Fire Emblem Heroes Wiki talk:Build Center/Robin: High Deliverer

Regarding the calcs for Robin, consider talking about the outcome of matches where foes are significantly stronger, or even WITH specials taken into account, for a much better picture of what Robin can survive when under pressure. For instance: +Atk Kagero initiating the attack with Death Blow AND a +4 Atk buff can only deal 19 HP, which is not a 2HKO if she runs a Special other than Reprisal or Moonbow. With the same setup, Kagero WILL double Robin if she is +Spd instead and 2HKO, but that's okay to say too-- it's okay to list matchups where the units fail so people utilizing this information know their limits, IMO (not that a Kagero is going to be running Death Blow all the time with what an expensive skill it is, but it's still good to know IMO-- I don't think anyone can deal more damage than Kagero either, so that gives a good idea of what he CAN survive pretty good I think).

Don't hesitate to push the limits of what units can take; if you demonstrate a ludicrous situation that the unit CAN survive, it speaks better to their survivability in anything less. Banryu (talk) 05:13, 2 April 2017 (EDT)


 * current 2 sets are too similar IMO

Okay regarding the two current builds, I don't think making an entirely separate set just to add Quick Riposte as a B-skill is really necessary unless the two sets are utilizing different Assist and C-slot skills, which they aren't, as both sets are left 'flexible' in that regard. I think it makes more sense just to mention both on the one set since they're otherwise identical. Banryu187 (talk) 03:20, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Hey Banryu, I think that's a good point! I've updated the skillbuild template so that it supports up to two skill suggestions per skill type (see the Eliwood build you submitted). I think if two builds are similar enough that they can be merged into one using this added functionality, then they should be combined. --Teg (talk)

Updated writeup for his build on the main builds page:

Male Robin has an unusual stat spread for a mage, as his stats are all just average with his Res being rather low. However, he can serve as a colourless check.

He comes with the, which grants him an advantage against colourless units. This advantage can be heightened even further with. However, he becomes even more vulnerable to green units, and enemies with Cancel Affinity can thwart him. If he's facing foes with Cancel Affinity, is another, more expensive option that would allow Robin to maintain his advantage against all colourless foes by greatly increasing his defenses against them.

To bypass his mediocre Spd and allow him to double his opponents, he has two choices for his B skill. can be used as he should only be baiting his opponents out. It would allow him to retaliate twice, and is not limited to specific weapon types, so he can retaliate twice against archers and thieves. is another option if Robin is to be used solely to check archers, as it would prevent them from doubling him.

His C skill is flexible, open to be whatever the player needs.

To maximize his defense, his Seal is.

His Assists are either or, both allowing him to move his allies around. Either one will suffice.

Finally, his Special is, as he comes with it naturally and it runs off of his decent Def stat.
