Legendary Alear (M) Builds and Best IVs

Legendary Alear (M) is an Earth Legendary hero with dual phase potential.

Legendary Alear (M)'s exclusive weapon skill Divine One's Arts attacks twice on both phases and grants him Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 during combat.

It also inflicts Atk/Spd/Def/Res-X on Alear's foe, where X is 4 plus three times the number of distinct game titles among allies within 3 spaces of Alear (total penalties capped at -10), cuts the foe's non-Special damage reduction effects in half, and inflicts Special cooldown count +1 onto his foe before foe's first attack if his foe has an offensive Special and Alear wins a Res check.

What makes Legendary Alear (M) truly stand out is his exclusive A skill Emblems' Miracle. It 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.

Emblems' Miracle 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.

2nd: Brave Corrin (F)

Colorless		Colorless Breath		Armored
Base Stats
Lv. 1	HP 14	Atk 26	Spd 11	Def 7	Res 4
Lv. 40	HP 42 (42)	Atk 56 (40)	Spd 46 (46)	Def 37 (37)	Res 40 (40)
Default Skills
： Vallastone ：- ： Armored Floe			： Realms United ： Counter Roar 4 ： A/S Far Save 3 ：-

Brave Corrin (F) Builds and Best IVs

Brave Corrin (F) is a speedy colorless armored manakete that excels defensively while protecting her allies at the same time.

Her exclusive weapon Vallastone inflicts Atk/Spd/Def/Res-5 onto her foe and grants Corrin a Null Follow-Up effect and 30% damage reduction in combat.

Vallastone also applies 【Divine Vein (Stone)】 to Corrin's current occupied space and all spaces within 2 spaces of herself for one turn after she acts. She doesn't have to attack to create the Divine Veins; simply moving and ending turn creates them.

Brave Corrin (F)'s base kit has five sources of damage reduction with Vallastone's 30%, the 【Divine Vein (Stone)】 effect reducing damage from Specials, Armored Floe's 40%, Realms United's flat 7 reduction, and Counter Roar 4's 30%. The base kit is the most common set players will encounter and it is very difficult to bring down without a way to pierce through damage reduction.

3rd: Bridal Tiki (Adult)

Colorless		Colorless Breath		Armored
Base Stats
Lv. 1	HP 18	Atk 12	Spd 7	Def 7	Res 15
Lv. 40	HP 42 (42)	Atk 58 (42)	Spd 26 (26)	Def 40 (40)	Res 45 (45)
Default Skills
： Twin Divinestone ：- ： Armored Floe			： Mirror Stance 3 ： New Divinity ： A/R Far Save 3 ：-

Bridal Tiki (Adult) Builds and Best IVs

Bridal Tiki (Adult) is a very sturdy colorless armored manakete capable of functioning both offensively and defensively. Her Twin Divinestone grants multiple powerful effects, most notably a Dragon Wall effect and de-pulsing her foes before combat, preventing them from triggering their Specials.

In addition to Twin Divinestone, Bridal Tiki (Adult) also carries New Divinity similar to her Brave counterpart. New Divinity is an improved Dragon Wall 3 that also inflicts Atk/Res-5 on her foe and prevents their follow-up attacks if Bridal Tiki (Adult)'s HP ≥ 40%.

These two skills have stacking damage reduction and also have a pseudo Null Follow-Up effect, granting Tiki a guaranteed follow-up attack while preventing her foe's own follow-up. Enemies will require their own Null Follow-Up effect in order to enter combat fairly.

4th: New Year Askr

Colorless		Colorless Tome		Infantry
Base Stats
Lv. 1	HP 18	Atk 23	Spd 3	Def 12	Res 9
Lv. 40	HP 40 (40)	Atk 56 (42)	Spd 16 (16)	Def 42 (42)	Res 37 (37)
Default Skills
： Duality Vessel ：- ： Bonfire			： Def/Res Finish 4 ： Atk/Res Tempo 3 ： Opened Domain ：-

New Year Askr Builds and Best IVs

New Year Askr is a formidable tank unit capable of withstanding multiple attacks.

