Olivia mostly desires to crush her opponents with her Armorslayer. This means her best boon boosts her otherwise middling attack stat. Olivia’s status as a Dancer makes her more flexible with IV sets, as she can do her primary job well regardless.
Boons
-
+ATK: With base 28 attack, boosting her attack is Olivia’s best choice for general combat.
-
+SPD: This lets her survive initiation from some mages such as Lute and unbuffed L’Arachel. Her second best option.
Neutral
-
HP: Olivia cuts it fine with some attacks (such as surviving Regnal Astra) so she prefers to keep her HP neutral. If you are going for Arena score, -HP is her best bane however.
-
DEF: Same as above. Olivia primarily tanks physical damage, so reducing this is not recommended.
Banes
- -RES: Easily her safest choice of bane. Olivia dies in one hit to many mages regardless, and it does not help her beat her targets of choice. However -Res gives her a reduction of four, lowering Olivia’s Arena score weight.

Sacred Seal: Quick Riposte / Attack+3
Her flagship set sees her equipped with abilities designed to KO common red and green armor seen within the Arena. Armorsmasher makes up for her poor base 28 attack, and with an attack boon and Fury she reaches a respectable 48. This set also maximises Olivia’s defense in order to help her survive strong attacks and one-shot builds from units such as Ayra.
Moonbow outperforms Glimmer due to Olivia’s relatively low base attack. She does not need the extra power from Glimmer to KO Armor due to a combination of Quick Riposte and Swordbreaker guaranteeing her to hit twice in combat. Her status as a Dancer means she has lower stats than most other units, making Fury a cheap and effective option to level the playing field.
With everything above, she’s capable of tanking and KO’ing nearly every red and green armor in the game, besides Brave Sword Arden. Because of this, a +Def refine is her best choice, bringing her physical bulk to 75 total and granting her a degree of relative safety on the field. Most notably, it lets Olivia tank and revenge kill Slaying Edge Ayra, an extremely dangerous Arena threat. Finally, your choice of C slot skill will be dependent on allies: Blade tome users will prefer a Hone buff, while most others want the Dual Spur.

