo Skill that grants 【Rally Spectrum】 and 【Dual Strike】 to herself and all allies within 7 rows and 7 columns; essentially a map-wide effect if used correctly.

Top Tier Runner-Up Blue Heroes

Attuned Caeda

Blue		Lance		Infantry
Base Stats
Lv. 1	HP 18	Atk 28	Spd 8	Def 8	Res 10
Lv. 40	HP 40 (40)	Atk 58 (42)	Spd 47 (47)	Def 30 (30)	Res 34 (34)
Default Skills
： Pure-Wing Spear ：- ： Luna			： D Bonus Doubler ： Believe in Love？ ： Def/Res Pledge ： Guard Echo

Attuned Caeda Builds and Best IVs

Attuned Caeda is a Lance Infantry unit that functions as a typical Omnitank unit with distinct advantages over the other options for this role.

Her Pure-Wing Spear grants Atk/Spd+6 and a Warping status effect to herself and nearby allies at the start of each turn. This effect is similar to Atk/Spd Oath 4, except it is granted to multiple units instead of just one unit. Having this effect built into the weapon makes Attuned Caeda one of the best support units in the game, freeing up C slots for heroes that otherwise would've equipped Atk/Spd Oath 4 for the self-bonus and Warp effects.

In combat, Pure-Wing Spear deals effective damage against armored and cavalry foes, grants bonus Atk/Spd/Def/Res to Caeda based on the number of nearby allies, grants a 50% damage reduction piercing effect, grants 30% damage reduction to Caeda, and heals 7-14 HP to Caeda for each of her attacks depending on the movement type of the foe.

What sets Attuned Caeda apart from other high Spd Lance units is her exclusive B skill, Believe in Love?. It has a Phantom Spd effect which treats her Spd as if it was 7 higher, allowing her to win Spd checks easily. It also has a Unity effect which grants Caeda a lot of bonus stats depending on the stat penalties applied to her, essentially reversing her stat penalties.

In combat, Believe in Love? inflicts Atk/Spd/Def-5 onto Caeda's foe and grants Caeda Spd-based damage reduction (up to 50%) on attacks and Specials.

More importantly, Believe in Love? reduces damage dealt to Attuned Caeda based on the amount of total bonuses among Caeda and nearby allies if against an armored or cavalry foe, and grants her damage reduction equal to 40% of that amount on her foe's first attack if against an infantry or flying foe. This effect in particular makes her a hard counter against armored and cavalry foes, protecting Caeda by granting her flat damage reduction. Assuming all of her base kit's bonuses are applied, this reduces the damage she takes by at least 24 for every attack she takes, making her an incredibly tanky unit.

Attuned Timerra

Blue		Lance		Infantry
Base Stats
Lv. 1	HP 18	Atk 24	Spd 14	Def 8	Res 9
Lv. 40	HP 40 (40)	Atk 50 (34)	Spd 47 (47)	Def 47 (47)	Res 31 (31)
Default Skills
： Desert Spear ：- ： Sandstorm			： Spd/Def Finish 4 ： Laguz Friend 4 ： Breath of Life 4 ： Time Pulse Echo

Attuned Timerra Builds and Best IVs

Attuned Timerra excels at being a frontline wall, preventing her foes from moving past her while she uses her damage reduction effects to withstand multiple attacks.

Attuned Timerra's Desert Spear has built-in Distant Counter and Bulwark effects, freeing up skill slots that would be otherwise used on these effects.

During combat, Desert Spear grants allies within 3 spaces of Attuned Timerra Spd/Def+4 and 10 true damage reduction whenever their foe's Special triggers.

During combat, Desert Spear grants Attuned Timerra Atk/Spd/Def/Res bonuses equal to 5 plus 15% of her Spd, 10 true damage reduction whenever her foe's Special triggers, and neutralizes her foe's visible stat bonuses.

Desert Spear is a great weapon for both defense and support, helping the entire team survive foe's Specials and granting bonus combat stats at the same time.

Attuned Timerra also comes with an exclusive Special skill in Sandstorm which boosts damage by 80% of her Def and calculates damage using 150% of her Def instead of her Atk whenever it triggers, which is better for Timerra specifically as it uses her high Def stat instead of her low Atk stat.

