Similar to bulky archers like Leon and Gordin, New Year Corrin's mediocre Speed makes it very difficult to run traditional speedy Firesweep and Brave sets. His standout Defense, however, makes him a stellar unit when it comes to becoming an Enemy Phase tank when paired with the proper skills. His native Hama Ya has outstanding supportive capabilities acting as a dual defensive Drive, but pales in comparison to the accelerated Special cooldown Slaying Bow offers.
Due to his mediocre Attack stat of 32, a majority of Corrin's damage is derived from his Special. Choosing a Special that scales off of Corrin's fantastic Defense in combination with the reduced cooldown of Slaying Bow greatly improves his subpar damage output. A three-turn Ignis guarantees Corrin to land a huge hit when getting doubled, assuming he survives, but Bonfire acts as a safer option with its two-turn charge.
For Passive Skills, Close Counter combined with Quick Riposte makes Corrin an incredible bruiser, threatening even melee opponents as his great Defense allows him to survive close combat. Because of Close Counter's 5 star availability, a more budget-friendly option would be Fury, giving Corrin a boost in stats all around the board. Quick Riposte as his B patches up almost all of Corrin's Speed problems when getting engaged on as it gives him a guaranteed follow-up hit. If you choose to put Quick Riposte as his Sacred Seal, Vantage, Guard, or a Breaker skill all are good alternatives, giving Corrin an even better Enemy Phase.
C Slots are always flexible, picking a Threaten skill like Threaten Def or Threaten Atk improves his counter-attacking playstyle tremendously as it makes him hit harder or survive lethal hits. Lastly, any defensive Sacred Seal rounds out this build quite nicely. If you are planning on dueling melee units a majority of the time, Close Def gives Corrin a solid +6 boost to his Defense and Resistance when engaged upon from up close.

- Passive C: Threaten Def / Threaten Atk / Flexible
- Sacred Seal: Attack +3 / Quickened Pulse
Due to Corrin's middling Speed and Attack, he has trouble running standard offensive sets to their fullest. However, he can still run a decent Brave Bow set similar to Leon and Gordin. With Brave Bow, Corrin almost has unsalvageable Speed and must make the first two hits of Brave Bow to count in order to have any bit of offensive presence. To better ramp his damage, he can run a combination of Quickened Pulse and Moonbow to guarantee a Special proc on his first initiation. However, both Ignis and Bonfire offer better damage thanks to his still fantastic Defense.
Death Blow as his Passive A, gives him a much-needed boost in damage on initiation, essentially giving him an extra 12 damage. Again, Fury can be run as a budget option, giving Corrin a smaller boost in his offenses, but also significantly increasing his defenses. His B slot should be used to swing potentially dangerous matchups into his favor, most notably a Breaker skill for the class of unit he will be primarily fighting. Cancel Affinity should only be used if you desperately need a counter for Raven mages, but otherwise, stick to either a Breaker skill or the standard Vantage.
Nothing changes with the C slot compared to the previous build, as Threaten Skills are always a safe option that work with almost every team comp. For Sacred Seals, either Quickened Pulse to rush out a Moonbow or a generic Attack +3 to ramp his middling Attack.
Introduction
After what seemed like an eternity of waiting for his release, New Year Corrin is finally released as a Tempest Trials reward unit meaning no IVs and no merging. While this does limit his overall potential, New Year Corrin is still quite a unique archer that deviates from the traditional high Attack and Speed offensive monsters we've seen previously. His stat spread is most comparable to Leon, both having good Attack and Defense, mediocre Speed, and terrible Resistance. This means standard archer kits like Quad Brave and Firesweep aren't compatible with his base kit.
Along with Corrin comes his native bow, Hama Ya, which grants Def/Res+2 during combat to allies within 2 spaces, essentially Drive Def/Res. While useful in its own right, the strength of the Hama Ya is still outshone by weapons like Slaying and Guard bows, especially for defensive archers like Corrin. Overall, New Year Corrin is a mediocre to decent defensive archer, but hey, at least he's free.
Strengths
Good physical bulk for a ranged unit
While Corrin's middling 37 HP is less than desirable, his phenomenal 34 Def gives his physical bulk a much needed boost.
Fairly good Atk makes for powerful counterattacks
Corrin's base 32 Atk pairs nicely with EP skills like Quick Riposte and Slaying Bow.
Ease of access
Since he's given as a 5 star TT reward, getting your hands on a New Year Corrin is a minimal investment.
Weaknesses
Terrible Res and middling Spd
The combination of these two make Corrin extremely vulnerable to magic users as he is prone to getting doubled without support.
Limited merging and IV
As he is a TT reward unit, New Year Corrin unfortunately cannot receive beneficial IVs or be merged above +1 which severely limits his potential.
Counters
As previously stated, Corrin has an incredibly tough time dealing with offensive mages due to his middling Speed and terrible Resistance. Keep him away from dragons as well since his 32 Attack, while decent, isn't enough to penetrate the insane amount of Defense most dragons have. Corrin also has trouble against defensive armored units that can shrug off most of his damage with their increased based stats.
- Powerful Offensive Mages: Linde, Nino, and other glass-cannon tome users will shred through Corrin's poor Speed and Resistance almost instantly.
- Raven Tomes: Sophia, Male Robin, Boey, and tanky Raven tome mages can wall off Corrin due to their Weapon Triangle advantage. Without Cancel Affinity, Corrin is hopeless against these tanky mages.
- Dragons: Young Tiki, Nowi, Fae, and other dragons - can absorb most of Corrin's punishment due to their high physical bulk before hitting him with an incredibly powerful Lightning Breath counterattack.
- Physically Bulky Units: Hector, Zelgius, Effie, and defensive armored units - will also tank almost all of Corrin's damage and will retaliate with their huge Attack stat.

