Boons
- +ATK: Having the third-lowest Attack stat in the game, Henry desperately needs any possible Attack buff in order to increase his raw damage output. Although 26 base Attack with a boon is still relatively low, it is much more workable when accounting for team support.
- +DEF: A Defense boon helps boost the power of Henry’s Bonfire/Ignis activation, which will often be Henry’s main source of damage; it also has the added bonus of building upon his already impressive physical bulk.
Neutral
- HP: To avoid damaging Henry’s physical bulk, it is recommended to leave his HP untouched.
- RES: Raising Henry’s Resistance is not a priority, but to avoid damaging any potential match-ups against mages, it is best to leave his Resistance alone and rely on team support to solidify such match-ups.
Banes
- -SPD: Henry’s Speed stat is incredibly low and is rarely a factor in determining the outcomes of his match-ups, making it his ideal bane as lowering it brings no considerable change.

- Passive B: Quick Riposte 3 / Quick Riposte 2 / Guard
- Passive C: Atk Smoke / Flexible
- Sacred Seal: Close Defense / Distant Def / Quick Riposte
Although outshined offensively by every other red mage in the game, Henry can perform rather well when delegated to the role of an Enemy Phase tank. What truly allows him to shine is a very potent combination of Rauðrowl, Close Counter, and Quick Riposte, granting him the ability to put his physical bulk to use against melee opponents. However, in order for this build to reach maximum potency, Henry must be extremely reliant on team buffs/support.
For the purposes of this build, Henry’s most desirable IV is a Defense boon, bolstering his already solid physical bulk and gives more power to his Special. His bulk can be further amplified by the aforementioned Rauðrowl tome, giving him a +6 boost to all his stats when surrounded by three adjacent allies; these are also in-combat buffs, meaning that he can further abuse his teammates’ C slot to maximize his offensive effectiveness. This serves the purpose of patching up his offensive spread while also increasing his mixed bulk.
Bonfire or Ignis can be used interchangeably as his Special, with the key difference between the two being the time of their activation. Assuming that he is doubled, Bonfire will activate in each combat while Ignis will activate in every other. However, due to Henry’s naturally low damage output, Ignis will be the preferred option due to its considerably greater damage output increase.
Quick Riposte is a pivotal part of this build as it ensures that Henry doubles in the Enemy Phase, thus inflicting more damage while also charging his Special faster. Using it in his B slot allows for his seal to be occupied by either Close Def or Distant Def, though the choice of which is match-up dependent. On the other hand, using Quick Riposte as a seal allows him to make use of Guard, which lets him bait the prominent threat of Bold Fighter armors without worry of their Special activating.
As for Henry’s C slot, Atk Smoke is perfect for situations in which Henry has to bait multiple opponents at once, crippling any further enemy engagements. Otherwise, Henry’s C slot is flexible and can be used to fit the rest of his team’s needs.