His Duality Vessel accelerates his Special trigger, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 during combat, grants a guaranteed follow-up attack, inflicts Special cooldown deceleration onto his foe, grants true damage reduction equal to 20% of his Def, and reduces damage taken from area-of-effect Specials based on a Def check.

True damage reduction is based on a flat number and are not affected by any outside factors. This effect is incredibly valuable and the units who possess this effect such as the original Askr and Brave Dimitri are among the best tanks in the game.

He also carries Opened Domain like his original version, opening up various strategies with its stat bonuses and Time's Pulse effect.

Finally, his Duo Skill grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+6 and Special cooldown count-1 to himself and all allies within 2 spaces for one turn. This Duo Skill can be activated once every three turns.

5th: Elimine

Colorless		Staff		Flying

Lv. 1	HP 17	Atk 24	Spd 10	Def 3	Res 8
Lv. 40	HP 36 (36)	Atk 48 (34)	Spd 40 (40)	Def 16 (16)	Res 41 (41)
Default Skills
： Staff of the Saint ： Nudge+ ：-			： Atk/Res Push 4 ： A/S Far Trace 3 ： Holy Ground ：-

Elimine Builds and Best IVs

Elimine is an Astra Mythic hero who can shut down all At start of turn based skills of foes in cardinal directions thanks to her weapon Staff of the Saint. Using this effect, Elimine can shut down entire teams' gimmicks and strategies. Some examples of Aether Raids defense strategies she shuts down are Catria Balls, L!Sigurd-based Cavlines, Return Traps, and Infantry Pulse teams.

Elimine can anso function beyond her Staff of the Saint. Her unique C skill Holy Ground provides 30% damage reduction to allies within 2 spaces of Elimine, and it buffs Def/Res+4 on top of the damage reduction! This skill is like Flayn's Caduceus Staff, Close and Distant Guard put together into one skill.

Top Tier Runner-Up Colorless Heroes

Askr

Base Stats
Lv. 1	HP 18	Atk 24	Spd 4	Def 13	Res 9
Lv. 40	HP 40 (40)	Atk 57 (43)	Spd 26 (26)	Def 43 (43)	Res 31 (31)
Default Skills
： Illuminating Horn ：- ： Bonfire			： Atk/Def Ideal 4 ： Atk/Def Bulwark 3 ： Opened Domain ：-

Askr Builds and Best IVs

Askr dishes out bovine brutality on his way to our list. His Illuminating Horn has way too many effects to list briefly, but the most important effects are the true damage and true damage reduction based on his already high Def stat.

True damage cannot be reduced by most damage reduction effects, and true damage reduction is flat and is applied after percentage-based damage reduction effects.

For example: if Askr has 60 Def, his attacks deal at least 12 damage, and foe's attacks are reduced by 12 damage. Period.

His exclusive C skill Opened Domain has joint drive Time's Pulse, joint drive【Resonance: Blades】, and joint drive 【Resonance: Shields】as long as he has one nearby ally that is from a different game title (not a Fire Emblem Heroes Original Character). Not only is this effect beneficial for him (activating his Atk/Def Ideal 4), it helps his allies tremendously, especially those reliant on triggering Specials like Galeforce!

Fomortiis

Colorless		Colorless Beast		Armored
Base Stats
Lv. 1	HP 22	Atk 28	Spd 5	Def 9	Res 9
Lv. 40	HP 46 (46)	Atk 58 (44)	Spd 15 (15)	Def 46 (46)	Res 44 (44)
Default Skills
： Ravager ：- ： Bonfire			： Nightmare ： Beast Follow-Up 3 ： A/D Far Save 3 ：-

Fomortiis Builds and Best IVs

Fomortiis is an Anima Mythic hero with an amazing stat spread and skillset to fulfill the Savior tank role for Aether Raids defense.

He comes with his exclusive weapon Ravager which inflicts Special cooldown charge -1 per attack and Atk/Def-6 on foe during combat, and grants 80% damage reduction on foe's follow-up attacks.

