Finn

• Weapon: Firesweep Lance+
• Assist: Reposition / Swap / Ardent Sacrifice
• Special: Moonbow / Glimmer
• Passive A: Life and Death / Swift Sparrow / Fury
• Passive B: Chill Spd / Swordbreaker / Hit and Run
• Passive C: Threaten Def / Fortify Cavalry / Ward Cavalry
• Sacred Seal: Speed +3 / Attack +3

Finn’s stats wind up looking similar to other lance cavalry units, such as Oscar, Peri, and Camus. His decent Attack and Speed along with his access to Firesweep Lance allows him to function well as a Player Phase blue glass canon for your team.

In a meta revolving around heavily-defensive Enemy Phase units, it can be a boon to have a unit on your roster who does not fear retaliation. Luckily, this Firesweep Lance set allows Finn to do just that, as it raises his stats up to a round 54 Attack and 41 Speed- with a Hone Cavalry buff on him, he can hit 60 Attack/47 Speed, which is generally enough to double most opponents for the KO.

Chill Spd is expensive but further enables Finn to get KOs on any speedy unit he may encounter, however, he can also utilize Swordbreaker to a similar end, as most of the fastest units in the game are sword wielders. Hit and Run is an out-of-combat option that gives Finn a little more maneuverability in his attacks.

Because this set dumps Defense and Resistance for Attack and Speed, Finn serves well as a defensive buffer for your cavalry team and can offer up a Fortify or Ward Cavalry to assist his team with.

As far as Sacred Seals go, there aren’t many that behoove a fully offensive Player Phase set, but increasing Finn’s Speed will always be a benefit, as will increasing his Attack.

• Weapon: Slaying Lance+ (+Spd/Def)
• Assist: Reposition / Swap
• Special: Bonfire / Aether
• Passive A: Fury / Close Def / Atk/Def Bond / Attack Def 2
• Passive B: Quick Riposte / Swordbreaker / Renewal
• Passive C: Threaten Def / Goad Cavalry
• Sacred Seal: Close Def / Quick Riposte

Finn has good duelist stats, so there’s little sense in letting them go to waste. With 33 Speed, he’s easily capable of hitting 39 given Fury and a Slaying Lance refine. Factor in his above-average Defense, and he’ll be difficult to take down no matter which phase he’s in. With a Hone Cavalry buff, he can initiate in the Player Phase with 45 Speed for an attack that will double many of the slower units in the game. If he can’t double on the offense, then his Speed helps him to avoid doubles on the defense while utilizing Quick Riposte to attack twice in return. This guarantees a Bonfire proc off of his sizable Defense stat of 41, with Fury and Close Def Seal equipped.

For more drawn out battles, Renewal can be run in his B slot instead with Quick Riposte in his Seal slot. This helps him shrug off his Fury self damage and any chip damage he receives in combat and allow him to have more sustain in fights and keep his HP above Quick Riposte thresholds.

Going +Spd on the Slaying Lance gives Finn the utility to be run in either Player or Enemy Phase- for a pure Enemy Phase unit, you may want to use +Def for his refine instead and focus your attention into his defenses. Either way, he’s going to be quite tanky and able to retaliate with a strong counterattack.

• Weapon: Brave Lance+
• Assist: Reposition
• Special: Luna / Moonbow
• Passive A: Death Blow / Life and Death / Attack +3
• Passive B: Swordbreaker / Lancebreaker / Chill Def
• Passive C: Threaten Def / Goad Cavalry
• Sacred Seal: Attack +3 / Quickened Pulse

This build is a way to utilize Finn on a budget, so that he can still put in work for you without breaking the inheritance bank. While Chill Def is likely his most optimal B slot for a Brave set, focusing on budget options brings us back to B skills such as Swordbreaker and Lancebreaker, both of which will allow him to pick up quad kills that he would have missed otherwise.

Death Blow and Attack +3 raise his Attack by 9, which gives him 18 more damage during his Player Phase attacks. Conversely, you can utilize Moonbow with Quickened Pulse for a Moonbow proc on your first engagement, but afterwards he’ll only proc it on every other engagement.

Using this build, Finn will be perfectly able to demolish PvE content, but may struggle a bit in the Arena, particularly against high-Defense blue and green units. A friendly Hone Cavalry can help him overcome these issues, if available.
