Why Reinhardt and Selena work together

Reinhardt's Burst, Battlemania, hits one troop (factor 9,500 at max, 11,500 awakened) and gives his troop one random buff for 5 seconds: Bloodlust (normal attacks heal), Fervor (+40% rage buildup) or Breakthrough (ignore 24% DEF). Awakening adds a fourth buff, Combo (50% chance of an extra normal attack, once per round). Seize the Initiative can grant the same buffs from normal attacks (20% chance at max), and Battle Fervor turns each active buff into +5% march speed and ATK, up to +25%. Forceful Strike adds +50% damage to Blackforged.

Selena's Mistsplitter Arrow (factor 7,800) cuts the target's ATK and speed by 30% for 2 seconds. Phantom Assault gives Cavalry +25% ATK and +12% speed, Gift of the Predator adds +15% Cavalry HP and +30% damage to Blackforged, and Engineered Revival heals comrades (more with Erin in the troop). Awakened, she gains 50 rage per skill.

Key skills at max level

Reinhardt

  • Battlemania (Burst): Deals high damage to the target troop and grants his troop one random buff for 5 seconds: Bloodlust (normal attacks heal lightly wounded soldiers), Fervor (more rage buildup) or Breakthrough (normal attacks ignore part of the target's DEF). Each buff stacks once; repeats refresh it. Costs 1,000 rage; gains up to 160 rage per round.
  • Forceful Strike (Passive): Deals additional damage to Blackforged.
  • Battle Fervor (Passive): Increases march speed and ATK for each buff on his troop, up to a cap.

Selena

  • Mistsplitter Arrow (Burst): Strikes the target and cuts its ATK and movement speed for 2 seconds.
  • Phantom Assault (Passive): Raises ATK and movement speed of Cavalry soldiers.
  • Engineered Revival (Passive): Normal attacks have a 20% chance to heal comrades' lightly wounded soldiers; healing received rises if Erin is in the troop.
