Stats

Robin (M)

He possesses well-rounded stats at the initial level, this allows him to function both offensive and defensive during the early stages. However once he has achieved maximum level, his stats do not stand out as much, as compared to others such as Linde. Robin (M) still becomes a reliable ally due to having buffs on hand which do not rely much on stats.

Strategy

Robin (M) can function as both a cannon and a tank. Although, he can only play as a cannon should the player go against Red-type enemies and if he has Triangle Adept. This allows him to take down Red enemies but at the cost of losing his power against Green enemies. While he does have a balanced set of stats, he doesn’t particularly excel in much either.

With his base skills, he can defensively buff his allies. His ability to grant defensive buffs and increased speed buffs work well with mages who suffer from low defense. Some mages who have this problem are like Linde and Delthea. Both who are blue and have high offensive attack power but can barely stand against colorless physical damage dealers.

He can be quite versatile especially if paired with other heroes such as Azama, Hawkeye, and Katarina. For example, buffing Katarina’s defense can help her continue blasting other heroes or enemies. At the same time, this takes advantage of her weapon Rauørwolf+. If she has teammates adjacent to her (meaning cross formation, not an “x”), her ATK doubles which makes her extremely useful in taking Hector. At the same time, any Blue Lancer can attack her and she’ll be able to take in the damage for a bit.

Counter

  • Nino – Nino is highly versatile with a high ATK. With Gronnblade+, she can deal heavy damage against Robin (M). Another is if she receives ATK buffs from other heroes.
  • Julia – Julia has high ATK and high RES. Because of this, she’s completely counter to Robin (M).
  • Hector – Despite him being an armored character, he can perform Distant Counter.
