Legendary Lucina

• Preferred IV: +SPD or ATK / -DEF or -RES

• Weapon: Thögn

• Assist: Future Vision

• Special: Moonbow / Luna

• Passive A: Swift Sparrow / Fury / Life and Death

• Passive B: Desperation / Atk/Def Link / Chill Spd

• Passive C: Even Spd Wave / Odd Atk Wave / Distant Guard

• Sacred Seal: Flashing Blade / Speed +3 / Attack +3

Legendary Lucina’s stats and weapon lend her to be a very offensive Player Phase archer, and this set is focused on capitalizing on that.

Lucina will want to be doubling units basically every time she is attacking, so Speed is the preferred choice of boon. An Attack boon will work nicely as well though. Defense or Resistance can be taken as the bane.

Thögn is a very interesting weapon that works perfectly with Legendary Lucina’s offensive statline. Giving a passive +3 Speed and granting an additional +4 to all stats when initiating on sword, lance, axe, and dragon units is huge. When combined with a Speed boon and Speed increasing skills, Lucina will be doubling almost any melee unit in the game. While the boost in Attack from Thögn is obviously appreciated as well, the boost Lucina will be receiving in Def and Res will come in handy when initiating on Distant Counter units and dragons that can counterattack and deal some serious damage to Lucina.

Future Vision is a wonderful new Assist skill exclusive to Legendary Lucina. It allows Lucina to swap into a teammate and then move again, functioning as a sort of self-pseudo dancer/singer. If running a dancer or singer on the team, Lucina can actually use Future Vision, move again, and then have a dancer or singer use their Assist on her, allowing Lucina to move three times in one turn. In terms of Assist skills with great utility, Future Vision definitely stands out as a very solid choice.

Moonbow can be taken as the Special and can be activated every turn provided Lucina is running the Flashing Blade seal. Luna is another decent option if one prefers the increased damage and doesn’t mind the higher cooldown, or if an Infantry Pulse teammate is being used.

Swift Sparrow is a great choice for the A slot, and Lucina comes with it! Fury is a decent choice as well, giving Lucina increased bulk to help her survive any enemy counter attacks while providing chip damage that helps put her into Desperation range. Life and Death will provide marginally higher Attack and Speed at the cost of significant bulk loss. The big issue with Life and Death is how it affects Lucina’s abilities to tank units that can counterattack her.

Desperation is a great choice for Lucina, as her massive Speed will allow her to guarantee doubles on the vast majority of units. When combined with the Flashing Blade seal, Lucina will be able to activate twice instantly and activate Moonbow on the second hit each combat, making for a potentially devastating combo. The somewhat difficult part is getting Lucina into Desperation range; this can be achieved via a teammate using Reciprocal Aid, post-combat Fury damage, or just having Lucina tank a hit. Atk/Def Link is another interesting option, synergizing well with Future Vision. Chill Speed is another decent albeit expensive option, and the extra Speed may be a bit overkill.

Even Spd Wave is a solid option for Lucina, allowing her to maximize her chances of doubling enemies (every other turn at least). If Lucina is already receiving Speed buffs or Even Spd Wave is not available, then Odd Atk Wave is a great choice as well. One should note that Odd Atk Wave and Atk/Def Link will not stack Attack, so even though Atk/Def Link will still be useful on Even turns, it is essentially going to some waste on Odd turns if Lucina is using Future Vision. Otherwise, Lucina’s default Distant Guard is a great C skill that her teammates will no doubt appreciate.

The Flashing Blade seal is a great choice that will activate nearly every time Lucina attacks given the massive Speed she will be hitting. If Flashing Blade is not available or Lucina has a Speed Bane, Speed +3 can be taken instead to help patch it if needed.

• Preferred IV: +SPD / -DEF or -RES

• Weapon: Firesweep Bow+

• Assist: Future Vision

• Special: Moonbow / Luna

• Passive A: Life and Death / Swift Sparrow

• Passive B: Chill Spd / Swordbreaker

• Passive C: Spd Smoke / Def Smoke / Even Spd Wave / Distant Guard

• Sacred Seal: Speed +3 / Flashing Blade / Quickened Pulse

The standard Firesweep Bow set that Legendary Lucina can run quite efficiently.

Despite not being able to match the 35/35 offenses of Bridal Cordelia and Summer Takumi nor having the capabilities of being able to effectively run Ploy skills such as Innes, Lucina stands out in her own way with a Firesweep build thanks to her Assist skill Future Vision. Lucina is capable of swapping into a unit and then attacking an enemy, something other archers cannot do. The fact that Lucina is a blue archer also helps her damage output significantly with common red threats.

Future Vision can be kept for the same reasons stated above; it’s a great skill that gives Lucina more flexibility in her map movement, and being able to take another turn without the aid of a dancer or singer is huge.

Moonbow is the preferred choice of Special due to its low cooldown, but Luna is another decent option.

As Lucina shouldn’t be getting attacked anyways with this set, it’s fine to take Life and Death as the A slot for the little bit of extra Attack and Speed. Life and Death is not necessary though, and Lucina’s default Swift Sparrow will still work great as well.

Chill Spd will work wonderfully to help Lucina double pesky high Speed enemies. Those high Speed enemies are often sword units as well, who Lucina happens to have a color advantage over! If Chill Spd is not available a simple Swordbreaker can be taken instead to guarantee doubles against those high Speed swords.

Spd Smoke is a great choice for the C slot and will work particularly well if Lucina is being run with a dancer, allowing her to attack an enemy and then attack the enemy’s nearby debuffed teammates. Def Smoke is a good option as well. Even Spd Wave is a decent choice like in the previous build but is by no means necessary.

As Lucina will not be receiving the effects from Thögn with this set, Speed +3 can be run as the seal to help compensate. However, Flashing Blade is still a great choice as Lucina will still be fast enough to double the majority of units. Quickened Pulse is another decent option as well.

• Preferred IV: +ATK / -DEF or -RES

• Weapon: Brave Bow+

• Assist: Future Vision

• Special: Moonbow / Luna

• Passive A: Swift Sparrow / Death Blow / Life and Death

• Passive B: Chill Def / Atk/Def Link / Swordbreaker

• Passive C: Odd Atk Wave / Distant Guard

• Sacred Seal: Attack +3 / Quickened Pulse

Legendary Lucina can also run a Brave Bow set to decent effect if one desires to do so.

An Attack boon will be wanted to maximize Lucina’s damage output. As per usual Defense or Resistance are serviceable banes.

Like with the Firesweep build, Lucina’s access to Future Vision and the fact that she is a blue archer is what allows her to stand apart from other offensive archers with similar stats that run similar builds.

Moonbow is a decent choice of Special. Luna is another decent option but as Lucina will not be able to very effectively run the Heavy Blade or Flashing Blade seal due to Brave Bow’s low mt and the Speed penalty, higher cooldown Specials probably should not be run unless Quickened Pulse is used.

Swift Sparrow or Life and Death can be used to try to preserve Lucina’s quadding abilities. Otherwise, Death Blow is a good option for pure damage.

Chill Def is a great option, essentially allowing Lucina to deal 14 more damage to any unit it affects. Atk/Def Link is a solid option as well. Swordbreaker can be taken as a more budget option.

Odd Atk Wave will significantly increase Lucina’s damage output. Keep in mind that Odd Atk Wave will not stack with Atk/Def Link, so only one of the two should ideally be taken.

Attack +3 should be taken for the seal slot to maximize damage output if Quickened Pulse is not taken instead to allow for an instant Moonbow proc/allow Luna to activate more quickly.
