Linde

• Preferred IV: +SPD or +ATK / -RES
• Weapon: Aura (+Eff) 
• Assist: Reposition / Ardent Sacrifice
• Special: Glimmer / Moonbow / Draconic Aura
• Passive A: Fury / Swift Sparrow / Brazen Atk/Spd / Life and Death
• Passive B: Chill Spd / Desperation / Chill Res
• Passive C: Even Spd Wave / Hone Spd / Flexible
• Sacred Seal: Drive Atk / Speed +3 / Flashing Blade 

With the power of her newly refined Aura tome, Linde has now acquired the ability to be a fantastic support unit while still remaining a relatively fierce powerhouse in her own right. In addition to granting adjacent magic and staff allies with an impressive +6 buff to their Attack, Linde’s new refine also lets her gain a passive +5/+5 boost to her Attack and Speed, provided that she is within two spaces of such allies; this gives her great flexibility in the role that she can play in a team so long as she has a magic or staff ally alongside her. A boon in either her Attack or Speed stat can work here since, despite her newfound supportive capabilities, she is still an extremely capable combatant and appreciates any boost to her offenses. 

Any movement Assist like Reposition works fine here, but Ardent Sacrifice is also an option if using Desperation to immediately drop her into Desperation’s HP threshold without having to rely on her ability to tank a hit. Glimmer is a great choice of Special, possessing a low cooldown while also scaling decently with Linde’s typically high damage output. Moonbow can also be used to help against opponents with high Resistance stats. Draconic Aura offers the most destructive and consistent damage increase in exchange for longer cooldown. 

As for her A slot, Fury is a solid choice that increases her offenses while also strengthening her low bulk, thus increasing her chances of surviving a single hit. Alternatively, Swift Sparrow can also be taken to provide Linde with a stronger boost to her offensive potential, giving Linde a considerable +4 boost to her offenses without requiring any additional setup. If using Ardent Sacrifice, Brazen Atk/Spd and Life and Death also become viable, though expensive, options in order to maximize her offensive potential. 

Linde’s B slot is largely up to personal preference and depends on whether one wishes to focus either on her combat prowess or on her ability to support her allies. If the former, Desperation is her best option as it allows her to freely perform follow-up attacks without worry of retaliation. In contrast, Linde also has the option of running Chills in her B slot to improve both her and her allies’ overall performance. Chill Spd helps her team secure follow-up attacks against speedy opponents who may otherwise prove to be a nuisance while Chill Res helps increase her raw damage output, as well as that of fellow Resistance-targeting allies. 

Even Spd Wave is a fantastic choice to further build on her supportive capabilities, letting her potentially grant an adjacent magic or staff ally with a tremendous +6/+6 buff to their offensive stats while also bolstering her own offensive presence considerably. Although this buff is best utilized by Blade tome mages, any ally who receives the buff can use it to great effect to significantly boost their individual performance. Hone Spd is a decent alternative if on a budget but otherwise, Linde can run any buff that best suits her team’s needs. 

Her Seal slot is open to several different options with the Drive Atk seal being a good option to strengthen Linde's ability to support her team. The Flashing Blade seal can also be taken to increase her damage output through more frequent Special activations; given her high Speed stat and Aura’s refined effect, Linde will be able to activate Flashing Blade with relative ease. Otherwise, the Speed +3 Seal is always being a solid choice to improve her ability to perform and deny follow-up attacks. 

• Preferred IV: +SPD or +ATK / -RES
• Weapon: Blárblade+ 
• Assist: Reposition / Ardent Sacrifice
• Special: Glimmer / Draconic Aura 
• Passive A: Atk/Spd Solo / Swift Sparrow / Fury 
• Passive B: Desperation
• Passive C: Odd Atk Wave / Even Spd Wave / Flexible
• Sacred Seal: Speed +3 / Heavy Blade / Attack +3

This build ditches Linde’s personal tome and her ability to support her teammates in exchange for the ability to maximize her raw damage output through the use of the Blárblade tome; however, although this build does have the potential to have an extremely high offensive ceiling, Linde must be accompanied by allies who can provide her field buffs in order for this potential to be reached. A boon to either her Attack or Speed stat is again recommended to build upon her already strong offenses, though a Speed boon is generally the preferable option to enable her to perform follow-up attacks more reliably. 

Aside from the aforementioned Blárblade tome, another pivotal part of this build is Desperation, which lets her fire off successive, powerful hits against opponents without having to worry about being killed in retaliation. However, Linde’s low overall bulk can make reaching its HP threshold somewhat of a challenge, making Ardent Sacrifice a great choice for her Assist in order to safely drop her into the threshold itself. Otherwise, any movement Assist may be used. 

Glimmer makes for a fantastic Special on most Blade tome users with Linde being no exception. On top of having a relatively low cooldown, it also scales extremely well with the additional damage from Blárblade’s effect. Linde can also use Draconic Aura alongside the Heavy Blade Seal, effectively bypassing the Special’s otherwise high cooldown, for more consistent and powerful Special activations. Regardless of the Special chosen, however, both Specials become increasingly more powerful with the more field buffs applied to Linde. 

For her A slot, Atk/Spd Solo is her best option as it gives her the most favorable boost to her offenses without the need to forsake her bulk. Also, thanks to this build's offensive playstyle, Linde will typically be away from her allies anyways, rendering the skill's positioning requirement to rarely be a detriment. However, as it is a rare skill, Swift Sparrow may also be taken as it provides a similar improvement to her offensive presence on initiation. Linde also has the option of running Fury, which helps decrease her chances of being OHKO’d; this can be further supplemented by team buffs (which she should be receiving regardless due to the nature of Blárblade’s effect). Life and Death and Brazen Atk/Spd also become available options to her if running Ardent Sacrifice as her Assist. 

Odd Atk Wave and Even Spd Wave are two incredibly effective choices for her C slot, allowing her to be slightly more self-sufficient while also being able to provide her allies with a considerable boost to one of their offensive stats. If unavailable, any skill that suits her team’s needs can be used here. Aside from the Heavy Blade Seal, the Speed +3 and Attack +3 Seals are both good options to complement this build’s offensive playstyle.
