## Hero Guide

### Summary

[Master of Light] Sun God Freyr, more commonly known as Red Freyr, was the featured unit in the Ragnarok Special Draw (July 5, 2022 to July 19, 2022). He’s also permanently present in the Race Draw I banner.

Freyr has a tremendous amount of Utility in the form of a mainly offensive kit which is able to Cancel Stances, deal massive damage which is also increased by adding his Crit Damage to it and an Ultimate Move with the Death effect, which can potentially kill two units or leave the main target severely damaged.

His Unique makes his allies immune to Ignite effects. It also increases all of his stats over time, and once it reaches its maximum it increases his allies’ stats as well, which makes Freyr a significant threat on the battlefield if left unchecked.

Furthermore, his Holy Relic increases his supporting potential by increasing the Basic Stats of his allies and the damage they deal based on the number of allies that fulfil specific criteria (either Ragnarok or Unknown race units).

#### Pros

* Can break Stances since level 2.
* He has high DPS potential thanks to his high Crit Damage, his Cleave skill deals high damage
* His Death effect can potentially kill two units or leave one severely damaged.
* Can increase over time his stats and those of his allies.
* Works also in PVE endgame content such as Demonic Beast Battles.

#### Cons

* Without his Holy Relic or a Taunt on his team (provided by Red Tyr or Green Ghislaine, for example), he can be relatively frail since his gear focuses on maximizing his offensive capabilities.
* His Unique takes time to ramp up. Also, units such as Blue Festival Berserk Estarossa can remove the buffs he provides, while Green Demon Lord Rimuru Tempest can even take advantage of them.
* His Ultimate Move requires many dupes to be a reliable killing move.

### Skill Review

**Blitz Charge -** This skill allows him to Cancel Stances since level 2, making him an effective counter to units such as Red Festival Queen Diane, Blue Chandler or Green Sariel. It also makes him valuable against Skoll and Hati or Nidhoggr.

**Raining Blades -** Freyr’s signature skill and, overall, the strongest in his arsenal. Deals massive damage with the Cleave multiplier, which prevents this skill from landing a Critical Strike but, in exchange, increases its damage based on Freyr’s Crit Damage.

**Ultimate Move: Sword of the Sun -** His Ultimate Move deals massive damage to one unit, and, thanks to the Death multiplier, deals an extra instance of damage on the selected enemy, which increases based on the Ultimate Move level. If the first hit kills the selected target, the second tick will hit a random unit on the field with up to 100% damage, potentially killing (or at least seriously damaging) the second unit.

**Unique: Divine Flames -** Freyr’s Unique provides some Utility by increasing all his stats by 15% each turn. With enough turns given, Freyr will also increase all his allies’ stats. On top of this, Freyr makes his allies and himself immune to Ignite debuffs.

**Holy Relic: Key of the Vanir Gods -** His Holy Relic further increases his support capabilities by increasing his allies’ basic stats and the damage they deal by 5% for each applicable ally on the battlefield. In this case, this considers allies with the Ragnarok characteristic and Unknown race units.

### Gear Recommendation

Freyr is an outstanding DPS unit, so his equipment should reflect that with an Attack/Crit Damage build. Although this will cause low CC in PVP and might turn him into a glass cannon, HP / Defense is acceptable to ensure he survives in PVP and PVE content.

#### Equipment Set

* Onslaught (Attack) / Congeniality (Crit Damage)

**OR**

* Life (HP) / Iron Wall (Defense)

#### Sub-stats

* Bracer / Ring: Attack
* Necklace / Earrings: Defense
* Belt / Rune: HP

### Usage

Freyr is an excellent choice not only for PVP but also for PVE, including endgame content such as Demonic Beast Battles.

#### PVP

Freyr shines in a Ragnarok/Unknown team, the team including Red Tyr, Dark Queen Hel, or Green Echidna, and Blue Nanashi in the backline. The synergy of these Unknown units provides huge basic teams to one of the other making for one tanky and hard-hitting team.

#### PVE

On the other hand, in PVE, Freyr is an excellent choice when facing the most challenging content, such as the late stages of Story Mode and Demonic Beast Battle (being useful in Eikthyrnir, Skoll and Hati, and even Nidhoggr). Since Freyr doesn’t have any restrictions to what team and content he can be used in he is a perfect choice to slot into any team / fight.

**Death Match:** Freyr is an excellent choice for Hell difficulties of Howlex and Original Demon; together with Red Summer Diane and another good red hero of a different race (or an extra DPS as long as your ally brings his Gowther), he can quickly kill those enemies.

**Hraesvelgr:** Although he helps by increasing stats and making his allies immune to Hraesvelgr’s Ignites he can be a good choice as a DPS. With the help of Freyr’s death ultimate, it can assist in hitting pass damage cap and revival on the boss.

**Eikthyrnir:** Red Freyr is an ideal choice for Eikthyrnir due to the color rotation featured in this fight. Also, the length of the battle allows Freyr’s Unique to unleash his full potential. He will also make allies immune to Ignite if you get the Demonic Beast passive that applies Ignites when it uses its stances.

**Skoll and Hati:** Freyr’s Unique will prevent Skoll from placing Ignite debuffs on all your units. Also, his high damage, along with the increase in stats, makes him a great support for this fight.

**Nidhoggr:** If lacking better choices, Freyr can be helpful in a Patience team along with Blue Fairy King Harlequin, Green Valenti, and Blue Ban to beat floor 1 of Nidhoggr if you don’t have his Holy Relic. On the other hand, once he gets it, he can be an outstanding option for all three floors, especially on the Ragnarok team along with Red Freyja, Red Skadi, and Red Megellda.

Overall, Red Freyr is a versatile unit that helps in several aspects of the teams he’s part of. A great unit that remains relevant in different parts of the game.
