Fjorm's lack of Attack leaves her wanting a boosted IV in that area. However, being such a strong all-rounder, she can perform consistently with nearly any combination, each granting her something different.
Boons
- +ATK: Attack is a universally good boon on Fjorm, as it increases her raw damage output. In particular, this can be the deciding factor in her matchup against Young Tiki and Female Corrin.
Neutral
- SPD: Fjorm prefers not to give up her Speed, which puts her defensive stats and HP on the cutting block.
- DEF: Reducing Defense leaves her vulnerable to being killed by Mia, Ayra, and Ryoma. Also, it reduces four stats instead of the regular three.
- RES: Reducing Resistance will make it harder for Fjorm to activate Ploy skills if she chooses to run them as well as weakening the activation of Iceberg/Glacies
Banes
- -HP: Dropping HP is the least detrimental to Fjorm's overall performance.

With a natural Distant Counter on her weapon, Fjorm is one of the few lucky units who can run Steady Breath and counter-attack at range. This lets Fjorm counterattack with a four turn Special within a single round of combat, provided she attacks twice. Therefore, Quick Riposte is essential for this build.
Thanks to her high Resistance, Fjorm hits like a truck with Glacies, and has enough Defense to survive all but the strongest physical damage (especially with Steady Breath). Going for the extra power here is required in order to KO Distant Counter Effie and Corrin(F). Fjorm is not designed to initiate combat, This build is designed to KO enemies that attack her instead.
This form of Fjorm is also capable of handling ranged magic damage, due to her excellent base Resistance and the Distant Def Seal. She is capable of KO'ing common blue mages such as Delthea and Lute with a single counterattack, even if they run Fury. She is a good candidate if you need a unit to provide buffs, since she does not mind sacrificing her Seal slot in order to run a Hone skill. If you intend on using her alongside Blade tome mages, a Dual Rally skill can be used instead of Reposition or Swap. She can also run Ploy skills, but this is not recommended if you have a Resistance bane.

- Passive C: Drive Atk / Flexible
- Sacred Seal: Close Def / Deflect Magic / Hone Atk
Fjorm is one the strongest free units available at five stars. She's a great candidate for Arena Assault thanks to her ability to tank variants of both Reinhardt and Brave Lyn. However, she will die to Reinhardt's with Lancebreaker and she will fail to revenge kill Lyn thanks to Sacae's Blessing.
Her most simple form of build uses most of her default kit, focusing down on her ability to tank mages and retaliate with boosted damage. Ice Mirror gives Fjorm incredible Resistance to ranged attacks. With this set, she can tank and revenge kill all common blue mages without Lancebreaker. Keep in mind that her default skill Atk/Def Bond can be used in place of Fury, but this will swing her matchup with Olwen against her.
If surviving higher-merged Reinhardt is a problem, Deflect Magic will allow her to survive him comfortably. She can also survive most Brave Bow variants, but struggles vs. Firesweep Bows who naturally block counter-attacks. Her C slot skill is up to you and your team, but her default C skill Drive Atk is a versatile choice that suits her well if you aren't running her in a prebuilt team. She can also run Ploy skills, but this is not recommended if you have a Resistance bane.
If anything, Fjorm lacks Defense, which is why Close Def is such a good choice for her. Alongside Ice Mirror, it has excellent synergy to cover all offensive threats. She can give it up for a Hone skill in her Seal slot, but this means she will lose vs. Vidofnir Tana and Brave Lance Cordelia.
Introduction
The beautiful Ice Princess Fjorm is a stellar unit, having what looks like a typical dragon’s statline with a legendary weapon and Special to boot. Her statline and skills make her versatile, but she is best suited as an enemy phase unit, luring and scoring key KO’s against enemy teams. Fjorm lacks the raw power that other tanks possess, and can find it difficult to get KO’s without changing her Special. But for new players or those strained on resources, Fjorm can perform excellently with minimal investment.
Fjorm's great mixed defenses serve her well in her fights, making her strong vs. dragons. She's also one of the easiest units to throw out on the field, coming with a nearly-fully loaded kit right out of the gate. However, when compared to other tanks, she lacks their damage output without relying on her Special to score KO's. And she finds it tough to build for both physical and magic bulk, although she can do either well when built for it.
Strengths
Great mixed defenses.
- When looking at Fjorm’s statline, what jumps out is her high combined Defense and Resistance. Typically, tanks only wall one type of damage, lest they sacrifice their Attack or Speed (such as Sheena). Fjorm can do both, and has a better Speed tier than nearly all tanks of the same type.
Comes with a great base kit.
- One of the best things about Fjorm is her performance with her default kit. She can be slapped onto any team as a solid mage counter and do her job.
Weaknesses
Has trouble dealing damage.
- Fjorm’s base Attack stat of 30 is measly in comparison to other tanks, leaving her lacking in comparison to them.
- In order to survive magical damage, Fjorm wants to keep Shield Pulse and her unique Special, Ice Mirror. However, this limits her damage potential significantly, stopping her from running Glacies or Iceberg to inflict massive damage.
- Fjorm also wants Quick Riposte to patch up her average Speed, which means she cannot use Shield Pulse.
Hard to build for both Physical + Magic damage.
- Even when running her Shield Pulse + Ice Mirror set, Fjorm can only barely survive the attacks of strong enemy units.
- Shield Pulse, Ice Mirror and Distant Def tend to target magical based attackers, where Steady Breath and Close Def err towards physical.
- Shield Pulse + Ice Mirror reduces the damage of the first hit taken, but Brave weapon users (including Reinhardt) activate their Special on the second turn, meaning the stronger hit is not reduced at all.
Team Options
Counters
Green units with high Defense are very tough for her to KO. Windsweep builds are very troublesome for her, circumventing many of her ideal skills. Her Shield Pulse + Ice Mirror set can actually let Fjorm tank and KO some of the frailer mages, but this is heavily dependent on boon/bane sets, Seal choices and merge differences. Without Glacies/Iceberg, Fjorm will fail to punch through high-Defense units, even those of her own colour.
- Physical greens: Hector, Dorcas, Fae, Sheena, Winter Chrom, Winter Lissa, Amelia, Brave Ike completely defeat Fjorm.
- Magical greens: Nino, Soren, Rhajat, Gunnthra - Fast green mages can punch through Fjorm's defenses, taking advantage of her middling Speed to double and KO her.
- Firesweep users: Brave Lyn, Cordelia, Tana, Bridal Cordelia - Strong Firesweep weapon users can attack Fjorm for free without risk of counter.

