Is Brave Edelgard good?

Armored axe user who doesn't move like one. While she's above 25% HP, Flower Hauteclere gives her an extra space and a warp to allies within 2 spaces, and Black Eagle Rule grants guaranteed follow-ups and cuts the damage of enemy follow-ups by 80% on enemy phase.

Distant Ward lets her counter mages, staff users and dragons from any range with a stat boost, so magic teams have a hard time with her. Everything hinges on that HP threshold, though, and her 16 base Spd means she gets doubled constantly.

Strengths

  • Armor that moves two spaces and warps
  • Guaranteed follow-ups without needing Spd
  • Enemy follow-ups hit her 80% softer
  • Counters magic at any range
  • Joint Drive Res raises nearby allies' Res

Weaknesses

  • Loses mobility and most combat effects below 25% HP
  • Low Spd lets foes double her and charge their Specials
  • Null Follow-Up 3 shuts off her guaranteed follow-ups
  • Armor-effective weapons like Armorslayer+ can one-shot her
