Embla Skills at 5★

Enclosing Claw Might: 14　 Range: 1 Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 to unit during combat, inflicts penalty on foe's Atk/Spd/Def during combat = number of foes within 3 columns or 3 rows centered on unit × 3 (max: 9), neutralizes effects that inflict "Special cooldown charge -X"on unit, and also, if the number of foes within 3 columns or 3 rows centered on unit ≥ 2, neutralizes effects that guarantee foe's follow-up attacks and inflicts Special cooldown charge -1 on foe per attack during combat. (Only highest value applied. Does not stack.) At start of turn, if unit is adjacent to only beast or dragon allies or if unit is not adjacent to any ally, unit transforms (otherwise, unit reverts). If unit transforms, unit can move 1 extra space. (That turn only. Does not stack.) If unit transforms, grants Atk+2.

Draconic Aura Cooldown Count = 3 Boosts Atk by 30%.

Atk/Spd Clash 4 If unit or foe initiates combat after moving to a different space, grants bonus to unit's Atk/Spd during combat = X + 6 (X = number of spaces moved by whoever initated combat; max 4.) If X ≥ 2, neutralizes unit's penalties to Atk/Spd during combat.

Beast Agility 3 Removes the condition to transform. If unit's Spd > foe's Spd, neutralizes effects that prevent unit's follow-up attacks during combat.

Severance At start of turn, inflicts 【Undefended】 and 【Feud】 on foes within 3 columns or 3 rows centered on unit. At start of turn, if a foe is within 3 columns or 3 rows centered on unit, neutralizes any 【Penalty】 (excluding penalties inflicted at start of turn) and grants 【Dodge】 to unit. 【Undefended】 Unit cannot be protected by Savior through their next action. 【Feud】 Disables all ally skills (excluding unit's) during combat through unit's next action.

Embla Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (19)		★★★☆☆
Atk (13)		★★★★★
Spd (11)		★★★★★
Def (5)		★★★☆☆
Res (5)		★★☆☆☆

◯ = 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 Embla are +Spd and -Res. Her Spd at base 44 is the among the fastest in the game as of the time of her release, and 【Dodge】 from Severance benefits off the additional Spd as well.

Her Res is below average and is her least important stat, thus it is safe to take as a bane.

+Spd for a +10 merge

We recommend +Spd when merging Embla to +10 for similar reasons above. Spd is her most important stat and aids her both offensively and defensively.

： Enclosing Claw ： Reposition ： Luna ： -	： Atk/Spd Clash 4 ： Beast Agility 3 ： Severance ： Atk/Spd Form 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

Embla's base kit works fine for Aether Raids defense. In Catria Balls, replacing Beast Agility with another skill may work better to keep her near her allies. We recommend Dive-Bomb for offensive power, or a movement utility skill like Aerobatics to enhance her mobility.

Embla Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Embla Roles

Embla - God of Closure 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

Embla 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/her Atk minus the foe's Def stat.

Embla Strengths

Enclosing Claw applies various penalties

Embla's Enclosing Claw is a loaded weapon that heavily hinders her foe's performance during combat.

It grants Embla Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 during combat and inflicts the following penalties to her foe:

• Inflicts Atk/Spd/Def stat penalties = number of foes within 3 columns/rows centered on Embla x 3 (max: 9).
• Neutralizes effects that slow down Embla's Special cooldown charges.
• Neutralizes effects that guarantee her foe's follow-up attacks.
• Inflicts Special cooldown charge -1 on foe per attack during combat.

As a flying beast, Enclosing Claw also has the traditional transformation requirement and effects, granting Embla movement+1 and Atk+2 when transformed.

Severance is loaded with useful effects

Embla's exclusive C skill Severance is a very powerful skill that neuters many metagame-relevant effects.

It inflicts 【Undefended】 and 【Feud】 on all foes within 3 columns or 3 rows centered on Embla at the start of the turn, neutralizes any penalties on Embla, and grants herself 【Dodge】.

【Undefended】 as a status condition prevents Savior skills from protecting the affected unit. Savior Skills are very common in the metagame and disabling them will easily destroy an enemy composition centered around these effects.

【Feud】 as a status condition disables all ally's skills from enhancing the affected unit. Support units are common when using a tanking strategy and this status effectively removes them from the fight.

These effects ensure a 1v1 (or better) situation for every combat, not only for Embla herself, but for her allies as well!

Beast Agility 3 allows easy transformation

Embla also debuts a new B skill in Beast Agility 3. It removes all transformation conditions, allowing Embla to always be at peak performance.

It also neutralizes effects that prevent the unit's follow-up attacks, which is very useful for speedy units like Embla.

Embla Weaknesses

Reliance on Enclosing Claw's HP threshold

Enclosing Claw's effects are all tied to Embla being at HP ≥ 25%. Whenever she fails the HP check, Enclosing Claw becomes a generic weapon with no effects.

While 【Dodge】 from Severance reduces damage taken, caution is still necessary to prevent Enclosing Claw from being weakened.

Weak to Bows

As a flying unit, Embla takes 1.5x damage from bows and weapons effective on flying units. Be sure to keep them out of the range of archers and leave them to other units.

Weak to Beast Effective Weapons

Embla takes 1.5x damage from beast-effective weapons like Brave Eliwood's Nini's Ice Lance or Picnic Flora's Sæhrímnir, and one blow from this type of weapon is sure to take her down. Make sure you know what weapons you are up against before hopping too far into the line of battle!

Embla as a Source Hero

Value of Skills	★★★★★

Embla has Atk/Spd Clash 4 and Beast Agility 3 as valuable inheritance options.

Beast Agility 3 is a unique skill and is worth giving to your favorite beast units if you are using them in a mixed team composition.

However, Embla is a very strong hero; think carefully before using her as fodder.