- Special: Ignis / Bonfire
- Passive A: Triangle Adept
- Passive B: Bowbreaker / Axebreaker / G Tomebreaker
- Passive C: Hone Spd / Flexible
- Sacred Seal: Distant Def / Defense +3
One way to circumvent Henry’s horrid Attack stat is to rely on color advantage to be the main source of his damage output as opposed to relying entirely on his Special proc. This set, albeit old-fashioned, is tried-and-true, revolving around the common pairing of Rauðraven and Triangle Adept. Now a specialist, Henry can serve as a dedicated check against both green and colorless foes.
For his Special, Ignis and Bonfire are again great options with the choice between the two boiling down to whether one prefers greater damage output increase or shorter cooldown. Henry’s B slot is flexible but is best filled by a Breaker skill, as such skills will allow him to bypass his low Speed and specialize further. The choice of which one, however, depends on the type of unit that his team has the most trouble facing. Bowbreaker will often serve the purpose of making sure Henry does not get hit hard by Brave Lyns, especially those who run Brave Bow, while Axebreaker grants him an easier time in killing axe users. Henry’s native G Tomebreaker, while generally having less utility than the other listed options, is still a perfectly viable option and works great as a cheap alternative.
As for his seal, Distant Def gives Henry more ranged protection during the Enemy Phase and is imperative in solidifying Henry’s matchups against mages. Defense +3 is also a decent option on Henry as it builds upon his physical bulk while also strengthening Defense scaling Specials.
Introduction
Henry, Twisted Mind is an incredibly niche unit, possessing one of the most lopsided stat spreads in the game. Sporting horrid Attack and Speed, this red mage falls extremely flat offensively when compared to the rest of the red mages in the game. However, he does have a silver lining - his physical bulk. Tied only to Winter Tharja, Henry has an impressive 77 physical bulk at neutral, which opens him up to several choices for a weapon such as the above-listed Rauðrowl.
With such bulk, he is quite adept at dealing with physical attackers, but due to his stat spread, he can barely scratch opponents without the use of his Special. In addition, his stat spread shoehorns him into using an Enemy Phase build and limits his flexibility as a unit. As a result, Henry’s teammates are severely limited as well since their builds must revolve around supporting him and covering his weaknesses.
Despite his many shortcomings, Henry can prove to be a serviceable unit, finding a niche as a rather formidable Enemy Phase unit. But in order for him to reach this potential, Henry demands a high amount of investment in order to barely be comparable to other red mages. As such, unless one is willing to go to extreme lengths to build him, Henry is best off being used as a simple green and colorless counter, or as Skill Inheritance fodder for other units.
Strengths
High Physical Bulk
This is Henry’s most important strength and is one of the key differentiators between him and other red mages. With enough support, he can be an effective wall against physical opponents with few being able to dent the red mage.
High Availability
Henry is a unit readily available in the 3-4* pool, which means finding a perfect IV set for him is considerably easier than those at a higher rarity. This also makes merging him much easier, and as a unit with lackluster stats, these merges can often go a long way in improving his overall performance.
Weaknesses
Horrible Offensive Spread
Possessing the third lowest Attack stat in the game AND an incredibly low Speed stat to boot, Henry’s offensive spread leaves much to be desired. Without having his Special active or possessing Weapon Triangle advantage, Henry ends up becoming more of a hindrance to his team rather than an asset as he struggles to land lethal hits on almost every single unit currently in the game.
Requires Intensive Team Support
Aside from his own skills, Henry’s success is contingent on receiving a high amount of team support and is a requirement to do the slightest modicum of damage. This will often result in Henry being the core that the rest of his team revolves around and limits their own flexibility in terms of the roles they play aside from support/utility.
Team Options
Counters
Any capable blue unit should be able to smite the Plegian to oblivion with a single encounter. Magically tanky Enemy Phase blues are particularly effective and exploit Henry’s exceptionally poor Player Phase. Strong and fast reds can also be a counter to Henry and use his low Speed to their advantage; even with his strong defensive capabilities, these types of units can kill the mage with ease due to their superior offenses. That being said, debuffers also hurt him immensely as they essentially neutralize the team support given to him, and revert Henry back to his normal, subpar self.
- Magically Tanky Blues: By merit of having color advantage, blues, in general, have an extremely easy time in combat against him. Those who specialize in the Enemy Phase are especially adept at killing him, exploiting his incredibly weak Player Phase to their advantage. Units like Fjorm, Micaiah, and Nowi are great examples of this and render Henry a non-issue.
- Strong and Fast Reds: Heroes like Tiki (Young), Eirika (SM), and Ayra who are able to hit hard and consistently double him should have little to no issue in their match-ups against him.
- Debuffers: As a unit, Henry is incredibly reliant on team support to function properly. As such, using debuffers, like Morgan (M), Jaffar, and Gaius, who counteract such support serve as great counters to him.

this is moreso a chip damage build i thought worked well.
it especially works well when supported but a +Res Hector.
Henry just sits behind Hector, shooting out chip damage and (hopefully timing Ignis right) for bulkier red and green unit kills
also works pretty well on colourless units as well.

