- Passive B: Wrath / Desperation
- Passive C: Even Attack Wave / Even Speed Wave / Flexible
- Sacred Seal: Quickened Pulse / Quick Riposte / Atk/Spd Bond / Darting Blow
Given the similarities between Rutger and other myrmidons like Ayra and Karla, it makes sense that his strongest build is very similar. With the Slaying Edge+ and Quickened Pulse, Rutger can fully charge Moonbow on turn 1, and deliver a powerful Wrath-boosted attack to deal considerable damage or KO an enemy. While Rutger cannot improve his stats with an Asset, merges will improve his Attack and Speed, allowing him to keep up with his rivals somewhat.
The core components of this build are Moonbow, Distant Counter, Wrath and Quickened Pulse. Moonbow is chosen for it’s short 2 turn cooldown, allowing it to be used on turn 1 after Quickened Pulse takes effect, and on every subsequent turn if Wrath is active. Wrath not only improves the regularity of Rutger’s Special attacks, but also provides a helpful +10 flat damage. Distant Counter ensures that Rutger can retaliate from any range, which will enable him to soak ranged attacks with his high Speed and respectable HP pool before retaliating with a deadly counterattack.
Rutger’s Assist and C slot skills are relatively flexible. For the C slot, offensive wave skills like Even Attack Wave or Even Speed Wave can improve Rutger’s combat effectiveness, but these effects can be granted by his teammates.

