Boon
- +ATK: By far the best boon, as it is the sole source of his offensive power.
Neutral
- HP / DEF / RES: Not generally important to Reinhardt, but his Speed is preferable to dump because it is so low.
Bane
- -SPD: Generally the best bane, as his Speed is nearly unsalvageable after Dire Thunder’s -5 penalty.
- -HP / -DEF / -RES: All acceptable banes as well, as an Attack boon is by far the most important IV.

- Passive C: Hone Cavalry / Flexible
- Sacred Seal: Quickened Pulse / Attack +3
Standard maximum offensive build for Reinhardt. Death Blow synergizes with Dire Thunder to allow Reinhardt to deal massive damage over two attacks, which is often more damage than many units can handle. When paired with offensive buffs (Hone Cavalry, Atk Tactic, or just a simple Hone Atk), Reinhardt can easily obliterate a massive number of enemy units without a chance of being retaliated against.
Moonbow synergizes with Quickened Pulse to allow Reinhardt to activate his special on his very first initiation, squeezing just a bit more damage that is often the difference between KOing or not. If not running Quickened Pulse, or one simply wants more damage, replace Moonbow with Luna or Draconic Aura, and run an Attack +3 seal.
B slot is mostly up to preference. Chill Res will greatly enhance Reinhardt's KO range, as a -7 debuff is effectively +14 damage for him. It gives a similar advantage as Lancebreaker over Berkut's Lance-wielding units, but can be less consistent in that it will always target the enemy with the highest Resistance; this can result in the debuff ending up on a unit that Reinhardt won't be able to deal meaningful damage to (such as a super mage tank or a Triangle Adept green). Lancebreaker will increase the breadth of targets that Reinhardt will be able to handle: any lance unit running a refined Berkut's Lance will typically have enough Resistance to survive two hits, but not four. Wings of Mercy is a good option if flexibility is wanted, as it allows for many more options with positioning.

- Passive A: Swift Sparrow / Life and Death
- Passive B: Watersweep
- Passive C: Hone Cavalry / Flexible
- Sacred Seal: Phantom Spd
After the introduction of weapon refinery, dragons have become a serious powerhouse. In addition, it is becoming increasingly difficult for Reinhardt to destroy everything as he used to. This build accepts that Reinhardt may no longer KO everything he touches, but seeks to at least keep him safe while he outputs his damage.
Watersweep is the cornerstone of this build, as it prevents both mages and dragons counterattacking (and often KOing) Reinhardt. It’s paired along with Swift Sparrow (or Life and Death) and Phantom Spd seal in order to maximize the chance of Reinhardt having more effective Speed than his target to nullify their counterattack. With this combination, Reinhardt will be able to negate the counterattacks of units with 32 Speed, or 38 Speed if Reinhardt receives a Hone Cavalry buff.
32 Speed is not very consistent in terms of nullifying counterattacks with Watersweep, even for dragons. However, 38 Speed is enough to nullify all dragons except those that are stacking extreme amounts of Speed in their builds, such as a +Speed Nowi with a +Speed refined breath, Fury, and Speed+3 seal, hitting 39 Speed total. Even this can be overcome via application of a Goad Cavalry buff or Summoner/Ally Support. This build has a strong reliance on cavalry buffs to function, more so than other builds, as it is reliant on turning Reinhardt’s abysmal Speed stat into something useful.
Who Needs Speed (Quad Offensive)

