Summer Dimitri Skills at 5★

Unyielding Oar Might: 16　 Range: 1 Enables 【Canto (Rem. +1)】. Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 during combat, and also, if 【Bonus】 is active on foe or if unit's Spd ≥ foe's Spd+10, unit attacks twice. After an attack, Assist skill, or structure destruction, unit can move spaces = any movement not already used that turn + 1. (If unit used a movement skill that warped them, its remaining movement is 0.) (Unit moves according to movement type. Once per turn, cannot attack or assist. Only highest value applied. Does not stack. After moving, if a skill that grants another action would be triggered (like with Galeforce), Canto will trigger again. Unit's base movement has no effect on movement granted. Cannot warp (using skills like Wings of Mercy) a distance greater than unit's remaining movement +1.)

Glimmer Cooldown Count = 2 Boosts damage dealt by 50%.

Atk/Spd Catch 4 At start of combat, if foe's HP=100% or if【Penalty】is active on foe, grants Atk/Spd+7 to unit during combat. At start of combat, if foe's HP=100% and【Penalty】is active on foe, grants an additional Atk/Spd+2 to unit during combat. 【Penalty】 All effects that last "on foe through its next action." Includes penalties inflicted by a skill like Panic or Threaten and negative status effects (preventing counterattacks, restricting movement, or the effects of a skill like Triangle Adept or Guard).

Atrocity At start of combat, if foe's HP ≥ 50%, boosts damage by 25% of unit's Atk, and after combat, inflicts Atk/Spd/Def/Res-5 and Special cooldown count+1 on target and foes within 2 spaces of target through their next actions. (No effect on Special cooldown counts already at maximum.)

Spd/Def Menace At start of turn, if unit is within 4 spaces of a foe, inflicts Spd/Def-6 on closest foes through their next actions and grants Spd/Def+6 to unit for 1 turn.

Summer Dimitri Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (18)		★★★☆☆
Atk (9)		★★★★★
Spd (10)		★★★★★
Def (9)		★★★★☆
Res (4)		★☆☆☆☆

◯ = 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.

+Atk / -Res

The best IVs for Summer Dimitri are +Atk and -Res. Atrocity is based off his Atk stat, and boosting it increases the amount of true damage deals to his foes.

+Spd can also be used as a superboon to more reliably trigger his brave effect.

Like other Dimitri alts in FEH, his Res is atrocious and should be the bane of choice.

+Atk for a +10 merge

We recommend +Atk when merging Summer Dimitri to +10. The higher his Atk is, the more damage he can dish out with Atrocity. This will allow him to punch through even the sturdiest of walls.

Summer Dimitri Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Summer Dimitri Roles

Dimitri - Sky Blue Lion 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

Summer Dimitri 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.

Summer Dimitri Strengths

Unyielding Oar is a powerful weapon that grants bonuses and can attack twice

Summer Dimitri's makeshift Areadbhar Unyielding Oar has multiple different effects that work together to ensure combat goes in his favor.

Below is a summary of these effects:

Condition(s)	Effect
Always	Enables 【Canto (Rem. +1)】.
Always	Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1).
Summer Dimitri's HP ≥ 25% at start of combat	Grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 to Summer Dimitri during combat.
Summer Dimitri's HP ≥ 25% at start of combat 【Bonus】 is active on foe OR Summer Dimitri's Spd ≥ foe's Spd+10	Summer Dimitri attacks twice.

Atrocity grants bonus true damage and slows down enemy Specials

Summer Dimitri also comes with Atrocity similar to most of his other alternate versions in the game.

Together with the brave effect of Unyielding Oar, you can trigger the true damage effect twice or even four times, guaranteeing victory against most foes!

Summer Dimitri Weaknesses

Weak to Cavalry Effective Weapons

Summer Dimitri 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/her down. Make sure you know what weapons you are up against before hopping too far into the line of battle!