It has the standard beast transformation conditions, and Fomortiis gains Atk+2, Special cooldown charge +1 per attack, and a Distant Counter effect when he is transformed. Formortiis also comes with Beast Follow-Up 3 which allows him to ignore transformation conditions, allowing him to be at peak performance.

Due to his Distant Counter effect, Fomortiis can fulfill either the Near Save or Far Save roles at a high level.

Fomortiis also has an exclusive A skill in Nightmare which inflicts Atk/Def-10 on his foe during combat and reduces damage from his foe's first attack by 30%.

More importantly, after combat, Nightmare ends the turn of the closest foes within 4 spaces of the foe who attacked him. This is an amazing effect which indirectly improves his survival by receiving less attacks, and the 4 space condition makes it a difficult skill to play around. Galeforce teams will require careful positioning in order to avoid this effect.

Medeus

Colorless		Colorless Breath		Infantry
Base Stats
Lv. 1	HP 37	Atk 11	Spd 3	Def 12	Res 10
Lv. 40	HP 40 (40)	Atk 63 (44)	Spd 18 (18)	Def 38 (38)	Res 43 (43)
Default Skills
： Shadow Breath ：- ： Glacies			： Def/Res Ideal 4 ： Assured Rebirth ： Canto Control 3 ：-

Medeus Builds and Best IVs

Medeus is a Dark Mythic hero with key abilities that protect his team from metagame threats.

He grants 【En Garde】to himself and his nearby allies at the start of the turn, protecting them from non-combat damage such as Bolt Tower, Bolt Trap, Savage Blow 3, and even self-recoil skills like Fury 4 and Distant Storm.

His exclusive B skill Assured Rebirth can grant him up to 60% damage reduction with the proper team support.

He also comes with Canto Control 3, a much-needed skill in the metagame. This skill neuters hit-and-run strategies involving popular units with Canto like Yuri, Brave Eirika, and carriers of the Trace skills!

Rearmed Robin (F)

Colorless		Colorless Breath		Armored
Base Stats
Lv. 1	HP 17	Atk 27	Spd 11	Def 9	Res 11
Lv. 40	HP 43 (43)	Atk 57 (41)	Spd 44 (44)	Def 35 (35)	Res 33 (33)
Default Skills
： Arcane Grima ：- ： Pavise			： Dragonhide ： Hardy Fighter 3 ： A/S Near Save 3 ：-

Rearmed Robin (F) Builds and Best IVs

Rearmed Robin (F) excels in combat as well with her Arcane Grima being a loaded weapon with bonus stats, a guaranteed follow-up attack, and bonus true damage, and Dragonhide inflicting a hefty stat debuff onto her foes and negating her own armor weakness.

She also comes with the rare Hardy Fighter 3 skill which saves some resources inheriting it, and she makes great use of this skill with her base 44 Spd which is among the highest in the entire game. She also comes with A/S Near Save 3 which boosts her most important stats in Atk and Spd when triggered.

With Arcane Grima giving a guaranteed follow-up and Hardy Fighter neutralizing effects that guarantee her foe's follow-ups, Rearmed Robin can cheat in combat by attacking twice and only getting attacked once. Her foe would require Null Follow-Up to even the playing field, and even then, they would need to outspeed Rearmed Robin which is already difficult on its own.

Valentine's Myrrh

Colorless		Colorless Breath		Armored
Base Stats
Lv. 1	HP 20	Atk 24	Spd 3	Def 9	Res 12
Lv. 40	HP 50 (50)	Atk 63 (47)	Spd 16 (16)	Def 48 (48)	Res 45 (45)
Default Skills
： Loving Breath ：- ： Armored Beacon			： Def/Res Scowl 4 ： Canny Fighter ： Darkling Dragon ：-

Valentine's Myrrh Builds and Best IVs

Valentine's Myrrh is a sturdy tank unit capable of protecting her allies with a Far Save effect and preventing warping from her foes.

Her weapon, Loving Breath,has a built-in Distant Counter effect, creates a large Atk stat swing by decreasing her foe's Atk and increasing her own, grants Res-based dmaage reduction and Special cooldown charges per attack, and provides post-combat healing to keep Myrrh healthy.

