Twin Blades Cooldown Count = 2 Boosts damage by 40% of unit's Res. Disables non-Special skills that "reduce damage by X%."

Ashera's Chosen+ Neutralizes "effective against flying" bonuses. If unit is adjacent to only beast or dragon allies, if unit is not adjacent to any ally, or if foe's HP ≥ 75% at start of combat, grants Atk/Def/Res+9 to unit during combat, and also, if unit's Res > foe's Res, deals damage = 70% of the difference between stats (max 7) and reduces damage from attacks during combat and from area-of-effect Specials by percentage = difference between stats x 4 (max 40%).

Vantage 3 If unit's HP ≤ 75% and foe initiates combat, unit can counterattack before foe's first attack.

Atk/Def Hold Inflicts Atk/Def-4 on foes within 3 spaces during combat.

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

Altina's best IVs are +Atk and -Spd. With her low Spd of only 20, Altina does not get follow-up attacks this way, but instead relies on her exclusive weapon, which always grants her an extra attack. Since this is the case, the ideal stat to maximize would be Atk, so that you can increase her damage output.

+Atk for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Atk IV when merging Altina to 10. This is for the same reasons as above! Atk is Altina's bread and butter, offense and defense!

Altina Best Builds

General Use / Budget Altina

： Ragnell·Alondite ： Reposition ： Twin Blades ： -

： Ashera's Chosen+ ： Vantage 3 ： Atk/Def Hold ： Brazen Atk/Def 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

This is the basic build for Altina with some slight improvements. All of her default skills are excellent, so she can be ready for battle with the addition of an assist skill and seal. When her damage has decreased, the effects of Brazen and Vantage will trigger, enabling her to counterattack with a heavy blow before a foe can even strike, and increasing her effectiveness during enemy phase.

Altina Best Weapon Refine

Effect of Altina's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
Ragnell·Alondite	SP: 400
Might: 16　Range: 1　HP: 3 Unit can counterattack regardless of foe's range. Inflicts Spd-5. Unit attacks twice (even if foe initiates combat). If foe initiates combat or if foe's HP ≥ 75% at start of combat, grants Atk/Res+5 to unit during combat and Special cooldown charge +1 to unit per attack (only highest value applied; does not stack), and neutralizes bonuses on foe's Atk/Def during combat. ：500　：200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Ragnell·Alondite

Refined Ragnell·Alondite grants Atk/Res+5 and Special cooldown charge acceleration during combat and also neutralizes foe's bonuses to Atk and Def.

This refine provides additional offensive firepower with the stat swings and the Special cooldown charge acceleration ensures that Altina can activate Twin Blades in every combat.

Altina Roles

Altina - Dawn's Trueblade 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

Altina is a close ranged physical attack phase unit. 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.

A Mythic Hero who can boost allies' HP and Atk

Eff.	Atk+3	Spd+4	Def+5	Res+5

Altina is a Mythic Hero, and when summoned, you will receive an Astra Blessing. During Astra Season, allies who have been given an Astra Blessing and appear together with Altina in batlle will receive a HP+5 and Atk+3 bonus to their stats, increasing the party's overall power.

Altina Strengths

Exclusive weapon that can counter at any range and attack twice

Altina's weapon Ragnell·Alondite is not just another Distant Counter-built in weapon, but it also lets her attack twice even when the foe initiates combat. Therefore, she is capable of dealing massive damage both when initiating combat and when defending.

Exclusive skill nullifes damage reduction skills

Altina's Special Skill Twin Blades will boost damage by 40% of the foe's Res stat, and nullify any non-special skill that reduces the damage a unit takes. In particular, this will be good against weapon skills like the refined form of Urvan held by Brave Ike, who is commonly used in Aether Raids.

Exclusive skill nullifies flying effective bonuses and boosts her stats

Altina's other exclusive skill Ashera's Chosen+ will nullify bonuses that are effective on flying units. Ragnell·Alondite lets her counterattack ranged foes, so this skill is excellent when paired together with a flying type team.

Additionally, if Altina is only around Beast/Dragon allies (or no allies), or if her foe has HP ≥ 75% at start of combat, she will gain Atk/Def/Res+9 during combat, deal bonus damage equal to 70% of the difference between her Res stat and her foe's Res stat, and grant Res percentage-based damage reduction up to 40%.

These effects make Altina a valuable combat-oriented Mythic hero.

Altina Weaknesses

Very low Spd

With her subpar Spd stat, Altina is very prone to taking follow-up attacks. When threatened with multiple attacks in a row from foes, it will be better to play defensively and avoid their attacks instead of trying to tank them.

Altina Team and Counters

Teammates for Altina

Plumeria	Brave Celica	Mirabilis	Naga
Peony	Flying Nino	Fallen Lyon	Triandra

Refresher-assist supports that can help her deal more damage

Altina is mainly an offensive unit so those that grant her additional actions, and increase the damage she deals are great compliments to her. The Álfr are great examples of these.

Magical powerhouses, preferably those who are strong against blue units

Altina needs a partner to cover foes whom she will have trouble dealing with as a red physical unit. Flying Nino, Brave Celica, and Fallen Lyon are good choices.

Naga

Naga shares the same season Aether Raids season with Altina, plus she is a magical blue unit who can cover some matchups for her. Additionally, she carries the exclusive Divine Fang that grants Altina valuable dragon-effective damage.

Altina Counters

Hoshidan Summer Micaiah	Summer Byleth (F)	Ophelia	Reinhardt
Roderick	Cynthia	Brave Hector	Díthorba

Hoshidan Summer Micaiah

This Micaiah alt has access to Dawn Suzu which disables Vantage 3 allowing for easy hits on Altina.

High-powered blue units

The blue units listed above can take out Altina in one phase. If you can take her out before she can take advantage of Vantage 3, that would be ideal as her attacks coupled with Vantage is her main defense mechanism. You don't need very fast units to take her out as her Spd is very low.

Firesweepers, Windsweepers

Altina cannot proc Vantage on units she cannot land a counterattack on. This makes sweepers like Díthorba a counter to her. A unit like Summer Byleth (F) can be a counter too as she commonly runs Windsweep 3.

Hardy Bearing Sacred Seal

Hardy Bearing 3

This is for the same reason that Hoshidan Summer Micaiah is in this list. This useful, flexible Sacred Seal can be slapped onto any unit to neutralize the effects of Vantage.

Altina as a Source Hero

Value of Skills	★★★☆☆

Inheriting Atk/Def Hold

Altina can be used to inherit the skill Atk/Def Hold. Her other skills are either commonly found elsewhere or not worth inheriting.

However, Altina is an Astra-type Mythic Hero who can give you a bonus unit in Aether Raids, so we would recommend that you train at least one before foddering off any duplicates.
