Masquerade Sigurd's Duo Skill Effect

Duo Skill

Moves allies adjacent to unit to opposite side of unit. If an ally cannot move to the target space (if another ally or foe is occupying the space) ally will not move. Once used, Duo Skill cannot be activated again. At start of odd-numbered turns, if Duo Skill has already been used, unit can use Duo Skill again. (Duo Skills can be used once per map by tapping the Duo button. Duo Skills cannot be used by units deployed using Pair Up.)

Standard Effect 1

Duel
If unit is 5★ and level 40 and unit's stats total less than 185, treats unit's stats as 185 in modes like Arena. (Higher-scoring opponents will appear. Stat total calculation excludes any values added by merges and skills.)

Masquerade Sigurd Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (16)		★★★☆☆
Atk (25)		★★★★★
Spd (3)		★★☆☆☆
Def (3)		★★★☆☆
Res (7)		★★★★☆

◯ = 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/-Spd

The best IVs for Masquerade Sigurd are +Atk and -Spd. A +Atk IV makes it easier for him to take out foes with his high Atk stat. Additionally, his Atk is a superboon so you should take advantage of it as much as possible. His Spd is quite low, very unreliable and it is not really important for him so it is safe to take as a bane.

+Atk for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Atk IV when merging Masquerade Sigurd to 10. This is for the same reasons as above. At this point, not only Sigurd will be a reliable support unit, he can also take out a wide variety of units as well!

Masquerade Sigurd Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Masquerade Sigurd Roles

Sigurd - Destined Duo 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

Masequerade Sigurd is a ranged magic attacker (range = 2). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage he deals will be equivalent to his Atk minus the foe's Res stat.

Duo Skill Available!

Masquerade Sigurd's Duo Skill raises his arena score, in addition to a useful movement-assist effect. Duo Heroes have a Duo Skill which can be used without performing an action. Additionally, his Duel effect treats her stats as 185 in Arena modes, giving him a huge advantage over many other heroes.

The effect of Sigurd's Duo Skill is shown below

Upon activation, Arden moved from the forest-filled right-most tile to his current position. Jamke on the other hand, moved from the north forest tile to his current position. Take note that this will not work when the target tile cannot be occupied by target unit.

This duo skill simply repositions allies that are adjacent to him to the tile opposite to them in relation to Eldigan. See it as a double Reposition skill. It may look simple, but this skill provides so much utility especially considering that Masquerade Sigurd already has access to a refresher-assist skill.

You can read the in-game text for Masquerade Sigurd's duo skill and the duel component in this section! While the duel component is an arena-exclusive effect, the duo skill itself is usable anywhere.

Masquerade Sigurd Strengths

Refresher-assist unit with high mobility

Masquerade Sigurd is the first cavalry unit in the game to have access to a refresher-assist skill in Dance. The only refresher-assist units that can match this mobility are the flying beast refresher-assist units like Reyson and Leanne. Although those two might have trouble in mixed teams as it disables their beast movement. This unique characteristic allows Sigurd to be effective in filling-in specific niches in your lineups.

Reposition-like duo skill

Sigurd has another characteristic that other refresher-assist units do not have, access to a movement-assist skill. This is accessible through his duo skill. Take note that using his duo skill does not consume an action so you can both reposition allies and use Dance on them in the same phase. You can read more about his duo skill above.

Weapon halves magic damage

If a foe initiates combat, Gilt Goblet grants +6 Atk/Res to Sigurd. It also reduces the damage from attacks and area-of-effect specials by 50% if the enemy is a magic user. These 2 effects can also be activated in the player phase if the enemy's HP is at 100%.

Gilt Goblet combined with Atk/Res Bond 4, Joint Hone Res and Lull Atk/Res 3, Sigurd becomes a major threat to enemy magic units.

Masquerade Sigurd Weaknesses

Low Spd and Def

Sigurd's Spd and Def sit at 18 and 16 respectively. This makes him very vulnerable to physical units. Use his high mobility to keep him away from units that can easily take him out.

Weak to Cavalry Effective Weapons

Masquerade Sigurd takes 1.5x damage from cavalry-effective weapons like Ridersbane, and one blow from this type of weapon is sure to take her down. Make sure you know what weapons you are up against before hopping too far into the line of battle!

Masquerade Sigurd Team and Counters

Teammates for Masquerade Sigurd

Legendary Eliwood	Reginn	Valentine's Líf	Reinhardt
Ingrid	Plegian Kris (M)	Brave Lyn	Legendary Leif

Flexible Unit That Can Fit in Any Team

Legendary 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.

Cavalry Teams

As a cavalry unit, Masquerade Sigurd will do well in all-cavalry teams, as he is the only cavalry dancer currently in the game.

Masquerade Sigurd Counters

Brave Hector	Reinhardt	Legendary Dimitri	Seiros
Eir	Brave Lyn	Ninja Lyn	Spring Myrrh

Heroes with Cavalry-Effective Weapons

As a cavalry unit, Masquerade Sigurd is weak to weapons that are effective against cavalry.

There are many weapons that are effective against cavalry units in the game, so take care and don't let him get attacked!

Hard-Hitting, Bulky Heroes

Bulky units can take care of Masquerade Sigurd as they can either counter using a Distant Counter effect or by surviving an attack and defeating them in the Player Phase.

Seiros, Spring Myrrh, and Legendary Dimitri can reduce damage, while Brave Hector can survive through his sheer bulk.

Ranged Physical Units

Masquerade Sigurd possesses low Def so units that deal physical damage and can attack from a distance can defeat him easily and can retreat to safety.

Units with brave weapons like Ninja Lyn or Gordin work very well, but you can also use other units like Eir and Brave Lyn.

Value of Skills	★★★★★

Inheriting Lull Atk/Res 3 and Joint Hone Atk

Masquerade Sigurd can be used to inherit the skills Lull Atk/Res 3 or Atk/Res Bond 4. However, Masquerade Sigurd is a very versatile special duo hero that can provide lots of utility for your lineups. Please think carefully before fodderring him off.
