Picnic Flora

This is a mainly base kit budget build for an enemy phase Flora that I use in AR.
I use distant defence for her to counter most mages, archers and dagger units however I still keep Bold Fighter for her to take out high defence units in the player phase. Armour March gives her the desirable extra mobility and makes her a good fit as a ranged unit for an armour team.

Picnic Flora (Nuking Flora)
Boon:SPD BANE:HP

Weapon: Saehrímnir
Sup: Reposition/ R.Acid(Case Vantage)
Skill: Chilling Wind/ Glimmer

A: Close Counter
B: Vantage 3/Bold Fighter 3/Miracle Boost 3 (Eir)
C: Armor March 3/ ATK Ploy 3
S: Def Ploy 3 / Res Ploy 3

Well P!Flora is was 3 usefull things on the Kit her Weapon, Bold Fighter and her High Res beeing able to bait Mages and Nuke them was a counter its great also Close Counter for pesky Dragons that are all Over Area and Beasts i dont need to say because her weapon counters it soo Beeing able to counter 3 (Mages, Beasts and Dragons) its great but it may cost sometimes more than someone can afford so, if she is 5*10 Its easy to archive Kills but ,if it is low it may be hard.

As an alternative to the obvious Death Blow Build, I present to you a Mirror Strike build. This is actually quite an effective alternative because it's more readily available, and it actually makes her weapon more effective by helping to ensure she has more res than her opponent. If she fails to have enough res during combat then she loses out on the stat reduction to her foe, which is a HUGE boost to her attack. Her base res is quite high but keep in mind that there are MANY UNITS who benefit from additional resistance from during combat often against ranged specifically! In other words, unless you think you will consistently Out-Res your opponent, the +4 attack you would get on Death Blow is half of what it could be compared to the bonus damage you can ensure with the extra res. Her Def is low enough comparatively (even with boon) that against her intended targets she'll likely get the max of +8 to her attack, for a total of +12 with Mirror Strike compared to DBs +6/8, and this also makes her safer against the ever-popular dragon tanks as well. Furthermore, I think going with Fury coulld put her Def a bit too high to maximize on her weapon's mechanic, the speed is useless, and you take damage. Mirror strike comes on that one fat beautiful bastard that doesn't cost orbs. Just sayin.....

Bold Fighter in the B is a Must Have because, duh.

By using Attack Smoke, you can further enhance her survival chances on return engagements thanks to her weapon adding an additional 50% onto that difference, effectively reducing your foes attack by up to 12 pts while she's in combat (unless you're already consistently hitting an 8 point difference without any debuffs). However, another great reason to take Atk Smoke is that this means she effectively debuffs 3 stats at once.

Quick Riposte is a natural fit with this build since Atk Smoke indicates an anticipate of return engagement (ideally with ranged, ofc).

Lastly, As far as the Special, I kept it Iceberg simply because she's unlikely to need heals, her Res is off the hook, and it's faster than Glacies.

Reposition tends to be ideal on back-line units whereas I put swap on front-line units.

The Def boon is recommend because she'll still need it to face beefy opponents that deal in distant counter and physical attack. Attack, Resistance are also acceptable Boons....pretty much anything but spd is ok.

Basically, an armored take on OG Flora’s build. Her base kit is solid and ready to tackle the player phase with the investment of Death Blow 3 (I chose 4 because I got B!Celica as a pitybreaker going for this Flora). Fury is a tempting option as well since Bold Fighter doesn’t have an HP threshold and her PRF wants visible buffs / added RES.

QR as a seal, meanwhile, allows her to bait on EP ... but it’s mostly placeholder as:

1) Even Res Wave isn’t a seal yet
2) She probably will kill whatever red / green tome use she baits.
