Ascended Fjorm Skills at 5★

Nifl's Bite Might: 16　 Range: 1 Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count -1). Unit can counterattack regardless of foe's range. If unit is within 2 spaces of an ally, restores 7 HP to unit after combat, and also, if foe uses bow, dagger, magic, or staff, neutralizes effects that prevent unit's counterattacks during combat.

Ice Mirror Cooldown Count = 2 If foe’s Range = 2, reduces damage from foe’s attacks by 30%. Boosts unit’s next attack by total damage reduced (by any source, including other skills) when Special triggers. Resets at end of combat. (Skill cannot be inherited.)

Steady Posture 3 If foe initiates combat, grants Spd/Def +6 during combat and inflicts Special cool down charge -1 on foe per attack. (Only highest value applied. Does not stack.)

Hardy Fighter 3 Neutralizes effects that guarantee foe's follow-up attacks during combat. At the start of turn 1, if foe's attack triggers Special, grants Special cooldown count-2. If foe's attack triggers Special and Special has the "reduces damage by X%" effect, Special triggers twice, then reduces damage by 5. Each Special trigger is calculated as a separate activation.

A/R Far Save 3 If a foe uses bow, dagger, magic, or staff and initiates combat against an ally with 2 spaces of unit, triggers【Savior】on unit. If unit triggers Savior, grants Atk/Res+4 during combat. 【Savior】 Unit takes ally’s space, enters combat in ally’s place, and receives all after-combat effects. Doesn't trigger if ally is on terrain that unit can't move to or if multiple units are able to use Savior during the same combat. If Savior triggers, after-combat movement effects don't occur.

Ascended Fjorm Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (19)		★★★☆☆
Atk (9)		★★★★★
Spd (11)		★★★★★
Def (9)		★★★☆☆
Res (10)		★★★★☆

◯ = 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 and -HP

Ascended Fjorm's best IVs are +Spd and -HP. +Spd is a Superboon and boosts her already high Spd stat even further, allowing her to create more follow-up attacks in combat. The rest of her stats are balanced, thus taking -HP as a bane is a safe option because it is the easiest to boost through ally Legendary or Mythic blessing bonuses.

+Spd for a +10 Merge Project

If you want to build a +10 merged Ascended Fjorm, we recommend a +Spd IV to maximize her superboon and combat potential. +Atk is also a good choice to maximize her damage output as it is a superboon as well.

Ascended Hero Bonus

As an Ascended Hero, Fjorm can ascend one of her stats for free without using an Ascendant Floret! We recommend +Spd or +Atk, whichever IV you did not take.

Ascended Fjorm Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Ascended Fjorm Roles

Fjorm - Ice Ascendant 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

Ascended Fjorm is a close-range physical attacker. When the effects of the Weapon Triangle are not taken into account, the damage she deals will be equal to her Atk minus the foes's Def stat.

Ascended Fjorm Strengths

Nifl's Bite is a Powerful Weapon

Nifl's Bite is a powerful weapon loaded with multiple effects.

Below is a summary of its effects both in and out of battle:

1	Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1).
2	Ascended Fjorm can counterattack regardless of foe's range.
3	Restores 7 HP to Ascended Fjorm after combat if she is within 2 spaces of an ally.
4	Neutralizes effects that prevent Ascended Fjorm's counterattacks during combat if she is within 2 spaces of an ally and foe uses bow, dagger, magic, or staff.

Nifl's Bite allows Ascended Fjorm to be the first armored unit who can use A/R Far Save 3 and have a built-in Null C-Disrupt on her weapon, allowing her to counterattack against various sweep weapons like staves refined with the Dazzling Staff effect or Firesweep Bow+.

Previously, armored units with Save skills were helpless against sweep-based effects, but Ascended Fjorm is the first armored unit to be able to retaliate against them.

This gives her a very valuable niche in your army!

Can Save Allies From Harm With A/R Far Save

Fjorm saves Alfonse from getting attacked by this ranged foe.

The【Savior】buff that A/R Far Save 3 gives is very powerful, allowing Ascended Fjorm to take the place of her ally that is being attacked by a ranged enemy unit.

