Adrift MCorrin

Overview

Adrift MCorrin is a blue infantry dragon with the weapon Draconic Rage. It acts as a slaying weapon as well as giving him atk/spd +5 during combat if the number of allies within two spaces are more than the number of enemies. 

He has 35 atk, 35 spd,  31 def and 24 res. He’s going to hit pretty hard and avoid plenty of doubles but mages will be able to hurt him quite a bit. 

Her has Atk/Def Bond and Hone Dragons but his selling point is Null Follow Up which disables foe’s skills that allow them to follow up attack and prevent unit from follow up attacking. Basically, fighter skills like Vengeful Fighter and then things like Quick Riposte will not activate past the special cooldown charge. They won’t be able to double as long as Null Follow Up exists on Corrin.

Pros/Cons

+ Good atk/spd/def make him a formidable opponent in both enemy and player phase

+ Base kit pretty good for him, especially his weapon

- Poor poor resistance. 

- Weakness to anti-dragon units, negated somewhat by being blue when most anti-dragon units are red.

Similar Units

I wonder if the point of the Adrift Corrins was to powercreep their children, because MCorrin is a MKana upgrade. MKana has lower stats overall except having the same def and higher res at 29. Unfortunately for MKana, as a GHB unit, he does not have access to IVs the same was MCorrin has. MCorrin also has a better base kit overall, making him the clear winner here.

Nowi, cheaply available, has lower stats overall but she also has DC built into her weapon and can be easily merged to +10 for better stats and scoring. She does need more work into her base kit than MCorrin does, but if you just wanted a tanky dragon, Nowi is the cheaper option. 

Team Options

Dragon Emblem!

He’ll definitely need protection from mages with that 24 res. Someone like Summer Leo, Flora, Felica, etc would be good for tanking mages for him. 

IVS

+atk or +spd for 38 in either. +def is also a good choice for 34 def.

HP and Res can be kept neutral or dropped. Res is probably the better drop so he can keep his bulk for non-magic units.

Builds

HE RUINED MY DREAM JOURNAL

Weapon: Draconic Rage

Assist: Reposition

Special: Bonfire, Aether

A: Atk/Def Bond 3, Steady Breath

B: Null Follow Up 3 

C: Even/Odd Def Wave 3, up to you

Seal: Close Def isn’t bad, but again, up to you. QR3 is another option

For a defensive boy, you can slap Bonfire and Steady Breath on him. You can stick with Atk/Def Bond but he won’t get the cooldown charge from Steady Breath. Null Follow Up is good to keep for cheap but you can replace it with Quick Riposte. If you’re not doing dragon emblem, Even Def Wave can just add to his defensive capabilities but if you prefer making a more mixed bulk Corrin, you can use Res Waves or whatever else you want.

I did not! Mr. Electric, send him to the principal's office and have him EXPELLED!

Weapon: Draconic Rage

Assist: Reposition

Special: Blue Flame, Draconic Aura

A: Fierce Breath, Steady Breath

B: Wrath 3, Null Follow Up Attack 3

C: Atk Wave, up to you

Seal: Up to you

For more hard hitting, you can use some atk based things like Fierce Breath and Wrath. You can definitely mix both builds to make whatever you want, I just separated them out because the first is a little cheaper.