Darkling Dragon, Myrrh's exclusive C skill, grants Def/Res+6 and 【Warp Bubble】 to herself and either her support partner (if present) or to the ally with the highest Def within two spaces.

【Warp Bubble】 is a great effect that originated from Legendary Myrrh which prevents foes from warping into spaces within 4 spaces of the unit with this status effect. Skills like Assault Troop 3 or Wings of Mercy 4 become more difficult to utilize when this status effect is present!

In combat, Darkling Dragon slows down the foe's Special cooldown charges per attack, cuts the effectiveness of foe's non-Special damage reduction skills in half, and has a built-in Far Save effect that covers nearby allies from ranged attacks and grants Atk/Def/Res+4 to Valentine's Myrrh in combat.

Wind Tribe Kagero

Colorless		Dagger		Cavalry
Base Stats
Lv. 1	HP 17	Atk 24	Spd 15	Def 3	Res 4
Lv. 40	HP 43 (43)	Atk 61 (47)	Spd 45 (45)	Def 20 (20)	Res 23 (23)
Default Skills
： Brightwind Fans ：- ： Lethality			： Remote Sparrow ： Disarm Trap 4 ： C Feud 3 ：-

Wind Tribe Kagero Builds and Best IVs

Wind Tribe Kagero is a powerful offensive cavalry hero capable of defeating her foes and retreating back to safety with ease.

Kagero's exclusive weapon Brightwind Fans grants her 【Canto (Dist.; Max 3)】, which is a Canto effect equal to the number of spaces she moved this turn (capped at 3).

In combat, Brightwind Fans grants Kagero Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5, an Atk/Spd bonus equal to 20% of her Spd, and neutralizes effects that slow down her Special cooldown charges.

Additionally, if Kagero initiates combat, Brightwind Fans grants her 50% damage reduction on her foe's first attack, and Kagero's next attack deals damage equal to the total damage reduced. This effect allows her to survive attacks she otherwise wouldn't have, and the additional burst damage can heavily dent even sturdy tank units.

Wind Tribe Kagero also has a Duo Skill which grants her Special cooldown count-1, +1 movement, and neutralizes foe's bonuses during combat for 1 turn.

These effects allow Kagero to reach enemies she previously couldn't and burst them down with a faster Special trigger.

Winter Yunaka

Colorless		Dagger		Cavalry
Base Stats
Lv. 1	HP 17	Atk 24	Spd 8	Def 8	Res 6
Lv. 40	HP 39 (39)	Atk 57 (43)	Spd 47 (47)	Def 21 (21)	Res 30 (30)
Default Skills
： Silent Yule Knife ：- ： Luna			： Flared Sparrow ： Assassin's Strike ： Fatal Smoke 4 ：-

Winter Yunaka Builds and Best IVs

Winter Yunaka is a powerful dagger unit who can take advantage of her mobility to simultaneously decrease the damage reduction of enemies and boost her own. This is made possible by her signature weapon, the Silent Yule Knife, which only calculates the starting and ending points when initiating combat to trigger these effects.

If all conditions are met, she can achieve up to a 90% damage reduction, gaining a flat 30% multiplier for each movement space she takes. This effect also penalizes the foe's non-Special damage reduction by up to 90%, 30% for each space she moves. Additionally, if she lands on difficult terrain or is within two spaces of Divine Veins, the damage reduction and damage reduction cut effects are immediately raised to the maximum amount of 90%!

Common metagame units rely on non-Special damage reduction skills to survive the high damage output of other metagame units. Winter Yunaka bypasses these effects, utilizing her damage reduction cut effect to heavily dent bulky foes and outright defeat glass cannon enemies with ease.

Rearmed Tana

Colorless		Bow		Flying
Base Stats
Lv. 1	HP 18	Atk 29	Spd 8	Def 5	Res 4
Lv. 40	HP 40 (40)	Atk 59 (45)	Spd 47 (47)	Def 22 (22)	Res 23 (23)
Default Skills
： Arcane Náströnd ：- ： Deadeye			： Atk/Spd Unity ： Soaring Wings ： Guidance 4 ：-

Rearmed Tana Builds and Best IVs

Rearmed Tana is an offensive Bow Flier with skills that can help her be extremely mobile during team fights.

