Okay seriously, if I *don't* have a +atk Reinhardt, what do I do with him?

Best advice i can give, if you ever get +atk reinhardt, you can always merge him with the current one (well merge the current one into him) so you will inherit all his skills anyway, all you need to do then is lvl up him or make him 5* if its 4*. So you lose nothing, and have pretty decent blue mage anyway.

Go ahead and give him DB3 and Lancebreaker 2/3. I've got a +Def - Spd Rein and he still works just fine without the +Atk. It's a big help, but it's not 100% necessary. Just be sure to prioritize 5 staring a 4 star + Atk Rein when you get one, and merge him in.

Well, what do you expect? Non +ATK Reinhardt only ORKOs 80% of the roster.

A) Vantage fodder
B) Save for future merging opportunities
C) Promote to 5* to fodder Dire Tome
D) Just build him and use him until you can merge him into a good IV

lol what are you talking about any Reinhardt that isn't -atk is worth 5*ing whether or not you actually have a +atk one.

In case you fully invested in a neutral reinhardt and come by a +atk one later, simply make that one 5 star (if he isn't already) and merge your preexisting one to that one.

since is not -atk, I think is usable once you get a better you can merge it

Lmao that's literally the same iv rein I use.Just give him lancebreaker and death blow and he'll be fine, trust me, he's my 2nd or 3rd best after Brave Lyn

Any reinhardt is good. A Death blow or fury skill will make IVs pretty much useless. Give him death blow and maybe bonfire and he will do some great damage with dire thunder

If you have a 5* Reinhardt, and he's not -Atk, go directly to Death Blow 3.

Do not pass Go, do not collect 200 dollars .. Get Deathblow on him as soon as you can. Atk +1 seal too if possible and on a team with a Hone Atk Dancer/Singer. Add a pinch of Reposition/Draw Back and he'll be *amazing*.

Truth be told, I have a 5* Reinhardt with -Spd/+Res. I also have a 4* with a +Atk IV, and 20k feathers with which to promote and merge the +Atk Rein. I can "fix" my Rein's Atk whenever I choose. I've put off doing it for a while now because neutral Atk Rein kills pretty much everything I need him to.

Sure, I'm sad about the 1 out of every 200 to 300 kills he doesn't make that he could make if he was +Atk, but the +Res comes in handy all the time. Usually all it takes to kill one of the very few targets a neutral Atk Reinhardt falls just short of killing is attacking and killing something else first to charge Luna.

I prefer Draw Back on him, although everyone else seems to prefer Reposition. *shrug*

So here are the kagero results

ASkill : Death Blow 3
Effect : Hone cavalry
On initiation :

- Atk Rein : 125 wins, 9 loss, 34 draw.
Add moonbow and quicken pulse seal : 145 wins, 5 loss, 18 draws

neutral Atk : 140 wins, 6 loss, 22 draw
Moonbow / pulse : 156 wins, 1 Loss, 11 draw

+Atk : 151 wins, 3 loss, 14 draw
Moonbow / pulse : 151 wins, 3 loss, 14 draws

There's a weird thing between neutral and +atk, I might have used like a HP boon or bane somewhere.

POINT IS
Almost no one is able to resist a Rein with the good build and buffs. Even a terrible -Atk (like mine T_T)

Go build him. You'll change him later :)
