Ascended Hilda Skills at 5★

Fuming Freikugel Might: 16　 Range: 1 Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). At start of combat for allies within 2 spaces of unit, if the ally has Def > unit's Def or if unit has not entered combat during the current phase, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+3 and "reduces damage from foe's first attack by 20%" to those allies during combat. At start of unit's combat, if unit is not within 2 spaces of any allies with Def > unit's Def or if unit is not adjacent to an ally, grants Atk/Spd+6 to unit during combat, reduces damage from foe's first attack by 40% during combat, and deals damage = X% of unit's Spd when Special triggers (X = unit's max Special cooldown count value x 10, + 20; excludes area-of-effect Specials).

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

Atk/Spd Solo 4 If unit is not adjacent to an ally, grants Atk/Spd +7 during combat.

Velocity 3 If unit's Spd > foe's Spd, reduces damage from attacks during combat and from area-of-effect Specials (excluding Røkkr area-of-effect Specials) by percentage = difference between stats × 4 (max 40%). Neutralizes effects that inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on unit.

Joint Drive Spd Grants Spd +4 to allies within 2 spaces during combat. If unit is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Spd +4 to unit during combat.

Ascended Hilda Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (18)		★★★★☆
Atk (12)		★★★★★
Spd (13)		★★★★★
Def (8)		★★★☆☆
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.

+Spd/-Res

The best IVs for Ascended Hilda are +Spd and -Res. Spd is a superboon and boosts her already very high Spd up to base 47. This lets her compete with the fastest units in the metagame.

We chose Res as a bane because her base 26 Res isn't high enough to shrug off magic damage. Lowering it further will not impact most of her matchups.

+Spd for a +10 merge

We recommend +Spd when merging Ascended Hilda to +10 for similar reasons above. Spd is her most important stat and should be prioritized.

Ascended Hilda Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Ascended Hilda Roles

Hilda - Helping Hand 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 Hilda is a close physical attacker (range = 1). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage she deals will be equivalent to her Atk minus the foe's Def stat.

Ascended Hilda Strengths

Fuming Freikugel helps both Hilda and her allies with multiple effects

Ascended Hilda's new Fuming Freikugel looks confusing, but it is a powerful weapon that impacts battles for both Ascended Hilda and her allies.

We have summarized its effects into these tables below:

Effects granted to Ascended Hilda

Condition(s)	Effect
Always	Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1).
Ascended Hilda is NOT within 2 spaces of any ally with Def > Ascended Hilda's Def OR Ascended Hilda is not adjacent to any ally	Grants Atk/Spd+6 to Ascended Hilda during combat.
Ascended Hilda is NOT within 2 spaces of any ally with Def > Ascended Hilda's Def OR Ascended Hilda is not adjacent to any ally	Reduces damage from foe's first attack during combat by 40%.
Ascended Hilda is NOT within 2 spaces of any ally with Def > Ascended Hilda's Def OR Ascended Hilda is not adjacent to any ally	Deals true damage = X% of Ascended Hilda's Spd when her Special triggers.

X% = Ascended Hilda's maximum Special cooldown count value x 10, +20. Excludes area-of-effect Specials.

Effects granted to Ascended Hilda's allies

Condition(s)	Effect
Ally is within 2 spaces of Ascended Hilda Ally has Def > Ascended Hilda's Def OR Ascended Hilda has not entered combat during the current phase	Grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+3 to ally during combat.
Ally is within 2 spaces of Ascended Hilda Ally has Def > Ascended Hilda's Def OR Ascended Hilda has not entered combat during the current phase	Reduces damage dealt to ally from foe's first attack by 20%.

To simplify things further, always have Ascended Hilda's allies within 2 spaces of her, and always have Ascended Hilda attack last and without any adjacent allies. Doing these will ensure that the conditions are met.

Ascended Hilda Weaknesses

Fuming Freikugel has complicated conditions

Fuming Freikugel's conditions require careful planning in order to maximize their effects. It can be easy to forget the conditions, leaving Ascended Hilda and her allies without the effects granted by this weapon.

Plan out your turns before acting in order to avoid making this simple mistake.
