- Fafnir joins the growing club of units who get seasonals before their original versions. Thankfully, New Year Fafnir is a very solid unit in his own right thanks to his great exclusive weapon and statline.
- Niðavellir Sprig is an excellent weapon, giving him Canto (2) and negating effects that prevent his follow-up attacks as well as inflicting Guard on foes as long as he initiates or is not adjacent to an ally. All this combined makes New Year Fafnir an excellent hit and run unit, and he’ll have no trouble securing KO’s thanks to his weapon coupled with his massive Attack.
- As with many Player Phase units, Fafnir should be looking to stack as much Attack and Speed as possible in both his A slot and sacred seal, so A slot skills such as his innate Atk/Spd Solo and Atk/Spd Push 4 as well as sacred seals such as Blade Session are his ideal options A slot and seal options.
- Since Fafnir already has Canto built into his weapon, Lull Spd/Def is his best choice of B slot for general use as it lets him negate the foe’s Speed and Defense buffs while debuffing those stats by an additional -3, making his hits even harder to tank.
- Fafnir’s C slot skill is primarily up to user preference, and can be swapped as needed.

- Thanks to his inbuilt Canto, Fafnir is also a good choice for a Wings Of Mercy beacon for Galeforce teams in Aether Raids with double Fury and Disarm Trap. With Canto, Fafnir can easily initiate on turn 1 and move back into range of a dance to attack again while clearing traps and setting up a Wings of Mercy chain.
- Fury in Fafnir’s A slot and seal are necessary to drop Fafnir’s HP to below 50% for Wings of Mercy to activate, while Disarm Trap is necessary to remove traps in the way of the enemy team for Fafnir’s teammates.
- Aside from his utility as a Wings of Mercy beacon, this build plays mostly the same as his general use Player Phase builds.
Strengths
Statline
Fafnir’s fantastic offenses mean that he has no trouble performing follow-up attacks and hitting incredibly hard while doing so. Fafnir’s Defense stat is also decent enough to tank a physical hit if necessary.
Niðavellir Sprig
Fafnir’s Niðavellir Sprig is a great weapon, giving him Canto and a large stat boost in addition to negating follow-up prevention effects and inflicting Guard as long as he initiates(Which he’ll already be doing 99% of the time) or is not adjacent to an ally. This weapon makes Fafnir an excellent hit and run unit thanks to its inbuilt Canto and makes his initiations difficult for many units to tank.
Weaknesses
Terrible Resistance
Fafnir’s only glaring flaw is his horrific base 16 Resistance, which makes him easy prey for essentially any unit that can dish out magical damage.
