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.

+Spd/-HP

The best IVs for Hilda are +Spd and -HP. A higher Spd stat allows Hilda to get a ton of follow-up attacks on her foes. It also protects her from hostile follow-up attacks. Her Res is of less importance and thus safe to be taken as a bane.

+Spd for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Spd IV when merging Hilda to 10. This is for the same reasons as above. With this IV, Hilda can reach 44 Spd you prefer relying on skills to increase Hilda's Spd, you can go for a +Atk IV instead.

Hilda Best Weapon Refine

Effect of Hilda's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
Freikugel	SP: 400
Might: 16　Range: 1　HP: 3 Grants Spd+3. At start of combat, for allies within 2 spaces of unit, if the ally has Def > unit's Def or if unit has not entered combat during the current phase, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 to those allies during combat and foe cannot make a follow-up attack. At start of unit's combat, if unit is not within 2 spaces of any allies with Def > unit's Def or if unit is not adjacent to an ally, grants Atk/Spd+6 to unit during combat and deals damage = 10% of unit's Spd (excluding area-of-effect Specials). At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Atk/Spd+5 to unit and reduces damage from foe's first attack by 40% during combat. ：500　：200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Freikugel

Refined Freikugel grants bonus Atk/Spd during combat and 40% damage reduction on the foe's first attack.

This refine isn't the most exciting, but it is still better than all the other options Hilda has.

Hilda Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Hilda Roles

Hilda - Idle Maiden 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

Hilda 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.

Hilda Strengths

Freikugel grants either a team buff or a huge buff to Hilda

Depending on the trigger conditions, Freikugel will either buff Hilda's allies by +4 Atk/Spd or grant her +6 Atk/Spd. This means that Hilda can be a support unit or a main offensive option. If she is your main offensive option and you choose to rock her base kit, know that Atk Spd Solo 3's trigger conditions is very compatible with Freikugel's. To make it work, have the ally be 1 space away from Hilda. This way, you still satisfy Freikugel's trigger conditions while qualifying for Atk Spd Solo's requirements.

Accessible Atk/Spd buff

Hilda's A skill, Atk/Spd Solo 3, grants her +6 Atk/Spd in combat if she is not adjacent to an ally. This is a huge boost considering the very simple trigger condition. This completely stacks with the effects of Freikugel and they have very compatible trigger conditions so Hilda can easily get a +12 Atk/Spd boost if you pay attention to her skills' trigger conditions.

If you can afford to do so, you can inherit Atk/Spd Solo 4 onto her!

Null Follow-up Prevents Enemy Follow-up Attacks and Ensures Hilda's Follow-up Attacks

Null Follow Up 3 neutralizes effects that guarantee enemy follow-up attacks on Hilda and effects that prevent Hilda from executing follow-up attacks. This makes Hilda a great counter for units like Tibarn and those with Bold Fighter or Wary Fighter.

Hilda Weaknesses

Low Res

Hilda's Res only sits at 23 at Lv.40. This makes it easy for magic users to take her out. Be mindful of Hilda's positioning in relation to magical units that can easily take her out.

Hilda as a Source Hero

Value of Skills	★★★★★

Inheriting Atk/Spd Solo 3 and Null Follow-Up 3

Hilda can be used to inherit the skills Atk/Spd Solo 3 or Null Follow-Up 3. However she is a very solid and powerful hero. She is a good candidate for a main axe unit. Please think carefully before fodderring her off.