She has Replaced my Celica in Baiting mage units or any unit that attacks from a range with the exception of surefire or similar skilled units. This unit who can be obtained for free at the start of the game needs very little help in becoming a strong unit and for her position works Excellently she also leads my water team with Lucina, Kagero and Brave Ike.

This build combines her biggest strength (her great mixed bulk) with the most powerful element of the current meta, Horse Emblems. This way can she lure and kill Reinhardt, Brave Lyn and even Blade Cecilia effectively which gives her a unique place within the current metagame. Of course can she OHKO any Red rider too.
Spd boon is chose to prevent quad attacks from Brave Bow Lyn (who can only get one less point of Spd at the same merge level) and double attack on Cecilia if this one does not use Fury.
Res bane is mandatory to survive Brave Lyn. It is not 100% reliable though, a Lyn with Mulagir and Atk boon might kill her nevertheless. But she will not survive Fjorm's attack too.

Life and Death lets Fjorm get maximum value out of her unique special, while bumping her Atk and Spd up to respectable levels to be able to kill things and prevent doubles. This build lets her tank Reinhardt and even green mages, and kill them in return.
If keeping Fjorm as a ranged counter, Atk+3 seal is recommended to help finish the foe in one attack. As an alternative, she can equip Deflect Magic/Deflect Missile against brave attackers. This does not directly boost her defensive stats and the damage prevented will be added to her attack thanks to Ice Mirror. If opting to utilize Fjorm as a mixed tank, Close Def 3 can be used to help get her bulk back for melee matchups.

Reposition | B | Quick Riposte 3 |

Glacies | C | Def Ploy 3 |
| S | Close Def 3 | ||
This build takes Fjorm's naturally high Resistance and adds the traits of a physical tank to her, transforming her into an infantry Gwendolyn with built-in DC and a free C-skill (since Fjorm doesn't use Armor buffs). Atk/Def Bond and a Close Def seal grant Fjorm 41 Defense and 40 Resistance during close combat, letting her tank physical units and dragons alike then retaliate with a respectable 54 Attack. Quick Riposte is used to work around her mediocre speed, securing kills against fast, squishy units and charging Glacies faster.
While this build focuses on physical combat, Fjorm still possesses high natural Resistance and thus can run Ploy skills effectively; Def Ploy is recommended to boost her damage output against bulky units, but Atk Ploy or even Spd Ploy can be used to increase Fjorm's survivability. Finally, Reposition is chosen both for its ability to rescue her allies and for its synergy with Atk/Def Bond.
This build requires careful positioning to make the most of, but the payoff is immense.

Fury 3 is needed to avoid a ton of doubles from the 36-38 Speed bracket.
With Fury 3, a neutral Fjorm avoids the following doubles:
-Neutral Spe: Elincia, Linde, all Lucina variants, Nino, Tana, Ayra, Lyn, Anna
-Positive Spe: Both Azura variants, Celica, Performing Inigo, Klein, both Olivia variants, Amelia, Summer Corrin, Delthea, Halloween Henry, Innes, Rhajat, Brave Roy, Halloween Sakura, Titania, both Cordelia variants, Eirika, Brave Lyn, all Lucina variants (except the neutral Masked Marth), Nino, Tana
Some of these should be taken with a grain of salt; for instance, Brave Lyn's Speed will probably be boosted through Swift Sparrow 2 or cavalry buffs, and Fjorm can't counter her anyway. But it should be clear that Fury 3 helps her avoid a lot of doubles.
