If unit transforms, grants Atk+2 and grants a Distant Counter effect.

Cooldown Count = 3
Boosts damage dealt by 50% of unit’s Def.

At start of combat, if unit's HP = 100% or if 【Bonus】 is active on unit, grants Atk/Def+7 to unit during combat. At start of combat, if unit's HP = 100% and 【Bonus】 is active on unit, grants an additional Atk/Def+2 to unit during combat.

Fallen Edelgard Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (21) Normal HP ★★★☆☆
Atk (26) Attack Boon ★★★★★
Spd (4) Spd Boon ★☆☆☆☆
Def (11) Def Bane ★★★★☆
Res (9) Res Boon ★★★★☆

◯ = 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 Fallen Edelgard are +Atk and -Spd. Fallen Edelgard is built in a way that she does not need Spd at all. Thanks to her heals damage reduction effects, her best course of action when it comes to IVs is to just improve her offenses! Having said that, taking a Spd bane is the best because it is nigh useless to Fallen Edelgard.

It is also a superboon so you should take advantage of it as much as possible.

+Atk for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Atk IV when merging Edelgard to +10 to improve her damage output and allow her to burst down her foes.

Fallen Edelgard 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.

Fallen Edelgard Strengths

Refined Twin-Crest Power inflicts multiple debuffs and grants Edelgard an extra action

Fallen Edelgard's refined Twin-Crest Power inflicts Atk/Def-7, 【Panic】, and 【Exposure】 on closest foes and foes near the target foes at the start of each turn, inflicts up to Atk/Def-18 onto Edelgard's foe, neutralizes Atk/Def penalties on Edelgard, grants Edelgard bonus true damage and true damage reduction equal to 20% of her Def, denies both her and her foe's follow-up attacks, and grants Edelgard another action if she initiates combat while transformed.

This refined weapon softens up Edelgard's foes, improves her bulk and damage output, and grants her an extra action after her first combat.

Armored Wall has built-in Special Fighter and 40% damage reduction

Fallen Edelgard's exclusive B skill Armored Wall grants her Special cooldown charge +1 per attack, inflicts a Guard effect onto her foe, and grants her 40% damage reduction on her first combat on each phase.

This can speed up Edelgard's Special trigger while also hindering her foe's Specials, and slightly improves her bulk as well.

Fallen Edelgard Weaknesses

Weak to effective weapons

Fallen Edelgard will take additional damage from armor, colorless, or beast effective weapons, which can be fatal. She does not have to worry about triangle disadvantage, but be sure to keep her away from enemies with weapons that are effective on her.

Nowadays she is not as good what people think off. I usually defeat her in enemy phase with Legendary Edelgard, without much issues.... I think she needs some sort of refine or [ + ] treatment for her exclusive skill or weapon.
