Assets
- +DEF: A Defense asset is a fantastic choice for Henry, as it increases his base 32 Defense to 35. When combined with the effect of the refined Corvus Tome, this asset allows Henry to serve as a solid physical tank. This asset also increases the damage of his Bonfire/Ignis, which are Henry’s primary sources of damage.
- +RES: A Resistance asset is also a good choice if one wishes to enhance Henry’s mixed tanking capabilities. He also benefits from a 4 point increase in the stat, instead of the usual three.
Neutral
- ATK: Henry has one of the lowest Attack stats in the game, leaving him heavily reliant on Special triggers for much of his damage output. While his exclusive tome capitalizes on his low Attack, lowering it further will compromise what little damage output Henry had to begin with, so it’s best to leave it neutral.
- HP: Henry’s HP is quite high at 45 base, making him a decent user of skills such as Panic Ploy. However, Raising it is not a priority, so it’s best left neutral.
Flaw
- -SPD: At base 22 Henry’s Speed is almost completely unredeemable, and lowering further will have no consequence on his performance, making it his best flaw overall.
Skill Sets
Bird Is The Word(Defensive)
 |
Corvus Tome (+Eff) | A | Close Counter Alternate: Fort. Def/Res 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
 |
Reposition | B | Quick Riposte 3 Alternate: Null C-Disrupt 3 |
 |
Ignis Alternate: Bonfire |
C | Atk Smoke 3 |
| IVs | S | Close Def 3 Alternate: Quick Riposte 3 |
Preferred IV: +DEF or +RES / -SPD
-
Ideally, Henry should increase his defensive prowess with either a Defense or Resistance asset. Speed is his best choice of flaw, as it’s negligible to his overall performance.
Weapon: Corvus Tome(+Eff)
-
Henry’s exclusive Corvus Tome is his weapon of choice, as it grants him the raven effect, and inflicts Guard and a -6 Attack and Resistance debuff to the foe if their Attack 3 points higher than his own(which will almost always be the case).
Assist: Reposition / Preference
Special: Ignis / Bonfire
-
Defense scaling specials are essential for Henry, as they’ll account for most of Henry’s damage output. Ignis is slightly preferred for its higher damage, but Bonfire works as well.
Passive A: Close Counter / Fortress Def/Res 3
-
Close Counter allows Henry to retaliate against melee foes, making him less of a sitting duck against them and allowing Henry to put his physical bulk to good use.
-
Fortress Def/Res 3 can also be used to grant Henry a significant boost to his Defense and Resistance, and it’s Attack reduction downside is fairly negligible, as the increased damage from Defense scaling specials makes up for it to an extent.
Passive B: Quick Riposte / Null C Disrupt / Mystic Boost
-
Quick Riposte allows Henry to perform follow-up attacks in spite of his low Speed, provided he’s above 70% HP. This is mainly important for Henry to activate his Specials faster, as he can have Ignis charged in a single round of combat if the foe performs a follow-up attack.
-
Null C Disrupt is also a good choice as it allows Henry to counter Firesweep and Dazzling Staff users, who frequently utilize these skills to get around their poor bulk.
-
Finally, Mystic Boost can be used to grant Henry some additional sustain while nullifying the effects of Wrathful Staff and adaptive damage, giving Henry an easier time tanking staff users.
Passive C: Atk Smoke / Preference
-
Atk Smoke increases Henry’s Enemy Phase durability by inflicting a -7 Attack debuff on foes within 2 spaces after combat. Henry’s choice of C slot is up to the needs of the team, however.
Sacred Seal: Close Def / Quick Riposte
-
Close Def greatly increases Henry’s defenses when attacked by melee foes, allowing him to tank them with even greater ease.
-
Finally, if Quick Riposte isn’t used in the B slot, it should be utilized as a Sacred Seal to grant Henry the ability to perform follow-up attacks during Enemy Phase.
Strengths
Corvus Tome
Henry’s Corvus Tome is a fantastic weapon, as it not only functions as a standard Raventome, it can also be refined to inflict the Guard effect and a -6 Attack and Resistance debuff to foes in combat, provided their Attack exceeds his by 3. This weapon allows Henry to take advantage of his unfortunate Attack stat and greatly improves his niche as a Defensive raven user.
Decent Defense
Henry’s base 32 Defense is rather high for a mage, and it allows him to tank Physical damage abnormally well, which can come in handy if one wishes to utilize Close Counter on him. His high Defense also allows him to utilize Defense scaling specials as a consistent source of damage.
Weaknesses
Horrible Attack
Henry’s base 23 Attack is one of the worst in the game, and even the effect of the Corvus Tome isn’t enough to save it. Henry’s awful Attack leaves him reliant on Special triggers for most of his damage, and it's easily his greatest weakness overall. Henry’s horrible raw damage output also leaves him incredibly vulnerable to foes with Guard himself, as he lacks the ability to break through bulky foes without his Special.

