Bridal Shanna Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Bridal Shanna Roles

Shanna - Bridal Novice 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

Bridal Shanna is a ranged physical 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 Def stat.

Bridal Shanna Strengths

Large amounts of damage through Rose-Quartz Bow!

Not only does Bridal Shanna's weapon give her Atk/Spd+6 during combat, but it also deals damage to her target = 20% of her Spd.

This is extremely powerful, especially if Bridal Shanna is built to give her as much Spd as possible.

This synergizes well with Swift Sparrow 3 as it gives a +Atk/Spd bonus when initiating

Can move again due to the effects of A/D Far Trace 3

The effect of A/D Far Trace allows Shanna to move again after performing certain actions which in turn lets her reposition herself to safety or within range of a dancer so she can take another action.

This opens up more strategic uses for her as a unit and can be very useful when paired with fliers that have skills such as Flier Formation 3 or Air Orders 3.

Bridal Shanna Weaknesses

Weak to bows

As a flying unit, Bridal Shanna takes 1.5x damage from bows and weapons effective on flying units. Be sure to keep her out of the range of archers and leave them to other units.
Heroes with Effective Skills

Low Def and Res make her fragile

Bridal Shanna's Def and Res are low, which means that she'll be easy to defeat with either physical or magic damage.

While it may be hard to double her without a unit using a brave weapon such as Reinhardt or Legendary Leif, a blue unit with very high attack should have no trouble.

Bridal Shanna as a Source Hero

Value of Skills	★★★★★

Inheriting Swift Sparrow 3, A/D Far Trace 3, Atk/Def Rein 3

1. Swift Sparrow 3 has been a reliable, fan favorite, offensive, player phase skill that has withstood the test of time.
2. A/D Far Trace 3 combines the properties of a Lull skill and the Canto effect
3. Atk/Def Rein 3 is a reliable debuff that improves team damage and dampens hostile damage.

We recommend getting Swift Sparrow 2 from another unit, then getting another skill line from one copy of Bridal Shanna.