Reciprocal Aid Alternate: Reposition |
B | Desperation 3 |

Moonbow | C | Even Spd Wave 3 Alternate: Threaten Def 3 |
| IVs | S | Flashing Blade 3 |
- Weapon: Wo Dao+ (+Spd) / Slaying Edge+ (+Spd)
- Assist: Reciprocal Aid / Flexible
- Special: Moonbow / Luna / Galeforce
- Passive A: Swift Sparrow / Fury
- Passive B: Desperation / Special Spiral
- Passive C: Even Speed Wave / Even Attack Wave / Flexible
- Sacred Seal: Flashing Blade / Darting Blow / Atk/Spd +2
This build aims to sculpt Rutger into a more offense-oriented fighter who excels on the Player Phase moreso than the Enemy Phase. Though his Slaying Edge+ is fine, a Wo Dao+ can be taken instead to provide more damage upon Special activation. This decision will largely depend on his choice of Special and B slot skill.
Rutger has three appealing options for his Special skill: the first is the tried and tested Moonbow. With a short cooldown and relatively consistent damage, this skill complements the Wo Dao perfectly to provide quick burst damage. Alternatively, Rutger can opt for a damage skill with a longer cooldown like Luna and take Special Spiral. This will greatly improve Rutger’s damage output, though he will lose the safety granted by Desperation if he fails to KO his opponent. Lastly, Galeforce can be an unconventional but effective alternative, and is greatly improved by his original Slaying Edge and the Flashing Blade Sacred Seal.
Rutger’s remaining skills will depend on the above choices. Reciprocal Aid can be useful to bring Rutger into Desperation range, but the Assist slot is flexible. Similarly, Even Speed Wave can be helpful to improve Rutger’s Speed and offers great synergy with Flashing Blade, but he can achieve this buff through other means. Attack buffs will also be beneficial, as Rutger’s base Attack of 32 leaves something to be desired.
With all of the bonuses listed, Rutger will initiate combat with a respectable 50/52 in Attack and Speed, nearly guaranteeing a Speed-based follow-up attack as well as activation of the Flashing Blade seal. These figures can also be further improved with Drive or Spur buffs.
Troubadour’s Bodyguard (Bond Build)
|
Heart's Blade+ (+Spd) | A | Atk/Def Bond 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Reposition | B | Chill Spd 3 |
|
Moonbow | C | Even Spd Wave 3 Alternate: Threaten Def 3 |
| IVs | S | Atk/Spd Bond 3 |
- Weapon: Heart’s Blade (+Spd)
- Assist: Reposition / Flexible
- Special: Moonbow / Luna / Aether
- Passive A: Atk/Def Bond / Atk/Res Bond
- Passive B: Chill Spd / Chill Def / Quick Riposte / Wrath
- Passive C: Even Speed Wave / Even Attack Wave / Flexible
- Sacred Seal: Atk/Spd Bond / Darting Blow / Atk/Spd +2
Though many will choose to find an alternative to the Atk/Def Bond skill in Rutger’s base kit, his solid HP and Speed stats make Rutger deceptively bulky and he can do sufficiently well by improving on this trait.
For a Bond based build, Heart’s Blade is the logical choice for a weapon. Though expensive and hard to obtain, Rutger can make great use of the +3 to all of his combat stats on top of his other Bond skills. The most readily available choices are Atk/Def Bond in his A slot and Atk/Spd Bond in the S slot, which grants a total stat spread of 59/50/37/27 in Atk/Spd/Def/Res, though Rutger’s chosen Bond skills can be interchanged to fit the needs of the team. With Atk/Res Bond and Atk/Def Bond in the A and S slots respectively, Rutger can wield a more balanced stat spread of 59/45/37/32 in Atk/Spd/Def/Res before merges, buffs or other external factors, so long as he is adjacent to an ally.
Moonbow suits Rutger nicely due to its short cooldown, though with more defensive support Rutger can pull off stronger Special skills like Luna or even Aether. For his B slot, Chill Spd or Chill Def are the most straight-forward options, as Rutger can wait for the enemy to approach while receiving bonuses through his Bond skills and debuffing the enemy. Quick Riposte can guarantee follow-up attacks, allowing him to forgo a Speed boosting Bond skill in favour of more defensive buffs. Alternatively, Wrath can be a large damage increase, though it may be more difficult to reach the necessary HP threshold without moving Rutger away from an adjacent ally.
Introduction
The infamous master of critical hits finally arrives, and as a Grand Hero Battle reward unit with a statline that rivals Ayra, Karla and Owain, Rutger shouldn’t be underestimated as a fearsome hero.
Though his Attack sits at a middling base 32, hindered further by his inability to gain an Asset, Rutger’s impressive 39 Speed and impressively high HP pool make him a nimble and surprisingly bulky unit. These stats allow Rutger to perform admirably as an offensive or defensive hero, as his Speed provides crucial follow-up attacks or nullifies Speed based follow-ups from enemy heroes.
As previously mentioned, Rutger’s greatest weakness is his inability to improve his stats with an Asset. Though his base stats surpass those of a myrmidon like Owain, his rival can wield an Attack or Speed Asset to gain the upper hand. His lack of a PRF weapon also hinders his usefulness, as all three of Ayra, Karla and Owain wield their own unique weapons in addition to the range of inheritable weapons. Nevertheless, Rutger can be a powerful hero, with an extensive repertoire of powerful and effective build options.
“When I swing my sword, I do so to kill people. I have no interest in using my sword for play.”
Rutger, Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade
Strengths
Great Offensive Stats
32/39 in Attack and Speed is a great offensive spread, and while he cannot improve it with an Asset, it provides a solid foundation for improvement through other means like passive skills, buffs and refinements.
Respectable Bulk
With a base HP of 44 alongside his impressive Speed stat, Rutger can take a hit quite well with minimal risk of follow-up Attacks outside of those triggered by skills. Furthermore, Rutger’s defensive stats of 29/24, while not the greatest, are enough to put him level with Ayra and Owain.
Weaknesses
Reliant on Specials for damage
Rutger’s 32 base Attack isn’t the greatest for an offensive unit, meaning he’ll be heavily reliant on Special skills for effective damage dealing.Thankfully his high Speed enables him to deal more follow-up attacks, and thus charge his Special more quickly. Additionally, Slaying Edge+ as his default weapon will ensure he can use his Special more often.
No PRF Weapon
Whereas Ayra, Karla and Owain - Rutger’s closest rivals - all possess a unique PRF weapon, Rutger has no such advantage. He must make do with inheritable weapons instead.
Infantry Mobility
As an infantry unit, Rutger has access to powerful skills like Wrath, but his inability to traverse some terrain makes it harder for him to initiate combat. This weakens his effectiveness during the Player Phase, and forces him into more defensive builds.

