Lilina

Merge: +1
Seal: Attack +3

Player Phase One-Shot Nuker Lilina

Forblaze (Eff refined)(Weapon)
Effectively Lillina's strongest weapon. It has built-in Chill Res 3, which allows her to leave a dent even against some Blue units. Upon refining, it gains the devastating Death Blow 3 effect. Couple this with the Death Blow 3 A-Slot skill grants her a whooping Atk+12 when she initiates combat.

Odd Atk Wave 3 pushes her one-shot potential even further.

Reposition (Assist)
Very self-explanatory.

Glimmer / Draconic Aura (Special)
Lilina benefits from either Special and doesn't really need it for her to be good. She IS good already. Both Specials gives her additional nuking power which already screams overkill, especially with double Death Blow.

Death Blow 3 (A-Slot)
The ideal skill of choice that pairs really well with her personal tome, Forblaze. This ramps up her nuking potential even better.

Swordbreaker 3 (B-Slot)
In the current meta, Sword units prove their dominance. This allows Lilina to bypass Speed check by simply having this skill equipped.

Odd Atk Wave 3 (C-Slot)
This grants Lilina, yet, another Atk+6 on odd-numbered turns. Not only this benefits herself, but she can also benefit adjacent allies, giving them a much needed boost in killing power.

Attack +3 (Sacred Seal)
Very self-explanatory.

-----

Pros:
+ Amazing personal weapon with excellent primary and refining effects
+ Naturally having the highest Attack stat, tied with Sanaki, of all mages in the game
+ Very flexible to build

Cons:
- Has below average Speed, thus she will get doubled a lot of the time without Breaker skills
- Has mediocre Def; even powerful Green physical bruisers, like Raven, can take her out just as easily
- Following that, a lot of her targets will most likely have Distant Counter on them (especially during Arena Assault)
- Good against majority of non-Blue units, but Blue units themselves
- Requires tons of investment to be excellent as her base kit is rather lackluster to begin with

Standard set. Essentially all you are doing is making her Atk as high as possible so she can just nuke everyone and everything.

Drive Res helps her teammates during fights against mages.

Swordbreaker just helps her a bit more against Swords.

Forblaze provides built-in Chill Res 3 and gaining Death blow 3 with it's unique refinement, allowing Lilina to deal a great deal of damage on the foe with the highest res, and to further boost her firepower, running Death blow on her A slot along with having the new skill Odd Attack Wave 3 grants +18 attack on odd number of turns and effectively +25 attack on the foe inflicted by Forblaze's Chill Res 3.

Chill Atk 3 will benefit the rest of her team and allows her to tank hits assuming they're magic-based.

Forblaze! Out of Nowhere!:

This set is meant mainly for defensive teams and grand conquests. The premise of this build is quite simple- get an ally under the 50% threshold and let Lilina melt their foe's face off with Forblaze. Not many units can survive a 69-75 magical attack (not including her Chill Res effect) and live to tell the tale. If you manage to charge her special, you get to weapon triangle-defying territory.

For defensive teams, Lilina works best with Guidance users or blue cavaliers with good defense (like Clive) who can rush the opponent and get beaten to a pulp. Lilina can then warp to their aid and ruin an unlucky player's day. Hardy Bearing can be taken into consideration in order to allow Lilina to avoid any Vantage shenanigans. Put Spur Attack on Lilina's allies for added enjoyment.

This Lilina build solely focuses on Lilina's Res, while also being good at mage killing thanks to her wonderful 37 atk base. It might be a tad silly to put a res refine on Forblaze, but that's the optimal weapon she has that benefits her defensively and offensively (Chill Res), until Rauðrserpent+ will appear on a unit (Distant Def 3 build into it + refinable) this is the most optimal one, if you also want to check ThE eNeMy quote lady, use Rauðrraven+, but if the quote lady uses a F Sweep bow.., then wait to strike at the right moment, she can't nullify your "weapon" advantage (Cancel Affinity only cancels TA), and hope for the name of Naga, you'll one "magic" her. Now onto the support skill, it's basically your choice, me personally I like Dual Rallies and scores good in Arena, so I have one. Since you'll reach Wry high of a Res stat, you'll definitely need Iceberg, but "Why not use Glacies if you can one shot literally everyone (but Oliver) with it? LUL", if you use Iceberg, and the enemy tome/staff/bow/dagger is faster then Lilina's astonishly bad spd stat (Spd- btw), and Lilina survives (be cautious of bows/daggers) then it's most likely, they'll die. Mirror Stance 2 is a fantastic A skill for mage tanks, since not only gives you res, but also atk, which helps killing some "ressy" blue mages, like Delthea or Lute. Quick Riposte 3 allows the "Iceberg massacre" to actually be a thing, god bless Subakis. Since you already have poop ton of res, why not Atk Ploy someone so Rein will cry himself to sleep because he deals 0x2 to you? The seal slot also helps a ton with it's 6+ def/res agaisnt bow/tome (I'll just call them 2 space-away attackers), so it's optimal to use it. Everything but in a nutshell is that this build is only focused on her enemy phase capability, and it does wonders. Ally recommendation Literally everyone with Drive Def/Res does wonders to Lilina's defensive capabilities, and also more Drive Res(ses) will make Lilina a monster in enemy phase, well, for 2 space-away attackers who can do magic. PA!Azura is a good teammate for Lilina, due to the Urðr buff she gives if she sings (or dances for you plebs). Now then, have fun killing Rein's out there!