Sandstorm also passively grants Attuned Timerra damage reduction based on her current Special cooldown count value, up to a max of 40% damage reduction, and changes the follow-up attack calculation formula based on the difference between Attuned Timerra's Def and her foe's Def, up to a maximum change of 10. At maximum power, her foe would need to outspeed Attuned Timerra by ≥ 15 for them to make a follow-up attack.

Brave Chrom

Blue		Lance		Cavalry
Base Stats
Lv. 1	HP 19	Atk 28	Spd 12	Def 4	Res 4
Lv. 40	HP 41 (41)	Atk 58 (42)	Spd 42 (42)	Def 37 (37)	Res 17 (17)
Default Skills
： Geirdriful ： A Fate Changed! ：-			： Surge Sparrow ： S/D Near Trace 3 ： Inf. Spd Tactic ：-

Brave Chrom Builds and Best IVs

Brave Chrom is both a fun and powerful unit to use in multiple game modes. His weapon Geirdriful has Special acceleration, is effective against armored foes, grants Special acceleration per hit, and grants stat bonuses during combat based on the number of non-stat bonus or penalty status effects active on him.

He also has a busted assist skill like his other alts; this time, with A Fate Changed!. This skill is an improved Reposition that grants Chrom another action, applies 【Isolation】 to himself, and copies all bonuses on his target and grants them onto himself.

There are quite a lot of bonus effects in the game, and some of them are very powerful when given to Brave Chrom. Some of the most powerful ones include 【Fallen Star】 from Legendary or Summer Claude,【Dominance】 from Hilda (Genealogy) or Bridal Micaiah, and Movement +1 from Yuri, Brave Seliph, or Legendary Sigurd.

With proper teambuilding, Brave Chrom can be a complete menace on the battlefield.

Bridal Sharena

Blue		Lance		Cavalry
Base Stats
Lv. 1	HP 18	Atk 30	Spd 8	Def 6	Res 6
Lv. 40	HP 40 (40)	Atk 60 (44)	Spd 47 (47)	Def 32 (32)	Res 21 (21)
Default Skills
： United Bouquet ：- ： No Quarter			： Atk/Spd Excel ： Potent 4 ： Forever Yours ：-

Bridal Sharena Builds and Best IVs

Bridal Sharena is a fantastic unit that can function well in both phases and generate additional actions in multiple ways.

Bridal Sharena's exclusive C skill Forever Yours is what sets her apart from other units and makes her incredibly unique and powerful. This skill grants 【Canto (Dist, +1; Max 4)】, bonus stats, 40% damage reduction, and a Tempo effect to Sharena during combat, but more importantly, if Bridal Sharena has already acted and an ally within 3 spaces of her enters combat, Forever Yours grants Bridal Sharena an extra action after the ally's combat and re-enables Canto.

Bridal Sharena also has a Duo Skill which is similar to Forever Yours's effect where it grants her another action and re-enables Canto if an ally within 3 spaces acts. This can be activated on-demand simply by pressing the Duo Skill button, giving the player the choice of when to grant Sharena an extra action.

With these two skills, Bridal Sharena can act up to three times in one turn. By inheriting Galeforce onto Bridal Sharena, she can act up to four times in one turn!

Offensively, Bridal Sharena is a great unit as well with United Bouquet granting a visible Atk/Spd+6 bonus and movement+1,, in-combat bonus stats, a Null Follow-Up effect, true damage based on Spd, and HP recovery per attack during combat.

With four movement and up to four actions per turn and multiple instances of 【Canto (Dist, +1; Max 4)】, Bridal Sharena can quickly sweep groups of enemies with ease.

Hoshidan Summer Lucia

Blue		Lance		Infantry
Base Stats
Lv. 1	HP 19	Atk 31	Spd 13	Def 4	Res 8
Lv. 40	HP 41 (41)	Atk 61 (42)	Spd 46 (46)	Def 30 (30)	Res 34 (34)
Default Skills
： Breezy Spear ： Rally Up Spd+ ：-			：- ： A/S Bulwark 4 ： Firm Canto Curb ：-

Hoshidan Summer Lucia Builds and Best IVs

Hoshidan Summer Lucia is a speedy Lance Infantry unit built for isolating enemies and battling them in a pure 1 vs 1 scenario.

