#red flier

[feheroestips]

Quick overview

So never in my dream would I have expected Tana to get a seasonal, TANA OF ALL PEOPLE, infact sacred stones in general and here we are. Tana comes in as the only mage on the banner, along with the only legendary weapon, which is basically guidance 2. She’s also a mage flier something not to be taken lightly, as she’s the second red mage flier, the other being Halloween Nowi. Tana in general in an excellent mage unit, and will feel at home on any flier team.

Base kit

The fruit of Iounn allows units in 2 spaces to warp adjacent to Tana when she is at 50% or above, it’s decent however in general she really prefers other weapons as she’s normally best with desperation. However at base she’s designed to be tanky,  with renewal to keep her alive, and it pairs amazingly with Atk/spd push which, when at 100% hp grants atk/spd+5  but if unit attacked will reduct 1 hp. Renewal helps you get back into this but a lot of the time, swift sparrow is more consistent.  Rally spd/res is really nice and spur atk/def means she covers all 4 stats by being near someone.

Really it’s picking a special for her. Moonbow and Luna are her best options due to having lowish defences and her attack doesn’t quite reach 50 reliably.

Pros + Cons

+Amazing offences, 33/36 is 1 atk less than what normal Tana has +Comes with a decet budget full kit +One of two red mage fliers -limited edition means she’s only around for a while -Thrives best with a lot of support from buffers. -Too fragile to use raouraven, meaning both red mage fliers are squishy

Partners

Other fliers mainly NY Azura and Bridal Ninian make great partners offering dance, allowing Tana to sweep or retreat, meanwhile anyone able to offer buffs is appreciated. Ephraim makes a nice partner being able to provide blue support and buff her.

Suggested set(s)

Fruit salad

Suggested ivs: +atk/spd -res/hp/def

Fruit of Iounn, reposition, moonbow/luna

Slot A = atk/spd push, swift sparrow, fury

Slot B = renewal, desperation, green tome breaker

Slot C = any c slot

Sacred seals: atk+3,spd+3, spurs, drives

A basic budget set for Tana, you can really go two ways, focus on her base A slot and use renewal to abuse it, or use another A slot and use desperation to sweep. Though if you suffer -spd you can use green tome breaker to maximise her KO spread to the max. 

Beach blade beauty

Suggested ivs: +atkspd -def/hp/res

Raourblade+, Reposition, Moonbow/Glimmer

Slot A = Swift sparrow, fury

Slot B = desperation

Slot C = any c skill

Sacred seals: atk+3,spd+3,heavy blade

Quite frankly Tana’s most terrifying set which, in the right team destroys foes who dare come near her. The blade tome easily excels thanks to Tana’s base 36 speed and combined with decent attack means she can sweep through teams easily. Glimmer is the better skill when buffed, but unbuffed you’ll probably want moonbow, though I doubt you’d be unbuffed.

Quick overview

Caeda ever since the start of the game has found her self in a tough spot, Palla was 3/4 times better for the job and almost always used over her for flier emblem teams, while later on Elinica came in a just pretty much blew them both out the water Palla had her uses, and things looked bad for Caeda till the introduction of a certain weapon which she actually uses better than Palla. Still being one of 3 red fliers in the game or are easily available means she has that going for her.

Base kit

So Caeda with the Armourslayer and as such its upgraded version too, which can ignore armour buffs however armours are rarely seen on non armour emblem teams unless they are a bonus unit, thus making it a niche choice at best. Its viable but theres a lot better weapons out there for her. Rally speed is among the best rally skills so its a nice option to have. Darting blow improve apon her amazing base speed however she might not really need the speed boost. Finally fortify fliers is a nice option for flier emblem teams but if not she has fortify res 2 at least.

B slot wise desperation is a nice choice but so are skills like hit and run and breaker skills. Special wise iceberg is often her best bet but glacies helps patch her awful damage output

Pros + Cons

+Amazing speed, among the best in the game

+Her resistance is amazing too

+Easy to obtain and a pick for 4* merging 

-Suffers badly from poor attack

-Requires heavy investment

-Needs a team built for her ideally.

Partners

The best partners are the ones who can take care of blue units who have high defence, so a green mage or axe unit will improve the team a lot, a unit like brave ike can deal with most blue units while acting as a wall for her. Of course other fliers help too and she’d really enjoy Minerva being on the team or Hinoka or someone with hone fliers support.

Suggested set(s)

Beauty from afar

+Atk/spd/res -def/hp

Wo dao+,  reposition, moonbow

Slot A = Triangle adept, distant counter, swift sparrow, fury

Slot B = desperation, green tome breaker

Slot C = any c slot

Sacred seals: spd+3, atk+3, distant defence

Weapon refinery = ideally give her the +atk or speed variant, it depends on your ivs, pick the complementary one to your ivs so +atk pick the +spd one

The standard set for her these days, ideally you want distant counter to be able to hit mages but triangle adept and the others fix her damage problems to a degree. Desperation allows her to hit without retaliation but green tome breaker lets her be safe from Nino and other fast mages. Wo dao is used due to the +10 damage on special triggers which with moonbow really helps her out.

I’ll do my part!

+Atk/spd -def/hp

Firesweep sword+, reposition, luna/iceberg

Slot A = Life and death, swift sparrow

Slot B = hit and run

Slot C = Hone or fortify, guidance

Sacred seals: guidance, hone speed, or a spur

So yes this requires feeding a Soleil but she runs this set better than Palla does and the fact blue fliers have been loving this means she probably will too. Firesweep sword to begin with solves her problems with attack and she will never have to worry about being hit back by Hector or someone. So the idea is you go in, hit with fire sweep sword and hopefully weaken the foe, retreat with hit and run a space, and then ideally you have either a armour unit or infantry who is now in range, who with the help of guidance wraps in to finish the job while also protecting Caeda. Ideally then you run a hone or spur to increase the teams efforts as you want to be close together. A slot wise you just want to increase your offence, life and death is the best bet and leaves you with a respectable 29 resistance, while swift sparrow offers a few less kills in order to preserve 34 res. This build is made specifically for guidance ideally so try and get it somehow
