Boons
- +ATK is always a nice boon in order to hit harder. Corrin's ATK is somewhat low so adding some investment to this stat does help. It is also worth noting that Corrin has a superboon in ATK.
- +SPD is mainly used for its defensive properties. Corrin's SPD allows her to block out potential follow-up attacks and further increasing it allows Corrin to do so more reliably.
Neutral
- DEF is one of Corrin's most defining traits. Ideally, Corrin should try to avoid taking a bane in DEF. However, it is unnecessary for Corrin to further invest in it as well as her base amount is adequate.
- RES is a little bit arguable, however, it is also recommended to leave it alone to ensure that she can survive some fights against magic damage. Taking a bane in RES is less punishing when compared to DEF; however, you will need to be even more careful against magical foes such as mages and dragons.
Banes
- -HP is overall Corrin's least important stat. The +5 HP gained from refining her weapon can easily compensate for the loss from the bane.

- Passive C: Varies
- Sacred Seal: Quick Riposte / Distant Def
This skill set is heavily focused on being a formidable force in the Enemy Phase.
The standard Quick Riposte and Warding Breath combo with Aether is extremely synergistic with Lightning Breath+. Steady Breath works throughout the Enemy Phase regardless of the opponent or Corrin attacking. With Corrin's good SPD stat, Corrin could easily unleash Aether on her foes in the player phase. The preference of Warding or Steady Breath is up to player's preference, however, Warding Breath does allow Corrin to have a better match-up against mages and other dragons. For a more budget-friendly combination, one could switch out Warding Breath with Fury, and Aether with Moonbow.
While it is possible for Corrin to run Quick Riposte on the B skill slot, Corrin should try to work on increasing her lackluster offensive stat. This could be done with Wrath 3, which increases her damage output and could potentially outright kill a target with a well-timed Aether activation. Aether also allows Corrin to recover back into the Quick Riposte range, which could be extremely handy in certain situations. For a more defensive oriented build, one could also consider using Guard to prevent specials from activating as well.
The remaining skills are up to the player's preferences depending on the team set-up.

- Passive B: Windsweep / Wrath / Swordbreaker
- Passive C: Savage Blow / Varies
- Sacred Seal: Quick Riposte / Phantom Spd / Speed +3
This skill set is heavily focused on neutering your opponent with Dark Breath+.
Corrin being the speediest dragon meant that she is the best dragon to run a debuff-centric set. Using a combination of Windsweep and Quick Riposte, Corrin could easily disable a target of her choice while remaining competitive in the Enemy Phase. The main purpose of this build is to occasionally rush in to debuff her opponents and take literally no damage due to the debuffs. As the focus is to debuff the opponent, running Savage Blow might be a worthy endeavor to further weaken the surroundings.
For the case of Corrin, Distant Counter is there simply to ensure that Corrin could still rush in on ranged opponents and counter them with Quick Riposte. However one could also focus on activating Windsweep using either Swift Sparrow or Darting Blow. Speed-based seals such as Phantom Speed and Speed +3 can also help Corrin in terms of Windsweep activation. Special selection depends on preference. Luna is a good option as Corrin can potentially activate it during her return fire when enemy initiates. Aether is also a good option to provide the healing Corrin needs to get back into Quick Riposte range.
Lastly, Corrin could also leverage Wrath to further enhance her damage output in both Player and Enemy Phase. However, Corrin will lose access to Windsweep, which meant that the debuffs are harder to leverage in the Player Phase.
Introduction
Corrin (F) is one of the two blue dragons that was released during launch along with Nowi. While Nowi is hailed as one of the strongest blue units in the game, often times Corrin is undeservingly under the radar. This is largely due to Corrin’s mediocre ATK stat. However, with the ability to wield a Breath weapon and a rather peculiar stat distribution, Corrin could provide a different form of niche that is radically different from standard builds.
Strengths
Breath Weapon
As mentioned in the Introduction, Breaths are a very potent weapon type. Its main characteristic is its adaptive damage against ranged units, which means it always hits the lower defensive stat of either DEF or RES. Furthermore, there is also a plethora of Breath skills to choose from, ranging from buffs to even the coveted Distant Counter. The Breath weapons can also be refined, further increasing Corrin's options.
Excellent physical bulk
With a good amount of DEF and HP, Corrin is able to take a good chunk of physical punishment. This turns out to be rather relevant as a blue unit due to an abundance of red sword units.
Adequate SPD
While she’s no speed demon, her Speed can be utilized very well in terms of blocking out crucial follow-up from foes. Complemented with her physical bulk, Corrin is a difficult unit to take out in a single round physically.
Weaknesses
Low ATK
Unfortunately, Corrin’s ATK stat is one of the lowest for dragons excluding Ninian. This means that she will struggle to finish foes in a single round. For certain Arena score ranges, this could be detrimental due to dancers with Wings of Mercy.
Mediocre RES
Magically, Corrin cannot really take a hit. She is prone to get outright killed in a single hit by most potent blade tome mages. She will also struggle with the dragon matchups if she chooses to engage in the Player Phase.
Relatively low stats for its class
While her base stat total (BST) is typical of launch units, comparatively against its own dragon class it is considered relatively inferior. Nowi, in particular, has a higher base stat total and is the same color as Corrin. This will have some minor impacts in terms of Arena scoring and possibly explains her relatively peculiar stat distribution.
Team Options
Counters
Corrin’s main weakness is her lack of Resistance and offensive prowess. This meant that Corrin is susceptible to magical attacks, and probably would not be able to finish off units in a single hit. However, with Windsweep as a potentially problematic option for Corrin, engaging her might be necessary.
Non-Windsweep
- Enemy Phase Axe: Enemy Phase Axe units such as both Hectors and Dorcas could also easily take her out, just be careful of Corrin potentially doubling your units.
Windsweep
- Speedy Axe: One of the few ways would be to completely outspeed Corrin to prevent Windsweep from happening. Raven with refined Basilikos is a good choice to do so.
- Green / Blue Magic: Due to her low Resistance, use magic (Naga inclusive) to knock her out, such as Nino, Summer Elise, and Julia. Strong blue magic, such as the Reinhardt and Linde could also take Corrin out with relative ease.
- Green / Blue Dragons: Corrin can be taken out with relative ease by enemy phase green and blue dragons such as Fae, Myrrh, and Nowi.

