Legendary Corrin (M) Skills at 5★

Hoshido's Breath Might: 16　 Range: 1 Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). Unit can counterattack regardless of foe's range. At start of turn, if unit's HP ≥ 25% and unit's Special cooldown count is at its maximum value, grants Special cooldown count-1 to unit. At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants bonus to unit's Atk/Spd/Def/Res = number of allies within 3 spaces of unit x 3, + 5 (max 14), and reduces damage from foe's first attack by 7 during combat ("first attack" normally means only the first strike; for effects that grant "unit attacks twice," it means the first and second strikes), and also, if foe's attack can trigger foe's Special and unit's Res ≥ foe's Res+5, inflicts Special cooldown count+1 on foe before foe's first attack during combat (cannot exceed foe's maximum Special cooldown). If unit's HP ≥ 25% at start of combat and if unit's Special cooldown count value is at its maximum after combat, grants Special cooldown count-1 to unit after combat. If foe's Range = 2, calculates damage using the lower of foe's Def or Res.

Dragon Fang Shot Cooldown Count = 2 Boosts Special damage by 40% of unit's Res when Special triggers. If unit's Res > foe's Res, reduces damage from attacks during combat and from area-of-effect Specials (excluding Røkkr area-of-effect Specials) by percentage = 4 - current Special cooldown count value, x difference between stats (max difference between stats: 10). If unit's Special is ready or if unit's Special triggered during combat, reduces the percentage of foe's non-Special "reduce damage by X%" skills by 50%. After combat, if unit's Special triggered, applies 【Divine Vein (Water)】 on target's space and on each space within 2 spaces of target's space for 1 turn. 【Divine Vein (Water)】 Applies the following effects on space: Acts as difficult terrain for foes with Range = 2 (moving over this space costs +1 movement; does not apply to "cannot be slowed by terrain" effects; movement cost cannot exceed unit's allowed movement). Inflicts Spd-5 on foe and reduces the percentage of non-Special "reduce damage by X%" skills by 50% during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials).

Spd/Res Finish 4 If unit is within 3 spaces of an ally, grants Spd/Res+7 to unit during combat, and also, if unit's Special is ready or unit's Special triggered before or during this combat, deals +5 damage during combat (except when dealing damage with area-of-effect Specials) and when unit deals damage during combat, restores 7 HP to unit. (Triggers even if 0 damage is dealt.)

High Dragon Wall If a skill compares unit's Res to a foe's or ally's Res, treats unit's Res as if granted +5. Inflicts Spd/Res-4 on foe during combat. If unit's Res > foe's Res, reduces damage from attacks during combat and from area-of-effect Specials (excluding Røkkr area-of-effect Specials) by percentage = difference between stats x 4 (max 40%). Foes with Range = 2 cannot warp into spaces within 4 spaces of unit (does not affect foes with Pass skills or warp effects from structures, like camps and fortresses in Rival Domains).

Atk/Res Ploy 3 At start of player phase or enemy phase, if any foes within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit have Res < unit's Res+5, inflicts Atk/Res-7, 【Ploy】, and 【Exposure】 on those foes through their next actions. 【Ploy】 Neutralizes 【Bonus Doubler】, 【Treachery】, and 【Grand Strategy】 effects active on unit during combat through unit's next action.

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 / -HP

The best IVs for Legendary Corrin (M) are +Spd and -HP. Corrin's Spd is a superboon and boosts his Spd from base 46 to base 50, allowing him to keep up with all the fast metagame units with similar investment.

Boosting +Res is also an option in order to improve his Res checks, but this leaves him prone to follow-up attacks from faster units. Corrin's Res is already high enough to achieve maximum value with his Res checks against most of the speedy units in the game; we feel that Spd is more important when facing these enemies.

We opted for a -HP bane because HP is the easiest stat to patch up through blessings and other bonuses. Corrin makes good use of every stat as an Omnitank unit, and HP is the bane that impacts his performance the least.

+Spd for a +10 merge

We recommend +Spd when merging Legendary Corrin (M) up to +10 in order to ensure he wins the Spd check against his foes. His Res is already high enough to win most Res checks, and if ever he loses a Res check, it is very likely that he is faster than his foe and can create a follow-up attack to compensate.

How to Use, Explanation

Corrin's base kit is already good enough to function as an Omnitank unit. He needs Spd and Res to maximize his stat checks, thus we use a Spd/Res boosting Sacred Seal. We opted for Form, but the others are viable as well.

Legendary Corrin (M) Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Legendary Corrin (M) Roles

Corrin - Child of Dawn 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 Corrin (M) is a close magic 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 Res stat.

Legendary Corrin (M) Strengths

Hoshido's Breath grants Time's Pulse, Scowl, and damage reduction

Legendary Corrin (M)'s exclusive dragonstone Hoshido's Breath has built-in Distant Counter, Time's Pulse 4, a Scowl effect upon winning a Res check, and adaptive damage against ranged foes.

In combat, Hoshido's Breath grants Corrin a flat 7 damage reduction on his foe's first attack and bonus Atk/Spd/Def/Res equal to 5 plus 3x the number of allies within 3 spaces, capped at Atk/Spd/Def/Res+14.

These effects are all quite good and impact Corrin's combat potential in multiple ways, allowing him to deal more damage and withstand enemy attacks better than usual.

Dragon Fang Shot grants damage reduction, piercing damage, and applies Water terrain

Legendary Corrin (M)'s exclusive Special Dragon Fang Shot boosts his damage output by 40% of his Res whenever it triggers. It also has a very low cooldown of 1 (after Hoshido's Breath's accelerated Special trigger) and the Time's Pulse 4 effect on Hoshido's Breath ensures that Dragon Fang Shot is active at all times.

Dragon Fang Shot also has built-in damage reduction during combat and from area-of-effect Specials if Corrin wins a Res check. The damage reduced is equal to 4 minus the current Special cooldown value, then multiplied by the difference between Corrin's Res and his foe's Res (maximum difference of 10). This effect grants Legendary Corrin (M) up to 40% extra damage reduction which stacks on top of Hoshido's Breath's flat 7 damage reduction and other damage reduction effects such as from his base kit's High Dragon Wall.

Additionally, if Corrin's Special is ready or triggered during combat, Dragon Fang Shot reduces his foe's non-Special percentage-based damage reduction effects by half, and applies【Divine Vein (Water)】 terrain onto his target foe's occupied tile and all tiles within 2 spaces.

【Divine Vein (Water)】 acts as difficult terrain for ranged foes, forcing them to expend +1 movement for each tile they attempt to move onto, inflicts Spd-5 onto foes during combat, and reduces foe's non-Special percentage-based damage reduction effects by half.

This powerful Special is always ready to trigger and provides both offensive and defensive benefits, making it worth equipping at all times.

Legendary Corrin (M) Weaknesses

Weak to Dragon Effective Weapons

Legendary Corrin (M) takes 1.5x damage from dragon-effective weapons like Divine Mist, 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!
