Passive A: Swift Sparrow / Atk/Spd Solo / Life and Death / Atk/Spd Push
Passive B: Dive-Bomb / Desperation
Passive C: Spd/Def Rein / Odd Atk Wave
Sacred Seal: Swift Sparrow / Quickened Pulse
- This is a high-investment set that sees Caeda function at her absolute best, by using new, powerful skills to synergize with her still-relevant weapon.
- Due to Caeda's naturally high Speed, coupled with her Wing Sword and the Dive Bomb skill, she is capable of outputting a lot of damage despite her low Attack. This set functions to allow her to double attack her opponent before they can retaliate using Dive-Bomb, while the Special acceleration in Wing Sword allows her to proc a Moonbow attack on the second hit.
- Of course, this is only if she can naturally double and her and her foe's HP meets the Dive-Bomb requirements, so you'll want to take care that her Speed isn't debuffed by her foe.
- Spd/Def Rein is the logical choice in C slot, as it grants Caeda even more Attack and Speed power over her foe.
- Alternatively, she can run a Galeforce set, utilizing Quickened Pulse in her S slot to activate Galeforce after a single combat, so long as she doubles naturally.

Passive B: Guard Bearing / Quick Riposte
Passive C: Atk/Spd Rein / Atk Ploy
Sacred Seal: Spd/Res Solo / Distant Def
- This set utilizes Caeda's high Speed and Resistance to become a counter to mages in addition to her natural anti-armor and anti-cavalry weapon.
- Her low defense makes her terrible at countering archers anyway, so she doesn't care for Iote's Shield - in fact, she could actually take Distant Ward if available to further specialize in magic tanking.
- Guard Bearing is extremely helpful in her B, as it will activate no matter her foe and help her to survive an enemy attack in either phase.
- Atk/Spd Rein is the more expensive of her C slot options, but further increases the likelihood that she will survive an engagement while also doubling her opponent.
- While Quick Riposte may seem out of place on such a fast unit, Caeda struggles to keep up with fast mages such as Lysithea and will appreciate the bit of extra help in doubling her in return.
Strengths
Wing Sword
The weapon that currently defines Caeda, dealing effective damage against both armored and cavalry units.
The popularity of these two archetypes ensure that Wing Sword is extremely relevant in the Arena, particularly against problem units like Legendary Edelgard.
She also gets built in Flashing Blade, helping her to build her Specials much faster due to her decent Speed stat.
Decent Speed
Sitting at 37 speed at neutral, Caeda can generally keep up with most units in Arena, though she may require a Drive Speed buff to avoid being doubled by insanely fast units such as Summer Byleth.
This synergizes well with Wing Sword’s Flashing Blade refinement, which grants her additional Special cooldown as long as she is faster than her foe.
Good Resistance
Caeda has 34 Resistance at neutral, enabling her to be a fantastic Ploy user for your team.
The magical bulk also aids her in dueling mages, especially in a Distant Counter build.
Finally, she is excellent at dueling dragons, particularly the armored dragons which are commonly seen in Arena.
Weaknesses
Low Physical Bulk
With a mediocre 24 Defense at base, Caeda will keel over against any bows or high Attack units.
Her HP isn’t helping matters, making repeated melee encounters difficult without a skill like Dive-Bomb or Desperation.
Low Attack
Her native attack at 25 is one of the lowest natural Attack stats in the game.
Fortunately, her Wing Sword's effectiveness against armor and dragon units helps to counteract this, but if she's not facing off against an opponent she has effectiveness against, or if she does not have a Special charged, then Caeda will not be doing much damage at all.

