Ylgr

• Preferred IV: +SPD or +ATK / -DEF or -RES

• Weapon: Sylgr

• Assist: Reposition / Flexible

• Special: Moonbow / Glimmer

• Passive A: Atk/Spd Solo / Swift Sparrow / Fury / Sorcery Blade

• Passive B: Desperation

• Passive C: Odd Atk Wave / Even Spd Wave / Spd Tactic / Flexible

• Sacred Seal: Flashing Blade / Speed +3 / Attack +3

This build aims to capitalize on Ylgr’s strong offensive stat spread and her personal weapon, Sylgr -- a combination of factors that allow her to function as a surprisingly potent frontliner, especially so when properly supported.

In addition to granting her a flat +3 Speed boost, Sylgr allows Ylgr to consistently output solid amounts of damage through its conditional +4/+4 Atk/Spd in-combat boost, requiring her to have more Speed than her opponent in order to be active -- given her already high base Speed, however, this condition is relatively easy to meet. Although this effect is seemingly pretty straightforward, it does provide Ylgr with another distinct advantage: in contrast to her direct competition, Ylgr only needs to have 1 more Speed than her opponent (as opposed to the typical 5) to perform follow-up attacks, strengthening her viability as an offensive unit by enabling her to contest even the fastest of units.

Moonbow will generally be Ylgr’s most effective option for her Special thanks to its usefulness against bulky foes who would otherwise prove to be a nuisance, though her native Glimmer is a solid alternative that can find its uses against red foes or those with high HP but low Defense. Furthermore, when combined with the Flashing Blade seal, both of the aforementioned options have the additional benefit of being able to activate in every round of combat even while under Desperation’s HP threshold, provided that she can double her opponent.

As for her choice of main skills, Atk/Spd Solo is an exceedingly powerful A slot skill that pairs wonderfully with this build’s offensive playstyle, granting her a substantial +6/+6 boost to both of her offenses without detracting from her already poor bulk or needing any set-up. It does, however, require her to not have any adjacent allies for the skill’s effect to be active, but as Ylgr will typically be away from her allies most of the time regardless, Atk/Spd Solo’s positioning requirement is negligible at best. Should it be unavailable, Swift Sparrow is a strong alternative that provides Ylgr with a similar boost to her offensive potential upon initiation. Alternatively, one can utilize Fury to strengthen her ability to take a hit from an opposing foe while simultaneously increasing her offenses as well. Although somewhat tricky to make use of in practice, Ylgr’s native Sorcery Blade can still be a serviceable A slot skill should no other option be available or if one wishes to invest as minimally as possible in the young princess.

Desperation is an inarguably vital component of this build and is necessary for Ylgr to be able to strike in succession without having to worry about being killed in retaliation. Odd Atk Wave and Even Spd Wave make for excellent candidates to utilize in her C slot, allowing her to be relatively self-sufficient while also being able to provide team support in the form of a sizable boost to one of her allies’ offensive stats. Otherwise, any skill that best suits her team’s needs can be used here, such as her native Spd Tactic. Lastly, if the Flashing Blade seal is unavailable, the Speed +3 and Attack +3 are good alternatives to supplement her offensive presence further.

• Preferred IV: +SPD or +ATK / -DEF or -RES

• Weapon: Sylgr

• Assist: Reposition / Flexible

• Special: Moonbow / Glimmer / Luna

• Passive A: Atk/Spd Solo / Swift Sparrow / Life and Death / Fury

• Passive B: Windsweep / Chill Spd / Watersweep

• Passive C: Atk Smoke / Spd Smoke / Savage Blow

• Sacred Seal: Spd Smoke / Atk Smoke / Savage Slow / Phantom Spd

This set takes a far more supportive approach to Ylgr’s statline and PRF, allowing her to provide team support and function as a competent debuffer while still retaining some of her offensive prowess. If making use of Windsweep or Watersweep, a Speed boon will be her ideal choice of IVs to have it activate as reliably as possible but otherwise, a boon to either of her offensive stats can be considered ideal.

Thanks to their relatively low Special cooldown, Moonbow and her native Glimmer are again her best options for a Special, though Luna can also be considered for its greater effectiveness against bulky foes. Atk/Spd Solo provides Ylgr with a potent increase to both of her offenses and when combined with a Speed boon and Sylgr, she will be able to reach a staggering 50 Speed — although this would usually be considered overkill, this amount of Speed can be extremely beneficial if utilizing Windsweep or Watersweep in her B slot, virtually ensuring its activation. This can be heightened further through the use of the Phantom Speed seal but it will usually prove to be unnecessary. Swift Sparrow, Life and Death, and Fury are all suitable alternatives should Atk/Spd Solo be unavailable.

Windsweep, and to a lesser extent, Watersweep are great skills to make use of as her chosen B slot skill, enabling her to safely apply debuffs on the opposing team while remaining completely healthy, provided that she has more Speed than her opponent. The choice between the two, however, is ultimately up to personal preference as both skills have the same effect of canceling out counterattacks, but differ in the type of opponents they affect. One can also make use of Ylgr’s native Chill Spd to immediately apply a debilitating -7 Spd debuff on the fastest enemy on the opposing team without requiring her to even engage in combat.

Taking Atk Smoke and Spd Smoke as her chosen C and seal slot respectively (or vice versa as the end result is ultimately the same) is a great course of action, letting her inflict a devastating -7 Atk/Spd/Def/Res debuff on her target and on opponents within two spaces of said target with a single strike. Alternatively, one can run Savage Blow in either her C slot, seal slot, or both to stack chip damage on top of her debuffs. This chip damage can be especially effective when dealing with tanks and can be used to slowly detract from their health until it is low enough for Ylgr’s allies to swiftly sweep through the now weakened foes.