Rauðrraven+ | A | Close Counter |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Swap | B | Poison Strike 3 |
|
Ignis | C | Breath of Life 3 |
This build is to make Henry a human shield. He still has his default weapon, the Rauorraven+, and his default special, Ignis. His weapon is flexible, so you can change it if you want, but Ignis is needed. Henry has low attack power, so he needs a special that can do a lot of damage. His support skill is swap, which is where the "Human Shield" comes into play. He still has low attack, but his defense is OP, when not fighting blue units. Swap let's him protect allies who can attack more, but have low defense, such as Lilina. This works even more so in combination with close counter, which lets him counter melee users, and with Poison Strike which deals a set amount of damage after attacking regaurdless of Henry's offense and enemy's defense. If Henry initiates combat adjacent to an ally, Breath of Life should heal them. In combination of these skills, here is Henry: Human Shield's strategy. When a blue or green unit is being attacked, use swap to protect them from melee damage, and let Henry get attacked. Poison strike and/or close counter should deal a considerable amount of damage. Use Henry to initiate combat when adjacent to the ally unit that was being attacked earlier, and when combat has ended, the ally should be healed. Keep attacking and letting Henry get attacked until Ignis is ready, and you can instantly kill almost anyone. And people say Henry is a bad character.

Rauðrraven+ | A | Earth Boost 3 |

|
Reposition | B | Quick Riposte 2 |
|
Bonfire | C | Threaten Atk 3 |
This build is designed to completely shut down 3 unit types. Sword units, Brave Bow/Default Archers, Dagger units, and Green units. The best IVs for the build are +Def -Spd, however you can run any ivs as long as your bane isnt -Def -HP or -Atk. This build is made to make Henry a super tanky monster reaching 35(-Def) 38(Neutral Def) 41 (+Def) Def if the enemy unit has 3 hp less than Henry. With this build henry can kill all Archers except for Niles, Innes, and +8 Brave Lyn. Henry takes much less damage especially on a defense tile, and is able to tank all common arena sword units, even without a defense tile. He also tanks and kills almost all Green Tome units, except for Julia, Sonya, and Soren. Sadly, he cannot survive a Nino with Eirika buffs, however, he can survive the likes of Lyn and Bridelia, and kills if they don't have firesweep. Due to the avalibility of Henry and his good base defense, he can be a very effective unit without too much effort, with Earth Boost 3 being avalible on 4* boey, Quick Riposte 2 on 4* Subaki, and Threaten Attack 3 from a 4* Hawkeye, he can be very strong on teams that don't have a dedicated check to these units.

Reposition | B | Bowbreaker 3 |
|
Ignis | C | Threaten Res 3 |
This Henry serves as a useful counter for most Lyn- Brave Lady builds, as he can be positioned to bait her during the first turn, and survive her attack to OHKO her in return. His low speed is actually a boon to him, as enduring more hits will simply help him charge Ignis. Reposition will help him to move his allies out of harm's way after Lyn has been dealt with if facing a highly mobile cavalry team, and with Triangle Adept 3, he can also serve as a sturdy shield against units such as Frederick, Cecilia, and Titania.

Rauðrraven+ | A | Triangle Adept 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Ardent Sacrifice | B | Renewal 3 |
|
Ignis | C | Threaten Res 3 |
This Henry build is ideal for a Tempest Trials team, or any sort of test of endurance- thanks to his high def and the boost from triangle adept, no grey or green units will do more than minimal damage to Henry, and thanks to his poor speed, they will often double him, charging ignis more quickly so he can OHKO on his turn. This build allows him to act as a wall or a healer as needed, using ardent sacrifice and renewal to refresh his more fragile allies. For best results, pair him with a dancer unit to maximize the potential of his diverse roles on the team.