|---|---|---|---|
|
Reciprocal Aid | B | Desperation 3 |
|
Luna | C | Hone Cavalry |
| SP | 1,575 | S | Brash Assault 3 |
- IV: +ATK / -SPD
- Weapon: Dire Thunder
- Assist: Reciprocal Aid / Ardent Sacrifice
- Special: Luna
- A Slot: Death Blow
- B Slot: Desperation
- C Slot: Hone Cavalry / Flexible
- Seal: Brash Assault
This build is mostly similar to the standard offensive build, except it employs the Brash Assault seal/Desperation combo. Once Reinhardt drops below 50% HP, usually via usage of Reciprocal Aid or multiple applications of Ardent Sacrifice, he will now quad strike everything he initiates on, generally KOing everything in his path. Once active, this build is strong enough to KO a good number of Reinhardt’s conventional counters.
One of the advantages of this build is that running Desperation in the B slot is not particularly risky, as Reinhardt is a ranged unit, a trait he shares with Brave Bow archers. Melee Brave weapon users have to worry about being stuck in close proximity after engaging, so they are reliant on Drag Back or Hit and Run to pull them to a safer distance. Ranged Brave units will already be at that longer range after engaging, allowing them to stay relatively safe.
Introduction
Reinhardt is a massive powerhouse of a Player Phase unit, capable of dealing massive amounts of damage due to his unique Dire Thunder tome allowing him to attack twice on initiation. Thanks to being a cavalry unit, he also has excellent mobility, on top of being a ranged unit, which gives him a massive effective range, allowing him to dive in and attack any target as needed. His presence in the meta is undeniable – it’s very telling that one of the very first questions asked of any new green unit is, “Can they survive Reinhardt?”
As far as blue mage cavalry units go, Reinhardt doesn’t have a whole lot of competition. Olwen is not particularly better or worse than Reinhardt, as both tend to play fairly differently, and Ursula is just an inferior version of Olwen. Reinhardt’s dominance over basically all red units and a lot of other colors makes him an easy choice for the blue unit in a team with good color coverage.
Unfortunately, due to his low speed, Reinhardt is vulnerable both on Enemy Phase and on Player Phase versus units that he doesn’t immediately destroy within two hits. He is fairly reliant on teammates to deliver him from dangerous situations, a trait he shares with other offensively oriented units.
Strengths
Massive Damage Output
The combination of Dire Thunder, a decent Attack stat, and class specific buffs (Hone Cavalry) make Reinhardt's offenses incredibly potent, and very difficult to match.
High Mobility
Thanks to being a cavalry unit, Reinhardt enjoys 3 movement, giving him an effective 5 range with his tome.
Good Availability
Being available as a four star unit means that Reinhardt is easy to obtain, to find ideal IVs of, and merge if desired.
Low Investment
While Reinhardt’s base kit isn’t the best, he really only needs Death Blow and a Special to be able to do his job and do it well.
Weaknesses
Low Speed
While Reinhardt has decent Defense and Resistance, he is still susceptible to being KO'd as a result of his awful Speed.
Lacks Versatility
Reinhardt is fairly one-dimensional -- with his standard build, if he can’t KO his target outright, he is not able to contribute as much to the team, due to the high possibility of him being KO'd himself
Too Potent For His Own Good
As a result of being a very popular meta unit, there are now a very large number of counters to Reinhardt. Most units with Distant Def will be difficult to KO, and the Deflect Magic seal is a hard counter to him.
Team Options
Counters
The easiest way of KOing Reinhardt is simply to attack him; he crumbles underneath most competent offensive units due to his low Speed. Reinhardt’s superior mobility combined with his ability to attack at range makes him very difficult to approach; the most reliable method is to allow him to engage and KO him with Enemy Phase units. As a cavalry unit, Reinhardt shares a weakness to anti-cavalry weapons. Lance units can be designed to easily survive Reinhardt even if he is toting Lancebreaker via a +Res refined Berkut’s Lance, which grants a massive boost to Resistance. If all else fails, a fully upgraded Deflect Magic seal can make a huge number of units able to survive Reinhardt.
- Offensive units: Strong offensively oriented units can easily KO Reinhardt for the most part. Some examples include Brave Lyn, Cherche, Minerva, Cecilia, Gunnthrá, and Nino. Even Reinhardt himself will easily destroy enemy Reinhardts.
- Green Enemy Phase Units: Fae, Myrrh, Julia, Deirdre, Sonya, Sheena, and Winter Lissa are the most reliable way of dealing with Reinhardt.
- Anti-Cavalry Weapons: Any unit toting these will completely obliterate Reinhardt. Some units that utilize them are Effie and Micaiah.
- High Resistance Lances: Fjorm and Mathilda can both be built to survive Reinhardt even through Lancebreaker thanks to a +Res refined Berkut's Lance.
- The Deflect Magic Seal: This seal is notable because it presents a hard counter to Reinhardt, as the damage mitigation on the second hit will nullify his greatest advantage. Any high magical bulk unit can run this, but one notable example is Nowi.