Lightning Breath+ (+Spd) | A | Steady Breath |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Ardent Sacrifice | B | Renewal 3 |
|
Bonfire | C | Fortify Dragons |
| S | Quick Riposte 3 | ||
This build is essentially an update on Corrin's bread and butter: with the Quick Riposte seal released, she now has a free B slot to improve her consistency. Renewal helps to keep Corrin in Quick Riposte's HP threshold, while increasing her already impressive bulk, especially for longer engagements. Steady Breath Bonfire is the standard set to help her confirm kos against her opponents, while her assist is flexible as she can serve as a pseudo healer in a dragon emblem team or have a mobility skill.

Light Breath+ (+Spd) | A | Darting Blow 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Reposition | B | Windsweep 3 |

| S | Attack +3 | ||
Support blade-tome users while being able to tank for them. This Corrin serves mainly to chip down (or possibly take out) a melee unit, then allow the team to take out the rest of the team.
If you want more offensive potential, swap out windsweep with sword breaker and she will be able to win around 110 more of her match ups, even if they have a speed boon. Just keep a green check for her in both situations.

Intended for use in Dragon Emblem, Corrin doesn’t need Lightning Breath+, as bows can be taken care of by allies (Tiki/Fae/Nowi) and red mages are not very common, so Dark Breath (+Spd) is taken to cripple the enemy team’s offense. Renewal and Ardent Sacrifice allow her to act as a healer (QR is unnecessary with 43 Spd unless you want to double Ayra and Mia) and Hone Atk is taken to buff her allies, although Drive Atk or Fortify Dragons could be used instead if you have the resources.

F.Corrin is an infantry dragon that occupies the same color and type as two others, Ninian and Nowi. Given the nature of Corrin's stats, it is common to choose Ninian as a dual support-and-red-check while Nowi as the offensive blue powerhouse. Corrin lacks either of these niches, as her standardized support abilities do not compare to the prowess of a dancer and her attack does not compare to that of a Nowi - however, what the others lack in Corrin receives in spades: speed.
Corrin rocks a standard 34 speed on neutral, 37 with a boon, and can reach rocket high numbers such as 44 without Fury, Sacred Seal, or Summoner Support. This speed allows her to do what Nowi cannot, in that her lack of raw power is constituted by her ability to double and allows for more flexibility in her B slot as opposed to the draconic standard, Quick Riposte.
For this build, Wrath is the boost of choice since her naturally high HP pool (common among dragons) allows her to consistently rock within the skill's range and benefit from its effect greatly. For example, her special, Ignis, will deal 80% of her defense as bonus; given this set, when Corrin is boosted from Atk/Def Bond and a dual Def/(x) Rally and is within Wrath's range, she will deal an extra 46 damage at each trigger, 51 with Close Def. This makes Corrin able to break apart the weapon triangle when her special is ready and allows her to continue rocking it thanks to the skill's secondary cooldown effect per turn.
Her C slot, as with almost any unit, can be replaced with something more beneficial to her team, or even with anything with easier access (as many pieces of this build befall). For this build, Infantry Pulse helps bolster 5-turn specials like Aether become 4-turn, and makes them more likely to fire in each battle.
Of course, Corrin is almost always going to be looked over for Nowi - simply because the Eternal Youth is much easier to build and requires little investment outside of merges. Plus, her incredible attack can make amends for her rather poor speed, and even then Quick Riposte is a coveted band-aid. So, why should you use Corrin? To put it simply, if you like the character or are looking for someone with versatility. I befall the former, so it isn't hard to sack rare characters for her, but to anyone who may just want to use her for a standard purpose, it is always safe to grant her that sweet +4 Atk boon and slap on the general dragon build. But for anyone looking for a strong, speedy, and defensive blue unit, Corrin is a great investment to any team.
