Halloween Skrimir Skills at 5★
|
Might: 14 Range: 1 Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). If unit's HP ≥ 25% at start of player phase or enemy phase, grants Atk/Def+6, 【Imbue】, and "Special cooldown charge +1 per attack during combat (only highest value applied; does not stack)" to unit and allies within 2 spaces of unit for 1 turn. If unit is transformed or unit's HP ≥ 25% at start of combat, grants bonus to unit's Atk/Spd/Def/Res = number of foes within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit × 3, + 5 (max 14; if unit triggers Savior, value is treated as 14), unit deals damage = 20% of unit's Def (excluding area-of-effect Specials), reduces damage from foe's attacks by 20% of unit's Def (excluding area-of-effect Specials), reduces damage from foe's Specials by an additional 20% of unit's Def (excluding area-of- effect Specials), and grants Special cooldown count-2 to unit before foe's first attack during combat. 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 unit can counterattack regardless of foe's range. |
|
Cooldown Count = 4 Boosts damage dealt by 80% of unit’s Def. |
|
If foe initiates combat or if unit's HP ≥ 25% at start of combat, inflicts Atk-5 on foe, deals +X damage (X = 20% of unit's Def; excluding area-of-effect Specials), reduces damage from foe's attacks by X (excluding area-of-effect Specials), unit makes a guaranteed follow-up attack, and neutralizes foe's bonuses during combat. |
|
If a foe uses bow, dagger, magic, or staff and initiates combat against an ally with 2 spaces of unit, triggers【Savior】on unit. If unit triggers Savior, grants Atk/Def+4 during combat. 【Savior】 Unit takes ally’s space, enters combat in ally’s place, and receives all after-combat effects. Doesn't trigger if ally is on terrain that unit can't move to or if multiple units are able to use Savior during the same combat. If Savior triggers, after-combat movement effects don't occur. |

◯ = 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.
+Def / -Spd
The best IVs for Halloween Skrimir are +Def and -Spd. Def is one of Skrimir's best stats and is even raised up to base 53 with a superboon, making him one of the bulkiest units in the game.
Skrimir'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 Halloween Skrimir up to +10 to maximize his role as a tank unit.

Halloween Skrimir Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses
Halloween Skrimir Roles
Halloween Skrimir 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.
Halloween Skrimir Strengths
Preying Fang grants Imbue to allies and has a Special jumping effect
Halloween Skrimir's exclusive weapon Preying Fang grants Atk/Def+6, 【Imbue】, and Special cooldown charge +1 per attack
to Skrimir and allies within 2 spaces at the start of both player and enemy phases.
In combat, Preying Fang grants Skrimir up to Atk/Spd/Def/Res+14, bonus true damage, true damage reduction, and true damage reduction on Specials equal to 20% of Skrimir's Def, and Special cooldown count -2 before foe's first attack.
Preying Fang also has the standard Armored Beast transformation effects, granting Atk+2 and Distant Counter.
Preying Fang has everything necessary for modern day tanks, having both true damage reduction and true damage reduction on Specials along with a min-maxed statline, turning Halloween Skrimir into a great defensive unit.
Min-Maxed Stats
Halloween Skrimir's base stats are heavily skewed towards defense, with his high base 52 HP along with base 49 Def and 41 Res.
As a demote unit, he can easily be fully merged up to +10 to serve as a nice lower-budget option for a Savior tank role.
Halloween Skrimir Weaknesses
Weak to Armor Effective Weapons
Halloween Skrimir 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!
Weak to Beast Effective Weapons
Halloween Skrimir 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!
