Show Explanation/Analysis

Weapon: Arcane Grima (+Spd)

Assist: Positional Assist / Flexible

Special: Pavise

IVs: +Spd / -Res

Passive A: Dragonhide

Passive B: Hardy Fighter 3

Passive C: A/S Near Save 3

Sacred Seal: Atk/Spd Form / Atk/Spd Bond / Mystic Boost / Flexible

Even with her base kit, Robin is already one of the best Near Saves available at the time of writing. Her high Spd, neutralization of armor-effectiveness, and ability to run Hardy Fighter with Pavise allow her to easily tank strong hits from units like Brave Seliph and Brave Chrom and KO back by hitting their low Res.
Arcane Grima lowers Pavise’s cooldown to 2, and Hardy Fighter fully charges it at the start of Robin’s first turn, reducing the damage taken from her first hit in combat by 75% and an additional 5 damage.
+Spd is the best choice of boon for Near Save, as it improves Robin’s ability to avoid follow-ups and follow-up herself against fast threats like Brave Seliph and Brave Eirika. -Res is generally the best bane since few melee foes target Res.
A/S Near Save allows Robin to protect her allies within 2 spaces if they are attacked by melee foes. It is the optimal C skill and there is no reason to replace it.
The seal is flexible. Atk/Spd Form is also a great choice to boost her stats further and allow her to KO enemies more reliably. It provides up to a +7 boost if three allies are within two spaces. Atk/Spd Bond is a similar option that boosts Atk and Spd by 5 if an ally is adjacent. Mystic Boost gives her some extra healing after combat but is generally weaker than the prior two options.

Passive A: Dragonhide

Passive B: Hardy Fighter 3

Passive C: A/R Far Save 3 / A/D Far Save 3 / Any Far Save

Sacred Seal: Dist. Counter (D)

This set is similar to the Near Save set, with the exception that some skills must be swapped out to use with Far Save.
Aegis allows Robin to reduce damage from ranged units by 75% plus an additional 5 damage, same as Pavise for melee units.
Dist. Counter (D) seal allows Robin to counterattack against ranged foes. It is generally necessary for this set to work, and usually a better choice than using a Distant Countering A Skill with a different seal, due to the multitude of effects provided by Dragonhide.
The boon and bane are flexible. +Spd is still a great choice, but less necessary than it is for the Near Save build, as there are fewer ranged units that rely on their Spd to follow-up or deny Robin’s follow-ups, and many ranged units are easier for Robin to KO in one counterattack. +Atk is also a good choice to go for those one-shot KOs. The bane is flexible; there is no great option but -Def and -Res are generally preferred over -HP; Robin’s 75% damage reduction with Aegis means that each point of Def or Res is only reducing her damage taken by .25 when Aegis activates. -Def is arguably the better option due to the fact that there are more common tome units that strike twice when initiating compared to bows and daggers, units such as Ninja Corrin, Winter Lysithea, and Summer Micaiah. However, either is a fine choice.

Strengths

Arcane Grima

While it is inheritable by all dragons, Arcane Grima is an incredibly powerful weapon with a variety of effects that are well-suited to Robin’s best builds. It accelerates her Special trigger, allowing her to use Aegis or Pavise in conjunction with Hardy Fighter for extreme amounts of damage reduction. It also provides several effects if her HP is at least 25% at the start of combat, including boosting all her stats, guaranteeing a follow-up attack, dealing extra damage equal to 15% of her Atk, and restoring 7 HP after combat. These effects make Robin powerful, durable, and consistent.

Dragonhide

Robin’s unique A skill Dragonhide sets her apart from other dragons and armors. In addition to the excellent Svalinn Shield effect of neutralizing her armor weakness, it also debuffs all her foe’s stats by 8 and grants Robin extra Special charge gain on every attack as long as her foe initiates combat, or has at least 75% HP. This removes the weakness to armor-effective weapons such as those wielded by Brave Chrom and Valentine’s Chrom and allows her to charge up her Special in one attack in most cases.

Colorless Armor Dragon

Robin’s status as a colorless armored dragon allows her to use great skills like Hardy Fighter, A/S Near Save, and Dragon’s Wrath 4.

Incredible Atk and Spd

Robin’s base 44 Spd is crazy and her base 41 Atk is great. These stats allow her to follow-up and avoid follow-ups against most foes while dealing high damage.

Good HP, Def, and Res

Robin’s base 43 HP, 35 Def, and 33 Res are all solid and allow her to survive many attacks.

Weaknesses

Dragon Weakness

Robin has no easily accessible way to remove her weakness to dragon-effective weapons such as Falchion or the effectiveness conferred by Naga’s Divine Fang, meaning she takes extra damage from them.

Weapons that Strike Twice

When using a Hardy Fighter build with a charged Special like Aegis or Pavise, Robin reduces the damage of the first hit she takes in combat massively. However, she has no damage reduction against any hit that follows it before she can counterattack, unless she opts for a seal like Deflect Magic. This means she is more easily threatened by units like Winter Lysithea and Ninja Corrin that strike twice when initiating combat. At the time of writing, these effects are much more common on ranged threats than melee, so this is more of a weakness for the Far Save build and not a big deal for Near Save.

Legendary Nanna

Legendary Nanna has the almost-unique ability to ignore damage reduction from Specials like Pavise and deal full damage. While she generally will not KO Robin in a single hit due to Robin’s solid HP and Def, she can deal much higher damage than most other melee threats and potentially set another unit up for the KO.
