I made a body and gender swap, enjoy this AMAB Laegjarn redesign!

I didn’t think it was necessary to adapt their name since Laegjarn is the name of a mythological object and not related to a gender.

Do you know what heppens when you put Laegjarn's and Hrid's art next to each other?

Laegjarn: New Experiences

Summary:

Laegjarn is a really popular unit, getting her for free with chill defence built into her weapon, and chill res, along with good stats?! This is a great opportunity to add another unit to your team, who would have thought that Camus 2.0 would actually be coming as a new years unit.

Without Skill Inheritance:

With a pretty nice 35 defence and 35 speed, Laegjarn can be built to either maximise one of these stats and ignore the other, or she can just be gratefully accepted as a solid support unit due to her def/res chill. 

I personally love the fact she can easily become a mixed range tank thanks to us all now being able to get up to 10 spare Berkuts.

With Skill Inheritance:

Laegjarn goes from being a slightly weaker version of Camus to being an actual demon, it’s honestly terrifying to see what the possibilities are for her. 

With dual atk/def bond and chill atk you can easily have an effective 62 defence, that’s without buffs. Running brazen skills you can easily have 52 def and 30 res, that’s some solid bulk for a ‘low res’ unit.

Strengths:

Laegjarn is a free unit, this means that eventually you can +10 her, no orbs needed!

Laegjarn is blue, so she ca take on a lot of the scary strong red enemies like her sister. 

Cavalry units are still some of the best in the game, with excellent mobility and well-rounded stats, cavaliers are some of the strongest opponents you’ll face, and have always been prominent in the meta.

Weaknesses:

You’re gonna be waiting for a good while to +10 her, given that they’re only just adding units like Azura to heroic grails, and you’ll still have to actually earn enough grails to summon another 9 Laegjarns.

She’s not gonna be able to do much to green foes, even though she has solid attack and defence, enemies like Fae and Surtr will literally make mincemeat of her, she just can’t touch them! She’s versatile but she’s not a god.

The builds that make her good are really high investment, if you don’t absolutely adore her then you might as well focus on someone else, I think that the brazen set is a good low-cost option for you, but it’s still a rare skill.

Build Suggestions:

Brazen Budget:

Double brazen is a pretty common sight since Ares got demoted, getting an extra 14 attack and 7 def/res really helps Laegjarn ascend and doesn’t require as many premium skills, don’t forget that quick riposte 2 is a great substitute if you have a strict budget.

Horse Lukas:

So stealing from her father, Laegjarn can gave truly inhuman defence, with guard and an extra 13 defence when considering her skills, as well as an effective +12 attack, Laegjarn becomes an efficient powerhouse, you could swap out her B slot for renewal if you want to make her even harder to kill, but I like to guarantee some double hits.

Thicc Princess:

Muspel’s contract is literally just the Omelas metaphor. Its whole thing is that this entire country — down to the very land that sustains it — is reliant on this endless series of sacrifices for the good of the whole, with people being sent away every so often as the next batch of Muspel Soul Food so that its roots can continue to stay strong and the country can continue to survive. An entire country sustaining itself off of the sacrifices of individuals — in a story that literally has one of its main themes being a critique of utilitarianism and the assertion that sacrificing one person for the good of the whole is a Bad Thing, does that not seem weird to anyone else?

And also, like, the truth of Muspel’s contract came up ONCE, and in the same scene we get Vincent basically turning to the camera and saying, “We can never let Emilia or Subaru find out about this, because they would never accept such a wicked truth.” And then it literally never comes up again throughout the entirety of Arc 8.
