Florina has many barriers keeping her from being a good unit, but any one of them can be broken through with proper investment- the problem is that this prevents one from increasing her other stats.
Boons
- +ATK: With an Attack stat of 29, it is generally in Florina’s best interest to further increase her offensive power by building her subpar Attack, rather than her poor Speed.
- +RES: Increasing Florina’s Resistance helps her to become even more tanky when facing off against mages and manaketes, in addition to giving her nearly unparalleled access to Ploy skill debuffs.
Neutral
- SPD: Florina can readily take Speed as her bane or her boon- it doesn’t help her much sitting at 27, and she can either try to increase it to avoid being doubled by her enemy, or take a bane in it to guarantee doubles from her enemy and offer her access to more powerful Specials in a single turn.
- DEF: Defense is not Florina’s strong suit, and there are better options for defensive lance fliers, though it is a superboon and she can stand to increase it to 29 to further her dueling capabilities.
Banes
- -HP: HP is one of Florina’s strong suits, but if not taking a bane in Speed, it’s more worthwhile to drop HP than any other stat. If it’s kept at neutral, however, then she can run Boost skills or Panic Ploy.

Florina naturally comes with a very nice kit for dueling armor teams, where she’s not as set back by her poor Speed as she is when facing off against other units. She is perhaps the best natural counter to Winter Tharja in the game due to her high Resistance, her color typing, and her effective weapon.
Due to the versatility in armor units, Florina’s IV set is therefore also flexible. Increasing her Defense via her superboon or her A slot (or both) are good options for her to increase her dueling capability, and may be more valuable than Attack since her weapon is effective against armor anyway. However, against the bulkier armors, then she will need all the damage she can get, and a +ATK Florina will deal 5 more damage per hit.
Florina’s Lance does not activate when she is attacked by a ranged user, therefore a Florina using her native prf generally wants to focus on her melee engagements. This makes Fury an excellent A slot for her, as it increases her effectiveness in all forms of combat, increasing her Defense to easier tank hits, while also giving her a better Attack and manageable Speed stat. With +DEF -HP IVs, Florina ends up with 39/52/34/36/41 in melee combat. She can run Renewal in her seal slot to counteract the recoil damage from Fury, however, Guard may prove to be more effective for her niche.
Guard 2 can be inherited from a four star unit and is sufficient enough to suit her needs, as it can allow her to mitigate the effects of Bold and Vengeful Fighter skills on her armored opponents. Quick Riposte can therefore be utilized in her Seal Slot so that she can double faster armors in her Enemy Phase.

Florina’s largest weakness is that her neutral stats don’t allow her to play to her strengths without heavy investment. A high Resistance stat is only suitable against manaketes or if the user has Distant Counter. Giving Florina such a high value skill may seem like a waste, but it allows her to be one of the best available mage counters.
With an effective Resistance stat of 46 (49 with Boon) when attacked by a ranged unit, Florina takes virtually no damage from most sources of magic and can even withstand being attacked by green mages or manaketes. When combined with a Special skill such as Iceberg or Glacies, Florina’s mediocre Attack stat is suddenly a force to be reckoned with and she’s capable of killing many units on retaliation. For this reason, Speed is chosen as her bane, as it ensures that she will be doubled by all but the slowest units, which guarantees an Iceberg proc.
Quick Riposte is her ideal B slot, though you can also run it in her Seal slot if you favor Guard over the Distant Def or Ploy Seals. Guard helps Florina to mitigate some of the potentially-lethal Special activations, particularly from armored mages who have access to Bold and Vengeful Fighter.
If she’s running as a standalone unit, Def Ploy helps to patch up her poor Attack markedly well, as it’s extremely likely that she’ll be able to activate it when baiting an enemy during Enemy Phase given that her neutral Resistance will be 38 with this build, 41 with a Boon in Resistance.
If you don’t have Distant Counter to invest, or if you don’t want to invest it in her, then this build loses most of its potency and you may want to consider a different weapon and skillset entirely; however, Fury or Water Boost can both help to recapture some of her effectiveness, and still allows her to deal with manaketes appropriately or bait mages without counterattacking.
Introduction
Despite her tendency toward Speed in her previous iteration, Florina in Fire Emblem Heroes sports an unfortunately low Speed stat, with poor Attack and Defense stats to match. The only areas in which she is above-average is her Resistance and arguably her HP.
While this can be disappointing for her fans, there are definitely ways to build Florina to be lethal, though it often means either sacrificing a Hector for Distant Counter or using her for a niche counter to armor units, where Florina's Lance can overcome the stat differential by giving her an additional +4 to every stat.
Strengths
Availability
Florina can easily be found at three and four stars, meaning that she is likely already in your barracks.
This means that there is generally no shortage of IV options to choose from.
Good Niche
Florina trades her below-average Attack, Speed, and Defense for a markedly high Resistance stat, making her fantastic at dueling manaketes and mage units.
Her prf, Florina's Lance, further increases her viability against armors by increasing all stats by 4 during an Enemy Phase melee engagement while retaining effectiveness vs armors. This makes her a great choice for an Arena Assault armor killer.
Weaknesses
Poor Stat Spread
Of course, her Attack, Speed, and Defense suffer for her high Resistance
Despite her poorer statline, she doesn’t have any stats that are absolutely unredeemable, and with a full investment, her Attack, Speed, and Defense could all be singularly workable
Poor Skill Options
Florina’s base kit does not synergize well with her stat spread, and she cannot inherit skills that would truly make her shine, such as Warding Breath or Null Follow-Up.
Furthermore, Florina's Lance only works at melee range, making her unable to utilize its effects when running Distant Counter to take advantage of her high Resistance stat.
Team Options
Counters
Due to her poor Defense and Speed, Florina is easily countered.
- High Defense: Florina will be unable to puncture high Defense units without the effectiveness of her Spear, particularly blue and green units, meaning that Lukas, Fae, Myrrh, and Spring Xander will prove too bulky for her.
- Physical greens: She will crumble immediately to axe units, such as Hector, Raven, Bartre, or Spring Alfonse.
- Flier weaknesses: Bow units like Bridal Cordelia, Brave Lyn, and Leon are all dangerous to her, though she is not as threatened by Merric as many of the other blue fliers are.

