High investment No Cheap Tactics

Lightning Breath+  Dance  Moonbow Traits: Flexible  Distant Def 3  Quick Riposte 3  Flexible  HP +5 / Close Def 3

Click to show/hide build description  A build to mitigate most forms of ranged damage. This build can challenge all non-green ranged units. Nagas and Activated Bladetomes will still OTK, but other than that, Ninian because a potent enemy phase threat.

Optimal Arena High investment Infantry Infantry Pulse Ninian

Light Breath+ (Spd)  Dance  Moonbow / Luna Traits: +Atk, +Spd, +HP , +Res/ -Def  Fury 3 / Triangle Adept 3  Wings of Mercy 3 / Escape Route 3  Infantry Pulse 3  Hone Atk 3 / HP +5

Click to show/hide build description  Infantry Pulse allows Ninian to utilize her HP pool as she has the highest HP potential out of all the dancers. I use this set for my Ninian and it goes well with an all infantry team, allowing them to proc special. Summoner Support definitely helps with this. Hone Atk 3 is the seal I use as it allows her to offer a bit of support whilst also dancing, but Hp+5 can also work if needed.

Optimal All-purpose High investment Powerful Ninian

Light Breath+ (Atk)  Dance  Moonbow / Draconic Aura Traits: +Atk/-Def  Triangle Adept 3  Lancebreaker 3 / Swordbreaker 3  Threaten Res 3  Attack +3 / Speed +3

Click to show/hide build description  This is the set I use on my Ninian, I do use Summoner support and the new Upgraded Light Breath+ with 16 might, making her attack go even higher (16 might instead of 13), With summoner support, upgraded Light Breath and atk 3 seal, Ninian reaches 49 Atk and 35 spd, which is great considering her normal stats.

Creative Arena Medium investment A Bladetome's Best Friend

Light Breath+  Dance  Ignis / Aether Traits: +Spd/-Atk  Close Def 3 / Steady Breath  Windsweep 3  Spur Atk 3  Phantom Spd 3

Click to show/hide build description  This build is about making Ninian the best pure buff unit for infantry bladetome users in the game. With the new Light Breath+ forged options she now buffs all units within 2 tiles for +5 to all Stats. However, she's an extremely fragile unit, with a poor defensive stat line even with good IV's. This build is made to abuse her new buffs while negating all her downsides. Windsweep 3 + Phantom Spd 3 allows her to prevent any non dragonstone/close counter unit below 46 speed (49 with +Speed Weapon) from counter attacking. Close defense allows her to reach a more respectable defensive line of 34 defense and 38 res against melee units while her buffs are active. (Which they should be at all times most matches) However, that's still a good falchion hit or two away from an early end, so ideally all of her allies should be running spur defense 3 so when they're all adjacent to her, her defense skyrockets to a whopping 46 (50 with a +Defense weapon). This defense means she shrugs off most physical attackers with the exception of triangle adept green units. To utilize this incredible defense you want to have Ignis as your special as it makes it a significant threat to attempt to remove her from the battlefield as too many attempts likely means a dead unit.

Optimal High investment Infantry Doubled Dancing Dragon Ninian

Lightning Breath+ (Def)  Dance  Aether Traits: +Atk/-Def  Bonus Doubler 3  Wings of Mercy 3 / Wrath 1  Infantry Pulse 3 / Flexible  Attack/Def +2

Alternative All-purpose High investment Defensive Dancing

Water Breath+ (Spd)  Dance  Escutcheon / Sacred Cowl Traits: +Spd/-Atk  Steady Posture 2  Wings of Mercy 3  Drive Spd 2 / Flexible  Swift Stance 2

Click to show/hide build description  This build is pretty budget, and it completely discards the idea of Ninian voluntarily entering combat. It functions only when Ninian ends up falling into the line of fire, stacking as much Spd on her as possible to stop her from being doubled as well as giving her a bit of extra bulk. 【 Weapon 】  Water Breath+ gives her an immediate Def/Res+4 on enemy phase, and while you could refine it for Def or Res, refining it for Spd is actually a better defence; the fewer doubles Ninian suffers, the healthier she'll be. 【 Assist 】  Dance, obviously. You certainly don't ask Ninian for a mere  Swap. 【 Special 】  Escutcheon or  Sacred Cowl are both equally valid choices. It just depends on which type of damage you'd like to reduce: melee or ranged. Either way, a damage-reducing Special will help keep her alive as long as possible. 【 Skills & Seals 】  Steady Posture 2 as her A skill paired with  Swift Stance 2 as her Seal gives her Spd+8 on enemy initiation, with Def/Res+4 to shore up her defences.  Wings of Mercy 3 is nearly a necessity on a dancer, especially one who plans to ignore all combat in favour of pure support.  Drive Spd 2 is there to help that support along, but could be replaced with any supportive skill that suits her team's needs. Ninian's native  Fortify Dragons would serve her well on a Dragon Emblem team. — Posted by Reddazrael (talk) 03:50, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