Hoshidan Summer Lucia's Breezy Spear disables all of the following effects for both herself and her target foe in combat:

• All skills of all other foes and allies, except for Lucia and her target foe
• Triggering Special skills
• Defensive terrain effects
• Support effects
• Guaranteed follow-up attacks
• Effects that prevent follow-up attacks
• Effects that prevent counterattacks
• Effects that change attack priority (such as Vantage and Desperation)

Breezy Spear turns any combat where Lucia is participating into a true 1v1, disabling all sources of ally help and all effects that create an unfair advantage in generating or disabling additional attacks. The only notable effects that remain are true damage and damage reduction effects.

In combat, Breezy Spear grants Lucia a Distant Counter effect, Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5, bonus Atk/Spd/Def/Res equal to 15% of her Spd, bonus damage equal to 20% of her Spd, and 7 HP post-combat healing.

While Breezy Spear has its weaknesses such as not disabling damage reduction effects, it still makes Hoshidan Summer Lucia a formidable unit on the battlefield that can be quite difficult to take down.

Ice Tribe Fjorm

Blue		Lance		Armored
Base Stats
Lv. 1	HP 21	Atk 31	Spd 8	Def 13	Res 7
Lv. 40	HP 48 (43)	Atk 58 (42)	Spd 47 (47)	Def 35 (35)	Res 40 (40)
Default Skills
： Ice-Crystal Spear ：- ： Dual Ice Mirrors			： Deluge Boost 3 ： Shield Fighter ： A/S Far Save 3 ：-

Ice Tribe Fjorm Builds and Best IVs

Ice Tribe Fjorm is arguably the best Far Save tank as of the time of her release.

Her Ice-Crystal Spear grants bonus stats, healing, Null Follow-Up, and ranged Null C-Disrupt, while Dual Ice Mirrors grants Distant Counter, non-piercable damage reduction against ranged attacks, and damage reflection.

She also comes with the valuable Shield Fighter B skill, allowing defensive Specials like Pavise, Aegis, and Ice Tribe Fjorm's Dual Ice Mirrors to trigger twice per activation, and then reduces an additional 7 damage after those triggers.

With her base kit alone, Ice Tribe Fjorm triggers Dual Ice Mirrors on each of her ranged foe's attacks, and each activation reduces incoming damage by 64% plus an additional 7 damage after each attack, and then reflects back all of the damage reduced onto her foe when she attacks.

Ice Tribe Fjorm also has a Duo Skill which creates 【Divine Vein (Ice)】 terrain on her occupied space and all spaces within 2 spaces of her for 2 turns, making it difficult for her foes to approach your team, especially in Summoner Duels where there are limited actions per turn and every action is critical.

Jehanna Ike

Blue		Lance		Infantry
Base Stats
Lv. 1	HP 19	Atk 28	Spd 8	Def 12	Res 6
Lv. 40	HP 41 (41)	Atk 63 (47)	Spd 47 (47)	Def 36 (36)	Res 28 (28)
Default Skills
： Swirling Lance ：- ： Aether's Path			： D Bonus Doubler ： Laguz Loyalty ： Time Pulse Edge ：-

Jehanna Ike Builds and Best IVs

Jehanna Ike is a fast Lance Infantry unit that excels in an Omnitank role.

Jehanna Ike's exclusive weapon Swirling Lance has multiple effects that provide value both for himself and his allies.

At the start of each phase, Swirling Lance grants Ike and his allies Spd/Def+6, 【Null Panic】, and a status that modifies the Spd check for follow-up attacks by requiring foes to have +15 Spd difference in order to generate a follow-up attack.

In combat, Swirling Lance grants Ike bonus stats up to Atk/Spd/Def/Res+14, true damage and true damage reduction equal to 20% of his Spd, and 50% damage reduction piercing.

While the in-combat effects are quite standard for modern weapons, the bonuses granted at each phase are valuable enough to be worth using above other Lance Infantry units.

Jehanna Ike's exclusive Special Aether's Path differs from other Aether variants by boosting damage by 75% of either the foe's Spd of Def (whichever is greater) and restoring 50% of Ike's maximum HP instead of restoring HP based on damage dealt. This difference makes it more reliable than the other Aether variants by setting a clear value for the healing effect.

