New Year Baldr Skills at 5★
|
Might: 16 Range: 1 Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). Neutralizes "effective against flying" bonuses. For foes within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit, inflicts Atk/Spd/Def/Res-5, inflicts additional penalty on foe's Atk/Spd/Def/Res = current bonus on each of foe's stats × 2 (calculates each stat penalty independently), and reduces the percentage of foe's non-Special "reduce damage by X%" skills by 50% during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials). Grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+10 to unit, unit deals +25 damage (excluding area-of-effect Specials), reduces damage from foe's attacks by X (excluding area-of-effect Specials), reduces damage from foe's Specials by an additional X (excluding area-of-effect Specials; if unit has weapon-triangle disadvantage, X = 20% of unit's Spd; otherwise, X = 50% of unit's Spd), and neutralizes effects that inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on unit during combat. Unit can use the following 【Style】: Weapon Triangle： Red Style |
|
Cooldown Count = 5 When Special triggers, boosts damage by X% of the greater of unit's or foe's Atk (if unit has weapon-triangle advantage, X = 80; otherwise, X = 70). Reduces damage from foe's first attack by 40% ("first attack" normally means only the first strike; for effects that grant "unit attacks twice," it means the first and second strikes) and inflicts Special cooldown charge -1 on foe per attack during combat (only highest value applied; does not stack), and also, if unit has weapon-triangle advantage, grants Special cooldown count-2 to unit and inflicts Special cooldown count+2 on foe before unit's first attack during combat (cannot exceed foe's maximum Special cooldown). |
|
Enables 【Canto (Dist. +1; Max 4)】. At start of turn, inflicts 【Triangle Adept】 and 【Exposure】 on closest foes and foes within 2 spaces of those foes through their next actions. Grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+9 to unit, unit deals +7 damage (excluding area-of-effect Specials), reduces damage from foe's attacks by 7 (excluding area-of-effect Specials), and neutralizes effects that guarantee foe's follow-up attacks and effects that prevent unit's follow-up attacks during combat. If 【Exposure】 is active on foe, if unit has weapon-triangle advantage, or if foe initiates combat, unit attacks twice during combat. |
|
Unit can move through foes' spaces. For each foe within 5 spaces of unit, unit can move to any of the nearest spaces adjacent to that foe (unless space is impassable terrain). Inflicts Atk/Spd/Def-4 on foe, neutralizes effects that grant "Special cooldown charge +X" to foe, unit deals damage = 20% of the greater of unit's Spd or Def (excluding area-of-effect Specials), and reduces damage from foe's attacks by 20% of the greater of unit's Spd or Def during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials). |
|
When Canto triggers, enables unit to use 【Reposition】 on ally (this effect is not treated as an Assist skill; if similar effects are active, this effect does not trigger). If unit is within 3 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+3 to unit during combat and restores 7 HP to unit after combat. 【Reposition】 Range = 1. Target moves to opposite side of unit. |
Style Effect
| Weapon Triangle： Red Style |
|---|
| When determining weapon triangle, counts unit as red (does not affect skill effects that trigger based on attribute, such as "if in combat against a red foe"). This Style can be used only once per turn. 【Style】 Change Style using the Style button at the bottom of the screen. A unit's Style is only active when that unit is taking an action. When unit is equipped with a skill that has a Style, unit will not be able to use skills like Duo Skills or Harmonized Skills. Style use is disabled when unit is deployed using Pair Up or when unit is equipped with multiple skills that have a Style. |
New Year Baldr's Duo Skill Effect
| Duo Skill |
|---|
| Neutralizes any 【Penalty】 and grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+6, 【Fringe Bonus】, and 【Cancel Affinity】 to unit and allies within 3 spaces of unit for 1 turn. (Duo Skills can be used once per map by tapping the Duo button. Duo Skills cannot be used by units deployed using Pair Up.) |
Standard Effect 1
| Duel |
|---|
| If unit is 5★ and level 40 and unit's stats total less than 220, treats unit's stats as 220 in modes like Arena. (Higher-scoring opponents will appear. Stat total calculation excludes any values added by merges and skills.) |

◯ = 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.
+Spd / -Res
The best IVs for New Year Baldr are +Spd and -Res. Spd is a superboon and Baldr needs additional investment to improve her Spd checks as well as keep up with the fast metagame units in the highly contested base 48-49 Spd tier. Without sufficient investment, Baldr will struggle against faster units.
New Year Baldr's Res is her least important stat and can be safely taken as a bane as it won't impact her matchups.

Relies on Weapon Triangle and outspeeding her foes
