Fellowship Blade Might: 16　 Range: 1 Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). At start of player phase or enemy phase, if unit is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Def/Res+6, 【Bulwark】, and 【Null Panic】 to unit and allies within 2 spaces of unit for 1 turn. If unit is within 3 spaces of an ally, inflicts penalty on foe's Atk/Def = 20% of unit's Def at start of combat + 6, unit deals +X damage (X = highest total bonuses among unit and allies within 2 spaces of unit; excluding area-of-effect Specials), reduces damage from foe's attacks by 50% of X (excluding area-of-effect Specials), and inflicts Special cooldown charge -1 on foe per attack during combat (only highest value applied; does not stack).

Armored Beacon Cooldown Count = 3 Boosts Special damage by 40% of unit's Def. If foe's Range = 2 and unit or foe's Special is ready or triggered before or during this combat, reduces damage from foe's next attack by 40% (once per combat; excluding area-of-effect Specials).

Oath of Ostia Grants HP+5. After unit acts (if Canto triggers, after Canto), or, if defending in Aether Raids, at the start of enemy phase, applies 【Divine Vein (Stone)】 to unit's space and spaces within 2 spaces of unit for 1 turn. If foe initiates combat or foe's HP ≥ 75% at start of combat, inflicts Atk/Def-10 on foe, grants Special cooldown count-2 to unit before foe's first attack, and reduces the percentage of foe's non-Special "reduce damage by X%" skills by 50% during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials).

A/D Twin F Save If foe with Range = 2 initiates combat against an ally within 2 spaces of unit, triggers 【Savior】 on unit.

Attuned Hector Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (24)		★★★★★
Atk (10)		★★★★★
Spd (4)		★☆☆☆☆
Def (11)		★★★★★
Res (12)		★★★★★

◯ = 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.

+Def / -Spd

The best IVs for Attuned Hector are +Def and -Spd. Hector's Def is among the highest in the game at base 48, raised to 52 with a superboon. Boosting Def helps Hector perform better as a physical tank.

+Res is also an option if opting for a Far Save build with Attuned Hector's base kit. Hector's Res is at base 45, raised to 49 with a superboon, which is respectable and enough to soak some magic attacks.

Attuned Hector's Spd is a clear dump stat and should be taken as a bane.

+Def or +Res for a +10 merge

We recommend a +Def or +Res IV when merging Attuned Hector up to +10 depending on his role on your team.

Attuned Hector Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Attuned Hector Roles

Hector - Steel Warrior 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

Attuned Hector 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.

Attuned Hector Strengths

Fellowship Blade has multiple defensive effects

Attuned Hector's exclusive weapon Fellowship Blade grants Def/Res+6, 【Bulwark】, and 【Null Panic】 to Hector and nearby allies at the start of player phase and enemy phase.

These buffs being granted during phases instead of turns is helpful, as it impacts the map immediately and can even dodge effects like Elimine's Staff of the Saint.

In combat, Fellowship Blade inflicts an Atk/Def penalty on Hector's foe equal to 20% of his Def, grants Hector bonus true damage and true damage reduction based on the highest total bonuses among Hector and his nearby allies, and applies a Guard effect to his foe's attacks.

Fellowship Blade is one of the best defensive weapons in the game and works very well with Attuned Hector's other skills and stat spread.

Oath of Ostia applies 【Divine Vein (Stone)】 and grants Special skipping

Attuned Hector's exclusive A skill Oath of Ostia has built-in HP+5 and applies 【Divine Vein (Stone)】 to nearby terrain after his action and immediately during Aether Raids if on a defense team.

In combat, Oath of Ostia inflicts Atk/Def-10 onto Attuned Hector's foe and grants Hector Special cooldown count -2 before his foe's first attack and 50% damage reduction piercing.

The Special cooldown skipping effect being applied before his foe's first attack can be taken advantage of by equipping defensive skills like Pavise or Aegis to make Attuned Hector as tanky as possible. It also works with his base kit's Armored Beacon to immediately activate the damage reduction effect as well.

Combining the Special skipping effect and the 【Divine Vein (Stone)】 with Attuned Hector's stat spread makes him one of the best, if not the best tank in the game.

Min-maxed statline

Attuned Hector's base stats are all very high on key stats, sitting at base 48 HP, 48 Def, and 45 Res for his bulk, and base 49 for his Atk. With this kind of statline, Attuned Hector is flexible and can be built depending on your team's needs.

He is geared towards optimal tanking while also having high Atk for return damage on his counterattacks.

Attuned Hector Weaknesses

Weak to Armor Effective Weapons

Attuned Hector takes 1.5x damage from armor-effective weapons like Randgríðr, 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!
