Brave Felix Skills at 5★

New Levin Sword Might: 16　 Range: 1 Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-2; max cooldown count value cannot be reduced below 1). Unit can counterattack regardless of foe's range. Calculates damage using the lower of foe's Def or Res. At start of combat, if foe's HP ≥ 75% or if number of allies adjacent to unit ≤ 1, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 to unit, grants bonus to unit's Atk/Spd/Def/Res = 15% of unit's Spd at start of combat, neutralizes effects that inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on unit, and reduces the percentage of foe's non-Special "reduce damage by X%" skills by 50% during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials).

Gust Cooldown Count = 3 Boosts Special damage by 50% of unit's Spd when Special triggers. If unit's or foe's Special is ready or if unit's or foe's Special triggered before or during this combat, and if unit's Spd ≥ foe's Spd-4, reduces damage from foe's next attack during combat by 40% (once per combat; excluding area-of-effect Specials).

Atk/Spd Excel If unit or foe initiates combat after moving to a different space, grants Atk/Spd+6 and Atk/Spd+X to unit during combat (X = number of spaces from start position to end position of whoever initiated combat; max 4), and also, if unit initiates combat, reduces damage from foe's attacks by X x 3 during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials). If foe's attack triggers foe's Special, reduces damage dealt to unit by X x 3 during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials).

Lone Wolf 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 has not used or been the target of an Assist skill during the current turn, grants another action to unit and inflicts【Isolation】 on unit and Pair Up cohort through their next action in the following cases: A） unit initiated combat, or B） unit took action without entering combat (takes priority over Canto; once per turn, with A and B counted separately). At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25% or if number of allies adjacent to unit ≤ 1, inflicts Atk/Spd/Def/Res-5 on foe, deals damage = 20% of unit's Spd (including when dealing damage with a Special triggered before combat), and reduces damage from foe's attacks by 20% of unit's Spd during combat (including when taking damage from a Special triggered before combat), and also, when foe's attack triggers foe's Special, reduces damage by 20% of unit's Spd (including when taking damage from a Special triggered before combat).

Endless Tempest At start of turn, unit can move 1 extra space (that turn only; does not stack). If unit or foe initiates combat after moving to a different space, grants bonus to unit's Atk/Spd/Def/Res = number of spaces from start position to end position of whoever initiated combat (max 3) and neutralizes foe's bonuses (from skills like Fortify, Rally, etc.) during combat.

Brave Felix Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (18)		★★★☆☆
Atk (14)		★★★★★
Spd (9)		★★★★★
Def (9)		★★★☆☆
Res (7)		★★☆☆☆

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

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 Brave Felix are +Spd and -Res. Brave Felix breaks the current Spd cap with his base 48 Spd, outspeeding every other unit in the game as of the time of his release. His Spd should be maximized to take advantage of this fact and guarantee that his foes cannot land follow-up attacks on him.

Brave Felix's Res is his least important stat at only base 29 and shouldn't affect most of his matchups if taken as a bane.

+Spd for a +10 merge

As the fastest unit in the game, we recommend +Spd when merging Brave Felix up to +10 to ensure he outspeeds his foes.

Brave Felix Best Builds

Galeforce Initiator Brave Felix

HOT
： New Levin Sword ： Reposition ： Galeforce ： Emblem Celica	： Fury 4 ： Lone Wolf ： Endless Tempest ： Fury 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

With Brave Felix's ability to move and wait, and then get two more actions afterwards, he excels at being a Galeforce initiator unit in Aether Raids. He can move to a trap, trigger it, and still initiate on his foes afterwards. Emblem Celica's ring allows Felix to just warp straight to his enemies on turn one, and even if there is a trap, Lone Wolf grants him another action immediately.

AoE Spam Brave Felix

HOT
： New Levin Sword ： Reposition ： Blazing Wind ： Emblem Marth	： Verge of Death ： Lone Wolf ： Endless Tempest ： Quickened Pulse ： -

How to Use, Explanation

Equipping Emblem Marth's ring reduces the Special cooldown of area-of-effect Specials to 1, allowing Quickened Pulse to instantly pre-charge them. Brave Felix can then approach his enemies and lay waste to them with multiple area-of-effect Specials. If external Pulse support is provided (from Askr for example), then Life and Death 3 is the preferred Sacred Seal.

General Use / Budget Brave Felix

HOT
： New Levin Sword ： Reposition ： Gust ： -	： Atk/Spd Excel ： Lone Wolf ： Endless Tempest ： Null Follow-Up 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

Brave Felix's base kit already functions well as a standard Godsword unit. With his base kit, he can reliably trigger Gust in every combat and utilize his high Spd to win combat.

Brave Felix Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Brave Felix Roles

Felix - Sword Savant 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

Brave Felix 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.

However, New Levin Sword has an adaptive damage effect, allowing Brave Felix to target the lower of his foe's Def or Res stat at all times.

Brave Felix Strengths

New Levin Sword has great Special acceleration and multiple built-in effects

Brave Felix's New Levin Sword accelerates his Special cooldown by -2 instead of the traditional -1, greatly improving his ability to trigger his Special every battle.

New Levin Sword also has built-in Distant Counter and deals adaptive damage against all foes.

In combat, if foe's HP ≥ 75% or if Brave Felix has ≤ 1 adjacent to him, New Levin Sword:

• grants Brave Felix Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5
• grants Brave Felix Atk/Spd/Def/Res+X, where X = 15% of his Spd
• grants Brave Felix a Null Guard effect
• grants Brave Felix 50% damage reduction piercing

Lone Wolf grants multiple extra actions

Brave Felix's exclusive B skill Lone Wolf has a built-in Phantom Spd effect and grants him extra actions if he hasn't used or been the target of an Assist skill during the current turn.

The extra actions are granted:

• A) If Brave Felix initiates combat
• B) If Brave Felix takes his action without entering combat

A and B can trigger independently, granting Brave Felix up to three actions in one turn.

In combat, if Brave Felix's HP ≥ 25% or if Brave Felix has ≤ 1 adjacent to him, Lone Wolf:

• inflicts Atk/Spd/Def/Res-5 onto Brave Felix's foe
• grants Brave Felix bonus true damage equal to 20% of his Spd (including area-of-effect Specials)
• grants Brave Felix true damage reduction equal to 20% of his Spd (including area-of-effect Specials)
• if foe's Special triggers, grants Brave Felix additional true damage reduction equal to 20% of his Spd (including area-of-effect Specials)

Lone Wolf excels whenever Brave Felix is isolated away from his allies and can be fully taken advantage of to either defeat foes and retreat to safety, or sweep foes altogether with his multiple actions.

Brave Felix Weaknesses

Saturation

Brave Felix is yet another speedy Sword Infantry unit in a game that contains many units with this exact archetype.

Brave Felix will be reliant on the effects unique to him, such as those from Lone Wolf, to set himself apart from his peers. Teambuilding may prove to be difficult due to Brave Felix's archetype.
