Fomortiis Skills at 5★


Might: 14  Range: 1
Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, inflicts Special cooldown charge -1 per attack on foe and Atk/Def-6 on foe during combat (only highest value applied; does not stack), and also, if unit is transformed, grants Special cooldown charge +1 per attack to unit during combat (only highest value applied; does not stack). If unit's HP ≥ 25% at start of combat and foe initiates combat, reduces damage from foe's follow-up attack by 80% during combat. 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, grants Atk+2, and if foe initiates combat, unit can counterattack regardless of foe's range.

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

If unit can transform, transformation effects gain "if unit is within 2 spaces of a beast or dragon ally, or if number of adjacent allies other than beast or dragon allies ≤ 2" as a trigger condition (in addition to existing conditions).
If defending in Aether Raids, at the start of enemy turn 1, if conditions for transforming are met, unit transforms.
Inflicts Atk/Def-10 on foe, neutralizes foe's bonuses to Atk/Def, reduces damage from foe's first attack by 30% ("first attack" normally means only the first strike; for effects that grant "unit attacks twice," it means the first and second strikes), reduces damage from foe's first attack by an additional 15 ("first attack" normally means only the first strike; for effects that grant "unit attacks twice," it means the first and second strikes), and grants Special cooldown count-2 to unit before foe's first attack during combat.
If foe initiates combat, after combat, the closest foes within 4 spaces of target who have yet to act have their actions end immediately.

If unit initiates combat or is within 3 spaces of an ally, inflicts Atk/Def-4 on foe, deals damage = 20% of unit's Def (excluding area-of-effect Specials), reduces damage from foe's attacks by 20% of unit's Def (excluding area-of-effect Specials), unit makes a guaranteed follow-up attack, and reduces the percentage of foe's non-Special "reduce damage by X%" skills by 50% during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials).

If a foe uses bow, dagger, magic, or staff and initiates combat against an ally with 2 spaces of unit, triggers【Savior】on unit.
If unit triggers Savior, grants Atk/Def+4 during combat.
【Savior】
Unit takes ally’s space, enters combat in ally’s place, and receives all after-combat effects.
Doesn't trigger if ally is on terrain that unit can't move to or if multiple units are able to use Savior during the same combat. If Savior triggers, after-combat movement effects don't occur.

Fomortiis Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (22) Normal HP ★★★★☆
Atk (14) Attack Boon ★★★★★
Spd (5) Spd Boon ★☆☆☆☆
Def (9) No Def IV ★★★★★
Res (9) No Res IV ★★★★☆

◯ = 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 / -Spd

The best IVs for Fomortiis are +Atk and -Spd. Atk is a superboon and boosting it improves his combat performance, allowing him to potentially knock out his foes.

His Spd is a clear dump stat and he will be outsped by a large majority of the cast. Thus, it is the bane of choice.

+Atk for a +10 merge

We recommend +Atk when merging Fomortiis to +10 in order to improve his damage output. If optimizing for bulk, +Def is also a good choice.

Fomortiis Best Weapon Refine

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
SP: 400
Might: 14 Range: 1 HP: 3
Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1).
Inflicts Atk/Def-6 on foe, inflicts Special cooldown charge -1 on foe per attack (only highest value applied; does not stack), and grants Special cooldown charge +1 to unit per attack during combat (only highest value applied; does not stack).
Reduces damage from foe's follow-up attack by 80%, reduces damage from foe's follow-up attack by an additional 25, and reduces damage from foe's Specials by an additional 15 during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials).
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, grants Atk+2, and unit can counterattack regardless of foe's range.
At start of player phase or enemy phase, grants Atk/Def+6, 【Fringe Bonus】, and 【Imbue】 to unit and allies within 2 spaces of unit for 1 turn.
Inflicts Atk/Def-11 on foe, and unit deals +25 damage during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials).
Arena Medal:500 Divine Dew:200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Ravager

Refined Ravager inflicts Atk/Def-17 on Fomortiis' foe, slows down their Special charges and speeds up his own.

In combat, refined Ravager grants Fomortiis +25 bonus true damage, 80% damage reduction on his foe's follow-up attack, +25 true damage reduction on his foe's follow-up attack, and +15 true damage reduction on foe's Specials.

At the start of each phase, refined Ravager grants Atk/Def+6, 【Fringe Bonus】, and 【Imbue】 to Fomortiis and allies within 2 spaces.

Refined Ravager heavily skews combat in Fomortiis' favor while giving him superb defensive effects. It even has good support by granting 【Fringe Bonus】, and 【Imbue】 to nearby allies, making it a great utility weapon in cases where Fomortiis cannot enter combat.

Fomortiis 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.

Fomortiis Strengths

Ravager has multiple in-combat effects

Fomortiis Attack Fire Emblem Heroes FEH

Fomortiis comes with a new weapon refine for Ravager. When refined, it inflicts Atk/Def-17 on Fomortiis' foe, slows down their Special charges and speeds up his own.

In combat, refined Ravager grants Fomortiis +25 bonus true damage, 80% damage reduction on his foe's follow-up attack, +25 true damage reduction on his foe's follow-up attack, and +15 true damage reduction on foe's Specials.

At the start of each phase, refined Ravager grants Atk/Def+6, 【Fringe Bonus】, and 【Imbue】 to Fomortiis and allies within 2 spaces.

Refined Ravager heavily skews combat in Fomortiis' favor while giving him superb defensive effects. It even has good support by granting 【Fringe Bonus】, and 【Imbue】 to nearby allies, making it a great utility weapon in cases where Fomortiis cannot enter combat.

Nightmare+ inflicts massive Atk/Def penalties, grants damage reduction, and forcefully ends foe's turns

Fomortiis also has an exclusive remixed A skill in Nightmare+. This skill grants Fomortiis easier transformation conditions, inflicts Atk/Def-10 on his foe, neutralizes their Atk/Def bonuses, and grants Fomortiis 30% damage reduction on first attack, +15 true damage reduction on first attack, and a Special jumping effect before the foe's first attack.

More importantly, after combat, Nightmare+ ends the turn of the closest foes within 4 spaces of the foe who attacked him. This is an amazing effect which indirectly improves his survival by receiving less attacks, and the 4 space condition makes it a difficult skill to play around. Galeforce teams will require careful positioning in order to avoid this effect.

Armored Defense Mythic

Fomortiis' status as an Armored Defense Mythic hero allows him to fulfill the Savior role without taking up a valuable non-Mythic hero slot in Aether Raids Defense team compositions. He can equip Savior skills and protect the team from powerful initiators, while the rest of his team can be fully geared towards offensive performance.

While Duma is another Armored Defense Mythic, his C slot is occupied by Upheaval+, which is the primary reason to field Duma. Fomortiis doesn't have an exclusive skill in his C slot, allowing him to equip Savior skills while fulfilling his non-Savior role.

His overall bulk is impressive, with base 46 HP, 46 Def, and 44 Res. His base 46 Def is quite high despite being an older hero, and his base 44 Res is also decently high. He will need these stats in order to fulfill his role, as he will not receive Mythic blessing bonuses due to being a Mythic hero himself.

Fomortiis Weaknesses

Weak to Armor Effective Weapons

Fomortiis takes 1.5x damage from armor-effective weapons like Slaying Hammer+, Randgríðr, or Thani, and one blow from this type of weapon will deal significant damage. Make sure you know what weapons you are up against before hopping too far into the line of battle!

Weak to Beast Effective Weapons

Fomortiis 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 will deal significant damage. Make sure you know what weapons you are up against before hopping too far into the line of battle!
