Show Explanation/Analysis

Weapon: Caduceus Staff

Support beacon for any Enemy Phase-centric unit.

Assist: Rescue+

Heal that doubles as a Drawback movement assist when used (can be done at max HP).

Special: Deluge Balm+

Mostly inconsequential. Flayn’s inherent Deluge Balm+ can be a helpful addition to healing.

Passive A: Push Skills / Solo Skills / HP stat skills

For general use or simply for a purely offensive approach, any skill that greatly boosts Flayn’s offensive stats such as Atk/Res Push or Solo makes for a great option.
- It’s not a bad idea to stack Speed with the Atk/Spd variant of these skills.
If the aforementioned are unavailable, any form of HP/stat booster makes for a solid budget alternative.

Passive B: Dazzling Staff / Flier Movement skills

Since Caduceus Staff already has the build in effect of Wrathful staff, Dazzling Staff is the easy option in preventing foe’s counterattacks.
One may also choose to give Flayn additional movement options by utilizing a flier movement skills such as Aerobatics in the B slot.

Passive C: Ground Orders / Flier Buffs / Flexible

Flayn’s inherent Ground Orders is the premium choice in movement support when on mixed team compositions.

When run alongside other fliers, class-exclusive buffs such as Ward/Goad Fliers are the ideal choice of C slot.

Sacred Seal: Drive Skills / Close/Distant Guard / Movement Skills

Any form of additional in-combat support bonus such as Drive skills or Close/Distant Guard make for great Sacred Seal slot options in order to further supplement Flayn’s support.
The aforementioned movement skills can also be utilized in the Sacred Seal slot.

Aeugh (AR-D Support)

	Caduceus Staff	A	AR-D Atk/Res 3 Alternate: Atk/Res Push 4
	Restore+	B	Dazzling Staff 3 Alternate: Aerobatics 3
	Deluge Balm+ Alternate: Miracle	C	Ground Orders 3 Alternate: Ward Fliers
IVs	Preferred IV: +HP or +ATK or +RES	S	Distant Def 3 Alternate: Guidance 3

Show Explanation/Analysis

Weapon: Caduceus Staff

Assist: Restore+ / Rescue+ / No Assist

Restore+ is a popular choice in creating a scenario in which the defense team is automatically set off on turn 1 in response to the opponent’s negative status effects targeting them.
Having no assist at all is also an option in making sure that Flayn moves consistently on a defense team.

Special: Deluge Balm+ / Miracle

Passive A: AR-D Skills / Push/Solo Skills

For the strongest possible boost on Aether Raids Defense, AR-D Atk/Res can grant Flayn upwards of +10 to Atk and Res with all buildings active.

Passive B: Dazzling Staff / Flier Movement skills

Passive C: Ground Orders / Flier Buffs / Flexible

Both Flier Movement skills as well as non-flier support such as Ground Orders opens up a wider array for movement options.
Condensed flier teams on defense (flier balls) make effective use of stacking in combat support skills such as Goad and Ward Fliers.

Sacred Seal: Drive Skills / Close/Distant Guard / Movement Skills

Strengths

Caduceus Staff

A premium in support that grants nearby units 30% damage reduction in combat. Very effective for any units built to take hits.

Impressive Attack

With 39 Attack at base, Flayn can dish out some pretty solid damage in combat.

Flying

In addition to superior mobility, Flayn is granted access to an array of movement skills, exclusive buffs, and other supplementary support such as Ground Orders.

Healer

The often-overlooked support of healing is brought back to light with skills that double as movement assist such as Rescue+.

Weaknesses

Bad physical bulk

Low Defense coupled with less than stellar Speed make Flayn fold fast in the face of physical threats.

Vulnerable to effective damage

On top of this, due to her status as a flier, Flayn will take greatly increased damage from units with effective damage such as archers.

Healer

Extreme skill restriction that prevents Flayn from using any form of offensive special, regular movement assist, and a significant portion of normal offensive skills.