Florina's only good stat is res. So lets make it go as high as possible. You get +6 from fortify fliers putting her at 43 res. Ward Fliers gives her 4 more res putting her at 47. Summoner support 49 res. Ally support 51 res. Drive res gives her 54 res. spur res seal +4 58 res. spur res skill +4 62. +10 merged 66 res. distant def seal gives +6 putting her at an alarming 72. Berkuts Lance+ gives her +4 giving her 76 RES! This isn't okay.

I pulled so many Florinas that I decided to make a her into a half-decent unit using whatever Skill fodder I had laying around and she's surprisingly good. This build primarily uses her as a mage bait/tank with her high Res at 42 and 48 with Fortify Fliers. Going with a -Spd bane and Brave Lance increases her chance of getting doubled helping Florina charge her special. Using Quickened Pulse and tanking two hits from a mage puts her at a 1 Special charge and lets her activate Glacies with Brave Lance on the next player turn for massive damage.

Fuck Reinhardt but Blue. The main reason I chose Florina over Jagen, the more commonly used Berkuts Lance user (common being relative) is because of her superior attack and HP. Her HP allows her to tank more, and the 2 extra points in attack allow her to run a Res Boon instead of an attack boon. She doesn’t hit that hard, but Iceberg helps to make up for that, especially with flier buffs. Oh yeah; she doesn’t need QP+Sacred Cowl to survive moonbow Rein, allowing her to run distant def seal for better overall tanking. Once again; Fuck Reinhardt. (Oh yeah this build is mega expensive like the Beruka and Felicia builds.)
This Build can tank (not including buffs) a LV 40+10 QP moonbow Death blow Reinhardt, a Lv 40+10 +Spd -Def Gronnblade Nino w/ fury, and a LV 40+10 +Spd -Def Gronnblade Death blow Cecilia will a fortify cavalry on her. And she does all of this while unmerged! Jebus, she’s strong. She can even tank a S Summoner support, Fury 3, +Spd -Def +10 Linde with Blarblade+ and +3 to all stats, and kill in return!

So yeah Distant Counter, yeah I scrapped a hector for her and it was well worth it. So let me explain why i put Distant Counter on her and not something like Fury 3 or Life and Death 3 (both of which are just fine I actually gave her Fury 3 for when shes not on a flier team). She is a mage killer and since mages are only ranged attackers distant counter helps me defeat them very easily.
For the B slot i went with Lancebreaker 3 to help cover blue lances on top of the mage check so now she can kill most anything, save axe units, with ease.
And for the C slot i went with Breath of Life 3 since my flier team has no healer that becomes her role. Also if you have it the Breath of Life seal allows her to heal 10 HP to surrounding units after combat. This is useful because she will be getting buffed by others and she can help them stay alive. When not on a flier team I run her with Threaten Def 3 just to give her that extra boost to ATK.
As for the weapon I needed her to have more ATK power and the Sliver Lance+ is the best with 15MT. If thats not available the killer or sapphire lance works really well too.
For the Support skill I gave her Ardent Sacrifice to help with healing and paired with Breath of Life works quite nicely. If thats not what you would want Reposition, Draw Back or Swap could also work well for her.
For her special I put Glacies on her since she needs as much power as she can get and if you have a Quickened Pulse seal thats even better. Even if you dont have quickened pulse still put Glacies on her since her RES is so high its worth the extra turn that you have to wait.
Overall I really like Florina definitely not the strongest but not the weakest. Shes average but given the right skills can make her a formidable foe. Just a final tip for Florina make sure you have one that is + ATK and not -SPD. this is vital because a +ATK helps her deal enough damage and the SPD is critical so she doesn't get doubled because if she does shes probably not going to survive 24 is too low but 27 is salvageable.
