Harken Skills at 5★


Might: 11  Range: 1
Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). Unit attacks twice (even if foe initiates combat, unit attacks twice.) At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 to unit, reduces damage from foe's first attack by 40%, and grants Special cooldown charge +1 to unit per attack during combat (only highest value applied; does not stack). For each foe within 4 spaces of unit, unit can move to any of the nearest spaces adjacent to that foe (unless space is impassable terrain).

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

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

At start of combat, if unit's HP ≤ 99% and unit initiates combat or if foe's HP = 100% and unit initiates combat, inflicts Def/Res-4 on foe, reduces damage from foe's first attack by 30%, unit makes a guaranteed follow-up attack, and unit's next attack deals damage equal to total damage reduced (resets at end of combat; only highest value applied; does not stack).

Harken Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (19) HP Superbane ★★★☆☆
Atk (7) Attack Boon ★★★★★
Spd (6) No Spd IV ★★★☆☆
Def (16) Def Boon ★★★★★
Res (8) Res Boon ★★★☆☆

◯ = 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 Harken are +Atk and -Res. Atk is a superboon and is applied twice, or even up to four times, with Troubling Blade's brave effect. Boosting Atk improves Harken's combat potential more than any other stat.

Harken's Res is below average and can be safely taken as a bane as it won't impact most of his matchups.

+Atk for a +10 merge

We recommend +Atk when merging Harken up to +10 to maximize his damage output.

Harken 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.

Harken Strengths

Troubling Blade attacks twice, speeds up Specials, and improves mobility

Harken Attack Fire Emblem Heroes FEH

Harken's Troubling Blade attacks twice in combat and grants Harken Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5, 40% damage reduction on his foe's first attack, and Special cooldown charge +1 per attack.

Outside combat, Harken can move to the nearest space adjacent to any foe within 4 spaces of Harken, allowing him to approach enemy units other heroes otherwise couldn't.

High Def

Harken also has a very high base 46 Def, raised to 50 if a superboon is applied. This allows him to serve as a frontline unit to soak up physical damage from his foes.

Harken Weaknesses

Average Spd and Res

Harken's Spd is middling at only base 32, which is not enough in today's metagame to avoid follow-up attacks from speedy units and some heavy nukers.

His Res is also subpar at only base 27, leaving him vulnerable to fast mages.
