>>104 Yeah, I guess at 30 Res from his weapon and having to spend an A skill on countering from distance it would be too low. What about an expensive build for Legendary Nanna with Surge Sparrow as her A skill? It would be an upgrade over Atk/Spd Push 4 that would heal her instead of removng health. Would mainly be useful for some with extra fodder like a spare Brave Eirika.

>>103 His Res is too low to be a reliable Far Save unit.

I notice Zephiel's only build recommendation is for Near Save but since his refined weapon gives a Distant Def effect it would make more sense for him to be a Far Save unit.

Riev for some reason is not working well in Aether Raids Defense. Contrary to the description for Argent Aura, only one enemy is targeted along with those within 2 spaces, not multiple enemies. And the skill often doesn't activate in Aether Raids at all for some reason. I boosted Riev to 58 HP with both Sudden Panic and Panic Ploy but his debuffs often fail to take effect. I see now why he is only an 8.5, if his weapon worked as described he would be much better.

Here is an Aether Raids Defense build for Riev to consider including: W: Argent Aura A: HP +5 B: Sudden Panic 3 C: Panic Ploy 3 Seal: HP +5 I don't mention Special/Assist because I designed Riev to be stuck in a corner and stay out of trouble debuffing/penalizing the enemy team to help BHector/AIdunn/Elimine/Nifl weather attacks. Argent Aura with Panic skills debuffs enemies 5 to all stats, stalls them, and converts bonuses to penalties in two ways while boosting HP to pass checks.

ignore the stats in Combat, i copy pasted it from a notepad. it originally had the stats then i showed off how amped they get & the total. example Atk: 68+6+10 = 84

Okay this is more of like a Dream Peak Build, Summoner Bond, Dragon Flowers, Trait, +10 all that. Tell me what ya Think? Ephraim Stats In Combat Hp: 60 Atk: 68 Spd: 35 Def: 43 Res: 30 Flame Siegmund Reposition Dragon Fang A: Close Def 4 B: Null Follow up C: Atk/Def Menace S: Atk/Def Solo

>>97 Oh alright, thanks. I guess I will have to consider a different B skill for SLeif then.

>>96 Special Fighter, and all the "Fighter" skills, are exclusive to armored units.

Speaking of which, I would suggest changing Scion Leif's build to Atk/Def Menace for his C Skill and Special Fighter for his B skill. I am having good success using him in Aether Raids Defense right now with AIdunn, BHector, Elimine, Nifl, FEdelgard, and Otr, and am trying to upgrade him a bit. I am planning to pair him up with LSigurd and LEliwood eventually so his Duo skill can supercharge a boosted LSigurd. Right now his Njorun's Zeal works like a quick-acting Galeforce.

>>93 Additionnaly, Atk/Def Menace will allow Henry to deal 12 true damage if he use Carrot-Tip Bow, and inflict Atk/Def-11 on the foe with a Plegian Bow

>>92 93's comments are spot-on. Atk/Def Catch is also on the new Divine Codes.

>>92 It could be good, but Close Foil works in enemy phase and Canto in player phase. If you want to make him work in both phases, it can work, but a Catch skill would also be a good option along with Atk/Def Menace

Hey all, I'm building a +10 Spring Henry. So far I've got Close Foil and Atk/Def Far Trace, and I'm planning on eventually getting the Fallen Female Morgan Combat Manuel to give him Atk/Def Menace. Does this sound like a good build, or should I switch Close Foil for something more general?

Skills that use debuffs to transform them as buffs, like Unity skills, do not work when another skill neutralizes the debuffs, like Bonus Doubler and Lull skills

Although come to think of it AIdunn already nullifies penalties through her weapon. Still, if Unity took effect on the penalties it could be worth it. I don't know all the possible skill impacts on penalty reversals to know if it's definitely worth it or not. I guess the question is whether the cooldown charge change is worth the debuff counter.

