Adrift Corrin (F)

Weapon: Draconic Rage (+Eff)

Assist: Positional Assist 

Special: Bonfire 

Passive A: Atk/Def Unity / Distant Stance / Distant Counter

Passive B: Dragon’s Wrath

Passive C: Joint Drive Atk / Flexible 

Sacred Seal: Atk/Def Solo / Atk/Def Form

• Paired with a Far Save Armored ally such as Brave Hector or Valentine’s Henriette, Corrin can be a strong Enemy Phase specialist focused on OHKOing melee enemies with her counterattack.
  • Alternatively, if Corrin is paired with a Near Save Armored ally such as Pirate Surtr or Valentine’s Gustav or not paired with a Savior unit at all, she can use Distant Stance or Distant Counter in her A Slot to counterattack against ranged enemies.
• Draconic Rage makes this set possible, with its -1 Special cooldown, +1 Special charge per attack, +8 to all stats, and 40% damage reduction on the enemy’s first attack making Corrin both powerful and bulky. Its -1 Special cooldown reduces Bonfire, a 3-cooldown Special that increases damage by 50% of Corrin’s Defense when activated, to a 2-cooldown Special. In combination with the weapon’s +1 Special charge per attack, Corrin can activate Bonfire immediately upon counterattacking if no Guard effect is active. As such, this set focuses on maximizing Corrin’s OHKO consistency, and thus invests everything into her Attack and Defense.
• Granting +5 Atk/Def and doubling, then reversing visible Atk/Def debuffs during combat, Atk/Def Unity is Corrin’s strongest A Slot option. Being able to take advantage of fairly ubiquitous visible Atk/Def debuffs and Panicked visible Atk/Def buffs is a great asset; even without these, +5 Atk/Def is appreciated for maximizing Corrin’s raw damage output, bonus damage on Bonfire activation, and physical bulk.
• Packaging both increased bulk and damage, Dragon’s Wrath is a perfect Skill for this set, granting an additional 20% damage reduction on the enemy’s first attack and increasing Corrin’s damage on her first counterattack by 20% of the gap between her Attack and the enemy’s Resistance.
• Joint Drive Atk grants Corrin +4 Attack during combat if she is within 2 spaces of an ally, translating to an additional 4 damage that, while minor, can still make the difference between OHKOing and not. However, Corrin’s C Slot is flexible, so any of the wide variety of debuffing/buffing Skills may be considered as well.
• Atk/Def Solo and Atk/Def Form are Corrin’s best Sacred Seal options; whichever one is chosen depends on player preference, though the former is typically used due to its more lax condition. Atk/Def Solo grants +6 Atk/Def during combat if Corrin is not adjacent to an ally, while Atk/Def Form grants:
  • +1 Atk/Def if no allies are within 2 spaces (almost never, as if using Corrin as a melee specialist, she at least needs to be within 2 spaces of her Far Save ally).
  • +3 Atk/Def if 1 ally is within 2 spaces.
  • +5 Atk/Def if 2 allies are within 2 spaces.
  • +7 Atk/Def if 3+ allies are within 2 spaces (can be finicky depending on map layout and enemy team).

Weapon: Draconic Rage (+Eff) 

Assist: Positional Assist

Special: Moonbow / Glimmer 

Passive A: Atk/Spd Boosting A Slot 

Passive B: Null Follow-Up

Passive C: Time’s Pulse 

Sacred Seal: Atk/Spd Solo / Blade Session 

• Thanks to Draconic Rage’s -1 Special cooldown, +1 Special charge per attack, +8 to all stats, and 40% damage reduction on the enemy’s first attack, Corrin can be a safe, high-damaging initiator.
  • Because Draconic Rage reduces 2-cooldown Specials such as Moonbow and Glimmer to 1-cooldown Specials, Time’s Pulse allows Corrin to immediately ready these Specials every turn. If Corrin receives a counterattack, she will be able to activate her Special again on her follow-up attack even if the enemy has a Guard effect, as Draconic Rage’s +1 Special charge per attack effectively cancels this out.
• Atk/Spd Boosting Skills maximize Corrin’s damage output, making them the strongest choices for both her A and S Slots. Note that since this set focuses on making Corrin both a strong and safe initiator, Skills that inflict recoil damage (such as Atk/Spd Push 4 and Fury) may be less desirable than choices that do not (such as Atk/Spd Solo, Blade Session, and Swift Sparrow).
• Null Follow-Up neutralizes effects that prevent Corrin’s follow-up attack or guarantee the enemy’s, making it a vital Skill to maximize consistency. Without it, Corrin’s damage will usually be halved by follow-up prevention effects, while the enemy’s damage will usually be doubled by guaranteed follow-ups.

Weapon: Draconic Rage (+Eff) 

Assist: Positional Assist 

Special: Bonfire / Aether / Sol

Passive A: Distant Stance / Distant Counter 

Passive B: Null Follow-Up / Special Spiral

Passive C: Joint Drive Atk / Joint Drive Spd / Flexible

Sacred Seal: Atk/Spd Solo 

• As opposed to the first set (which focuses on stacking Atk/Def to OHKO enemies with Bonfire activations), this set invests into all of Corrin’s stats, performing a more generalist and all-purpose role. While the +8 Spd/Res in-combat buffs that Draconic Rage grants were mostly an afterthought for the first set, they are important for this set; performing/avoiding follow-up attacks and taking as little magical damage as possible are both much more desirable here. 
• Draconic Rage’s -1 Special cooldown and +1 Special charge per attack allow Corrin to activate 3-cooldown Specials such as Bonfire and Sol on her first counterattack if no Guard effect is active, making them particularly potent choices for damage output or survival respectively. Alternatively, Corrin can use Aether in combination with Special Spiral in her B Slot:
  • Assuming the enemy cannot perform a follow-up attack, Corrin can, no Guard effect is active, and Corrin does not OHKO the enemy, Corrin will activate Aether on her follow-up counterattack. After combat, Special Spiral will reduce Aether’s cooldown from 4 to 2, meaning Corrin will instead activate Aether on her first counterattack from that point on.
• Distant Stance or Distant Counter in Corrin’s A Slot is vital, as it allows her to counterattack against ranged enemies. Absorbing damage without counterattacking is inefficient, and if ranged enemies get refreshed, they can attack Corrin’s allies rather than her, which can easily be the downfall of her team. Distant Stance is purely better than Distant Counter because it grants +5 Resistance during Enemy Phase combat, but it is far from necessary.
• The aforementioned Special Spiral alternative aside, Null Follow-Up is Corrin’s B Slot of choice, neutralizing effects that prevent Corrin’s follow-up attack or guarantee the enemy’s. This effectively nullifies effects that would double the damage Corrin receives or halve the damage Corrin deals, making it an incredibly valuable effect.
• While Corrin’s C Slot is flexible, Joint Drive Atk and Joint Drive Spd are premier options, granting Corrin +4 Attack or Speed respectively when she is within 2 spaces of an ally. Maximizing Corrin’s offenses minimizes the chances of enemies surviving, being refreshed, and infiltrating Corrin’s backline; this also applies when choosing Corrin’s Sacred Seal, as Atk/Spd Solo grants her +6 Atk/Spd during combat if she is not adjacent to an ally.
