Assets
-
+SPD: A Speed asset is often the most desired asset for offensive mages and Summer Elise is no exception. While not on the level of Speed that Nino has, Summer Elise will still possess a very good 37 Speed, giving her greater doubling potential.
-
+ATK: Summer Elise possesses an extremely high Attack stat. An Attack asset will boost her even further, up to an incredibly strong 39 Attack, giving Summer Elise a nice boost to damage.
Neutral
-
HP: Summer Elise’s HP stat is very low. While an HP flaw does mean that Summer Elise is more frail from both physical and magical attacks, she will still perform well overall.
-
RES: Summer Elise doesn’t have the greatest Resistance stat. It is still a good idea to avoid dropping it if possible since the majority of foes who can retaliate on her will be magical.
Flaws
-
-DEF: Defense is Summer Elise’s ideal flaw. Summer Elise has very low physical bulk to begin with. Dropping her Defense won’t have a large overall impact on her performance.

Thanks to her high Attack and Speed, Summer Elise can perform extremely well with a Blade tome.
Elise will preferably want either an Attack or Speed asset in order to increase her offensive potential. Gronnblade is a powerful tome that adds total value of bonuses on the user into their damage dealt. If Elise can be provided with multiple Hone or Fortify buffs, her damage out can be increased drastically. If one does not want to promote a Nino for the plus variant, the base Gronnblade can also work.
Ardent Sacrifice allows Elise to give 10 HP to an ally at the cost of 10 HP herself. More importantly, this allows her to be instantly dropped into the activation range of Desperation. Reposition is an alternative Assist that offers good utility and allows Elise to support in unit positioning when she doesn’t need to fight. Glimmer is a strong Special for Blade tomes since the power of Glimmer is based on damage dealt. Moonbow is another strong choice which cuts the enemies defenses. Overall, both make for powerful choices thanks to their low cooldown.
Atk/Spd Solo, Fury, and Swift Sparrow all make for great A slots for Blade tome users. Atk/Spd Solo is the strongest in terms of raw effect, granting a huge offensive boost whenever Summer Elise has no adjacent allies. Fury grants a nice buff to all stats while the post-combat damage helps lower Summer Elise into Desperation range. Swift Sparrow provides a strong offensive boost that's higher than Fury, though only when attacking. Desperation is the primary choice for any Blade tome user, allowing the user to perform any follow-up attack immediately should they be below 75% HP.
Odd Atk Wave will boost Summer Elise and adjacent allies by six Attack at the start of odd numbered turns. Not only is this a good support skill, but the ability to boost herself really shines with the Blade tome. Outside of this, what C slot will be most beneficial overall depends on team composition. The Hone and Fortify skills are often safe picks, allowing Summer Elise to buff adjacent teammates at the start of the turn. Finally, a Speed or Attack Sacred Seal will provide a nice buff to either stat, helping Summer Elise with either her doubling potential or damage output.