|---|---|---|---|

Rally Def/Res | B | Cancel Affinity 3 |
|
Ignis | C | Threaten Spd 3 |
| S | Distant Def 3 | ||
With the triple Distant Defense 3 he is able to reach 52 defense and
36 resistance and with Cancel Affinity 3 he is able to block the raven tome user like Robin male etc... (you can use Quick riposte 3 instead of Cancel Affinity to make more damage but with the Cancel Affinity you can
easy save him from the Raven tome users which are dangerous for him) with Ignis he can make a really good damage output and enemies which came to close to him will lose 5 speed so Corrin can often make follow-up-strikes or block enemies follow-up-strikes with an speed up to 39 speed. With an Healer in the same team you can make NW! Corrin to an distance wall which is really hard to break through.

Guard Bow+ (+Def) | A | Close Counter |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Reposition | B | Quick Riposte 3 |
|
Ignis | C | Threaten Def 3 |
| S | Distant Def 3 | ||
Guard Bow+ (+Def) makes him almost immune to damage from all non-magic users.
Reposition is a standard positioning skill
Ignis helps burst tankier targets quicker than Bonfire usually can
As a very tanky unit (defensive wise) Close Counter enables easy match-ups against anything (besides dragons)
Quick Riposte is another staple for enemy phase builds
Threaten Defense is useful as he will most likely be in range of all melee targets
Distant Defense Seal to help against mages and other bow/dagger users

Guard Bow+ (+Res) | A | Distant Def 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Rally Def/Res | B | Quick Riposte 3 |
|
Bonfire | C | Spur Def/Res 2 |
| S | Distant Def 3 | ||
To fix Corrin's terrible resistance stat, Guard bow and two Distant Defenses (1 in A slot passive and 1 as a sacred seal) can bump up his pitiful 18 res to a nice 36. (39 with Guard Bow+res) Corrin already has a nice defense stat and distant defense only makes it better. And to make him into an even better enemy phase unit, Quick reposte will allow him to proc Bonfire, or have it ready for the next fight. (Depends on if corrin get's doubled or not.) His C passive skill can be anything you want it to be, I just believe his default is great as it is. His assist skill can also be flexible.

Rally Def/Res | B | Watersweep 3 |

This build is to help Corrin fight other ranged units and while slowly chipping at thier health. And when his bonfire is ready for use, it may be lethal to common mages.

When all else fails, tell them they can't deal damage to you.
This is a rather high expense build, but it comes at the expense of your foes when they try to attack Corrin. It capitalizes on his already high defense to turn him into a counter-attack god (against physical enemies).
Guard Bow+ (+Def) gives him that extra umph of ranged defense to prevent bows and daggers from being much of, if any, threat to him.
His support skill is flexible. Reposition is just a good skill to have on archers.
Bonfire can be interchanged with Ignis, Sol, Noontime, or Aether depending on personal preference.
Close counter is where things really get interesting. The only two heroes to utilize this passive, aren't exactly the best at utilizing it. It's an extremely rare passive to come by, which is what makes this build high expense, but its functionality on New Year Corrin just can't be denied. Now pair it with Close Def SS and he becomes scarily powerful.
Quick Riposte is an obvious choice. One could switch it out for a breaker passive if they so desired, but as a part of this build, Quick Riposte just works best.
Threaten Atk is where this build differs from most. Most would go for Threaten Def or something to help Corrin deal more damage, but see, I don't care about damage. I care about that Ryoma or Ike that will still find a way to hurt me.
Close Def SS to top it all off, and he becomes the king of counter. Nothing can kill him at range. Nothing can kill him up close, and anything that tries will get a face full of Quick Riposte and Bonfire.
Magic is still a bit of problem for him, but whatever. He isn't built to counter mages so don't look at me.
