Pull for Winter Fomortiis!

Winter Alear (M) may be the star of this banner, but we recommend pulling for Winter Fomortiis instead.

Winter Fomortiis comes with the incredibly powerful Shield Fighter which turns any armored unit into a formidable tank unit capable of triggering defensive Specials over and over again in combat.

However, to successfuly use Aegis and Pavise with Shield Fighter, Emblem Marth's ring is necessary to equip, unless you downgrade the Specials to Escutcheon or Sacred Cowl, which creates a huge drop in performance.

Winter Fomortiis does not need Emblem Marth's ring to take full advantage of Shield Fighter due to his Icy Ravager's cooldown reduction effects.

This makes Winter Fomortiis one of the best tank units in the entire game, and even allows him to pair up with a second armored unit (of a different Savior build) that equips Emblem Marth's ring and Shield Fighter themselves to create an unbreakable core.

Should You Pull From This Summon?

Don't spend your orbs here!

Winter heroes are always among the best units in the game at the time of their release, and this banner is no exception. However, the units on this banner aren't unique and their roles can be replicated by other units.

We recommend skipping this banner unless you do not have a Shield Fighter tank unit.

If you do not have a Shield Fighter tank unit, we heavily recommend pulling for Winter Fomortiis.

Pull if you want their skills

All of the focus heroes from this summon have rather useful skills that you may want another unit to inherit. See the list below for the most useful skills from this batch of units.