This set gives Summer Elise a nice balance of offensive and support potential.
An Attack or Speed asset will help with Elise’s offensive potential. Her default weapon, Hibiscus Tome, provides anyone with 2 spaces of her with one Attack and Speed. While this is not a large buff by any means, it is still a buff regardless. Forging the Hibiscus Tome for either Speed or Attack will help to boost Elise’s offensive potential even further. Her default Assist, Rally Atk/Res, will allow Elise to buff the Attack and Resistance of her target. A movement Assist such as Reposition is also a nice option which allows Elise to assist with unit positioning. Draconic Aura is a powerful Special that is based on Elise’s attack stat, giving her a significant damage boost whenever it activates. Moonbow is another solid choice thanks to its low cooldown.
Fury provides Elise with an overall boost to all her stats, helping her both offensively and defensively. Desperation allows for Elise to make any follow-up attack immediately should she be below 75% HP. G Tomebreaker is another option that allows Elise to perform a guaranteed double attack against any green mage while also preventing them from performing a double attack. If both Elise and the opposing green mage are using G Tomebreaker, the usual Speed check for doubling will be performed.
For the C slot, any of the Drive skills synergize well with the Hibiscus tome. Drive Spd in particular can be obtained from a four star hero and provides a boost of three Speed, stacking with the Hibiscus Tome to grant four Speed overall. Any of the Drive skills can also be used as Sacred Seals. One could use two different Drive skills, or even the same Drive twice for double the effect. Alternatively, any of the Spur skills also help Elise to support her teammates, though do note that Spur skills require Elise to be adjacent to whoever wants the buff.
Introduction
Hoping for some fun on the beach, Elise comes through in her new swimsuit. Summer Elise chooses to ditch her mount and her staff in favor of powerful magic, joining us as a powerful green tome infantry unit. Possessing amazing offensive power and lackluster defenses, Summer Elise fills a similar role to Nino.
With 36 Attack and 34 Speed, Summer Elise has an impressive offensive spread. She will hit incredibly hard and have good doubling potential. This is at the cost of poor survivability thanks to her low HP, Defense, and Resistance. She is susceptible to both physical and magical attacks, so keeping her out of enemy’s ranges on Enemy Phase is recommended whenever possible.
Overall, Summer Elise is a fantastic green mage with a lot of power behind her attack. While Nino is much more accessible and easier to obtain an optimal roll for, Summer Elise is still going to be a solid option for anyone looking for an offensive green mage.
Strengths
Fantastic Attack
Summer Elise possesses extremely high Attack and one of the highest Attack stats of all mages. With her 36 Attack, Summer Elise can easily rip through low Resistance opponents all while also possessing good doubling potential.
Great Speed
At 34 Speed neutral, Summer Elise comes with good doubling potential out of the gate. This can be further boosted through things such as a Speed asset, Fury, Life and Death, and Hone Spd, allowing Summer Elise to potentially reach Speed levels in the mid 40s. Combined with her amazing Attack, Summer Elise is capable of a lot of damage in a single round of combat.
Weaknesses
Poor Overall Bulk
With 34 HP, 18 Defense, and 25 Resistance, Summer Elise is frail on both ends of the spectrum. Physical attacks will severely cripple if not outright KO her, making any physical unit with Distant Counter a tricky target. While she can potentially bait magical attacks, she will still often take a lot of damage in return.
Green Mage Competition
Summer Elise’s main issue is not herself, but her fellow mages. Nino is the primary choice for an offensive mage and compared to her, Summer Elise does not stand out too much. Summer Elise has three more attack, but Nino has more Speed, much greater availability, and comes with her best tome, Gronnblade, by default, making Nino a cheaper option for a Blade mage. Other mages such as Julia, Deirdre, and Sonya all also offer their own unique niche which Elise cannot fulfill. That being said however, her competition doesn’t make Summer Elise any less competent of a green mage and will still serve as a powerful unit.

Boon: Atk or Spd (at +0, -Def is your best Bane)
Weapon: Gronnblade+
Support: Reposition / Draw Back
Special: Blazing Wind
Passive A: Heavy Blade 3
Passive B: Special Spiral 3 (effectively lowers Blazing Wind in this build to a 3-cooldown Special. This combined with Heavy Blade makes it incredibly easy to charge your Special.
Passive C: Odd or Even Atk Wave
Seal: Hardy Bearing
Summoner Support: Not necessary, but always welcome
Ally Support: Blue unit, preferably one who can deal with Red units with high Res, especially those that can still survive getting nuked by her and still counterattack.
Blazing Blade build with Heavy Blade and Hardy Bearing. This build turns Summer!Elise into a nightmare for any non-Red without high Res (and even then, some mid-Res Reds fall victim as AoE Specials deal neutral damage). Gronnblade's effect with Blazing Wind and Heavy Blade combine into a quickly-charging nuke that benefits from Hone and Fortify buffs and destroys group-reliant teams.
The Hardy Bearing Seal will be your best friend here. One of the most glaring weaknesses of all of the AoE nuke Specials is that they essentially help your opponent set up Vantage for free; with Hardy Bearing you won't have to worry about taking damage before you attack. It does prevent you from using Desperation, but it's a small price to pay when you do so much damage (especially when you consider that you're already doing two uninterrupted amounts of damage, so you're technically getting Desperation anyhow). Special Spiral, if used correctly, is a much better alternative anyhow, letting her very easily charge her Special.
A movement-based Special will help her out greatly when she's on a team with at least 1 unit with a Link skill. Her C, being either of the Atk Wave skills, is immensely helpful for Gronnblade's damage output.

