Eitr Skills at 5★

Arcane Nihility 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 and Atk/Spd/Def/Res+X to unit, inflicts Atk/Spd/Def/Res-X on foe (X = current bonus on each of foe's stats; calculates each stat bonus and penalty independently), and deals damage = 15% of unit's Spd during combat (including when dealing damage with a Special triggered before combat), and also, if unit's Spd > foe's Spd, neutralizes effects that guarantee foe's follow-up attacks and effects that prevent unit's follow-up attacks during combat. At start of turn, if unit is adjacent to only beast or dragon allies or is not adjacent to any ally, unit transforms (otherwise, unit reverts). If unit transforms, grants Atk+2 to unit, inflicts Atk/Def-X on foe during combat (X = number of spaces from start position to end position of whoever initiated combat + 3; max 6), and also, if X ≥ 5, reduces damage from foe's first attack by 30% during combat.

Luna Cooldown Count = 3 Treats foe's Def/Res as if reduced by 50% during combat.

Power of Nihility If number of allies adjacent to unit ≤ 1, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+9 to unit and grants Special cooldown charge +1 to unit per attack during combat (only highest value applied; does not stack), and also, if unit deals damage to foe using a Special during combat, restores X% of unit's max HP to unit (X = unit's max Special cooldown count value x 20, + 10; max 100; triggers even if 0 damage is dealt).

Beast Sense 4 Removes the condition to transform. Inflicts Spd/Def-4 on foe during combat. If a skill compares unit's Spd to a foe's or ally's Spd, treats unit's Spd as if granted +7. If unit's Spd > foe's Spd, reduces damage from attacks during combat and from area-of-effect Specials (excluding Røkkr area-of-effect Specials) by X% (X = difference between Spd stats x 4; max 40).

Alarm Atk/Spd At start of turn, if number of allies adjacent to unit ≤ 2, grants Atk/Spd+6 and 【Canto (1)】 to unit for 1 turn. If number of allies adjacent to unit ≤ 1, grants Atk/Spd+3 to unit during combat.

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (18)		★★★☆☆
Atk (11)		★★★★★

◯ = Stat gains +4 with a superboon, ✕= Stat goes down by -4 with a superbane, - = No assets or flaws

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 Eitr are +Spd and -Res. Eitr's Spd is a superboon and taking it boosts her base Spd to 50. Having a Null Follow-Up effect on Arcane Nihility stresses the importance of outspeeding her foes even further, and taking this boon helps Eitr win those crucial Spd checks.

Eitr's Res is a clear dump stat, sitting at only base 16. No amount of investment will protect Eitr from magic damage, thus, taking Res as a bane is the best choice.

+Spd for a +10 Merge

We recommend +Spd when merging Eitr up to +10 to ensure she wins as many Spd checks as possible.

How to Use, Explanation

Eitr's base kit is already good enough to perform an offensive role. Boosting Spd helps Eitr make follow-up attacks and improves her damage reduction from Beast Sense 4.

Eitr Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Eitr Roles

Eitr - Hand of Nothing 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

Eitr 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.

Eitr Strengths

Arcane Nihility has multiple effects in combat

Eitr's Arcane Nihility is the first inheritable beast weapon in game, allowing other cavalry beast units with outdated weapons to improve upon their kits.

Arcane Nihility grants Eitr Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 initially, and then grants another Atk/Spd/Def/Res bonus equal to the current bonus on each of her foe's stats and inflicts an Atk/Spd/Def/Res penalty onto her foe for the same amount. This effect essentially steals her foe's visible bonuses and takes them for herself.

Arcane Nihility also deals true damage equal to 15% of Eitr's Spd during combat, and if Eitr outspeeds her foe, she gains a Null Follow-Up effect as well.

Arcane Nihility has similar transformation requirements as other beast weapons. The effects Eitr gains upon transforming are:

• Atk+2;
• Inflicts an Atk/Def-X penalty onto her foe during combat equal to distance travelled by the unit who initiated combat;
• If the penalty above is ≥ 5, reduces damage from foe's first attack by 30%

Power of Nihility

Eitr also has an exclusive A skill in Power of Nihility. This skill grants Eitr Atk/Spd/Def/Res+9 and accelerated Special charges per attack if Eitr has either one or no allies adjacent to her during combat.

Additionally, If this condition is met, whenever Eitr deals damage to her foe using an offensive Special, she heals for a percentage of her max HP based on the cooldown of her Special. A 1-cooldown Special (due to her accelerated trigger) would heal for 30% of her max HP, while a 4-cooldown Special would heal for 90% of her max HP.

This effect improves upon Eitr's combat potential while also providing good sustain to ensure her survival throughout multiple engagements.

Eitr Weaknesses

Weak to Cavalry Effective Weapons

Eitr takes 1.5x damage from cavalry-effective weapons like Thani or Binding Reginleif, 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

Eitr 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!
