Fujin-Raijin Yumi Might: 14　 Range: 2 Enables 【Canto (1)】. Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). Effective against flying and armored foes.

Deadeye Cooldown Count = 3 Doubles damage dealt. Disables non-Special skills that "reduce damage by X%."

Atk/Spd Catch 4 At start of combat, if foe's HP=100% or if【Penalty】is active on foe, grants Atk/Spd+7 to unit during combat. At start of combat, if foe's HP=100% and【Penalty】is active on foe, grants an additional Atk/Spd+2 to unit during combat. 【Penalty】 All effects that last "on foe through its next action."

Wings of Mercy 4 Inflicts Def/Res-3 on foe during combat. If unit is within 3 spaces of an ally and that ally's HP ≤ 99%, unit can move to a space adjacent to that ally. If an ally's HP ≤ 60%, unit can move to a space within 2 spaces of that ally.

Legendary Hinoka Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (18)		★★★☆☆
Atk (7)		★★★★★
Spd (16)		★★★★★
Def (4)		★★☆☆☆
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 / -Def

The best IVs for Legendary Hinoka are +Spd and -Def. Boosting Hinoka's Spd improves her potential to create follow-up attacks as well as maximize her chances of winning the Spd check of Fujin-Raijin Yumi.

Legendary Hinoka's defensive stats are below average; one hit from any halfway decent attacker should be enough to bring her down. Any of her defensive stats can be safely taken as a bane; we recommend Def due to her status as a ranged hero.

+Spd for a +10 merge

We recommend +Spd when merging up Legendary Hinoka to +10 for similar reasons above. Maximizing her Spd improves her performance the most.

General Use / Budget Legendary Hinoka

HOT
： Fujin-Raijin Yumi ： Reposition ： Deadeye ： -	： Atk/Spd Catch 4 ： Wings of Mercy 4 ： Rallying Cry ： Blade Session 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

Legendary Hinoka's base kit is already quite good, allowing her to function as both an offensive and a supportive unit. Blade Session is used due to Hinoka's terrible bulk - she will be knocked out in one hit anyway and boosting defenses is a waste.

Legendary Hinoka Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Legendary Hinoka Roles

Hinoka - Thundering Wings 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

Legendary Hinoka is a ranged physical attacker (range = 2). 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.

Legendary Hinoka Strengths

Fujin-Raijin Yumi

Legendary Hinoka's Fujin-Raijin Yumi has multiple effects that make her a formidable offensive unit on the battlefield.

This exclusive weapon grants the following effects:

• Enables 【Canto (1)】
• Accelerates Hinoka's Special trigger
• Deals effective damage against both armored and flying foes
• Grants Atk/Spd+6 during combat
• Grants true damage equal to 20% of Hinoka's Spd (including when using area-of-effect Specials)
• Neutralizes effects that prevent Hinoka's follow-up attacks
• Prevents foe's counterattacks if either Hinoka outspeeds her foe or if she has weapon-triangle advantage

All of these effects impact combat greatly, and combined, make Legendary Hinoka a unit capable of mounting a strong offensive.

Rallying Cry

Legendary Hinoka also has an exclusive C skill in Rallying Cry. This skill grants multiple buffs to herself and her allies and inflicts debuffs onto multiple foes.

Below is a summary of all of this skill's effects:

Condition(s)	Effect
Always	Inflicts Spd/Def/Res-5 on infantry, armored, and cavalry foes within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit during combat.
Legendary Hinoka is within 2 spaces of an ally at the start of turn	Grants "Special cooldown charge +1 per attack during combat" to Hinoka and allies within 2 spaces of Hinoka for 1 turn.
Legendary Hinoka is within 2 spaces of an ally at the start of turn	Grants 【Charge】 to Hinoka and flying allies within 2 spaces of Hinoka for 1 turn.

This skill grants the positive effects to herself and her allies directly; Legendary Hinoka does not need to be nearby when her allies attack. This is perfect to combat effects like Embla's Severance which turns off effects of skills from allies.

Rallying Cry makes Legendary Hinoka a versatile unit capable of defeating enemies and aiding her allies through support effects.

Legendary Hinoka Weaknesses

Terrible Bulk

Legendary Hinoka's defensive stats aren't very good, at only base 40 HP, base 23 Def, and base 22 Res.

She is very prone to getting knocked out by any decent attacker in the game. Keep her away from the action and only approach with her when the coast is clear.

Weak to Bows

As a flying unit, Legendary Hinoka 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.