Reposition | B | Axebreaker 3 |

Draconic Aura | C | Atk Tactic 3 |
S | Heavy Blade 3 |
Paired with Elise's high attack and rather middling speed, Death Blow 4 and Gronnblade will be able to dish out a great amount of damage.
Draconic Aura gains an extra cooldown reduction, making it a 4-turn cooldown. She will usually proc Heavy Blade, and in 2 turns she will have Draconic Aura ready. For some odd reason, there was no option in the B slot for Special Spiral, but Special Spiral is the optimal B slot. If aiming to kill strong axes like Surtr and Hector, or Special Spiral is not an option, Axebreaker is acceptable, too.
Elise is a strong green mage that can be overlooked because of the others in her color. However, with the right buffs and the correct skills, she can be as strong as mages like Ophelia.

![]() |
Rally Atk/Res | B | Renewal 3 |
![]() |
Glimmer | C | Even Spd Wave 3 |
S | Heavy Blade 3 |
Probably the most effective but expensive build for Summer!Elise I can think of building.
Gronnblade+ has synergy with Glimmer, Even Spd Wave, and Heavy Blade; Glimmer has synergy with Atk/Spd Push and Heavy Blade; and Atk/Spd Push has synergy with Even Spd Wave, Renewal, and Heavy Blade.
Even Spd Wave, regardless of having an adjacent ally, gives the unit +6 Spd for one turn every other turn, which just so happens to affect Blade tomes for more damage during those turns. Gronnblade+'s effect of getting more damage from Even Spd Wave, as well as Atk/Spd Push adding more Atk and doubling potential while at full HP, increases the damage you get when activating Glimmer. Though Gronnblade+ does turn Glimmer into a 3-charge Special, Heavy Blade helps (with a higher likelihood thanks to Atk/Spd Push) to charge it in two attacks and activate it in the third.
Renewal is there to help get Summer!Elise back to full HP so she can proc Atk/Spd Push more often. Still, she should have someone that can heal her to full — whether it be a healer or pseudo-healer — and having an HP bane greatly increases the number of units that can do this with Reciprocal Aid. Her default Rally Atk/Res is good to stay, though you could perhaps give her Harsh Command as the meta is starting to use debuffing skills more than ever. A positioning skill like Draw Back or Reposition would also be wise, especially if you happen to have an Armored ally(s).
An Atk boon is best because you're already getting enough Spd from Atk/Spd Push and Even Spd Wave, and you want to maximize the damage you can deal with Gronnblade+ and Glimmer.
For her weaknesses...give her Hardin, Lance!Lucina or Shiro as her ally. They're plenty tanky and can deal with most Red threats, especially if the latter two inherit Berkut's Lance+. You should also give her a Dancer as an ally, like Performing!Azura or Performing!Olivia; Performing!Shigure would also be welcome with his Geyser Dance, but if you use both a Lance user and Performing!Shigure your last unit will likely HAVE to be Red to balance out the team. As your Red ally, Default!Eirika would be the best (especially because of her Sieglinde's Hone Atk 3 effect, as well as its unique Forge refine effect).

Originally opened a -att +spd that broke my heart because I didn't want to use her with a -att bane and it took 6 summer Xander's to finally get her last day. Opened this one during the legendary banner she was on by accident since I wasn't opening for greens to begin with but when I saw +spd and not -att I was so happy.
Decided to go for the glass cannon build since I love seeing high attack values.
Draw back is my current choice for safety reasons but if I decide to use her in arena I might swap to rally att/res from her base kit for more scoring.

Summer Owl:
IV's: +Spd -Hp
A standard owl tome build for anyone who already has a dedicated Gronblade user, Elise has the same attack and three more points of speed when compared to Mae, making her a slightly stronger but frailer version of her.
A speed refinery should be taken to boost Elise to a crisp 42 speed and 50 attack when combined with Fury. Desperation is self-explanatory. Her assist and C skill are flexible, if she feels too frail go with Ardent Sacrifice to safely put her in Desperation range, if she seems fast enough then change Threaten Speed to whatever is desired. It's worth noting that Elise probably isn't the best unit to run ploy skills thanks to her good but not great Resistance stat.
