Attuned Caeda Overview
Caeda is a character that originates fromthe very firstFire Emblemgame,Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light. After that, she makes her appearance in many games that follow, such asFire Emblem: Mystery of the Dragon. In Fire Emblem Heroes, she has many alts and one of her most recent ones is her Attuned Caeda. Here are her skills and character overview.
Name and Title
Rng: 1 Eff: Cavalry and Armored
Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1).
Effective against armored and cavalry foes.
At start of turn, if unit is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Spd+6 and the following status to the unit and allies within 2 spaces for 1 turn: “unit can move to a space adjacent to any ally within 2 spaces.”
If the unit is within 3 spaces of an ally, grants bonus to unit’s Atk/Spd/Def/Res during combat = number of allies within 3 spaces of unit x 3, + 5 (max 14), reduces the percentage of foe’s non-Special “reduce damage by X%” skills by 50% (excluding area-of-effect Specials), reduces damage from attacks by 30% (excluding area-of-effect Specials), and also, if unit deals damage to foe during combat, restores X HP to unit (if foe is armored or cavalry, X = 14; otherwise, X = 7; triggers even if 0 damage is dealt).
Treats foe’s Def/Res as if reduced by 50% during combat.
D Bonus Doubler
Unit can counterattack regardless of the foe’s range. Grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+ to unit during combat (X = highest bonus on each stat between unit and allies within 2 spaces of unit; calculates each stat bonus independently).
Believe in Love?
If a skill compares unit’s Spd to a foe’s or ally’s Spd, treats the unit’s Spd as if granted +7.
Inflicts Atk/Spd/Def-5 on foe during combat and grants bonus to unit’s Atk/Spd/Def/Res during combat = current penalty on each of unit’s stats x 2 (example: if unit has -7 penalty to Atk, grants Atk+14, for a net bonus of Atk+7; calculates each stat bonus independently), and also, if unit’s Spd > foe’s Spd, reduces damage from attacks during combat and from area-of-effect Specials (excluding Rokkr area-of-effect Specials) by percentage = difference between stats × 5 (max 50%).
If foe is armored or cavalry, reduces damage dealt to unit by X (X = highest total bonuses among unit and allies within 2 spaces of unit; including from area-of-effect Specials), and if foe is not armored or cavalry, reduces damage from foe’s first attack by 40% of X during combat (“first attack” normally means only the first strike; for effects that grant “unit attacks twice,” it means the first and second strikes).
Def/Res Pledge
At start of turn, if unit is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Def/Res+6 and “Special cooldown charge + 1 to unit per attack during combat (only highest value applied; does not stack)” to unit for 1 turn.
If unit is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Def/Res+3 to unit during combat.
Guard Echo
At the start of combat, if unit’s HP ≥ 25%, inflicts Special cooldown charge - 1 on foe per attack during combat (only the highest value applied; does not stack), and also, if foe initiates combat, reduces damage from foe’s first attack by 20% during combat (“first attack” normally means only the first strike; for effects that grant “unit attacks twice,” it means the first and second strikes).
Best IVs For Attuned Caeda
When it comes to Caeda, the player should keep in mind that she is a unit that will heavily rely on her defense and resistance stats, as she has a role to play as a tank.
Her speed and attack will also benefit from being at their best. Caeda can become one of the player’s units with the highest speed.
Due to all this, it makes HP her most sacrificable stat, especially because HP can be more easily patched than other stats.
All in all, the player will want to ensure that Caeda has + Speed, while having - HP to make her as efficient as possible.
Best Caeda Build
All of Caeda’s given skills perfectly fit her and will work amazingly with her. What remains to choose for her, besides those, are her assist skill and her Sacred Seal.
When it comes to her assist skill, it would be best for the player to go specifically for a movement assist skill. Some possible good options for her would be Draw Back, Swap or Reposition.
When it now comes to her sacred seal, many options can work amazingly for her. Defiant Attack would work well here for Attuned Caeda. Indeed, this skill would allow her to have +7 Attack if her HP is below or equal to 50%. As Caeda will likely be tanking many attacks, it’s good for her to have a better chance of finishing off enemies when her HP falls low.
How to Best Utilize Caeda
Caeda is a unit that will be especially effective when taking on specific units. Due to that, she will be better suited to fighting certain teams than others. With her skill“Believe in Love?”and with her weapon Pure-Wing Spear, she is especially built for fighting armored or cavalry units.
InFire Emblem Heroes,some characters might be better suited to fight next to their allies, or on the opposite, to fight far from their Allies. When it comes to Caeda, she is part of the units who operate better close to allies as she will be rewarded for that. Pure-Wing Spear, her weapon, as well as her skill Def/Res Pledge, grants her stat bonuses for being close to an ally.
Caeda can also be quite a useful support character. That is all thanks to her weapon, Pure-Wing Spear. This allows her to warp next to an ally if they’re only 2 spaces away. What makes this amazing is the fact that this effect isn’t limited to just her, and can be used by her Allies as well.
Caeda can also heal herself by attacking her enemies, even in the scenario where she deals her foe no damage, which makes her a very good unit even on her own. Depending on what type of unit she attacks, she can heal either 14 or 7 HP.
