Boon
-
+SPD: The ideal stat for Delthea to boost is Speed. A Speed boon will take Delthea from 34 Speed to 37 Speed, increasing her doubling potential and allowing her to more easily resist doubles from faster mages such as Nino.
-
+ATK: Boosting Delthea’s Attack is also a good option. With Delthea being tied for the highest Attack available on a blue mage, an Attack boon will only increase her already very high damage potential even further.
Bane
- -DEF: Delthea’s Defense is simply terrible, with her being tied for the worst Defense in the game. Since she’ll be KO’d by physical units easily regardless, a Defense bane will barely have an impact on her performance.

Delthea’s primary set allows her to serve as both a great offensive unit and great support unit at the same time without sacrificing one role for the other. It is also budget friendly, being quite easy to build with no required skill being locked to rare units.
From an offensive perspective, the Speed boon gets Delthea to 37 Speed, giving her much better doubling potential. Fury serves as a great choice for the A slot, giving Delthea an all-round boost to her combat potential with boosts in all stats bar HP. Desperation in the B slot also permits Delthea to perform any follow-up attack immediately, allowing her to potentially KO Hector and Dorcas before they can destroy her on their retaliation. Draconic Aura plays off of Delthea’s insanely high Attack, though Moonbow and Luna also serve as great options. As Alternatives, an Attack boon Delthea will also work very well while Life and Death and her default Death Blow 3 are fine alternatives for her A slot.
From a support perspective, Delthea’s dark aura grants a huge boost of Attack to any melee range unit. This is further boosted with her Drive Attack C slot skill which boosts all allies within 2 spaces by 3 Attack. She can run a variety of Assist skills, such as Draw Back or Reposition, to help units out of danger or a Rally of choice for further boosting. What C slot you use for boost is completely up to player preference, but the fact that she comes with Drive Attack by default makes it a very appealing option.
Your Sacred Seal of choice can boost either her offensive or support potential. A simple Speed or Attack Sacred Seal will help her offensively while a Spur, Hone, or Fortify Sacred Seal will increase her supporting prowess.