Wing Sword | A | Distant Ward |
---|---|---|---|

Reposition | B | Pegasus Flight 3 |
![]() |
Iceberg | C | Goad Fliers |
S | Phantom Res 3 |
Stats are listed at 5+10 with 10 dragonflowers (as of 18 Aug 20).
Caeda can take advantage of her lopsided stats to effectively counter a swathe of threatening cavalry, armored, and magic-wielding foes. Distant Ward essentially trades the ability to counter daggers for an additional +5 Atk/Res (since bow-users will snipe her regardless).
Phantom Speed gives Caeda the best possible chance of maxing out Pegasus Flight for an additional +7 Atk/Def/Res. Her speed is decent enough to trigger the skill against most opponents - even if you opt for the attack super asset.
Assuming the best case scenario (and flier emblem buffs) - Caeda reaches a staggering 45 HP, 69 Atk, 49 Spd, 43 Def, and 53 Res with dual effectiveness and the coveted flashing blade.

Aether | C | Spd Ploy 3 |
S | Def Ploy 3 |
This build focuses on Caeda's offensive prowess, especially on the player phase.
IV: +Attack is utilized to boost Caeda's attack stat in order to increase the likelihood she can pick off foes.
Weapon: Wing Sword (+Eff) gives Caeda the ability to safely, if successfully, go toe-to-toe with bulky armor units and pick off cavalry unit with ease. It also gives her a nice bonus effect to work with, Flashing Blade 3.
Assist: Reposition allows Caeda to take vulnerable allies under wing by moving them behind her. It also allows her to sling shot allies in order to pick off important threats to the team.
Special: Aether/Luna/Moonbow
All three options allow Caeda to increase her damage output by temporarily lowering their defenses. However, the true decision is between whether a player wants a bonus effect, a stringer output, or to quickly pop off their chosen special.
A-Slot: Swift Sparrow 2 allows Caeda to boost her attack and speed on the player phase. This especially useful for securing doubles, activating Flashing Blade 3, and killing off opponents.
B-Slot: Desperation 3/Hit and Run both give Caeda a bit of protection in a pinch or in general. Desperation 3 allows her to have her protective layer to be offensive, and Hit and Run allows her to space herself from her opponents.
C-Slot and Sacred Seal: Ploys allows the player to take advantage Caeda's above average resistance for her offensive potential and her physical allies offensive potentials.
(Note: This unit has a +10 merge on it.)

After getting to lv 40+1 Caeda will become a force of her own since the wing sword is effective against armor and cavalry unit which is most of high tier unit like hector, effie, halloween jacob,reinhardt, xander and ect. On top of that she got great synergy whit unit that can boost all her stats and have a better enemy phase whit close guard unit that can this job perfectly are robin (eff refine), L!azura, brave veronica (even if i dont like her) and let not forget to had marth ;D

---|---|---|---|
![]() |
Reposition | B | Desperation 3 |
![]() |
Glacies | C | Spd Ploy 3 |
S | Brazen Atk/Res 3 |
The purpose of this build is to get Caeda within Desperation range in order to be a sweeper and a burst damage nuke at the same time.
Like the recommended sets above, Fury is the recommended A skill so that she’s more likely to survive an initial battle, as well as giving her a better opportunity to activate Spd Ploy.
Fury also synergizes well with her Sacred Seal, Brazen ATK/RES, as it will allow her to enter the health threshold necessary to gain its effects. Unlike most sweepers and nukers that use this sacred seal, Caeda can actually make use of both the stats boosted by this seal to increase her damage potential.
Normally, Caeda’s attack is lackluster. A +ATK Caeda with a Wing Sword and Fury will reach a respectable 48 ATK. However, once under the 80% health threshold, her attack will skyrocket to 55, giving her the much needed attack steroid she desperately wants.
Caeda also possesses an amazing RES stat, at base 34. When under the effects of Fury and Brazen ATK/RES, she reaches an outstanding 44 RES. Naturally, we’d want to make use of her RES stat, so Glacies is chosen as her special. At 44 RES, Caeda will add a whopping 35 damage on her next attack, enough to power through all but the toughest of blue units on initiation. With her Flashing Blade refine, Glacies charges incredibly fast, being available on every other fight she initiates.
All of these calculations are based on an unboosted and unmerged Caeda. She works well in both Flier teams and mixed teams. Given that she’s a 3-4 star unit, getting her to +10 is also comparatively easier.
