Dagr Skills at 5★

Skinfaxi Grants Spd+3 and 【Pathfinder】. At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 and bonus to Atk/Spd/Def/Res during combat = current penalty on each of those stats x 2. Calculates each stat bonus independently. 【Pathfinder】 When an ally moves through unit's space, that space is counter as 0 spaces moved instead of 1 space. (Unit's space can be freely added to ally's normal movement. Applies only to allies with movement types that allow movement through unit's space.)

Dragon Fang Cooldown Count = 4 Boosts Atk by 50%.

Atk/Spd Hexblade At start of turn, if unit is within 2 spaces of a magic ally, grants 【Hexblade】 to unit for 1 turn. If 【Bonus】 is active on unit, grants Atk/Spd+7 to unit during combat. 【Hexblade】 Calculates damage using the lower of foe's Def or Res during combat for 1 turn (including damage dealt by Specials before combat).

Sun-Twin Wing+ At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, inflicts Atk/Spd/Def-5 on foe, neutralizes effects that guarantee foe's follow-up attacks and prevent unit's follow-up attacks, deals damage = 20% of unit's Spd (excluding area-of-effect Specials), and reduces the percentage of foe's non-Special "reduce damage by X%" skills by 50% during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials).

Even Tempest 3 At start of even-numbered turns, unit can move 1 extra space. (That turn only. Does not stack.)

HP (19)		★★★☆☆
Atk (25)		★★★★☆

◯ = 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.

+Spd/-Res

The best IVs for Dagr are +Spd/-Res.

Since Dagr already comes with very high attack, having more Spd will increase her chances of doubling.

Her Res is already pretty low, so it woould be safe to take it as a bane.

+Spd for a +10 Merge

This is for the same reason as above. Dagr will have 52 Spd at 10 merges, making her extremely formidable due to the buffs she gets from Skinfaxi.

You could opt to have +Atk for more firepower, as it will allow her to deal a lot of damage to armored units.

Dagr Best Builds

： Skinfaxi ： Reposition ： Moonbow ： -

： Atk/Spd Hexblade ： Sun-Twin Wing+ ： Even Tempest 3 ： Odd Tempest 3 ： -

Dagr Best Weapon Refine

Effect of Dagr's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
Skinfaxi	SP: 400
Might: 16　Range: 1　HP: 3 Grants Spd+3 and 【Pathfinder】. At start of turn, grants 【Pathfinder】 to unit's support partner for 1 turn (if more than one support partner is present, effect is not granted). At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 and bonus to Atk/Spd/Def/Res during combat = current penalty on each of those stats × 2 (example: if unit has -7 penalty to Atk, grants Atk+19, for a net bonus of Atk+12; calculates each stat bonus independently). If unit initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally, inflicts Atk/Spd/Def-4 on foe, inflicts penalty on foe's Atk/Spd/Def during combat = current bonus on each of foe's stats × 2 (calculates each stat penalty independently; example: if foe has +7 bonus to Atk, inflicts Atk-18, for a net penalty of Atk-11), deals damage = 10% of unit's Atk (excluding area-of-effect Specials), and reduces damage from foe's first attack by 40% during combat ("first attack" normally means only the first strike; for effects that grant "unit attacks twice," it means the first and second strikes). ：500　：200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Skinfaxi

Refined Skinfaxi grants the 【Pathfinder】 effect to both Dagr and her support partner (compared to only Dagr when unrefined), making it a worthwhile investment already with this alone.

Refining Skinfaxi also inflicts massive stat penalties onto Dagr's foe in combat, grants her bonus damage equal to 10% of her Atk, and grants her 40% damage reduction on her foe's first attack. These effects aid her in battle, making it easier for her to defeat her foe while increasing her survivability as well.

Dagr Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Dagr Roles

Dagr - Sun's Radiance 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

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

Mythic Hero Effect can boost allies' HP and Res

Eff.	Atk+3	Spd+4	Def+5	Res+5

Dagr is a Mythic Hero, and when summoned, you will receive a Light Blessing. During Light Season, allies who have been given an Light Blessing and appear together with Dagr in batlle will receive a HP+5 and Res+5 bonus to their stats, increasing the party's overall power.