Arcane Náströnd provides Special cooldown -1 while effectively granting her Atk/Spd/Def/Res +5 during combat. It also gives 30% damage reduction during combat and a boost in Atk based on foe's cooldown.

This is also the first Arcane Bow weapon, which allows you to share it with other Bow units of your choice the first time you use her as source material!

Soaring Wings is a great passive B skill that provides Tana excellent mobility. It allows her to use 【Canto (1)】 and Guidance without the skill's ally-based restriction. As long as there are two allies within two spaces, Tana can make her way within two spaces of them.

Additionally, Soaring Wings has a built-in Clash effect that helps her inflict debuffs on foe's Spd/Def based on the number of spaces from start to end position of whoever initiates the battle.

Finally, Tana also comes with Guidance 4, which not only provides her infantry and armored allies with movement options, but also Atk/Spd +3 during combat. With the additional speed, her allies can easily get the offensive half of Null Follow-Up, which in this case, triggers if units have higher Spd than of foe's.

Arval

Colorless		Colorless Tome		Infantry
Base Stats
Lv. 1	HP 18	Atk 34	Spd 5	Def 4	Res 22
Lv. 40	HP 40 (40)	Atk 67 (44)	Spd 27 (27)	Def 23 (23)	Res 52 (43)
Default Skills
： Rite of Souls ：- ： Glacies			： Duality ： Atk/Res Tempo 3 ： Atk/Res Oath 4 ：-

Arval Builds and Best IVs

Arval is a powerful Anima Mythic hero capable of providing map-wide support by applying various penalties at a distance and being a hard-hitting unit at the same time.

Arval's Rite of Souls accelerates their Special trigger, inflicts 【Guard】 on all enemies within 3 columns or 3 rows centered on Arval at the start of turn, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 to Arval during combat, deals true damage equal to 20% of Arval's Res, and denies their foe's follow-up attacks.

Arval's exclusive A skill Duality has a unique effect which grants Arval weapon-triangle advantage against red, blue, and green foes, and disables skills that affect weapon-triangle calculations like Triangle Adept 3 and Cancel Affinity 3..

On top of the weapon-triangle effects, Duality also grants Arval a flat Atk/Res+9 with no drawbacks and grants Arval a guaranteed follow-up attack during combat.

This skill makes matching up against Arval quite difficult, especially if there are no colorless units to face them directly in combat.

Gullveig

Colorless		Colorless Tome		Cavalry
Base Stats
Lv. 1	HP 15	Atk 29	Spd 12	Def 3	Res 3
Lv. 40	HP 37 (37)	Atk 59 (45)	Spd 47 (47)	Def 27 (27)	Res 18 (18)
Default Skills
： Quietus Gullveig ：- ： Time is Light			： Flared Sparrow ： Occultist's Strike ： Def/Res Smoke 3 ：-

Gullveig Builds and Best IVs

Gullveig is one of the most formidable offensive heroes in the game.

Both Quietus Gullveig and Time is Light grant Gullveig an extra action post-combat, allowing her to potentially act up to three times in one turn. Using these actions as well as her cavalry movement, Gullveig can easily sweep through multiple foes and leave the remainder for her allies to clean up.

Her base kit's Flared Sparrow even assists both Gullveig and her allies by leaving behind 【Divine Vein (Flame)】 tiles to inflict pre-combat damage and hinder enemy movement.

Legendary Guinivere

Colorless		Colorless Tome		Infantry
Base Stats
Lv. 1	HP 15	Atk 23	Spd 12	Def 3	Res 12
Lv. 40	HP 37 (37)	Atk 53 (39)	Spd 45 (45)	Def 16 (16)	Res 40 (40)
Default Skills
： Radiant Aureola ：- ： Iceberg			： Spd/Res Finish 4 ： Null C-Disrupt 4 ： Bern's New Way ：-

Legendary Guinivere Builds and Best IVs

Legendary Guinivere is one of the best units in the game in dealing with enemy tome units.

