If using Mirror Impact, she should use Glacies, as she will have 48 Resistance, but only 38 Defense on initiation. Whichever one is chosen should correspond with which Impact skill Flora is using if using Sturdy Impact, she should use Ignis, as she will have 48 Defense, but only 38 Resistance on initiation. Alternatives to Ruptured Sky are Ignis and Glacies, with the former granting bonus damage equal to 80% of FloraвЂ™s Defense and the latter equal to 80% of FloraвЂ™s Resistance.While they both grant +6 Attack, the former grants +10 Defense while the latter grants +10 Resistance typically, Sturdy Impact is preferred because a majority of superunits are physical. Sturdy and Mirror Impact are FloraвЂ™s best A slots, as they grant stats and follow-up prevention on initiation.Rally Assists are strong as well, as Defense Keeps can set up Rally Traps that force Flora to move towards the enemy to Rally an ally whose danger zone reaches the enemy, then receive a refresh to catch the enemy by surprise. Flora prefers no Assist Skill because her movement will be prioritized above allies without Assist Skills, meaning she can receive a refresh if she survives her initiation to initiate again.Granted, Null Follow-Up is very common on superunits, but against those that do not have Null Follow-Up, the guaranteed follow-up attack is fantastic. If she fails to OHKO on her first Ruptured Sky, the enemy will counterattack, and assuming no Guard effect is active, Flora will activate Ruptured Sky a second time. Finally, FloraвЂ™s guaranteed follow-up attack if the enemy can counterattack makes her an incredibly potent damage dealer.The Guard effect further increases FloraвЂ™s presence as a threat if the enemy uses a healing Special, their healing is delayed, while if the enemy uses a damaging Special, they may fail to ORKO Flora.

The +20 Defense and -5 Atk/Def effectively grants Flora +5 Atk/Res and +25 Defense, springing her defenses from 18/38 to 43/43.

Ruptured Sky is the strongest 2-cooldown Special for Flora, as it grants bonus damage equal to 20% of the enemyвЂ™s Attack (or 40% if they are a Beast or Dragon) most superunits invest heavily into Attack, and Ruptured Sky works especially well against everyoneвЂ™s favorite meta unit, Fallen Edelgard. Because Hoarfrost Knife has a constant Slaying effect (-1 Special cooldown), this means the maximum cooldown for what are usually 2-cooldown Specials is actually 1 Flora will thus have her Special ready at the start of every turn, and the only way that can be removed is if Pulse Smoke is applied after FloraвЂ™s turn begins, but before Flora initiates. TimeвЂ™s Pulse grants Flora -1 Special cooldown at the start of her turn if her Special is at its maximum cooldown.Hoarfrost KnifeвЂ™s numerous effects make Flora a dangerous Aether Raids Defense threat that, unlike many other Aether Raids Defense nukes, can survive initiations and receive refreshes to continue her onslaught.Sacred Seal: Hardy Bearing / Sturdy Blow / Mirror Strike