Cake Cutter+ (+Spd) | A | Fury 4 |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Reposition | B | Desperation 3 |
|
Ruptured Sky | C | Atk/Spd Oath 3 |
| S | Brazen Atk/Spd 3 | ||
This build attempts to capitalize off of Rutger's impressive speed, and buff his lackluster attack stat. The Cake Cutter acts as Swift Sparrow, increasing attack and speed in the player phase. Fury 4 allows him to increase all stats during combat, and dealing 8 damage to him after a combat interaction. This allows him to essentially have controlled access to his B skill, Desperation 3, which guarantees that he will counterattack before the opponent when under 75% health. His C skill Atk/Spd Oath gives him a +5 boost to attack and speed if adjacent to an ally unit, working well with buff units or dancers. Overall this build gives him a terrifying increase to speed and a quite necessary buff to damage, coming out to a possible maximum of 52 attack and 59 speed without merges, and counterattack priority. If paired with a buff unit these stats can be increased further, and if paired with a dancer he can move across the map at high speeds possibly netting 3 kills per turn.

Slaying Edge+(Def):Great for the added +4 defense to give him an decent defense stat of 33.
Reposition: Just for moving allies out the way so he can tank instead.
Bonfire:When his defense gets fully stacked up combined with other skills he gets an additional 22 damage added,more if he's given buffs.
Brazen Atk/Def 3: At the cost of the 80% threshold,Rutger gets +2 Atk/Def than with his native bond skill,and doesn't have to be near any allies for this to happen.
Renewal 3: Just to keep him alive,and luckily doesn't interfere too much with the brazen's 80% HP threshold.
Odd and Even Def Wave: These two together combine to give Rutger a permanent +6 to his defense and helps to add to his bonfire damage.

In FE6 Rutger Had the infamous nickname of Critger due to his high critical hitrate
his skill set in FEH was rather mediocre at best and didn't compliment so He needed overhaul
For the A skill
Life ANd Death 3 in order to increase his already great ATK and Speed alternatively fury is another good option to have
for high budget A skills Swift Sparrow ATK/SPD Solo or Sturdy Impact could do the trick
For the B skill The best part of This build and the most expensive
Special Spiral 3 Once He Proc's His special he gets another chance to do it again thanks to the cooldown bonus
Making him Proc his special on either Phase No Clarine or Dieck Required (Dieck for Heroes plz) Replicating Rutgers Insanely high critrate
for his C skill while flexible i picked infantry pulse as it will allow him go give his allies easy chances to Proc their specials as well
For His Special It can either be Moonbow or Glimmer
if your looking to use more powerful Specials to synergize with special spiral Moonbow and Draconic Aura can do the trick
Reposition is an all around good skill for an assist
Overall this Build aims to Give Rutger the Treatment he deserved
as the Legendary Critger

Slaying Edge+ (+Def) | A | Atk/Def Bond 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Swap | B | Vantage 3 |
|
Ignis | C | Spur Res 3 |
| S | Atk/Def Bond 3 | ||
This setup capitalizes on Rutger's high speed and solid potential for physical bulk but necessitates a buddy to function well.
With both bonds active and a +Def Slaying Edge refine, Rutger's Atk & Def hits 56 & 43, respectively, before any other modifiers. Combined with 49 HP & 39 spd, he will likely have the ability to soak physical hits while denying or dishing out double attacks. Keeping Vantage on him confers an EP specialty, but this can be swapped out for Renewal for sustain. A def-scaling offensive special equips Rutger with a nuke, so Ignis or Bonfire work pretty well.
Rutger's weaknesses are his res and weapon type; this is where his buddy can help. Ideally, he should have a dedicated buddy who can cover his weaknesses as he covers theirs; e.g., a green unit with solid magical bulk and Swap. Rutger's own Swap and Spur Res can shine in this respect. Swap gives the buddy pair the freedom to tag in and out of enemy range to bulwark either physical or magical hits as necessary, and Rutger's Spur Res will only aid his buddy's magical bulk. Moreover, if they have developed an Ally Support, they can bolster each other's stats even higher. With the proper setup, it can be Rutger and his buddy against the world.