Legendary Guinivere's exclusive weapon Radiant Aureola deals effective damage against foes wielding tomes, grants her Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 during combat, slows down her foe's Special charges, and disables adaptive damage dealt to herself.

More importantly, Radiant Aureola also grants Legendary Guinivere true damage and true damage reduction equal to 20% of her Res. This effect is present in other variants on other powerful heroes, such as Askr's Illuminating Horn or Brave Dimitri's refined Moon Gradivus.

She also has an exclusive C skill in Bern's New Way which heals Legendary Guinivere and all allies within 3 spaces of her 7 HP after combat while also granting Legendary Guinivere Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 during combat and extra Special cooldown charges per attack.

Default Skills
： Sparkling Sun ：- ： Moonbow			： Fireflood Boost 3 ： Mystic Boost 4 ： Everliving Domain ：-

Summer Ymir Builds and Best IVs

Summer Ymir is a hard-hitting colorless tome unit that can protect herself with her overall bulk and damage reduction effects.

Summer Ymir's exclusive weapon Sparkling Sun inflicts an Atk/Res penalty onto her foe equal to 6 + 30% of her HP at the start of combat (capped at 18) and grants her a guaranteed follow-up attack.

Sparkling Sun also grants Summer Ymir 75% damage reduction against area-of-effect Specials, 75% damage reduction against her foe's first attack if her foe can make a follow-up attack, and 10 HP post-combat healing to sustain her throughout multiple engagements.

Summer Ymir also comes with Everliving Domain which grants Def/Res+4 to nearby allies and provides a Joint Drive Miracle effect, protecting Summer Ymir and her nearby allies from falling to heavy nukers that deal massive damage in one hit.

Ascended Elincia

Colorless		Staff		Flying
Base Stats
Lv. 1	HP 16	Atk 25	Spd 15	Def 3	Res 4
Lv. 40	HP 38 (38)	Atk 58 (44)	Spd 45 (45)	Def 18 (18)	Res 28 (28)
Default Skills
： Crimean Scepter ： Rescue+ ： Light's Restraint			： Atk/Spd Push 4 ： Dazzling Shift ： Spd/Res Hold ：-

Ascended Elincia Builds and Best IVs

Ascended Elincia is an offensive Staff Flying unit with an optimized kit and stat spread.

Her exclusive Crimean Scepter which accelerates her Special trigger, grants Atk/Spd+6 as a visible bonus, and grants Atk/Spd+6 and an additional bonus to Atk/Spd equal to the highest respective Atk/Spd bonuses among Ascended Elincia and allies within 2 spaces of her x 1.5.

On top of these offensive effects, Crimean Scepter grants Atk/Spd+6 and a guaranteed follow-up attack when initiating combat to Ascended Elincia and allies within 2 spaces of herself.

Ascended Elincia also brings the second offensive Special for Staff units in Light's Restraint, after Valentine's Elise's Holy Pressure, and an upgraded Dazzling Staff 3 in Dazzling Shift.

She has amazing 44/45 offenses before any visible or in-combat bonuses, and after the effects of Crimean Scepter are applied, this can be increased even further.

All of these effects added up make Ascended Elincia one of the hardest hitting Staff units in the entire game.

Like Valentine's Elise, Ascended Elincia also has the advantage of coming out of the box with an optimal kit, removing the need for any significant investment.

Fallen Maria

Colorless		Staff		Infantry
Base Stats
Lv. 1	HP 15	Atk 25	Spd 15	Def 3	Res 7
Lv. 40	HP 37 (37)	Atk 58 (44)	Spd 45 (45)	Def 16 (16)	Res 35 (35)
Default Skills
： Sacrifice Staff ： Nudge+ ： Holy Panic			： Atk/Spd Unity ： Poetic Justice ： Even Recovery 3 ：-

Fallen Maria Builds and Best IVs

Fallen Maria is a fantastic support unit, especially in maps where your units are clumped up together.