|---|---|---|---|
|
Reposition | B | Lull Atk/Res 3 |
|
Bonfire | C | Threat. Atk/Res 3 |
| S | Quick Riposte 3 | ||
Thia build enables henry to act as a wall against most physical and magical units. Although his tome requires you to have less attack than the enemy for its debuffs it only requires a difference of 3 to activate. Even with threat. Atk/Res activating on an opponent the enemy only needs 54 attack (including visible buffs) for corvus tome to proc and combo with lull atk/res 3. And thats with a plus 10 henry! This build is obviously very high investment but I think it may also be the optimal set for this bird loving fellow.

Stats with all buffs activated, summoner support and attack boon/speed bane (if I calculated it right):
52/54/24/48/37
Who likes Henry? I like Henry. FEH made him terrible. Now, after about half a year of experimenting with whatever came to mind, this is what I have to show for it. I have absolutely no regrets.
One thing to note: my Henry is +1 merged and summoner supported because I am a crazy person. Results may vary due to this. Stats are stated as if unmerged but summoner supported (but please do excuse anything I might’ve calculated wrong due to the one merge, too). Let’s do this.
Anyways. Henry has absolutely ridiculous defence, so we’re going to jack that up as far as we can. Speed is unsalvageable here, but we can, at least, push his attack over 50. This set is basically designed for Henry to sit in front of your team and face-tank whatever comes his way while Repositioning allies out of harm, as well as deal more than 0 damage when he hits something.
Boon and bane are chosen because of two factors: I was lucky enough to get a +Atk, and because I want a more offensive role. Defense boon is great, too, for maximum wall. HP bane is acceptable, but cuts into tankiness.
You’ll need double Brazen for this, though which ones run up to personal preference. I use Atk/Def in A slot and Atk/Res for Sacred Seal, but you could also run Brazen Atk/Def to further bolster that ridiculous defense stat. I use Atk/Res to allow Henry to survive one or two magical hits.
B and C slots both debuff the enemy’s attack to heighten Henry’s effective bulk. I’m not sure which skill would work better in B slot, but I’m currently using the Seal skill so. Um. Take of that what you will.
Sol as a special may seem counterintuitive to the whole point of the Brazens, but I’ve found it increases survivability by quite a lot in case of lance users. Daylight doesn’t heal enough in my experience, though it might work for someone else. I don’t know. Bonfire or Ignis totally works, though, if one is looking for sheer damage output, because Henry’s defense is effectively 45 (48 with Loyal Wreath) with one active brazen def and 52 (55) with two. Personally, I’ve switched between Sol and Ignis depending on situation.
Weapon can also be owltome for even more buffs if set up correctly, but owltome has less base might and requires more positioning. Since the rest of my team is usually super squishy and either yeeting across the map with dancers or hiding far out of range, I find Loyal Wreath and Reposition in tandem tend to be more reliable.
But. Well. There you have it, my (hopefully not super confusing) explanation. Enjoy the murderous crow boi.

