Groom Roy Skills at 5★


Might: 16  Range: 1
Enables 【Canto 2】.
Effective against dragon and beast foes. Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). If unit initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 to unit during combat, and inflicts penalty on foe's Atk/Spd/Def/Res during combat = 50% of total bonuses on unit during combat (max -6).

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

If unit initiates combat, grants Atk+7, Def+10 to unit during combat, and also, if unit deals damage to foe using a Special, restores HP = X% of unit's max HP (X = unit's max Special cooldown count value x 20, +10; max 100). (Triggers even if 0 damage is dealt.)

If unit initiates combat, neutralizes effects that prevent unit's follow-up attacks and neutralizes unit's penalties to Atk/Spd during combat.

At start of turn, if unit is within 3 spaces of allies other than dragon or beast allies, grants Atk/Spd+6 to unit and those allies for 1 turn. If 2 or more allies on your current team other than dragon or beast allies have total bonuses ≥ 10 (excluding unit), neutralizes effects that grant "Special cooldown charge +X" to foe or inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on unit.

Groom Roy's Harmonized Skill Effect

Harmonized Skill
Grants Def/Res+6, 【Resonance: Shields】, and 【Treachery】 to unit and allies from the same titles as unit for 1 turn.
【Treachery】

(Harmonized Skills can be used by tapping the Harmonized button. Harmonized Skills cannot be used by units deployed using Pair Up.)

Groom Roy Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (17) HP Superbane ★★★☆☆
Atk (10) No Attack IV ★★★★☆
Spd (9) Spd Bane ★★★★★
Def (8) Def Bane ★★★☆☆
Res (6) 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

Groom Roy's best IVs are +Spd and -Res. His Spd sits at a strong base 42 and together with Blazing Polearms and Faith in Humanity, he can reliably make a follow-up attack on his foes.

Groom Roy has no clear dump stat, but his Res is his least important stat. As a player phase physical unit with Canto, he isn't expected to take attacks from magical units quite often. Taking Res as a bane is his best option.

+Spd for a +10 Merge

We recommend +Spd when merging Groom Roy up to +10 for similar reasons above. He has very high Spd and should invest in it to lead to best combat results.

Groom Roy is a close physical attacker (range = 1). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage he deals will be equivalent to his Atk minus the foe's Def stat.

Groom Roy Strengths

Blazing Polearms is a very powerful weapon with multiple effects

Groom Roy Attack Fire Emblem Heroes FEH

Groom Roy's Blazing Polearms has multiple effects that swing combat in his favor.

Below is a summary of these effects:

Condition(s) Effect
Always Enables 【Canto 2】.
Always Effective against dragon and beast foes.
Always Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1).
Groom Roy initiates combat
OR
Groom Roy is within 2 spaces of an ally
Grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 to Groom Roy during combat.
Groom Roy initiates combat
OR
Groom Roy is within 2 spaces of an ally
Inflicts penalty on foe's Atk/Spd/Def/Res during combat = 50% of total bonuses on Groom Roy during combat (max -6).

With Canto and the stat swing effects being tied to Groom Roy initiating combat or meeting an HP condition, a player phase style brings out his best potential.

Faith in Humanity grants stat bonuses and a Tempo effect

Groom Roy also comes with an exclusive C skill in Faith in Humanity.

This skill grants Atk/Spd+6 to Groom Roy and any non-dragon, non-beast allies at the start of each turn, if Groom Roy is within 3 spaces of said allies.

Additionally, if 2 or more allies on Groom Roy's team (excluding himself) have total bonuses ≥ 10, this skill applies a Tempo effect which prevents Special manipulation that harms Groom Roy or helps his foes.

The Tempo effect ensures that Groom Roy will trigger his Special, and Sturdy Surge's healing as a result of that.

Harmonized skill grants Def/Res bonuses and Treachery

Groom Roy's Harmonized skill grants Def/Res+6 and 【Treachery】to units from Binding Blade and Blazing Blade for 1 turn.

Treachery is a blade tome effect where the affected unit deals additional damage equal to the amount of bonuses on the unit.

With Faith in Humanity granting Atk/Spd buffs, this Harmonized skill grants Def/Res buffs allowing for maximum damage with the blade tome effect!

Groom Roy Weaknesses

Faith in Humanity brings teambuilding restrictions

Groom Roy's Faith in Humanity only affects non-dragon and non-beast allies, and the Tempo effect is reliant on having multiple human allies receiving bonuses.

This skill effectively prevents Groom Roy from being fielded together with dragon or beast units.

Either field Groom Roy with human allies, or exchange this skill for another C skill if you wish to field him with dragon or beast allies.

Weak to Cavalry Effective Weapons

Groom Roy takes 1.5x damage from cavalry-effective weapons like Thani or Binding Reginleif, and one blow from this type of weapon is sure to take him down. Make sure you know what weapons you are up against before hopping too far into the line of battle!

Groom Roy as a Source Hero

Groom Roy Avatar

Value of Skills ★★★★☆

Groom Roy comes with Sturdy Surge and Flow Force 3 as great inheritable options.

Sturdy Surge is a very rare skill and Flow Force 3 is only found on Groom Roy (as of May 2022).

It is possible to obtain both of these with one copy of Groom Roy by inheriting Sturdy Blow 2 to your preferred unit first. With the rarity of these two skills, ensure that you do not waste your Groom Roy copy by doing this first.
