Winter Cordelia Skills at 5★

Inseverable Spear Might: 16　 Range: 1 Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). At start of turn, if unit is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants the following effects to unit and allies within 2 spaces of unit for 1 turn: "unit can move to a space adjacent to an ally within 2 spaces" and 【Dual Strike】. If unit initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Spd+6 and Special cooldown charge +1 to unit per attack during combat. (Only highest value applied. Does not stack.) 【Dual Strike】 If unit initiates combat and is adjacent to an ally with Dual Strike (excluding unit), unit attacks twice. (That turn only. Does not stack.)

Winter Cordelia Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (18)		★★★☆☆
Atk (14)		★★★★★
Spd (10)		★★★★★
Def (7)		★★★☆☆
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 Winter Cordelia are +Atk and -Res. Her Atk is very high at base 44, and increased to base 48 with a superboon. 【Dual Strike】 allows her to dish out brave attacks and quickly defeat her foes; boosting her Atk improves this significantly.

Her Res is a clear dump stat at only base 23 and can be safely taken as a bane.

The exception is if you're opting for a support Winter Cordelia build which aims to win the Res check against Elimine. In this case, we recommend +Res as a boon.

+Atk for a +10 Merge

We recommend +Atk when merging Winter Cordelia up to +10 for similar reasons above. Atk is her most important stat and should be boosted as much as possible.

Winter Cordelia Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Winter Cordelia Roles

Cordelia - Unyielding Snow 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

Winter Cordelia 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.

Winter Cordelia Strengths

Inseverable Spear grants Orders and Dual Strike to herself and nearby allies

Winter Cordelia's Inseverable Spear accelerates her Special trigger and grants the Orders buff and 【Dual Strike】 to herself and allies within 2 spaces at the start of each turn.

【Dual Strike】 allows units to attack twice if they are adjacent to another unit with 【Dual Strike】.

This effect is very similar to Bridal Catria's Wedding-Bell Axe. The differences between these two are:

• Inseverable Spear's 【Dual Strike】 only requires one nearby ally, but the ally has to be adjacent to another ally with 【Dual Strike】.
• Wedding-Bell Axe's 【Triangle Attack】 requires two allies, but they can be within 2 spaces instead.

Additionally, when initiating combat or being within two spaces of an ally, Inseverable Spear also grants Winter Cordelia Atk/Spd+6 and Special cooldown acceleration.

With a brave effect and Special acceleration, Winter Cordelia can reliably charge up her equipped Galeforce and obtain another action. Alternatively, she can equip a 3 cooldown Special like Luna and immediately trigger it using the brave effect.

Harmonized Skill grants Atk/Spd buffs and Treachery

Winter Cordelia's Harmonized Skill grants Atk/Spd+6, 【Resonance: Blades】, and 【Treachery】 to herself and her allies from Awakening and Fates.

【Treachery】 is a blade effect similar to blade tomes like Gronnblade+. It grants bonus damage equal to the amount of stat bonuses applied to the unit.

This Harmonized Skill allows Winter Cordelia and her team to punch through even the sturdiest of tanks with massive bonus damage!

Winter Cordelia Weaknesses

Weak to Bows

As a flying unit, Winter Cordelia 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.