Henry needs a lot of love and a lot of care to be made viable, but he is far from a terrible unit, if you build him right.
Henry needs an Attack boon the most. Defense is his best stat by far, and despite what some might tell you the extra damage by dealt by his special is not worth having three less Attack. His bane can either go to Speed or HP. Henry isn't going to be naturally doubling anyone and refining his weapon will get the HP back so either works just fine. Don't touch his Res if you can help it.
Henry has limited effective options in terms of weaponry. His native Raudrraven+ is a great tome for a budget build, but is poor for optimization as it cannot be refined. Raudrowl+ works well with him but requires his team to hug him as much as possible (Gronnowl+ works much better on his Halloween variant). Raudrblade can help boost his attack if you get him a buffer like Eirka or Ephraim, but again that is relying on the placement of units. Not to mention, the extra special charge isn't doing him any favors. Candelabra+ works great but is very limited. In my opinion, his best choice of weapon is Keen Raudrwolf+, which is easy enough to attain if you have the resources to promote Raigh and refine it after transferring to Henry. It doesn't require him to have allies adjacent to him, it can be refined, and it has good might, as well as giving him an advantage over cavalry units.
For refinement, I recommend Resistance if you're playing the long game, as I have. His defense is already very high, and with merges both will get higher. A Res bonus makes Henry into a great mixed tank, sporting an impressive 30+ in both defensive stats when Fury is applied, unmerged. However, if you're not going to buff him up in levels or Summoner support, it might be wise to increase his Defense even more. If Horse Emblem is giving you trouble, Nullify Cavalry has its uses.
As a mixed tank, Henry uses Reposition quite well. You're going to want him to be taking the brunt of most attacks to charge his special and to protect squishier units. Swap can work well too, as does Pivot if you like playing it a bit more risky.
Bonfire is a must for Henry. While Ignis lets him hit extensively hard, its charge time can be too long to prove useful. Bonfire adds a respectable 17 damage to his attacks with this build, unmerged. Luna can act as a decent substitute, having the same charge time with a good effect for someone with low attack such as Henry. However, those playing the long game definitely want Bonfire.
A skill should definitely be Fury 3. Henry needs all the buffs he can get, and Fury 3 increases his attack even more while making him even more tanky, with a bonus of patching his bad speed slightly. There really is no alternative. For those playing the long game, Close Counter should be substituted at around +2 or +3 with no Summoner Support, and around +5 with Summoner Support (the increased stats make Henry even tankier with Fury and thus more effective). However, due to the rarity of the skill, Fury 3 is still very viable.
B skill should be Swordbreaker 3. Henry's attack is too low to oneshot and his speed is too low to double naturally. Swordbreaker will allow Henry to double the biggest demographic of unit in the game, many of which come with very low Resistance and very high Speed, effectively countering Swordmasters. His native Green Tomebreaker can help deal with quick green mages like Nino and Soren, but ultimately limits his overall killing power. Quick Riposte can work for a more Enemy-Phase Henry, but I find that Swordbreaker still works better for that too.
C skill is very flexible. Tailor it to your team's needs. With that being said, if you're willing to fodder an Ishtar, Odd Attack Wave 3 helps Henry a lot.
Sacred Seal should be Attack +3. Henry needs the attack, enough said. Panic Ploy can work well too, provided you don't have an HP bane. Still, boosting his Attack is the crux of making Henry viable.
With this build, Henry can take out many key threats, even when unmerged. All Red, Green, and Colorless cavalry units fall rather easily Henry, most notably being able to oneshot Brave Lyn, Green Olwen, and can double both Reinhardts to death when initiating. Blue cavs are a bit trickier. Henry can still be defeated by Camus, Ephraim, L'arachel, and others relatively easily. He also takes out most swords very easily thanks to Swordbreaker. He fares well against archers (barring Magic Sponge Innes), less so against dagger users like Halloween Sakura, Sothe, and anyone with half-decent attack and a poison dagger. He does well against greens, being able to take most of them out. However, the more dangerous ones such as Valentine Hector, male Grima, etc can still beat him.
Henry's greatest threats are red and blue mages, which he is beat by in most cases. All three Tharjas, Julius, Celica, both Morgans, Lute, basically every other blue mage barring Reinhardt, Olwen, and Robin, etc.
In conclusion, while Henry won't be steamrolling the meta any time soon, he is certainly salvageable. He can take out the majority of units with this build, becoming a decent magic attacker with a bulky defensive spread. With merges, he becomes even stronger, and anyone thinking of merging and S Supporting Henry should definitely go for it in my opinion. He has been on my arena team for months now and has been a staple of it. While he may perform a bit better with the "optimal" Raudrowl+ build, this hinges on him being next to multiple allies. This build allows Henry to go out and wreck the enemy independently.

|---|---|---|---|

Reposition | B | Quick Riposte 3 |

Ignis | C | Threaten Atk 3 |
| S | Distant Def 3 | ||
Henry's +iv for defense gives him 35 without any buffs which is high for a mage and the - iv for speed doesn't change affect Henry very much.
Reposition is a good assist but can be subsitiuted for whatever the player wants.
Ignis is used to make Henry get some wins that may be more difficult but Bonfire could work, however due to Henry's low attack this could be problematic.
A-skill is obviously Triangle Adapt, to insure Henry can deal damage while also tanking green mages and bow units pretty well.
B-skill as Quick Riposte aids Henry as a defensive mage, allowing for doubles and earlier use of Ignis.
C-skill being Threaten Atk is mainly to aid Henry in surviving while also helping his allies. However this is very flexible depending on the team.
As for seal, Distant Defense works wonderfully with Henry, giving him 41 Defense and 31 Resistance, further making Henry a decent mage.
