Reinhardt is an extremely powerful tome user that can clear a lot of maps in the game and he can be easily merged due to his availability at 4★ and 3★.

Check Reinhardt's IVs

Reinhardt's weapon allows him to attack twice, so he benefits from having high attack.

When you do pull him through the regular summoning pool, check his IVs. Ideally you want him as +atk to build him optimally.

If you pull him at 4★ or 3★, be sure to unlock his potential and raise him to a 5★!

What You Need to Build the Best Team

Example of Final Builds

Unit	Build
Reginn	: Lyngheiðr : Reposition (Skill Inheritance) : Seiðr Shell	: Swift Sparrow 3 : Lull Spd/Def 3 : Panic Smoke 3 : Atk/Spd Solo 3
Reinhardt	: Dire Thunder : Reposition (Skill Inheritance) : Luna (Skill Inheritance)	: Death Blow 3 (Skill Inheritance) : Lancebreaker 3 (Skill Inheritance) : Goad Cavalry : Death Blow 3
Peony	: Flower of Joy : Gentle Dream : Moonbow (Skill Inheritance)	: B Duel Flying 3 : Aerobatics 3 : Fortify Res 4 : Atk Tactic 3
Brave Edelgard	: Flower Hauteclere : Swap (Skill Inheritance) : Noontime	: Distant Ward : Black Eagle Rule : Joint Drive Res : Distant Def 3

Explanation of Builds

• Well balanced spread of power and can take out a variety of enemy units.
• Inheriting Reposition makes retreating or engaging easier.
• Inheriting Death Blow on Reinhardt increases his overall firepower.
• Peony serves not only as a dancer but also a support unit that gives great buffs.

Inheriting Mobile Assist Skills

The units above can fight without skill inheritance, but giving them assist skills that help with mobility like Reposition and Swap will help them in battle.

With these skills, your units can close the gap to attack enemy units that are further away or retreat and get them to safety.

You Can Also Opt To Try Inheriting Shove or Smite

In addition to the mobile assist skill mentioned above, you can also try giving your units Shove or Smite.

These skills open more options for strategic plays. Smite in particular could be used in a vaeirty of ways, such as ambushing an enemy unit or moving a unit opposite a river bank or across a mountain range.

Increasing Firepower With Buffing Skills

Inheriting Death Blow on Reinhardt

Reinhardt is strong on his own, but giving him Death Blow 3 will increase his overall firepower and one-shot potential.

An easy to obtain unit that has Death Blow 3 is Klein, so if you manage to get one, you can fodder him off to give Reinhardt the skill.

However, if your Klein is +Atk, we recommend you build that unit and not fodder him off.

Buffing Atk Even More With Peony

By giving Peony the Atk Tactic 3 Sacred Seal, she can further boost her allies' damage.

The buff gives +6 Atk, so Reinhardt will get even stronger as the visible increase in Atk overlaps with his Death Blow 3.

Summoner and Ally Supports

You can further increase these units' power by giving them Summoner Support or Ally Support.

These special relationships will give bonuses to their base stats, so take advantage of these!

Summary

This team can be put together roughly an hour after installing the game.

You can attempt doing harder maps like Grand Hero Battles on higher difficulties with this team. When you get used to the gameplay, you can start experimenting with the other units you will gradually get in your barracks!