Aether's Path also has built-in Null Guard and Null C-Disrupt, reduces the effect of 【Deep Wounds】 by 50%, and reduces incoming damage by up to 50% based on current Special cooldown value.

Winter Cordelia

Blue		Lance		Flying
Base Stats
Lv. 1	HP 18	Atk 14	Spd 10	Def 7	Res 4
Lv. 40	HP 40 (40)	Atk 44 (44)	Spd 43 (43)	Def 33 (33)	Res 23 (23)
Default Skills
： Inseverable Spear ：- ： Galeforce			： Atk/Spd Clash 4 ： Flow Guard 3 ： Def/Res Hold ：-

Winter Cordelia Builds and Best IVs

Winter Cordelia is a Lance flying unit very similar to another top tier unit in the game, Bridal Catria.

Her Inseverable Spear accelerates her Special trigger and grants the Orders buff and 【Dual Strike】 to herself and allies within 2 spaces at the start of each turn.

【Dual Strike】 allows units to attack twice if they are adjacent to another unit with 【Dual Strike】.

This effect is very similar to Bridal Catria's Wedding-Bell Axe. The differences between these two are:

• Inseverable Spear's 【Dual Strike】 only requires one nearby ally, but the ally has to be adjacent to another ally with 【Dual Strike】.
• Wedding-Bell Axe's 【Triangle Attack】 requires two allies, but they can be within 2 spaces instead.

Entire team compositions are being built around Bridal Catria, and Winter Cordelia provides similar utility. Team composiitons that prioritize ranged units will most likely prefer Bridal Catria, while melee-heavy teams will prefer Winter Cordelia due to the proximity requirements to trigger brave attacks.

Winter Edelgard

Blue		Lance		Armored
Base Stats
Lv. 1	HP 20	Atk 24	Spd 4	Def 14	Res 14
Lv. 40	HP 46 (46)	Atk 63 (47)	Spd 17 (17)	Def 47 (47)	Res 44 (44)
Default Skills
： Black Yule Lance ：- ： Armored Blaze			： Atk/Def Prime 4 ： Raging Tempest ： Def/Res Ploy 3 ：-

Winter Edelgard Builds and Best IVs

Winter Edelgard follows the footsteps of Summer Edelgard as one of the best player phase units in the entire game.

Her exclusive weapon Black Yule Lance creates up to 10 【Divine Vein (Flame)】 tiles after combat, pre-charges her Special skill by up to -3 cooldown, cuts foe's damage reduction by up to 100%, and neutralizes foe's non-Special Miracle effects.

Special skipping is a powerful mechanic allowing units to immediately trigger their Special skills with ease, bypassing Guard effects completely. Winter Edelgard abuses this very well when combined with Raging Tempest's extra action, ensuring she triggers her Special immediately, whether it's a damaging Special like Armored Blaze, or even Galeforce to generate a third action on the same turn.

Speaking of Raging Tempest, Winter Edelgard's exclusive B skill grants her +1 movement and 【Charge】 at the start of turn, providing multiple avenues of mobility that allow her to march towards her foes and lay waste to them.

In combat, Raging Tempest inflicts Atk/Def-5 on Edelgard's foe and grants Edelgard bonus damage equal to 15% of her Atk and an extra action if Edelgard initiated combat. Extra actions lead to another round of Special skipping and more 【Divine Vein (Flame)】 tiles to turn the battlefield into the user's favor.

Hræsvelgr

Blue		Blue Beast		Flying
Base Stats
Lv. 1	HP 18	Atk 24	Spd 9	Def 10	Res 8
Lv. 40	HP 40 (40)	Atk 59 (45)	Spd 48 (48)	Def 36 (36)	Res 25 (25)
Default Skills
： Quieting Claw ：- ： Nimble Beast			： Atk/Spd Fortune ： S/D Near Trace 4 ： Divine Talon ：-

Hræsvelgr Builds and Best IVs

Hræsvelgr is an offensive Mythic hero that doubles as a support hybrid.

Hræsvelgr's Quieting Claw inflicts Spd/Def-7, 【Exposure】, and a Null Miracle penalty status to the nearest foes and all foes near those foes at the start of each turn.

