- With access to Flame Siegmund's refine, OG Ephraim can afford to drop Heavy Blade from a skill slot, which drastically increases his damage per hit while granting him unconditional Special acceleration.
- Odd Tempest will activate the buff condition of Atk/Def Ideal without worrying about visible buffs being panicked or somehow used against him. The 100% HP requirement is tougher to fulfill, particularly after his first combat, but Atk/Def Ideal is still optimal as long as Ephraim is somehow buffed. Although Death Blow 4 has +1 Attack over a 1/2 condition Atk/Def Ideal, the Defense increase of Ideal grants Ephraim survivability to ensure that he will make it through the end of his combat in order to trigger a powerful Luna or refresh his turn with Galeforce.
- If running a Galeforce build, then Time's Pulse is likely a better option since this allows Ephraim to Galeforce without enemy retaliation - such as if attacking a ranged unit first. For this build, Death Blow may be a better A slot if you cannot ensure that Ephraim is buffed for his attacks.
- Desperation enables Ephraim to safely attack into an opponent after his HP has been reduced, which offers him both of his hits before enemy retaliation. This is particularly useful if you're trying to drain Ephraim's HP before his engagements to synergize with a Wings of Mercy strategy and teleport a dancer to his side to dance him after his combat is done.
- However, you can also opt for Lull Atk/Def for an extra bit of offense and survivability - though it will be less useful during repeated engagements, as Ephraim's HP will continue getting chipped as long as his opponents can survive his first hit.
- For his Seal slot, Blade Session still grants the highest Attack bonus of any seal, with +9 Atk/Spd after two allies have ended their turn. Ephraim needs to stack on as much Attack as he can get, so this is ideal for him - the additional Speed isn't wasted either, as it also allows him to double through follow-up denial on opponents who would otherwise Speed tie him (such as Myrrh or a +Spd Seiros). If Blade Session is already in use, then Atk/Def Solo or Death Blow are both also valid options.

- Flame Siegmund's refine also works in the Enemy Phase as long as Ephraim meets Solo requirements, which allows him to play the role of a formidable melee tank, particularly when backed with an armored ally with Far Save.
- This build grants him +21 Attack and Defense, while debuffing his foe's Attack and Defense by -8 and nullifying any bonuses they may have to Attack and Defense. It also inflicts Guard on his opponents, as well as granting Ephraim guaranteed follow-up attacks with his accelerated cooldown.
- This allows Ephraim to respond with an 'instant' Noontime and heal himself back up for 30% of the damage he does. He can also utilize an offensive Special like Moonbow or Luna (Moonbow activates on his first hit, Luna activates on his second).
Strengths
Legendary Weapon Refine
Ephraim not only has access to Flame Siegmund from his Legendary variant, but he also reaps the rewards of Legendary Ephraim's refine with the ability to use the Flame Siegmund(+Eff).
This is a direct upgrade to Ephraim's refined Siegmund, as it grants him an unconditional follow-up in Player Phase with a potential follow-up in Enemy Phase. In addition, it increases Ephraim's Atk and Def by 4 and decreases Ephraim's foe's Atk and Def by -5 (essentially granting him +9 Atk and +9 Def and +5 Res), while giving him unconditional Special cooldown acceleration.
Unlike with Heavy Blade, Ephraim does not have to pass a stat check for his Special acceleration to proc and therefore his Special activations are far more reliable.
This refine breathes life into an otherwise-outdated unit and grants Ephraim both flexibility and firepower.
Weaknesses
Null-Fun
Ephraim's Flame Siegmund refine is amazing, but he's still stopped in his tracks by the ever-growing presence of Null Follow-Up, which is a highly meta skill for most Speed-based infantry units. Additionally, unlike his Legendary version, he has no way to counteract an opponent's Guard-related skill, which could ruin his potential of activating his Special.
Weapon Dependency
Ephraim can only cling to relevancy by using his Flame Siegmund(+Eff), which limits his build options, since he cannot run any kind of Slaying weapon. As a Gen 1 unit with Gen 1 stat distribution, he can still struggle with doing enough damage, particularly if he's up against a melee tank.

Meme build that’s actually kind of powerful for Ephraim. With a boon in speed, +7 from Swift Sparrow, and +10 from Phantom Spd, Ephraim engages on his foes with a blazing 46 speed, which enough to outpace all but the literal fastest units in the meta without team support. Combined this with a solid 57 attack while engaging, and a Moonbow activation every combat hits due to Time’s Pulse, and suddenly you’re looking at a tank shredder who doesn’t have to take damage at all, and can help support the team through his Hone Atk 3 on his weapon. It’s a meme build, but paired with a couple of dancers and a solid red mage, and it’s a potent force on the battlefield

-This is a very offensive build for Ephraim.
With Fury 3 and Flame Siegmund combined, Ephraim is given +6 base attack (boosting it up to 60) making him a perfect candidate for the Heavy Blade seal making Aether charge speed very quick so he can heal the damage from fury, deal a lot of damage and become very difficult to defeat.
Flame Siegmund makes it so it is possible for Ephraim to double the foe as long as there are more foes in two spaces than allies. This goes well with Desperation 3 so he can strike the opponent with two powerful blows in quick succession before the foe can counter. However, you can swap Desperation 3 out for Vantage 3 or Renewal 3. Renewal combined with Aether gives Ephraim amazing healing qualities and Vantage can help him out in tricky situations. The C slot can be changed and swapped out for whatever you prefer or whatever fits with your team.

Was able to pull an extra W!Ephraim so inherited it over to my OG Ephraim and have no regrets! Especially since I run him in a tactics team and he’s paired off with L!Hector so he can galeforce right away. Have a few extra Eirs so having Mystic Boost to help keep him in Siegmund range is an option too.

Because of Siegmund, Ephraim can be possibly one of the best buffing units in the game, being able to Drive and Rally every stat on a unit besides Res, which isn’t that important on most units unless their name is Deirdre or Arvis. Plus, with his refine and Death Blow, Ephraim can definitely hold his own on the battlefield. This build overall can fit on almost any team, because who doesn’t want easy buffs?

esta es una construcción bastante bruta para epharim, tendrás que tener una exuberante vida para poder tener esta construcción, sugiero al menos que supere los 50 de HP
para empezar, se usa sigmurd(+atk) para subir tanto la vida como el daño de este
reposition es solo una habilidad que puse para hacerlo mas versátil en cuanto a movilidad, pero esta puede ser cambiado por alguna habilidad de apoyo si así les parece
aether es relativamente opcional, yo lo prefiero con moonbow por su rápida recarga
se ocupa fury 3 para intentar aprovechar al máximo la excesiva cantidad de HP que puede llegar a tener, y usarla para llevar las demás estadísticas un poco mas arriba
renewal 3 es obviamente puesta para compensar la perdida de esta vida, repito nuevamente, debes tener una cantidad casi insana de HP para poder jugar esta construcción
infrantry pulse 3 es para poder dar un apoyo a los miembros del equipo aunque si se quiere jugar mas ofensivo, recomiendo panic ploy 3 para poder ir contra unidades que requieran buffs
distant def 3 es una de las mejores obsesiones para cubrir su pobre resistencia contra la magia
