Stats
Brave Lucina, if drawn during the debut of the Brave Heroes, will not have any favoured stat. However, players can still pull Brave Lucina even now when the event is over. Since 5☆ heroes have 3% appearance rate, she can be quite hard to draw unless you start whaling and grinding those orbs. She unfortunately however has an inherently low RES which makes her a target for Green Tomes or Green Dragonstone users.

Strategy
Brave Lucina can serve as a physical tank/buff tower. Her weapon, Geirskögul, can be quite useful for teams that need to stick together on a daily basis. Also, she can sweep through the enemies in the Tempest Trials due to the high MT her weapon gives her plus the additional defense. She’s almost as deadly as her Red/Sword version save for the lack of inherent Renewal in her weapon which is in the OG Lucina‘s Falchion. But what replenishes her HP is her special attacks, Daylight, Sol, and Aether.
Unfortunately, her one main flaw is being shot down by mages and Dragonstone enemies which the OG Lucina can counter. Her low Speed also prevents her from being doubled unless given Darting Blow for her B-skill. Or, Brave Lucina can instead have Threaten Spd which can give her a better chance in dealing two hits against her enemy. Though, she’ll have to give up Drive Spd 2 in the process.
Since she has no assist move, try giving her Reposition or Swap in order to get close mage type enemies or to move away from them.
For team builds on the other hand, she appears to be very useful with Katarina due to them needing to stick together. This is because of Katarina‘s weapon which doubles her stats the more allies are adjacent to her. With Brave Lucina blocking the front, Katarina can also use Breath of Life as a seal along with Atk Ploy to prevent Lucina from taking too much damage.
Counter
- Delthea – Delthea can lose her buffs and still deal heavy damage. It’s who she is. Her atk literally stomps out the Res of any character. Unless, the Brave Lucina either runs Distant Def or Deflect Magic 1 to prevent herself from being chopped down.
- Julia – Julia, being a Green Tome infantry unit, can quickly break down Brave Lucina’s defenses. Unless, the Brave Lucina either runs Distant Def or Deflect Magic 1 to prevent herself from being chopped down. At the same time, she needs to have an ally with her that can boost her Res.
- Hector – Hector can tank her damage while chewing large portions of Brave Lucina’s HP.
- Deidre – Similar to Julia, she can easily tear through Brave Lucina’s HP even with her high RES build. Since she’s a green tome user, she deals damage based on Brave Lucina’s RES stat – Iceberg and Ignis which deals damage based on the Res.
- Camilla – Camilla has Brave Axe which deals double damage regardless of Spd.
- Amelia – Even if on base build, Amelia can soak up a lot of damage coming from Brave Lucina. Her Earth Boost gives her a defense boost plus if given Pavise instead of Sacred Cowl, she can soak up all the damage.
- Celica – Celica’s Ragnarok gives her an additional +5 Atk/Spd which can chew away Brave Lucina’s health. If she has a healer accompanying her, she can apply that buff on her on a daily basis. Another is that she has a high ATK which will eat away Brave Lucina’s HP even if she’s just a Red/Tome user.
- Fae – As a Dragonstone user, Fae deals damage based on Brave Lucina’s RES. Also, Brave Lucina can no longer deal the extra damage due to her swapping out Falchion with Geirskögul.
