Skills:

Notable Weapons (might):

• Iron Sword (6)
• Steel Sword (8)

Durandal is a strong weapon as it grants Eliwood ATK+4 during combat if he initiates the attack.

Special Skills:

• Sacred Cowl

Both Holy Vestments and Sacred Cowl can reduce the attacks inflicted by foes 2
tiles away by 30%. However, the Sacred Cowl only has a charge cost of 2 and the other has 3.

Passives Skills:

If Eliwood’s HP is equal or greater than (90% / 70% / 50%) a follow-up attack and the foe cannot.

• Ward Cavalry

This skill grants Cavalry allies DEF/RES +4 while the combat is on-going.

Eliwood | Final Evaluation:

As you can only pull Eliwood as a 4★ max and have to spend Hero Feathers to make him 5★, he gets a thumbs down. Although, his weapon Durandal is looking beautiful, it is character locked and you can not use it in Inherit Skill.

The only use for Eliwood if you pull him is the probability of having him as a bonus character after the Grand Hero Battle: Michalis. His Sacred Cowl is useful too in Inherit Skill.

Durandal is unlockable at 5★ for 400 SP. Sacred Cowl is at 200 SP and unlocks at 4★.
