Pirate Hinoka Skills at 5★

Mermaid Bow Might: 14　 Range: 2 Effective against flying and armored foes. Grants Atk+3. At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Atk/Spd+6 to unit during combat and calculates damage using the lower of foe's Def or Res, and also, if unit initiates combat, unit's Spd > foe's Spd, and unit has weapon-triangle advantage, unit attacks twice.

Atk/Spd Push 4 At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Atk/Spd+7, but after combat, if unit attacked, deals 5 damage to unit.

S/R Far Trace 3 Enables 【Canto (Rem.)】. Inflicts Spd/Res-3 on foe during combat. 【Canto (Rem.)】 After combat, unit can move spaces equal to the number of spaces they have not used yet in their previous action according to their movement type. For example, a flying unit who has moved 1 space to attack an opponent, can move 1 spaces after as fliers have 2 spaces of movement.

Def/Res Rein 3 Inflicts Def/Res -4 on foes within 2 spaces during combat.

Duo Hinoka's Duo Skill Effect

Duo Skill

Grants Atk/Spd+6 to unit and flying allies within 3 rows and 3 columns centered on unit, and they can move 1 extra space. (That turn only. Does not stack.) Inflicts 【Gravity】 on bow, dagger, tome, and staff foes within 3 rows and 3 columns centered on unit if they are also infantry, armored, or cavalry foes. 【Gravity】 Restricts target's movement to 1 space through its next action. (Duo Skills can be used once per map by tapping the Duo button. Duo Skills cannot be used by units deployed using Pair Up.)

Standard Effect 1

Duel
If unit is 5★ and level 40 and unit's stats total less than 190, treats unit's stats as 190 in modes like Arena. (Higher-scoring opponents will appear. Stat total calculation excludes any values added by merges and skills.)

Pirate Hinoka Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (18)		★★★☆☆
Atk (10)		★★★★★
Spd (10)		★★★★★
Def (4)		★★★☆☆
Res (6)		★★★☆☆

◯ = 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 Pirate Hinoka are +Spd and -Res. Pirate Hinoka needs to win a Spd check to activate her Mermaid Bow's brave effect, thus boosting her Spd is essential. Her bulk is poor overall, thus taking either Def or Res as a bane is up to the player's preference.

+Spd for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Spd IV when merging Pirate Hinoka to +10 for similar reasons. +Atk is also a fine option if you are investing further into her Spd with her A and seal slots.

General Use / Budget Pirate Hinoka

HOT
： Mermaid Bow ： Reposition ： Moonbow ： -	： Atk/Spd Push 4 ： S/R Far Trace 3 ： Def/Res Rein 3 ： Blade Session 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

This budget build retains most of Hinoka's base kit as all the skills work well together. Moonbow is the special of choice as it has a short cooldown and takes advantage of Mermaid Bow's adaptive damage. Blade Session 3 may be replaced by another seal that increases Atk and Spd.

Pirate Hinoka Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Pirate Hinoka Roles

Hinoka - Fair Pirate Pair 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

Pirate Hinoka is a ranged physical attacker (range = 2). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage he/she deals will be equivalent to her Atk minus the foe's Def stat.

Pirate Hinoka Strengths

Mermaid Bow is a powerful bow that is great in the current meta!

Pirate Hinoka scores a quad because she has weapon-triangle advantage.

Mermaid Bow provides Pirate Hinoka with a few useful abilities:

• If her HP ≥ 25%, grants Atk/Spd +6
• If her HP ≥ 25%, grants adaptive damage
• If she initiates combat, has weapon-triangle advantage, and if her Spd > foe's Spd, she will attack twice

These effects make Mermaid Bow a great cornerstone for a good offensive ability. It is worth noting that Mermaid Bow also is also armor-effective on top of being strong against fliers. The armor-effectiveness, plus the other bonuses especially the adaptive damage make her a great match against common armors nowadays especially Fallen Edelgard.

Kit effectively specializes her as a premier offensive unit

In addition to Mermaid Bow's abilities, Pirate Hinoka's kit pushes her offensive prowess even further:

• Def/Res Rein 3 inflicts -4 Def/Res, which is comaptible with how adaptive damage works.
• Atk/Spd Push 4 has similar trigger conditions with Mermaid Bow, and it grants +7 Atk/Spd.
• In addition to the Canto effect, S/R Far Trace 3 inflicts -3 Spd/Res to the foe.

What Mermaid Bow promises, the skills above delivers! Expect Pirate Hinoka to be a very powerful offensive unit especially when she gets access to a powerful Special and Sacred Seal.

Access to a Duo Skill!

On top of all that, Pirate Hinoka and Camilla has access to a Duo Skill. Upon activation, it grants a very useful +6 Atk/Spd to Hinoka and all flying allies within 3 rows and columns centered on unit. In the same AoE, it also inflicts 【Gravity】 on bow, dagger, tome, and staff foes.

Pirate Hinoka Weaknesses

Duo's Hindrance nullifies her Duo skill

Pirate Hinoka's Duo skill is nullified when she is fielded in Aether Raids and the enemy team has the Duo's Hindrance structure.

This means she cannot use the skill and will have to be just a pure offensive unit.

Weak to bows

As a flying unit, Pirate Hinoka takes 1.5x damage from bows and weapons effective on flying units. Be sure to keep them out of the range of archers and leave them to other units.

Pirate Hinoka as a Source Hero

Value of Skills	★★★★★

Pirate Hinoka carries multiple skills that are worth giving to other units:

1. Atk/Spd Push 4 is an amazing skill for offensive units
2. S/R Far Trace 3 is great for added mobility after combat
3. Def/Res Rein 3 is unique to Pirate Hinoka (as of August 2021) and is great for support units

Through pre-inheriting, it is possible to use one copy of Pirate Hinoka to inherit both Atk/Spd Push 4 and another skill tree in her kit.