Ascended Fjorm's kit is well-equipped to deal with enemy ranged units; having her enter combat against them instead of your other allies is almost always going to be beneficial!

Punishes Foes When Attacked

Steady Posture 3 grants Ascended Fjorm +6 Spd/Def and inflicts special cooldown charge -1 on her foe per attack.

Not only does this skill make her more powerful in the enemy phase, but it also punishes attackers by interfering with their special cooldowns.

This is very important when up against powerful foes as in those situations, having a special activated means one of your units getting taken out.

It also has clear synergy with her A/R Far Save 3.

Hardy Fighter and Ice Mirror Have Great Synergy

Hardy Fighter and Ice Mirror ensure that Fjorm takes minimal damage, from the expected 28 all the way down to 9!

Hardy Fighter 3 is a new armor exclusive skill that Ascended Fjorm has introduced to the game.

While the effects are rather niche, it perfectly suits Ascended Fjorm's kit, especially with her unique Special, Ice Mirror!

Below is a summary of Hardy Fighter's multiple effects:

1	Neutralizes effects that guarantee foe's follow-up attacks during combat.
2	Grants Special cooldown count-2 at the start of turn 1, if foe's attack triggers Fjorm's Special.
3	Triggers Fjorm's Special twice, then reduces the damage taken by 5, if foe's attack triggers her Special and her Special has a damage reduction effect.

Hardy Fighter 3 may not be a good skill for everyone, but it fits Ascended Fjorm's kit very well!

Ascended Fjorm Weaknesses

Armor Unit Movement Restrictions

As an armored unit, Ascended Fjorm is restricted by her movement, but this could be remedied if paired with an ally using Armor March 3.

Alternatively, you can always give her the Armored Boots Sacred Seal.

Weak to Armor Effective Weapons

Ascended Fjorm takes 1.5x damage from armor-effective weapons like Armorslayer+ or Hammer+, and one blow from these types of weapons is sure to take her down.

Make sure you know what weapons you are up against before hopping too far into the line of battle!

Heroes with Effective Skills

Ascended Fjorm Team and Counters

Teammates for Ascended Fjorm

Arden	Zelgius	Brave Hector	Brave Lucina
Peony	New Year Peony	Flayn	Summer Hilda

Non-green tanks with Near Save

Since Fjorm already covers ranged enemy units with her A/R Far Save 3, tanks using A/R Near Save 3 rounds out her team since they will cover melee units.

Make sure these tanks aren't green so that your team has a full range to cover the Weapon Triangle.

Units with beneficial passive effects

Summer Hilda, Flayn, and Brave Lucina fit this category as they provide helpful buffs to Fjorm.

As a Support Partner, Brave Lucina will provide additional stats when she is near Fjorm and also Special acceleration if she is attacked.

Summer Hilda and Flayn can act as healers, while their respective staves give her either a boost in firepower or damage reduction respectively.

Ascended Fjorm Counters

Soleil	Brave Alm	Fallen Ike	Legendary Sigurd
Malice	Legendary Chrom	Ullr	Young Innes

Speedy or one-shot sword units

Due to the Weapon Triangle, Ascended Fjorm loses to speedy sword units or sword units that have big damage, enough to one-shot her.

Speedy units include Malice or Fallen Ike, while Legendary Sigurd's massive damage output can potentially take her out when he attacks.

Melee Firesweep units

Melee units using Firesweep weapons like Firesweep Sword+ or Firesweep Axe+ will prevent Fjorm from countering and can be used to chip her down.

Deadeye units

Units with Deadeye can make quick work of Fjorm since they ignore her damage reduction.

However, take note that these units will perhaps need a lot of investment and premium skills to compliment Deadeye (except in the case of Ullr, since her kit is already pretty good).

Ascended Fjorm as a Source Hero

Value of Skills	★★★★★

Ascended Fjorm has three premium skills worth inheriting to other units in Steady Posture 3, Hardy Fighter 3, and A/R Far Save 3.

Hardy Fighter 3 is unique to Ascended Fjorm as of October 2021, but its uses are rather limited and not all heroes benefit from having it.

Still, we recommend keeping at least one copy of Ascended Fjorm in your barracks before you decide to fodder her off for her skills.
