Nótt is a character from Book V of Fire Emblem Heroes. She is the elder twin sister of Dagr and the eldest princess of the Kingdom of Jötunheimr.
Profile[]
Three years before the events of Book V, Nótt and Dagr were told by their mother that they had to fight each other in order to prove who was greater in order to inherit the throne. Dagr refused, for she didn't want to turn against her own sister. Nótt however, readily complied, knowing that it was the Queen's orders and to know if she herself was worthy enough to ascend the throne.
Dagr was furious with Nótt for siding against her on the matter, despite herself not being pleased about it either, and simply replying that 'strength in competition is how the Queen of Jötunheimr has been selected for generations.' After this event, Dagr avoided and refused to speak to Nótt, though later accepted the situation even if the sisters have kept their distance since then.
Years later, after reminiscing about the events that took place then, Nótt noted how strong she has gotten, looking forward to the match against each other in order to settle the matter once and for all.
As the Order of Heroes reaches Barnstokkr, Dagr points out that on their way to Nótt, she hasn't seen a single Jötunheimr soldier in the forts leading up to the castle, and then figures out that Nótt never intended to give Gramr to the Order of Heroes, and sets up an ambush for them instead. Capturing Kiran, she hands both them and Gramr over to Ótr, who manipulated her by promising to marry her.
After her defeat at Dagr's hands, despite cooperating with Ótr to give him both Gramr and the Summoner and turning her blade against her sister and the Order of Heroes while knowing that she was being manipulated but still love-struck with him, Dagr brushes over that and asks Nótt to aid the Order of Heroes to compensate instead, which she agrees to since she deeply regrets her foolish actions.
After returning to Askr, Nótt proposes to prepare a meal for the order of heroes to apologize for what she has done to them and to the summoner. She comments that the Summoner is very kind to forgive her so easily, as she begins to admire them.
After Fáfnir is forcefully turned into a dragon by Eitri, the Order of Heroes eventually make their way into the castle of Niðavellir where Fáfnir awaits. While the group have the advantage in numbers, Fáfnir manages to deal heavy blows to the group. At one point, Dagr was about to be caught the attacks but Nótt manages to push her sister out of the way, taking the fatal blow instead. Nótt then tells her sister to take the throne of Jötunheimr and succumbs to her wounds, causing Dagr to break down in tears as she claims that she needs her.
Personality[]
Unlike her younger sister, Nótt is much calmer and tends to reason first rather than attacking, with Sharena commenting that she's the complete opposite of Dagr. However, Nótt is also very naïve regarding romance and can easily fall in love with handsome men. This makes her easy prey for manipulation and deception, which is such a flaw to the point that she is easily exploited while knowing that she is being manipulated.

Base Set[]
Nótt shares a lot of traits with her sister Dagr, but her main difference is that she is a Infantry Lance Mythic Hero with a Dark Blessing. While Dagr is focused on helping the player during Aether Raids offense, Nótt helps the player's Aether Raids defense as she allows an additional character to be deployed during a dark season. With a base 41 Atk and 40 Spd, she carries a strong offensive presence on her own in exchange for rather average mixed bulk of 68 physical and 67 magical. Beyond just her base stats, she is even stronger thanks in part to a strong base skill set. The most important is of course her weapon.
Hrímfaxi not only gives her a flat +3 Spd boost to her stats, but if she starts combat with at least 25% of her maximum health, she has +5 to her four core stats in combat plus she doubles any visible stat buffs she has received. Much like Skinfaxi, Hrímfaxi also has【Pathfinder】, which causes any ally that moves through the space Nótt occupies to not use a point of their movement, thus making the range of some problematic Aether Raids consume even the entire map itself if she is positioned correctly. Caution should be taken when she is on the enemy team as she can deceptively hide just how much range her teammates have.
Moon-Twin Wing inflicts -5 Atk/Spd if she starts combat with at least 25% of her maximum HP. In addition, if her Spd is greater than her foes, she reduces the damage based on the difference between the two x4, maximizing at a 40%.
Dragon Fang boosts her Atk by 50% which can be a sizeable increase. Distant Counter allows Nótt to counter enemies who attack from range. Atk/Spd Menace inflicts -6 Atk/Spd onto the foes closest to her at the start of her turn if she is also within four spaces of a foe. Depending on her foe's positions, she can inflict multiple enemies if they are all within the same range. Also under the same conditions, she gains +6 Atk/Spd as well.
Counters[]
Nótt is vulnerable to Panic, which shuts down both Hrímfaxi and Moon-Twin Wing. Fast enough units like Ninja Hana, Legendary Male Byleth, and even her own sister can outright ignore Moon-Twin Wing's damage reduction unless either she has received enough buffs or they are debuffed enough to force them below her reasonably high Spd. Brave weapon effects can also just outright double her with little worry about the first attack's damage reduction such as Ninja Lyn and Ninja Female Corrin.
Skill Inheritance[]
Nótt's assist skill is the only empty slot she has and Reposition is the best skill in general for utility, though in Aether Raids defense, this may not be desired as much. Moonbow is also worth considering rather than Dragon Fang as the defense ignoring aspect generally has better overall benefits rather than a flat increase to her Atk for her single attack usage of its activation.