In combat, Quieting Claw inflicts up to Atk/Spd/Def-10 on Hræsvelgr's foe based on the number of foes within 2 spaces of the target foe with Bonuses or Penalties on them, grants Hræsvelgr Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5, bonus damage equal to 3x the total number of non-stat Bonuses and Penalties active on foe and any foe within 2 spaces of the target foe, 40% damage reduction, and 50% damage reduction piercing.

Hræsvelgr's exclusive C skill Divine Talon neutralizes any 【Penalty】 effects on Hræsvelgr or allies within 2 spaces of Hræsvelgr (excluding penalties inflicted at the start of the same turn) at the start of each turn, and then deals 1 damage to Hræsvelgr and allies within 2 spaces of Hræsvelgr.

The 【Penalty】 cleansing effect helps remove all sorts of penalties that cripple your team, and then the chip damage effect can be utilized properly by equipping skills that care about units not being at full health such as Escape Route 4.

In combat, Divine Talon grants Hræsvelgr Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5, a Null Follow-Up effect, an offensive Tempo effect, damage reduction equal to 4x the spaces travelled by the initiating unit, and another similar damage reduction effect if the foe triggers an offensive Special.

Winter Eikþyrnir

Blue		Blue Beast		Cavalry
Base Stats
Lv. 1	HP 20	Atk 27	Spd 5	Def 12	Res 6
Lv. 40	HP 46 (46)	Atk 62 (48)	Spd 20 (20)	Def 51 (48)	Res 28 (28)
Default Skills
： Delivering Antler ： Smite ：-			： Solid Ground 3 ：- ： Breath of Life 3 ：-

Winter Eikþyrnir Builds and Best IVs

Winter Eikþyrnir is a Blue Beast cavalry unit capable of enhancing ally's bonuses.

Winter Eikþyrnir's Delivering Antler grants Atk/Def+6 and 【Bonus Doubler】 to Eikþyrnir and all allies within 2 spaces of Eikþyrnir at the start of each turn.

After start-of-turn skills trigger, if Winter Eikþyrnir is within 2 spaces of an ally and either him or his nearby allies have visible bonuses to Atk/Spd/Def/Res, Delivering Antler increases those bonuses by +3 (capped at +10 total per stat).

In combat, if Winter Eikþyrnir initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally, Delivering Antler inflicts Atk/Def penalties on his foe equal to 6 + 20% of Eikþyrnir's Def, neutralizes his foe's bonuses to Atk/Def, neutralizes penalties to Eikþyrnir's Atk/Def, and grants Eikþyrnir a guaranteed follow-up attack and bonus damage equal to the highest total bonuses among Eikþyrnir and allies within 3 spaces of Eikþyrnir.

Delivering Antler is a great support/offense hybrid weapon, providing mass visible stat bonuses to Winter Eikþyrnir and his allies while also creating a huge swing in Atk/Def between him and his foe in combat.

Winter Alear (M) Builds and Best IVs

Winter Alear (M) is a high-Res speedy blue manakete excelling at an omnitank role.

Wintery Arts attacks twice, grants 【Divinely Inspiring】 to Alear and nearby allies, inflicts stat penalties onto foe, and grants Alear bonus stats, true damage, and true damage reduction on first attack.

【Divinely Inspiring】 is a new positive status effect that grants the affected unit:

• Atk/Spd/Def/Res bonuses equal to 3x the number of allies with 【Divinely Inspiring】 within 3 spaces of the affected unit
• Special cooldown count -X to unit before his/her foe's first attack; X = the number of allies with 【Divinely Inspiring】 within 3 spaces of the affected unit
• +X HP recovery whenever unit deals damage to his/her foe during combat; X = the number of allies with 【Divinely Inspiring】 within 3 spaces of the affected unit

Stacking multiple allies with the 【Divinely Inspiring】 status condition amplifies their combat prowess, making them even stronger when fighting together.

Winter Alear (M) also comes with an exclusive A skill Emblems' Miracle which has a built-in Distant Counter effect and grants him Atk/Spd/Def/Res+9 and 40% damage reduction on his foe's first attack during combat.

It also grants Alear a Miracle effect if Alear has 3 or more allies nearby and his foe initiates combat, while also fully restoring his HP after combat if he survives. The Miracle and recovery effect is only applied once per map, but it is incredibly effective at keeping Alear healthy and allowing him to survive a critical blow.
