(Triggers even if 0 damage is dealt.) |

|
Grants HP+5, Atk/Spd/Def/Res+2. If unit is 5★, level 40, a Legendary or a Mythic Hero, and unit's stats total less than 175, treats unit's stats as 175 in modes like Arena. If unit is 5★, level 40, not a Legendary or a Mythic Hero, and unit's stats total less than 180, treats unit's stats as 180 in modes like Arena. (Higher-scoring opponents will appear.

Marianne Best IVs
Recommended IVs

|---|---|---|
| HP (17) |

★★★☆☆ |
| Atk (28) |
|
★★★★★ |
| Spd (8) |

★★★☆☆ |
| Def (4) |

★★☆☆☆ |
| Res (9) |
|
★★★☆☆ |
◯ = 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.
+Res/-Def
The best IVs for Marianne are +Atk/-Def.
Res is the basis for refined Icy Fimbulvetr's penalties, bonus true damage and stat debuffs applied to Marianne's foe.
Due to Res affecting Marianne's performance both offensively and defensively, it is preferred over Atk.
+Res for a +10 Merge
We recommend a +Res IV when merging Marianne up to +10 to improve her damage output, overall bulk, and possibly even support depending on her equipped skills.

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Icy Fimbulvetr
Refined Icy Fimbulvetr grants Marianne 【Canto (2)】 if she has an ally that is either a dragon, beast, cavalry or flying, inflicts Atk/Res-7, 【Exposure】, and 【Guard】 onto multiple foes at the start of each phase, inflicts stat penalties on Marianne's foe during combat, grants Marianne bonus true damage, a guaranteed follow-up attack, and healing per attack, and allows her to use 【Sing/Dance】 during Canto.
This is a fantastic all-around refine that improves offense, defense, and support.

Marianne Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses
Marianne Roles
Marianne is a ranged magic 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 Res stat.
Marianne Strengths
Icy Fimbulvetr is a great all-around skill
Refined Icy Fimbulvetr grants Marianne 【Canto (2)】 if she has an ally that is either a dragon, beast, cavalry or flying. It shouldn't be too difficult to find room for one of these units in order to provide Marianne extra mobility in the form of Canto.
At the start of player and enemy phase, refined Icy Fimbulvetr also inflicts Atk/Res-7, 【Exposure】, and 【Guard】 on foes with Res < Marianne's Res and that are within 2 spaces of another foe.
In combat, refined Icy Fimbulvetr inflicts Atk/Res-6, Spd-5, and an additional Atk/Spd/Res penalty equal to 10% of Marianne's Res to her foe, grants Marianne a guaranteed follow-up attack and bonus true damage equal to 20% of Marianne's Res, and 7 HP healing for each of Marianne's attacks.
More importantly, when Canto triggers, Marianne can use 【Sing/Dance】 to refresh an ally's action. This effect is not treated as an assist or a refresher skill, allowing Marianne to refresh turns of any ally, even other refresher units. This is the key part of Marianne's weapon refine and opens up more opportunities than the other effects granted by refining Icy Fimbulvetr.
Marianne Weaknesses
Reliant on being in mixed teams
To maximize refined Icy Fimbulvetr, Marianne needs to be on a team with at least one hero that is either a dragon, a beast, a cavalry hero, or a flying hero.
This can impact teambuilding, but due to the flexible nature of the requirements, it shouldn't be too hard to find room for one of these unit types on the team.
B Duel Infantry 4 is mainly for scoring purposes
While B Duel Infantry 4 does give some nice stats, the A skill can be home to very powerful skills that are cornerstones for great builds. If you plan to use Marianne outside of the Arena, make sure to get her an A skill that allows her to perform better in combat.