Sacrifice Staff is one of Fallen Maria's best highlights. It is a meta-defining staff that helps one nearby ally survive dangerous combats and fully recover all missing HP after, similar to the defensive half of Legendary Fae's Life Unending. She only needs to be within two spaces for this effect to trigger.

With her powerful staff, she stands out as the best candidate for teams with save tanks and omnitanks, and for units with Vantage as their kit's foundation.

Halloween Flayn

Colorless		Staff		Cavalry
Base Stats
Lv. 1	HP 16	Atk 23	Spd 4	Def 3	Res 16
Lv. 40	HP 38 (38)	Atk 60 (46)	Spd 26 (26)	Def 18 (18)	Res 46 (46)
Default Skills
： Kitty-Cat Parasol ： Rescue+ ： Holy Pressure			： Atk/Res Unity ： Dazzle Far Trace ：- ：-

Halloween Flayn Builds and Best IVs

Halloween Flayn is a fantastic support unit that can provide both Special acceleration and damage reduction to nearby allies at the same time with Kitty-Cat Parasol.

Halloween Flayn's stat spread is also skewed heavily towards Atk and Res, allowing her to fulfill a secondary magic tank role if it becomes necessary. More importantly, Flayn's high Res stat can be enhanced with skills like Still Water 4 to reliably trigger Def/Res Ploy 3 and be a counter to Legendary Robin (M), a very common top tier metagame unit.

Fulfilling multiple supportive roles at the same time makes Halloween Flayn one of the best support units in the game.

Hortensia

Colorless		Staff		Flying
Base Stats
Lv. 1	HP 17	Atk 28	Spd 8	Def 3	Res 8
Lv. 40	HP 36 (36)	Atk 58 (44)	Spd 47 (47)	Def 16 (16)	Res 34 (34)
Default Skills
： Arcane Charmer ： Rescue+ ： Glitter of Light			： Atk/Spd Catch 4 ： Poetic Justice ： Glittering Anima ：-

Hortensia Builds and Best IVs

Hortensia is a flying staff unit capable of a wide range of buffs and debuffs to swing combat in her team's favor.

She comes with Arcane Charmer which restores 7 HP to all allies within 3 spaces of Hortensia after their own combat ends, granting sustain to the rest of Hortensia's team passively.

Offensively, Arcane Charmer grants Hortensia Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5, a guaranteed follow-up attack, Special cooldown charge +1 per attack, and a bonus 7 damage per attack. These effects all add up to make Hortensia an offensive threat capable of dealing significant damage in combat.

However, it is Hortensia's exclusive C skill Glittering Anima which separates her from the rest of the Staff fliers.

Glittering Anima grants a visible Atk/Spd+6 bonus, 【Canto (1)】, and a status effect that neutralizes penalties to herself and all allies within 3 spaces at the start of each turn. This effect is incredibly powerful, boosting offenses and granting post-combat mobility to your team, even to allies who otherwise cannot obtain Canto effects such as armored units.

Glittering Anima also inflicts a visble Spd/Res-6 penalty, 【Panic】, and 【Discord】 to the closest foe(s) to Hortensia and all foes within 3 spaces of those foes. This effect can be applied at any distance, making Hortensia viable at any point in battle.

Finally, Glittering Anima also grants Hortensia Atk/Spd+5 in combat and neutralizes effects that slow down her Special cooldown charges, allowing her to trigger her Special reliably.

Valentine's Elise Builds and Best IVs

Valentine's Elise is an offensive Staff Cavalry with an optimized kit and stat spread.

She brings the first offensive Special for Staff units in Holy Pressure, and an upgraded Wrathful Staff 3 in Poetic Justice.

Valentine's Elise has impressive 43/46 offenses, deals 15% of her foe's Atk as bonus damage through Poetic Justice, and can apply both Flash and 【Gravity】 onto multiple foes. Her Duo Skill also grants 【Dominance】 to herself and her nearby allies, while inflicting Def/Res-7 onto multiple foes.

Valentine's Elise also has the advantage of coming out of the box with an optimal kit, removing the need for any significant investment.
