Brave Dimitri Skills at 5★

Moon Gradivus Might: 16　 Range: 1 Unit can counterattack regardless of foe's range. Grants Special cooldown charge +1 per foe's attack during combat. (Only highest value applied. Does not stack. Special cooldown charge granted even if foe's attack deals 0 damage.)

Noontime Cooldown Count = 2 Restores HP = 30% of damage dealt.

Atk/Def Unity If unit is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Def +5 and bonus to Atk/Def during combat = current penalty on each of those stats x 2. (Example: If unit has -7 penalty to Atk, grants Atk +19, for a net bonus of Atk +12) Calculates each stat bonus independently.

Blue Lion Rule If unit's Def > foe's Def, reduces damage from attacks during combat and from area-of-effect Specials (excluding Røkkr area-of- effect Specials) by percentage = difference between stats × 4 (max 40%), and also if foe initiates combat, unit makes a guaranteed follow-up attack.

Joint Hone Atk At start of turn, if unit is adjacent to an ally, grants Atk+5 to unit and adjacent allies for 1 turn.

Brave Dimitri Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (19)		★★★☆☆
Atk (26)		★★★★☆
Spd (8)		★★★☆☆
Def (10)		★★★★★
Res (6)		★★★☆☆

◯ = Stat gains +4 with a superboon, ✕= Stat goes down by -4 with a superbane, - = No assets or flaws

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.

+Def/-Res

The best IVs for Brave Dimitri are +Def and -Res. A +Def boon allows him to survive blows even from powerful green units. Tanking attacks from green units means that Dimitri can deal with a ton of units in the game. Blue Lion Rule also relies on Def to activate so you should increase Dimitri's Def as much as possible.

His Res is below average and he will be reducing damage through refined Moon Gradivus and Blue Lion Rule either way. Thus, it is a safe bane to take.

+Spd for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Spd IV when merging Brave Dimitri to 10. At +10 Merges, Dimitri's Def will reach such high levels that pushing it up higher is a waste, so it is best to take a Spd IV instead as it will boost Dimitri's durability through making him less susceptible to follow-up attacks.

Brave Dimitri Best Weapon Refine

Effect of Brave Dimitri's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
Moon Gradivus	SP: 400
Might: 16　Range: 1　HP: 3 Unit can counterattack regardless of foe's range. Grants Special cooldown charge +1 per foe's attack during combat. (Only highest value applied. Does not stack. Special cooldown charge granted even if foe's attack deals 0 damage.) If unit is within 3 spaces of an ally, grants Spd/Def/Res+5 to unit during combat, deals damage = 20% of unit's Def, reduces damage from foe's attacks by 20% of unit's Def (excluding area-of-effect Specials), inflicts Def-5 on foe during combat, and neutralizes foe's bonuses to Atk/Def (from skills like Fortify, Rally, etc.). ：500　：200

We heavily recommend the Special Effect Refine for Moon Gradivus

Refined Moon Gradivus gives Spd/Def/Res buffs, true damage and true damage reduction equal to 20% of Brave Dimitri's Def, a Def-5 penalty onto the foe, and bonus neutralization.

These effects make Brave Dimitri a very sturdy tank on par with the strongest physical walls in the game. True damage reduction is a very powerful effect also found on Askr and Spring Maria; this effect is unmatched in its ability to ensure Brave Dimitri's survival.

This refine takes Brave Dimitri from obscurity and makes him a top tier unit. Refine his Moon Gradivus, you won't regret it.

Brave Dimitri Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Brave Dimitri Roles

Dimitri - King of Faerghus 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

Brave Dimitri is a close physical attacker (range = 1). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage he deals will be equivalent to his Atk minus the foe's Def stat.

Brave Dimitri Strengths

Weapon skill synergizes well with Noontime

Moon Gradivus grants special cooldown charge +1 per foe's attack during combat. It has Distant Counter built-in which speeds up special activation as well because it increases the number of attacks Brave Dimitri throws. Since Noontime is already equipped with a very low special cooldown, Dimitri will be throwing heals left and right! Both these skills synergize to make him a great dual-phase unit that has great sustain, durability and offenses.

Blue Lion Rule, his B skill guarantees him follow-up attacks which further helps this Moon Gradivus-Noontime synergy! It is discussed below.

Neutralizes debuffs to Atk/Def and grants buffs to it

If Dimitri is within 2 spaces of an ally, Atk/Def Unity grants him +5 Atk/Def and converts penalties on Atk/Def and turns them into bonuses. It is a pretty simple trigger condition and it is almost impossible to have trouble keeping it online.

This makes Brave Dimitri an effective unit in Aether Raids because debuffs are very common in that game mode. The more debuffs Dimitri gets, the stronger and bulkier he becomes.

Blue Lion Rule makes Def a more effective stat

Brave Dimitri's B skill, Blue Lion Rule reduces the damage Dimitri takes if his Def is greater than foe's. This synergizes well with Atk/Def Unity as it improves his Def even more. It also guarantees him follow-up attacks in the enemy phase if his Def is greater than his foe's.

Most of the time, Dimitri will have greater Def than most magic attackers that will attack him so having a high Def helps his survivability against magic units as well.

Brave Dimitri Weaknesses

Low Res

Brave Dimitri's Res only sits at 18 at Lv.40. This makes it easy for magic users to take him out. Be mindful of Dimitri's positioning in relation to magical units that can easily take him out.

Brave Dimitri Team and Counters

Teammates for Brave Dimitri

Ayra	Legendary Eliwood	Mirabilis	Legendary Azura
Peony	Brave Dimitri	New Year Peony	Eir

Flexible Unit That Can Fit in Any Team

Brave Dimitri can fit in a wide variety of teams as he can mostly take care of himself.

He can be paired with those that can boost his firepower even more, like Legendary Eliwood's Bonus Doubler effect on his Ardent Durandal or any of the dancers above.

Brave Dimitri Counters

Brave Hector	Cecilia	Brave Ike	Legendary Celica
Legendary Edelgard	Brave Edelgard	Shamir	Ninja Hana

Despite being an extremely powerful unit, Brave Dimitri does face difficulty against these certain units.

He will struggle against tanky green units like Brave Ike or either Brave or Legendary Edelgard as he is already at a weapon triangle-disadvantage against them.

Cecilia with a Triangle Adept build should prove effective against him, while Legendary Celica can defeat him through pure firepower.

Do note, however, that their effectiveness will vary from how you build them, if they're merged up, as well as how invested the opponent's Brave Dimitri is.
