Show Explanation/Analysis

Weapon: Flame of Múspell

Special: Moonbow

Passive A: Swift Sparrow

Passive B: A/D Far Trace / Desperation

Passive C: Rouse Atk/Spd 4

Sacred Seal: Atk/Spd Solo / Blade Session / Swift Sparrow

Fortunately, Laegjarn was already released with the best build to suit her statline and prf weapon. Thanks to Rouse Atk/Spd 4 in her C slot, she does not fear being Panicked, which allows her to fearlessly take on buffs and activate her weapon. This additionally functions as an easy-activator for the Atk/Spd+6 built into her prf, as well as offering an additional +6 to all of her stats.
With only Rouse Atk/Spd active, Laegjarn gains +18 to her Attack and Speed and +6 to her Defense and Resistance. This, coupled with her natural A/D Far Trace can make her surprisingly tanky.
- Activating Rouse Atk/Spd is annoying though, since Laegjarn does have to be solo at the start of the turn, meaning that it is very difficult to have this be active on Turn 1
What else does she need? Simply stack on Attack and Speed and watch her go.

Strengths

Built in Partial NFU

One of the biggest shortcomings of both cavalry and flying units is their inability to inherit Null Follow-Up, which drastically hinders their combat potential in a meta where guaranteed follow-ups and follow-up denial is prevalent. Ascended Laegjarn luckily comes with partial Null Follow-Up - however, it's contingent on either her or her foe (or both) being buffed.

Ascended

Being an ascended hero means that Laegjarn can get an additional boon for free. This essentially gives her a free boon of your choosing and increases her stats marginally. With this, Ascended Laegjarn can have both +Atk and +Spd at +0.

Weaknesses

Reliant on Buffs

Just like her flying version, Laegjarn is reliant on buffs in order to get the most use out of her prf. While she can give buffs to herself with her new Rouse Atk/Spd 4 (and she doesn't have to fear Panic, which is vital for buff-reliant strats), she needs to be solo at the start of turn for it to work, which throws a wrench in many T1 strats or Aether Raids Defenses.

Weak to Retaliation

Ascended Laegjarn is a ranged cavalry unit with a lot of Attack and Speed - naturally, this means that her defensive stats aren't very high, at 30 Defense and 18 Resistance. This means that it's quite easy to oneshot her on the counter, particularly if she's attacking into a mage.
