Show Explanation/Analysis

Preferred IV: +ATK or +SPD 

Weapon: Amiti (+Eff)

Assist: None

  • Having no assist skill at all allows for more consistent AI movement on an AR defense team.

Special: Luna / Galeforce / Escutcheon 

  • Luna is an effective choice of Special when building around Amiti’s potential to strike four times, as it can potentially activate every round of combat.
  • Though it is somewhat difficult for Elincia to activate it in a single round of combat, Galeforce can still be a strong option for taking out multiple opponents in a single turn.
  • Despite not being an offensive special, Escutcheon makes for a very suitable choice through its consistent activation in allowing Elincia to survive her opponent’s first counterattack. 

Passive A: AR-D Atk/Spd / Life and Death / Sturdy Impact / Atk/Spd Push / Swift Sparrow

  • AR-D Atk/Spd with the maximum condition grants Elincia the strongest possible offensive boost, though any strong Atk/Spd boosting skill makes for an effective A slot option.
    • Sturdy Impact also remains an incredibly strong choice of A skill thanks to the colossal boost it provides to Elincia’s Attack and Defense as well as preventing her opponent from making a follow-up attack. 

Passive B: Dive Bomb / Windsweep / Lunge

  • Once again, Dive Bomb makes for a very strong offensive choice of B slot by allowing Elincia to immediately double her opponent while at full HP.
  • Wind Sweep checks melee foes that can’t keep up with Elincia’s Speed by preventing their ability to counterattack.
  • Lunge can be a cheap yet still effective alternative by disrupting the position of her opponent after combat. 

Passive C: Odd Tempest / Spd/Def Rein / Movement Skills 

  • Odd Tempest is particularly effective for turn 1 set-ups by granting Elincia an additional space of movement during odd-numbered turns.
  • Rein skills such as Spd/Def Rein are almost universally good, as the “debuffing foes within two spaces” is essentially free stats for Elincia and any nearby allies. 
  • Any form of movement skills such as Ground orders and Guidance make for a fantastic choice of C slot by giving additional movement options to her team. 

Sacred Seal: Swift Sparrow / Life and Death / Atk/Spd Solo / Heavy Blade / Hardy Bearing / Aerobatics / Phantom Speed

  • Any form of Atk/Spd boosting seal will further supplement Elincia’s offensive power.
  • Hardy Bearing is a staple on AR defense teams by nullifying any skills that change attack priority during combat.
    • NOTE: Do NOT use this with Dive Bomb. Hardy Bearing nullifies these skills on both the foe as well as the unit itself. 
  • Aerobatics gives Elincia additional movement options.
  • Phantom Speed is used exclusively in tandem with Windsweep as a significant boost to its activation rate.

SHeavy Blade 3
Alternate: Swift Sparrow 2

Show Explanation/Analysis

Preferred IV: +ATK or +SPD

  • Since this set relies on Elincia’s ability to activate Heavy Blade and/or double her opponent, Attack and Speed make for the most desirable choices of assets. 

Weapon: Amiti (+Eff)

Assist: Reposition

Special: Galeforce / Luna / Moonbow&Ruptured Sky 

Passive A: Swift Sparrow / Life and Death / Sturdy Impact / Atk/Spd Push / Heavy Blade 4

  • Any of the aforementioned offensive A slots are also applicable here with the exception of AR-D Atk/Spd and the inclusion of Heavy Blade for Special cooldown acceleration.
    • Atk/Spd Push should not be used with Dive Bomb.

Passive B: Dive Bomb / Desperation

  • Dive Bomb is the choice B slot for offensive fliers by enabling an immediate follow-up attack while at high HP.
  • The budget alternative to Dive Bomb; although functionally similar to Dive Bomb by enabling an immediate follow-up attack, it comes with the caveat of having to drop below 75% HP rather than remaining above it.

Passive C: Spd/Def Rein / Flexible

  • Rein skills such as Spd/Def Rein are almost universally good, as the “debuffing foes within two spaces” is essentially free stats for Elincia and any nearby allies.
  • The C slot is otherwise mostly flexible and can be replaced as needed to suit the team. 

Sacred Seal: Heavy Blade / Swift Sparrow / Life and Death / Atk/Spd Solo

  • Since Flashing Blade is not available for Fliers, Heavy Blade is the choice seal for accelerating Elincia’s Special cooldown.
  • Any form of Atk/Spd boosting seal also makes for a great option by further boosting Elincia’s offensive power.

Strengths

Strong Offense 

Elincia’s impressive Atk/Spd spread allows her to deal significant damage. 

Amiti

A premier in offensive weapons, allowing Elincia to attack consecutively and can be refined for an additional boost to Atk/Spd when initiating. 

Flier

In addition to her superior mobility, Elincia has access to exclusive skills such as Dive Bomb and Rein skills. 

Weaknesses

Bad Physical Bulk

With only 59 physical bulk at base, Elincia will take significant damage from physical opponents. 

Vulnerable to effective damage

Flier status comes with its disadvantages. Elincia’s innate weakness to bows coupled with her low physical bulk makes her a prime target for archers.