Reposition | B | Windsweep 3 |

Moonbow | C | Hone Cavalry |
| S | Quickened Pulse | ||
A build that focuses on maintaining all of Reinhardt's positive qualties, and additionally allows him to destroy Vantage users without having to rely on his poor defenses. With a +Speed Boon, and a -HP Bane, Reinhardt can sacrifice a small bit of his obnoxious killing power in order to deal with units that counter him like Hector.
With a Hone Cavalry buff, Reinhardt sits at 32 Speed, enough to activate Windsweep to prevent a foe from killing him with Vantage. Even without the cavalry support, 26 is still enough to activate Windsweep against the slow tanky units.
Life and Death 3 must be used to boost his power and speed as much as possible. Watersweep 3 is a similar option, but generally has less usefulness than Windsweep 3. The C skill is completely up to preference. Cavalry buffs are always appreciated on a Horse Emblem team. If one is using him without Cavalry buffs, then Threaten Speed 3 should be used to help with Windsweep. The old Moonbow and Quickened Pulse combo allows Reinhardt to strike powerfully, and is recommeneded to balance out the lack of Attack Boon. However, one can save Quickened Pulse for another unit, and run Phantom Speed to utilize Windsweep against even fast targets. The support skill is flexible, and should be whatever the team desires.

A different take on the standard Reinhardt, Close Counter Owlhardt does a great job of scaring people in Arena Defense while simultaneously serving as a multi-purpose tank on cavalry teams. Surround him with Ward Cavalry users and his stats jump to 38/47/26/48/43. Yeah, you saw that right. FORTY-EIGHT DEFENSE AND FORTY-THREE RESISTANCE. That Bonfire does TWENTY-FOUR EXTRA DAMAGE. And Reinhardt's Speed is still low enough that he can get doubled, therefore Bonfiring on the first Quick Riposte!

*For use in Horse Emblem*
Build:
Death Blow 3 - This allows Reinhardt to maximize his damage output. Since he is a player-phase oriented hero, he wants to initiate attacks and this skill gives him extra power.
Blue Tomebreaker 3 - I prefer Blue Tomebreaker 3 instead of Lancebreaker 3 since most lance units will be ORKO'd by him anyways. The only lance unit who could probably survive an attack from Reinhardt is Jagen, however he is relatively obsolete. Blue Tomebreaker 3 allows Reinhardt to work as a one-time blue mage bait unit, however he will lose in a bait against another Reinhardt so be mindful.
Fortify Cavalry - Can be swapped with other Cavalry skills depending on the team composition. I use Fortify Cavalry since my Reinhardt is mainly paired with Xander, who makes great use of the additional defense.
Dire Thunder - 9 might and two consecutive hits when attacking. Overkill, really. There's a reason he's called "Thunder's Fist."
Reposition - Can be swapped for other positioning skills. I find Reposition to be useful on mages. My Horse Emblem team runs one Swap and Two Repositions, which is a great set for mobility.
Luna - Reinhardt wants to be able to win almost every match-up in the game. While Moonbow provides quicker damage, Luna provides a stronger hit. Reinhardt will always be getting two charges per attack, which makes Luna charge almost as quickly as Moonbow. With Luna active, it helps Reinhardt pierce through the resistance of units in which he should normally lose to or go even with.
Attack +1 - Straightfoward, this seal gives Reinhardt an extra attack point allowing him to expand on his attack
Playstyle:
Reinhardt is probably the most simple hero to use in this game. Use Horse Emblem buffs to make him stronger, and them let him run free on the battlefield. He wins almost every match-up he goes into with the exception of hard-counters such as Julia. One thing to note, however, is that if you are running a Reinhardt with a neutral ATK or -ATK, you may sometimes leave enemy units with single digit HP. Always check to see if you will ORKO first, because it will sometimes leave Reinhardt in a bad position if he can't.

The very standard build of him.
Mine is not +Atk so I desperately need DB3 to make him strong enough for the current hellish contents offered by the game.
Lancebreaker can cover lance units especially for some annoyingly high RES ones e.g. Jagen. If possible B Tomebreaker is what I dreamed to get but sacrificing Robinne is so cruel.
