Igrene Skills at 5★

Igrene Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (18) Normal HP ★★☆☆☆
Atk (21) Attack Boon ★★★★★
Spd (9) No Spd IV ★★★★☆
Def (5) Def Boon ★★★☆☆
Res (5) No Res IV ★★★☆☆

◯ = 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/-HP

The best IVs for Igrene are +Atk and -HP. A +Atk IV will help Igrene deal more damage to enemies, making it easier for her to take them out in one turn. Her HP stat is of less importance, so it is safe to take it as a bane.

+Spd for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Spd IV when merging Igrene to 10. At +10 Merges, Igrene's Atk will reach 66 which is more than enough to take out most units. At that point, it would be better to opt for a +Spd IV instead to help her take less follow-up attacks, and more importantly, allow her to make follow-up attacks on her own.

Igrene Best Builds

Brazen Push Igrene

HOT
Emblem Icon: -
Attuned Skill Icon: -

How to Use, Explanation

This is a rather simple build that replaces Life and Death 4 with Atk/Spd Push 4. The self-inflicted damage from this skill, allows for easy access to Brazen HP ranges. The C slot is very flexible! You can take something like Rouse Atk/Spd 3 if you do not have Joint Hone Spd.

Desperation Igrene

Special Skill IconMoonbow
Emblem Icon: -
Passive Skill B: -
Attuned Skill Icon: -

How to Use, Explanation

This is a Desperation set for Igrene. Since we replace Special Spiral 3 in the B slot with Desperation 3, it's best if you get something like Time's Pulse 3 to help supplement Guardian's Bow. Expect one-sided player phase matchups! Lots of enemies will take heavy damage, if not completely get taken out, from the Moonbow-boosted attacks from this setup.

Budget Igrene

Emblem Icon: -
Attuned Skill Icon: -

How to Use, Explanation

Igrene's initial kit is already complete! You can slap any assist skill, but Reposition is one of the standard choices. The SS slot is very flexible too! In the case of Quickened Pulse, it allows Igrene to trigger Blazing Thunder or Blazing Wind, at the first turn as it fully stacks with Special Spiral 3 and Guardian's Bow.

Igrene Best Weapon Refine

Effect of Igrene's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
SP: 400
Might: 14 Range: 2 HP:
Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). Effective against flying foes. If unit initiates combat or unit's Spd ≥ foe's Spd-7 at start of combat, inflicts Atk/Spd/Def-5 on foe and reduces damage from foe's first attack by 30% during combat.
At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 to unit, deals damage = 10% of unit's Spd (including when dealing damage with a Special triggered before combat), neutralizes effects that inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on unit, and neutralizes foe's bonuses to Spd/Def (from skills like Fortify, Rally, etc.) during combat.
Arena Medal:500 Divine Dew:200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Guardian's Bow

The new special effect refine for Guardian's Bow greatly improves Igrene's role as an AoE user with the additional 10% damage and Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 stat buff. It also helps her prevent enemies from inflicting special cooldown charges on her which effectively allows her to use her AoE special at all times.

Igrene is a ranged physical attacker (range = 2). 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.

Igrene Strengths

One of the Few Red Bows

Igrene is one of the few red bow units in Fire Emblem Heroes (the first one to appear in the game in fact). She is similar to a red dagger unit, but instead of having access to debuffs, she is instead strong against flying units. These unique traits allows her to fill specific niches in your team.

Special Spiral Reduces Special Cooldown Count

Special Spiral 3 grants cooldown count -2 every time Igrene's special triggers. This allows Igrene to activate Blazing Wind more frequently. If you choose to use a low cooldown special such as Moonbow, you can dish out a lot of damage in the course of just a few phases.

Pulse Smoke Delays Enemy Special Cooldown

Pulse Smoke 3 inflicts special cooldown count +1 on the target and all foes within 2 spaces of said foe. It is a powerful skill as it affects a big area. This makes Igrene a direct counter to teams relying on skills such as Infantry Pulse.

Igrene's ranged attack allows her to land Pulse Smoke 3 in ideal spots.

Igrene Weaknesses

Low Defensive Performance

Igrene has very low defensive stats. This is because her base kit utilizes Life and Death 4 which further hurts her already low defenses in exchange for Atk and Spd, effectively making her into a glass cannon. When attacking with Igrene, make sure that she does not take counterattacks, and if possible, pull her back to safety using assist skills of your choice.

Value of Skills ★★★★★

Inheriting Pulse Smoke 3 and Life and Death 4

Igrene can be used to inherit the skills Pulse Smoke 3 and Life and Death 4. Both these are rare skills, so think carefully who you fodder them off too. Additionally, Igrene a powerul and rare red bow unit, is a solid option for a ranged physical unit. We recommend building and investing in her instead.

Ahh, the good ol' "8.5, S, S" rating. Is that better or worse than a "9.0, A, A" rating? 🤦🏼‍♂️