Olivia can run an effective budget build which exacerbates her supportive potential over her combat potential. With the new refines, her default Silver Sword functions well as an all-around weapon giving her a defensive and offensive boost. Speed refine is chosen as she does not run Swordbreaker in favor of Wings of Mercy (Although Swordbreaker still works well). Geyser Dance is a more expensive option, but provides a hefty boost to allies and is great for Blade Tome users.
Just like her optimal build, Fury and Moonbow are her best bets. Fury gives her a much-needed stat boost and is her best choice even at level 2. Moonbow only just edges out Glimmer in performance with this set, but is still best.
This set leaves Olivia’s C slot and Sacred seal open to support choices. Olivia naturally comes with Hone Atk so it’s her cheapest option in her C slot. The next best stat for her to boost is speed, so Hone Spd is her best choice of Seal. However, these two skills can be tailored based on team-mates. Fortify skills are just as powerful on certain teams, so don’t be afraid to experiment in order to find the best combination.
Introduction
Olivia is a sword-wielding infantry who carves out a niche for herself as a good Red sword dancer that's easily accessible. She is one of the most widely accessible units in the entire game, being available in the free hero rotation and as a 3-4 star unit summon. For many low-paying or free players, Olivia is an easy-to-merge and effective unit making her popular in many modes.
Being a Dancer however, is not all roses. Olivia weights in at 150 BST, on average 7-12 lower than other infantry. In terms of raw combat strength she is weaker than nearly all other sword-users. Her Dance ability also uses up one of her own turns, meaning she must often choose between combat and support at any given time.
Thanks to Skill Inheritance, Olivia can be equipped with a wide variety of skills to equalise the playing field and give her a slew of useful winning matchups. She is one of the most useful and versatile units in the entire game, able to provide nearly unrivaled levels of support to allies on the field.
Strengths
Well-placed stats, despite having a lower stat total.
Olivia may have a reduced stat total, but her stats are well-distributed. 33 Speed is workable and is a great defensive speed tier. Her 28 attack is low, but reaches 34 with Fury and and attack boon. 36/27 physical defense is not great, but she gains quite a lot from her weapon refine and Fury.
Access to the versatile and powerful Dance skill.
Dance lets Olivia give any unit on her team a second turn, in exchange for her own. She can use this to double the movement of allies, let teammates retreat or most commonly grant them two attacks in one turn. It’s almost impossible to overstate it’s usefulness. Dance is also great for beating aberrant team compositions (for instance, a team of four blues can be beaten by repeatedly dancing your team’s green unit).
Relatively good matchups due to her color and weapon type.
Olivia is the only red dancer, giving her a useful and unique niche over her peers. She also has access to the Armorsmasher: most useful of the three anti-armor weapons. While they are all statistically identical, The vast majority of armor seen in the Arena is either red or green, making it the most useful. While most dancers struggle in combat, Olivia has quite a lot of winning matchups vs. common Arena threats.
Weaknesses
Reduced combat potential.
Olivia really only has one weakness, and that is reduced combat potential compared to other red units. There are many extremely powerful sword-users such as Ayra, Zelgius, Elincia and Vanguard Ike which completely eclipse Olivia’s performance with their boosted stats, legendary weapons and unique skills. Running Olivia means you forgo the chance to run one of the aforementioned units. In most cases teams can function well without Dance anyway, and will do better with a reliable red unit in her stead.
Team Options
Counters
Olivia’s optimal build makes her resilient vs. many foes. But she is still weak to many threats, such as blues with natural color advantage, and magic damage in particular.
-
Blue tanks: Corrin-F, Nowi, and Brave Lucina: They are all powerful tanks that can wall and beat Olivia. She loses to most forms of Effie and Gwendolyn, but can beat them under certain circumstances.
-
Offensive Fliers: Tana, Cordelia, Elincia, Hinoka, Est: Olivia has no chance of surviving against these units, who double her with Brave or Firesweep weapons. Elincia hits through her Swordbreaker with Amiti for the KO.
- Red and blue mages: Micaiah, Sanaki, Lilina, Tharja, Linde, Reinhardt, L’Arachel, Celica: Olivia sacrifices her resistance to maximise her other stats, leaving her weak to magic damage. She is not fast enough to avoid doubles from faster mages, and not sturdy enough to survive attacks from one-shot builds. Well-placed buffs can allow her to survive some of these units in some cases.

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

Dance | B | Windsweep 3 |
|
Glimmer | C | Odd Spd Wave 3 |
| S | Flashing Blade 3 | ||
This Build is meant to turn Olivia in to a glass cannon, she has enough speed to double most units, enough Atk to mak use of the doubling and just all around best waifu.
|
Safeguard+ (+Def) | A | Fury 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Dance | B | Swordbreaker 3 |
|
Bonfire | C | Hone Atk 3 |
| S | Fortify Def 3 | ||
Atk boon and Res Bane are perferrable, Olivia doesn’t have much magic bulk, but if you plan on using her in Arena HP bane will also be just as good.
Dance is obvious.
Bonfire is a good choice since this set capitalizes on her defence, but Moonbow is also a good special to get the additional damage on the enemies she’s able to double.
Safeguard (+def) is used mainly to protect herself from the common armor emblems found in arena or any common strength unit.
Fury is easily the best choice for A slot.
B skill is optional, either swordbreaker to get a guaranteed kill on most of the sword units or Wings of Mercy for a quick save of a another unit.
C skill is also optional, if your team uses a wide variety of movement types definitely go with a Tactic otherwise if she’s on an infantry team go with a Hone/Fortify. It’s your choice.
S skill is the same idea as the C skill. Movement variety, use Tactic. Infantry only, use Hone/Fortify.
Yes, you do have to sacrifice another dancer for her, but Olivia has more of an advantage over Lene. Being a common 3-4 star unit she can easily be merged to +10 with less dedication than Lene being a 5 star only unit. Also, their stat spread is almost similar, their attack is the exact same, but Olivia has higher defense making safeguard much more viable on her.