This Delthea setup is your typical Blade tome setup, ditching her support potential for full-on offensive capabilities.
The Blarblade tome is the star of the show here. This tome will deal extra damage based on the amount of Hone and Fortify boosts that Delthea has received, so if Delthea has been given a lot of buffs from a unit such as Ephraim or Eirika, she will deal an immense amount of damage with the Blade tome.
As for skills, Swift Sparrow makes for a fantastic A slot choice, granting Delthea with a +4 boost to Attack and Speed when initiating combat, making it a solid choice for boost her already high offensive power. Life and Death is a good alternative but do be careful as it lowers Delthea’s already low Defense even lower to single digit levels, though this is less of a problem for Delthea with a higher merge level. Fury is a good budget option for the A slot. Combine your A slot skill of choice with Desperation for immediate follow-up when below 75%, a good offensive Special such as Moonbow or Draconic Aura and either an Attack or Speed Sacred Seal and you’ll have one powerful offensive Delthea.
Odd Atk Wave will boost Delthea and adjacent allies by six Attack at the start of odd numbered turns. Not only is this great from a support perspective, but the fact that the boost also affects the user make it an amazing C slot for Blade mages. For a budget option, Delthea’s default Drive Attack will work absolutely fine as the C slot. The Assist slot has basically anything being an option. A movement skill like Draw Back or Reposition is good for team support while Ardent Sacrifice is another good choice which allows Delthea to instantly reach Desperation range in a single use.
Introduction
Delthea comes through into the world of heroes as a powerful blue mage, comparably similar to Linde. Delthea possesses great offensive potential with the added bonus of being a great support unit. This combined offensive and support prowess makes Delthea a very desirable unit as she can serve as an effective combat unit and effective unit buffer at the same time.
Delthea’s offensive power comes from her great Attack and Speed. At 36 Attack and 34 Speed, Delthea has the sort of offensive stat spread that’s quite typical for offensive mages, identical to that of Summer Elise. This combined with her personal tome gives Delthea a strong offensive presence on the battlefield.
Meanwhile, Delthea’s supporting potential comes from her tome, the Dark Aura. This tome grants a hone-style buff of +6 Attack to melee range units who start their turn next to Delthea. This combined with her default Drive Attack skill allows her to buff the Attack of melee allies by a potential 9 Attack, making her an excellent choice as a support unit alongside melee allies.
Delthea is not without her drawbacks. Delthea is very physically frail with the poorest Defense in the game and low HP, meaning that physical units will make short work of her. She does have good Resistance, but her low HP means that mages such as Nino and Reinhardt are quite capable of a ORKO against her. This severely hinders Delthea’s enemy phase performance, relegating her to being pretty much only a player phase unit, though this can be said for most offensive mages.
All in all, Delthea serves as a solid choice for a blue mage. She comes pre-packaged with great skills meaning she is great on a budget and works very well as both an offensive and supporting unit. If you want a powerful blue mage for your team, Delthea can certainly fill the role well.
Strengths
Great Attack and Speed
At 36 Attack neutral, Delthea has the tied highest Attack stat of any blue mage, tying with Lute and Mae. This means she reaches 50 Attack with Dark Aura and hits incredibly hard. 34 Speed, while not the best for doubling potential at base, is high enough that it can be heavily boosted with skills to make her very competent at doubling, giving her a strong overall offensive presence.
Dark Aura
Dark Aura is Delthea’s personal tome, allowing her to buff the Attack of melee units (anyone using Sword, Lance, Axe or Dragonstone) by 6 points. This is a hone-style buff, so melee units will need to start their turn next to Delthea to get the boost and the boost will NOT stack with Hone Attack or Rally Attack. This makes Delthea a great support unit for practically any melee unit.
Great starting loadout
Delthea comes with great base skills in Miracle, Death Blow and Drive Attack. Death Blow increases Delthea’s already insanely high damage output, making it a natural fit on her. Drive Attack has great synergy with Dark Aura, turning her into a fantastic supporting unit for melee characters. Miracle is the one weak link, but it is still a decent Special if no other option is available. This means Delthea is great for players looking for a character who’s cheap to build since Delthea can run with all of her base skills quite effectively.
Weaknesses
The worst Defense
At 13 Defense, Delthea has the lowest Defense stat in the entire game. Because of this, she is very susceptible to any form of Attack which deals physical damage. Delthea will need to take caution when attacking any physical attacker with Distant Counter, especially those with a weapon triangle advantage against her.
Low HP
At a neutral HP of 33, Delthea has one of the lowest HP stats in the game. When combined with Delthea’s pitiful Defense, this makes her extremely weak to physical attacks, with even reds being able to easily cut through her defenses.
Team Options
Counters
-
Distant Counter physical units: If a unit has Distant Counter, chances are that Delthea will need to land a OHKO in order to survive due to her frail nature. While this is generally not a problem for Delthea against red DC units like Ike or Ryoma, she can struggle to OHKO DC greens such as Hector and Dorcas, resulting in them getting a OHKO on her in return. She will also struggle against Fjorm thanks to her high resistance and unique Special Ice Mirror.
-
Refined Distant Counter Dragons: With the weapon refinery, Dragonstones were given a new effect where they target the enemies lower defensive stat if they are a ranged fighter. This means that Delthea cannot safely attack dragons anymore since they will now target her Defense rather than Resistance. Myrrh, Fae, and Fallen Robin are all of particular notice since all three have a weapon triangle advantage against Delthea.
-
Fast Player Phase physical units: Any physical unit designed to approach and attack on Player Phase will destroy Delthea. Units such as Ayra, Mia, Brave Lyn, Legendary Ephraim, and Bridal Cordelia will all ORKO Delthea with little to no problem, so it is heavily advised to avoid using Delthea for baiting.

This build for Delthea is a full Support build. She already gives enormous buffs to melee attackers with Dark Aura, and this build is here to completely buff everything. So the setup is going to be very similar to Eirika or Ephraim where you give bonus to every stat. So with Dark Aura giving +6 Atk, Hone Speed 3 and Fortify Def 3 giving +4 Spd and +4 Def respectively you give any adjacent melee unit an additional 14 points in buffs. Rally Resistance is there to help your units survive encounters with mages, but this can be changed to a Reposition, Draw Back or Reciprocal Aid if needed. As for Delthea's own offensive capabilities there isn't much to say. Life and Death 3 gives her 55 Atk and 42 speed with the recommended boon/bane of +spd/-def. She will hit fast and hard and desperation makes sure that she can hit multiple times in a row if she survives an encounter. Though be warned she does only have 5 def with this build so if you point a sword in her general direction she will die. So if you are going to get her into a scuffle make sure its against a mage where she will at least survive and be in Desperation range. You could also use Reciprocal Aid to safely put her under the life total needed though this build is much more support focused than anything else.

with summoner support, delthea's neutral spd in 38, 44 with darting blow. she has enough attack and doesn't need LnD, plus it's nice for her to keep her res bulk

+3 Speed seal allows her to hit 40 speed with a +Spd boon, which is really good and doesn't require Life and Death to be inherited, allowing her to keep her good res stat to run Res Ploy 3. Her native A slot skill is good as is due to her speed stat already sitting at a good spot.
