New Year Dagr Skills at 5★


Might: 14  Range: 2
Accelerates Special trigger (Cooldown count-1). Effective against flying foes. If unit initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally, inflicts Atk/Spd/Def/Res-5 on foe during combat and inflicts penalty of foe's Atk/Spd/Def during combat = current bonus on each of unit's Atk/Spd/Def. Calculates each stat penalty independently.
Effect: 【Pathfinder】
【Pathfinder】 When an ally moves through unit's space, that space is counted as 0 spaces moved instead of 1 space. (Unit's space can be freely added to ally's normal movement. Applies only to allies with movement types that allow movement through unit's space.)

Cooldown Count = 3
Treats foe's Def/Res as if reduced by 50% during combat.

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

At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, inflicts Spd/Def-5 on foe and also neutralizes effects that guarantee foe's follow-up attacks and effects that prevent unit's follow-up attacks during combat.

Inflicts Atk/Def-4 on foes within 2 spaces during combat.

New Year Dagr's Duo Skill Effect

Duo Skill
Grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+6 and 【Pathfinder】 to unit and allies within 5 rows and 5 columns centered on unit for 1 turn.
【Pathfinder】
When an ally moves through unit's space, treat that space as counted as 0 spaces moved instead of 1 space. (Unit's space can be freely added to any ally's normal movement. Applies only to allies with movement types that allow movement through unit's space.)
(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 195, treats unit's stats as 195 in modes like Arena. (Higher-scoring opponents will appear. Stat total calculation excludes any values added by merges and skills.)

New Year Dagr Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (18) HP Superbane ★★★☆☆
Atk (11) Attack Boon ★★★★★
Spd (12) Spd Boon ★★★★★
Def (5) Def Bane ★★★★☆
Res (3) 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.

+Spd/-Res

New Year Dagr wants to boost her Atk and Spd as much as possible to eliminate enemies quickly.

Since Spd is a superboon, we recommend +Spd as her boon of choice, espacially since her Spd can compete with the fastest units in the game.

Her Res is a dump stat and lowering it will not change any of her matchups, this -Res is a safe bane to choose.

+Spd for a +10 Merge

We recommend +Spd as Dagr's boon of choice. for a +10 merge, for similar reasons above.

How to Use, Explanation

This build removes the recoil from Atk/Spd Push 4 and still grants amazing Atk/Spd bonuses with Atk/Spd Catch. Atk/Def Menace can apply debuffs to activate or enhance Atk/Spd Carch as well. Dagr already applies a variety of debuffs so this skill should still be helpful!

AR-D New Year Dagr

Assist Skill Icon: -
Special Skill IconDeadeye
Emblem Icon: -
Attuned Skill Icon: -

How to Use, Explanation

The main appeal of New Year Dagr on AR-D is being a blessable flying powerhouse with the Pathfinder effect! By inherting an Impact skill like Sturdy Impact, she improves her defenses in the player phase by blocking the foe's ability to follow-up attack. This theoretically increases the number of raiding units she can take out because she will survive more battles. That survivability coupled with her support abilities in Pathfinder and Rein makes her a great piece in defenses.

New Year Dagr as a Source Hero

New Year Dagr Avatar

Value of Skills ★★★★★

New Year Dagr comes with Atk/Spd Push 4 and Atk/Spd Rein 3 as inheritable skills.

These are both premium skills worth inheriting. Using pre-inhertance for Atk/Spd Push 1 to 3, you can acquire both of them with one copy of Dagr.

However, Dagr is a premium unit as well. We highly suggest keeping one before foddering her off.
