Winter Eikþyrnir Skills at 5★


Might: 14  Range: 1
Grants Def+3.
At start of turn, if unit is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Def+6 and 【Bonus Doubler】 to unit and allies within 2 spaces of unit for 1 turn.
If unit is within 2 spaces of an ally, and if unit and allies within 2 spaces of unit have bonuses to Atk/Spd/Def/Res after start-of-turn skills trigger, grants an additional +3 to each corresponding stat for unit and those allies for 1 turn (max 10; calculates each stat bonus independently).
If unit initiates combat or if unit is within 2 spaces of an ally, inflicts penalty on foe's Atk/Def = 6 + 20% of unit's Def at start of combat, neutralizes foe's bonuses to Atk/Def, neutralizes unit's penalties to Atk/Def, unit makes a guaranteed follow-up attack, and unit deals +X damage during combat (X = highest total bonuses among unit and allies within 3 spaces of unit; excluding area-of-effect Specials).
At start of turn, if unit is adjacent to only beast or dragon allies or if unit is not adjacent to any ally, unit transforms (otherwise, unit reverts). If unit transforms, grants Atk+2, and also, inflicts penalty Atk/Def-Y on foe during combat (Y = number of spaces from start position to end position of whoever initiated combat, + 3; max 6), and also, if Y ≥ 5, reduces damage from foe's first attack by 30% during combat.

Winter Eikþyrnir Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (20) Normal HP ★★★★☆
Atk (13) No Attack IV ★★★★★
Spd (5) No Spd IV ★☆☆☆☆
Def (9) Def Boon ★★★★★
Res (6) Res Bane ★★☆☆☆

◯ = 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.

Neutral IVs by default!

As a hero obtainable only through Tempest Trials, Winter Eikþyrnir will always have neutral IVs by default. The only way to access IVs for this unit is through using Trait Fruits.

+Def / -Spd

The best IVs for Winter Eikþyrnir are +Def and -Spd. Def is a superboon and boosts Eikþyrnir's Def from base 48 to base 52, raised to base 55 after equipping Delivering Antler. Boosting Def also improves Delivering Antler's Atk/Def penalty effect

With this high of a Def stat, Eikþyrnir can easily function as a physical tank.

Winter Eikþyrnir's Spd is a clear dump stat and can be safely taken as a bane.

+Def for a +10 merge

We recommend +Def when merging Winter Eikþyrnir up to +10 as it improves his bulk both directly and indirectly through Delivering Antler.

Winter Eikþyrnir 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.

Winter Eikþyrnir Strengths

Delivering Antler is a fantastic support/offense hybrid weapon

Winter Eikþyrnir's Delivering Antler grants Atk/Def+6 and 【Bonus Doubler】 to Eikþyrnir and all allies within 2 spaces of Eikþyrnir at the start of each turn.

After start-of-turn skills trigger, if Winter Eikþyrnir is within 2 spaces of an ally and either him or his nearby allies have visible bonuses to Atk/Spd/Def/Res, Delivering Antler increases those bonuses by +3 (capped at +10 total per stat).

In combat, if Winter Eikþyrnir initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally, Delivering Antler inflicts Atk/Def penalties on his foe equal to 6 + 20% of Eikþyrnir's Def, neutralizes his foe's bonuses to Atk/Def, neutralizes penalties to Eikþyrnir's Atk/Def, and grants Eikþyrnir a guaranteed follow-up attack and bonus damage equal to the highest total bonuses among Eikþyrnir and allies within 3 spaces of Eikþyrnir.

Delivering Antler also has the upgraded Beast Cavalry transformation effects which include Atk+2, Atk/Def penalties on foe based on distance travelled, and 30% damage reduction on foe's first attack.

Delivering Antler is a great support/offense hybrid weapon, providing mass visible stat bonuses to Winter Eikþyrnir and his allies while also creating a huge swing in Atk/Def between him and his foe in combat.

Winter Eikþyrnir Weaknesses

Weak to Cavalry Effective Weapons

Winter Eikþyrnir takes 1.5x damage from cavalry-effective weapons like Thani or Binding Reginleif, 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!

Weak to Beast Effective Weapons

Winter Eikþyrnir takes 1.5x damage from beast-effective weapons like Brave Eliwood's Nini's Ice Lance or Picnic Flora's Sæhrímnir, 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!

"This build maximizes Eikþyrnir's Atk and Def stats to land heavy damage with Ignis pre-charged through Momentum." Can u explain if this us accurat?. I really want to build this as my 1st +10 beast, but it doesn't seem to add up. C skill gives -1 when special CD is at max, & B skill can only give -2 at most. Ignis is 4CD & there's no slaying on the weapon. So, how does it ore charge ignis? I don't have access to sturdy beast, so i may use the mythic eik special,/bonfire.

5 twztid13 twztid13 11 months

that also means he probably can't engage heroes w null follow up, since he's relying on a guaranteed follow up, & can't land his special on the 1st hit. Am i missing something about the premium build?
