Strategy

She is the archetype of the tome glass cannon in the game. Her stat distribution is shared with others such as Delthea. She is a solid counter against most tome units due to her competitive Resistance stat.

Skills-wise, the only Skill she can retain is her Spur Atk 3 as it gives her a chance to buff others while she is near her allies. However, this is still dependent on the team’s needs. Even though her weapon has high Mt and is unique to her, it lacks effects to be of much use.

She unfortunately is hindered by the trade-off between having massive Magic attack is sacrificing her measly Defense. To make things worse, her average Speed puts her at a disadvantage during combat, making her an easy target to high Speed and Attack Ranged units such as Kagero and buffed Klein.

Using the default kit, her primary weapon does not have additional effects which fares poorly against the new weapons. However, with a generous amount of Skill inheritance investment she is capable of running Rauðrblade+ to spam Draconic Aura. This gives Lilina a chance to launch multiple powerful Specials while alleviating her poor Speed. She can also cover her Speed with Desperation 3 and Threaten Spd 3 to land some double hits to maximize damage.

Lilina appreciates teammates who can cover her mediocre Defenses. Depending on the team composition, she appreciates allies such as Hector to sponge attacks from Dagger units and Bow units. This also covers her weakness to lance units because of their color synergy. For opposing Red melee units, she also pairs well with Ephraim and Sharena, who not only pass buffs but also have the durability to block red sword fighters.

Counter

• Reinhardt – A blue tome to rival Lilina, his attack allows him to tear through the opposition. He is especially concerning because of his mobility as a cavalier unit.
• Kagero – A dedicated low-Def infantry sweeper, thanks to her weapon’s effect. Sporting high Res, she can handle some of Lilina’s attacks and retaliate back with her own. However she needs to worry about facing Rauðrraven types.
• Takumi – His high Speed and Attack guarantees that he can deal multiple damage to Lilina despite his poor Resistance.
• Klein – With buffs to raise his Speed, his Brave Bow+ deals destructive damage to Lilina’s poor Defense stat.
