Ninja Hríd Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (18) HP Superbane ★★★☆☆
Atk (10) Attack Boon ★★★★★
Spd (8) Spd Bane ★★★☆☆
Def (10) Def Boon ★★★★★
Res (8) Res Boon ★★☆☆☆

◯ = 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.

+Atk/ -Spd

The best IVs for Ninja Hríd are +Atk and -Spd. Since Hríd's Spd isn't high enough to compete with fast metagame foes, boosting Atk is preferred to maximize his damage output, especially with Glacial Greataxe's built-in brave effect.

Hríd's Spd isn't high enough to compete with fast metagame foes, and is more than enough against slow tanks. Reducing Hríd's Spd won't impact any of his matchups, while reducing Res would make him weaker against enemies with magic or adaptive damage.

Ninja Hríd Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Ninja Hríd 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.

Ninja Hríd Strengths

Glacial Greataxe inflicts Penalties and attacks twice

Ninja Hríd's exclusive weapon Glacial Greataxe has both offensive and supportive effects that help impact combat for Hríd and his allies.

Below is a summary of these effects:

Condition(s) Effect
Always ・Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1).
・Hríd attacks twice.
For all foes within 3 rows and 3 columns centered on Ninja Hríd ・Inflicts Atk/Spd/Def/Res-5 during combat.
・Neutralizes their bonuses.
・Reduces their non-Special percentage-based damage reduction effects in half.
Ninja Hríd's HP ≥ 25% at start of combat ・Grants Hríd up to Atk/Spd/Def/Res+9 (based on number of foes within 3 rows and 3 columns).
・Grants Hríd up to +25 bonus true damage and up to +15 bonus true damage reduction (based on non-stat Bonuses on Hríd and non-stat Penalties on foe).
・Foe cannot make a follow-up attack.
・Restores 7 HP to Hríd whenever Hríd deals damage in combat.

Glacial Seal inflicts Frozen and creates Divine Vein (Ice)

Ninja Hríd's exclusive B skill Glacial Seal has multiple effects that excel at improving his mobility while weakening his foes' mobility and applying debuffs to them.

Below is a summary of these effects:

Condition(s) Effect
Always ・Enables 【Canto (Rem. +1; Min 2)】
Ninja Hríd's HP ≥ 25% at start of player or enemy phase ・Inflicts Atk/Def-7, 【Frozen】, and 【Def Shackle】 on closest foes and foes within 2 spaces of those foes.

・Hríd makes a guaranteed follow-up attack.
・Grants Hríd bonus true damage and true damage reduction equal to 20% of Hríd's Def.

Ninja Hríd Weaknesses

Mediocre Spd and Res

Ninja Hríd's stats are all skewed towards Atk and Def, leaving his Spd and Res a bit lacking.

His Spd is in the middling range where he is not fast enough to prevent follow-up attacks from speedy foes while having too much Spd against slower foes.

Hríd's Res is only at a base 27 as well, leaving him vulnerable to heavy magic damage attackers.

Weak to Cavalry Effective Weapons

Ninja Hríd 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!
