Legendary Sigurd Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (19) HP Superbane ★★★☆☆
Atk (27) Attack Boon ★★★★★
Spd (6) No Spd IV ★★★☆☆
Def (9) No Def IV ★★★☆☆
Res (4) Res Bane ★★☆☆☆

◯ = 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/-Res

The best IVs for Legendary Sigurd are +Atk and -Res. One of Legendary Sigurd's main strengths lies in his ability to attack twice with Hallowed Tyrfing, so even a small change to his Atk stat greatly changes his overall ability. As long as he has +Atk, his bane is not really of much significance, but most of the time, Res is his best bane.

+Atk for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Atk IV when merging Legendary Sigurd to 10. This is for the same reasons above. With a higher Atk stat, he will be able to deal large amounts of damage with Hallowed Tyrfing's guaranteed follow-up attack.

Near Trace Legendary Sigurd

Emblem Icon: -
Attuned Skill Icon: -

How to Use, Explanation

This build uses A/D Near Trace to the fullest by taking advantage of Sigurd's 4 movement from Holy-Knight Aura to be able to retreat more spaces than usual post-combat.

Legendary Sigurd 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 his Atk minus the foe's Def stat.

As a Legendary Hero, you will gain a Wind Blessing when summoning L!Sigurd. Additionally, being a Wind type Legendary Hero means that during Wind Seasons, other allies with a Wind Blessing will receive HP+3 when they appear in battle with Legendary Sigurd, and his total stats will be treated as 185. This will lead to a higher Arena Score.

Legendary Sigurd Strengths

Atk/Def Catch and Hallowed Tyrfing create a huge stat gap

Catch skills recently debuted, and the 4th Lvl. variants are pretty powerful. It checks for the following trigger conditions:

  1. If foe's HP is 100%
  2. If 【Penalty】 is active on foe.

If one of these trigger conditions are active, it grants L!Sigurd +7 Atk/Def, and if both conditions are active it grants an additional +2 Atk/Def. This is a total of +9 Atk/Def.

The former condition can be easily met especially in the starting turns of combat and the latter can easily be achieved thanks to Fatal Smoke's Deep Wounds effect. Together, they make Legendary Sigurd very powerful in-combat.

Fatal Smoke Prevents Healing

A fairly new skill, Fatal Smoke 3, is available for Legendary Sigurd.

This skill is a massive game changer, as he not only prevents enemy units from healing during and after combat, but he also inflicts【Deep Wounds】on his target and foes within 2 spaces.

This means that units that have sustain Specials like Aether, Sol, or anything similar cannot heal themselves even if they engaged combat.

This also means that healers cannot bring their allies' HP pools back up and neither will the Healing Tower heal units on Aether Raids.

Hallowed Tyrfing provides bonuses against healthy foes

Against foes with HP ≥ 75%, Hallowed Tyrfing provides:

  • +5 Atk/Spd/RDef/Res
  • and grants Sigurd guaranteed follow-up attacks.

If you can, prioritize Legendary Sigurd's targets to make the most out of his power.

It also accelerates his Special trigger and provides damage redcution effects discussed below.

Huge damage reduction from ranged foes thanks to Hallowed Tyrfing and Crusader's Ward!

Legendary Sigurd Damage Reduction FEH

Legendary Sigurd comes with insane damage reduction when attacked by ranged foes.

His weapon, Hollowed Tyrfing, will reduce their first attack by 40%, while his Crusader's Ward will reduce their second attack by 80%!

Even if you are using a blue unit, it's going to be extremely hard to punch through that much reduction.

Hallowed Tyrfing's damage reduction will also proc on melee units IF he initiates combat. This means that the damage reduction is only unavailable on melee units in the enemy phase.

Grants Extra Movement Due to Holy Knight Aura

Legendary Sigurd 4-Space Movement FEH

Legendary Sigurd's damage reduction illustrated above. The stat gap discussed above can also be seen here.

Sigurd's Special allows him to move 1 extra space during the start of the turn. This is insane, as it effectively makes him able to cross the map very quickly.

In addition to that, if his Special does trigger, he grants himself and his allies the ability to move 1 extra space on that turn.

This will apply even if Sigurd himself is defeated in battle!

It also grants +6 to Sigurd and all allies in the turn where it activated. It has a very low cooldown of 1 counter thanks to Hallowed Tyrfing so make sure to take advantage every time!

Legendary Sigurd Weaknesses

Countered by Null Follow-Up

Since L!Sigurd relies on Hallowed Tyrfing's effects to nail follow-up attacks instead of his Spd, he is countered by Null Follow-Up 3, and similar skills.

Countered by Spd-based damage reduction skills.

Sigurd's Spd is very low so he is easily countered by skills that reduce damage through Spd checks. Sigurd will almost always be outsped by units using these skills so his daame will take quite a dive against said units.

Weak to cavalry effective weapons

As a cavalry unit, Sigurd will take massive damage from weapons like Ridersbane which are effective on cavalry units. Be sure and check your foes' weapons beforehand.

Flexible Unit That Can Fit in Any Team

Legendary Sigurd 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.

Heroes With Cavalry-Effective Weapons

As a cavalry unit, Legendary Sigurd is weak to weapons that are effective against cavalry as he takes 1.5x more damage.

High Power Mages

Due to his low Res, Legendary Sigurd will struggle against high power mages (that don't have Brave effects, sorry Reinhardt), especially if their weapons are cavalry-effective.

You may need to use a dancer to finish him off, but not having a brave weapon means that Crusader's Ward will not be active, which lowers his survivability.

Very Tanky Blue Units

Highly invested blue tanks can take hits from Legendary Sigurd and will possibly one-shot him on their own counterattack.

The hindrance would be that they can't rely on any healing Specials due to Sigurd having Fatal Smoke 3, so if you are using a tank, they will need to either defeat him when he attacks or the first turn of Player Phase.
