Rearmed Marianne Skills at 5★

Arcane Blutgang Might: 14　 Range: 2 Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants bonus to unit's Atk/Spd/Def/Res = 25% of foe's Atk at start of combat - 4 (min 5; max 14), deals damage = 15% of unit's Atk (including when dealing damage with a Special triggered before combat), reduces damage from foe's first attack by 7 ("first attack" normally means only the first strike; for effects that grant "unit attacks twice," it means the first and second strikes), neutralizes effects that inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on unit, and grants Special cooldown count-1 to unit before unit's first attack during combat.

Requiem Prayer Cooldown Count = 2 When Special triggers, boosts damage by 40% of unit's Res and neutralizes "reduces damage by X%" effects from foe's non-Special skills. 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, × difference between stats (max difference between stats: 10). If unit triggers Special during the current turn, enables【Canto (2)】. When Canto triggers, enables unit to use 【Sing/Dance】 (can be triggered by any Canto effect other than the Canto effect from this Special; once per turn; if similar effects are active, this effect does not trigger; this effect is not treated as an Assist skill, nor is it treated as a Sing or Dance skill).

Crystalline Water Grants Atk/Res+8. Inflicts Def-8. At start of player phase or enemy phase, neutralizes 【Panic】 and any penalties to unit's Atk/Res that take effect on unit at this time.

Spd/Res Discord At start of player phase or enemy phase, inflicts Spd/Res-6 and 【Discord】 on foes with Res less than unit's Res and that are within 2 spaces of another foe through their next actions. Inflicts penalty on foe's Spd/Res during combat = number of foes inflicted with 【Discord】 within 2 spaces of target, including target, × 2, + 4 (max 10) and deals damage = 15% of unit's Res (excluding area-of-effect Specials).

Spd/Res Crux Inflicts Spd/Res-4 on foes within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit, and those foes suffer guaranteed follow-up attacks during combat.

Rearmed Marianne Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (15)		★★☆☆☆
Atk (11)		★★★★★
Spd (7)		★★★★☆
Def (3)		★☆☆☆☆
Res (15)		★★★★★

◯ = 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.

+Res / -Def

The best IVs for Rearmed Marianne are +Res and -Def. Rearmed Marianne's Res stat is quite high at base 45, raised to base 49 with a superboon. Using her high Res stat, Rearmed Marianne can run Res-based support such as Ploys and Sabotages and fulfill a secondary magic tank role when necessary.

Rearmed Marianne's Def stat is abysmal and can be safely taken as a bane as she will fall to most physical attackers in one hit.

+Res for a +10 merge

We recommend +Res when merging Rearmed Marianne up to +10 for similar reasons above.

Rearmed Marianne Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Rearmed Marianne Roles

Marianne - Cursed Blessing 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

Rearmed Marianne is a ranged magic 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 Res stat.

Rearmed Marianne Strengths

Arcane Blutgang grants bonus true damage and a Special skipping effect

Rearmed Marianne's inheritable Arcane Blutgang is comparable to modern day weapons, granting up to Atk/Spd/Def/Res+14, bonus true damage, true damage reduction on foe's first attack, a Special skipping effect before her first attack, and a Null Guard effect.

While the weapon isn't overwhelming, it is enough for Rearmed Marianne to fulfill her role as both an attacker and a magic tank unit.

Requiem Prayer grants Canto and a Dance effect

The bulk of Rearmed Marianne's power comes from her exclusive Special, Requiem Prayer.

Requiem Prayer grants Rearmed Marianne a damage reduction piercing effect on Special trigger, up to 40% damage reduction based on current Special cooldown count value, and 【Canto (2)】 if Requiem Prayer triggers.

More importantly, whenever Rearmed Marianne is utilizing a 【Canto】 effect, she gains a 【Sing/Dance】 effect, allowing her to refresh an ally's turn during her 【Canto】 effect.

Additionally, Requiem Prayer is not treated as a refresher skill, allowing players to field both Rearmed Marianne and a refresher unit on game modes that restrict players to only one refresher unit.

Rearmed Marianne Weaknesses

Weak to Bows

As a flying unit, Rearmed Marianne 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.
