Color / Weapon Type / Move Type
Rarity
What Kind of Character Are They? ・ Weapon skill grants visible stat bonuses and inflicts visible stat penalties onto foes at the start of either phase, inflicts in-combat penalties onto foes, and grants damage reduction on foe's first attack.

Gregor Skills at 5★


Might: 16  Range: 1
Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). At start of player or enemy phase, if any foes are within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit, inflicts Atk/Spd/Def-6 on those foes through their next actions and grants Atk/Spd/Def+6 to unit for 1 turn. If unit initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally, inflicts penalty on foe's Atk/Spd/Def during combat = 5 + any current penalty on each of those stats. (example: if foe has -7 penalty to Atk, inflicts Atk-12, for a net penalty of Atk-19 during combat; calculates each stat penalty independently) and reduces damage from foe's first attack during combat by 40%.

Cooldown Count = 3
Boosts damage dealt by 50% of unit’s Def.

Grants Atk/Def+7. Inflicts Res-5.

At start of turn, grants 【Null Follow-Up】 to infantry allies within 2 spaces of unit.

Gregor Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (18) HP Superbane ★★★☆☆
Atk (14) Attack Boon ★★★★★
Spd (11) No Spd IV ★★★☆☆
Def (8) No Def IV ★★★★★
Res (4) 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.

+Atk / -Res

The best IVs for Gregor are +Atk and -Res. As a bruiser unit, he needs Atk in order to perform his role and defeat enemies once he has tanked their attack. +Def can also work when building him as more of a tank unit.

His Res is below average and he shouldn't be facing enemies that deal magic damage anyway. It is a safe bane to take.

+Atk for a +10 Merge

We recommend +Atk when boosting Gregor to +10 for similar reasons above. +Def can also work for a tank build.

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

Gregor Strengths

Blade of Favors triggers on both phases and swings Atk/Spd/Def heavily

Gregor Attack Fire Emblem Heroes FEH

Gregor's Blade of Favors triggers an Atk/Spd/Def Menace effect onto all nearby foes both player phase and enemy phase, ensuring that the stat swings are active at all times.

In addition to this, it also inflicts Atk/Spd/Def-5 onto his foe and applies a penalty doubler effect which stacks with the stat penalties already applied by the Menace effect, and also applies 40% damage reduction onto his foe's first attack.

All of these effects make Gregor a very sturdy physical wall that also hits back hard.

Gregor Weaknesses

Vulnerable to Magic Damage

Gregor's entire kit focuses on raw stat checks on Atk/Spd/Def, leaving his Res as a weak point. This weakness is further emphasized by his native Solid Ground 4, which cuts his Res by 5.

Keep Gregor away from foes that deal magic damage to ensure he wins in combat.

Value of Skills ★★★★☆

Gregor comes with Solid Ground 4 and Inf. Null Follow 3 as viable inheritance options.

Both of these skills are a bit niche, but can be quite powerful in the right circumstances.