I recommend changing AIdunn builds for the A skill from Sturdy Stance to Atk/Def Unity to counteract and reverse debuffs. A/D Unity is in all ways a better skill that protects AIdunn's crucial Atk/Def stats from debuffing. I'm not sure but I think it might even counteract the dangerous Panic Manor in Aether Raids Defense.

I wonder if there was an update, now I can use both AIdunn and BHector in Arena. One of the Valentine banners was loaded with save units, I got VLucina, VRobin, and 2 VHenriettes, although I was hoping for VGustav. I rely on Elimine and Nifl to buff BHector/AIdunn for virtually all modes, and Earthfire Balm+ really helps along with the Distant Guard 3 seal.

>>86 Miracle shouldn't be used in Arena because it only has a 200 SP cost and will score low. If using healers in Arena, they should use Balm+ skills which have a higher SP cost. Also, not everyone has both Near and Far Save in their barracks, although they soon will due to Divine Codes 3. There's nothing wrong with using Balm+ skills, it's up to preference. Perhaps the writers saw the weakness to Panic effects and used Miracle instead of Balm+.

So again, maybe you prioritize Miracle if just fighting Arena, but if in Summoner Duels, Aether raids, Grand Conquests, Mjolnir's Strike, or Tempest Trials where you can I believe use both Near and Far Save Units, I'd expect Earthfire Balm + to be the better choice. I think Miracle should be specific to Arena builds, not general use.

>>84 Miracle just keeps a unit alive with 1 hp if they would be otherwise KOd. But since Elimine is typically needed to buff units like BHector, AIdunn, VGustav, VLucina, VRobin, etc., it doesn't make as much sense to use Miracle as a team buff to buff Near Save/Far Save teammates. Maybe if you're in a mode like Arena where you can only use BHector, but if in S Duels with AIdunn too, makes more sense to use Earthfire Balm +. https://game8.co/games/fire-emblem-heroes/archives/266044

I believe the main reason for having Miracle is to prevent those Specials in the first place. Unless your main hero has penalty negation like Brave Hector or Ascended Idunn, the buffs from the Balm Specials are prone to getting hit by a stray Panic Manor, Panic Smoke, or similar effects.

I was also toying with the idea of giving Elimine a different B skill like Chill Atk/Def 2 instead of canto, but the canto works well with her nudge skill so I'm holding off for right now. Because she will typically be protected by Near/Far Save units, I think a skill that boosts allies like Earthbalm+ is better than Miracle.

And importantly Earthfire Balm+ has no range restriction, so affected Aether Raids defenders running amok can benefit from it regardless of map location. To me it seems the better choice instead of Miracle

I don't really see the point of having Miracle on Elimine as it takes a long to charge up for (5 cooldown) and she will generally be supporting wall units like BHector or AIdunn (both of whom I'm using right now). Earthfire Balm+ seems much more useful. It activates instantly and greatly improves offense/defense of teammates ensuring they withstand physical attacks both near and far, while boosting their firepower to ensure attackers don't get second chances.

I'm suggesting a support build for Elimine as follows: Staff of the Saint Nudge + Earthfire Balm + Atk/Res Push 4 A/S Far Trace 3 Holy Ground Distant Guard 3 Only change is Earthfire Balm + to add Atk/Def+6 to all allies when healing (I inherited from Silque). This makes Elimine an ultimate support option for Brave Hector and Ascended Idunn, as both Near and Far Save benefit from the Atk/Def boost. As an aside, such a build should be popular for captain role to support friends.

I came across an Ishtar in Aether Raids with 80 base attack and 71 buffed speed running a Ruptured Sky build variant, although they used 20 dragonflowers and 5 merges. https://youtu.be/wDQBbczfQXA

>>74 This is a good idea that makes a lot of sense. We've added a Near Trace build to his page. Thanks for the suggestion!

>>75 We have a similar build on her article; the only difference is Lull Atk/Res over A/R Far Trace. Double Life and Death is a tried and tested build on her to maximize Gifted Magic AoE damage.