Dagr Strengths

Skinfaxi Converts Penalties into Buffs

Dagr's exclusive weapon, Skinfaxi has the effect of taking the penalties on Dagr and turns them into buffs x2 while in combat, but the debuff will still be present so the net value will be a positive buff (Ex: if Ike has a -7 penalty in Atk, it turns into a +14 Atk buff while in combat, resulting in a positive buff of Atk+7). The more penalties Dagr has, the stronger she gets.

Additionally, it grants +5 Atk/Spd/Def/Res to Dagr. All these are only present when Dagr's HP ≥ 25%.

Buffs to Dagr do not cancel out the Skinfaxi's calculation of the debuffs. For example, assume Dagr is affected by both Chill Atk 3 from a foe and Atk Tactic 3 from an ally. Without Skinfaxi, Dagr will have -7 Atk from Chill Atk 3 and +6 Atk from Atk Tactic 3, resulting in a penalty of -1 Atk. Instead, Dagr will get a +14 Atk buff because of Chill Atk 3, +6 from Atk Tactic, resulting in a net buff of Atk+13.

Refining Skinfaxi grants the 【Pathfinder】 effect to both Dagr and her support partner (compared to only Dagr when unrefined), inflicts massive stat penalties onto Dagr's foe in combat, grants her bonus damage equal to 10% of her Atk, and grants her 40% damage reduction on her foe's first attack.

These effects aid her in battle, making it easier for her to defeat her foe while increasing her survivability as well.

Skinfaxi allows for more allied movement!

As seen above, Skinfaxi granted additional movement to Reginn. She would not have reached that spot from her original position if Dagr and 【Pathfinder】. Specifics can be read in the skill tooltip.

Dagr can take advantage of Even Tempest 3 to position her advantageously for some 【Pathfinder】 cheese. This is very useful in Aether Raids as each square of movement in this fast-paced game mode is important.

Refining Skinfaxi grants the 【Pathfinder】 effect to both Dagr and her support partner (compared to only Dagr when unrefined), making this additional mobility even more accessible.

A Slot Skill gives massive bonus to Atk/Spd

Dagr has the A slot skill Atk/Spd Push 4, which grants Atk/Spd+7 so long as her HP is at or above 25%. It will inflict damage on Dagr after battle, but considering a higher Spd allows Dagr to deal more damage and receive less follow-up attacks in the process, this is worth it. You can always patch this up with healers.

Sun-Twin Wing+ allows inflicts Spd/Def penalties and grants the effects Null Follow-Up

Dagr's exclusive B skill Sun-Twin Wing+ inflicts Atk/Spd/Def-5 onto her foe, grants her a Null Follow-Up effect, bonus damage equal to 20% of her Spd, and cuts her foe's non-Special damage reduction effects in half.

These effects all add up to make facing Dagr in battle difficult as it will require a faster unit to withstand her combat prowess.

Move an extra space in even-numbered turns!

Even Tempest 3 is a skill that debuted with Dagr It allows her to move an extra space in even-numbered turns. This means that half of the time, Dagr can move up to 3 spaces! This can be the difference between victory or defeat in some cases especially in turn-limited maps such as Aether Raids.

There are no trigger conditions besides being under an even-numbered turn. This makes it a situational, but very easy-to-use skill that provides lots of utility to Dagr. This skill can also make up for some great combos with 【Pathfinder】. The extra range can allow Dagr to zoom into a position where 【Pathfinder】 is most advantageous.

This can be easily paired with the Odd Tempest 3 Sacred Seal to have extra movement at all times!

Dagr Weaknesses

Low Res makes her an easy target for mages

Dagr has no Distant Counter built in and her Res is quite low, which means that high power red mages like Valentine's Lif or Lysithea can take her out.
