“I am a dökkálfr from the realm of dark dreams...the dreams you wish to forget on waking. I am Triandra. I am Nightmare.”
—Triandra, Book IV, Chapter 2

Triandra is a character from Book IV of Fire Emblem Heroes. She is a Dökkálfr from Dökkálfheimr.

Profile[]

Triandra, as said in her profile, is a cold and distant young dökkálfr. She has devoted herself to the service of Freyja after she rescued her in the past.

Before meeting Freyja, Triandra and her younger sister were badly mistreated by their father who barely fed them, made them dress in rags and did not allow them inside their house even in winter. Triandra did her best to protect her sister, and at some point murdered their evil father in order to save her life. She was found and made into a dökkálfr by Freyja some time later.

In Chapter 12 of Book IV, it's revealed that Triandra's sister is actually Peony. She laments how she wanted to protect her sister from their father before engaging the Order of Heroes one last time. The Order manages to deal Triandra a fatal blow, and she recalls the time she and Peony spent together before she dies.

At the end of Book IV Chapter 13, Freyja uses the last of her power to revive Triandra and Plumeria. Triandra and Plumeria then decide to find a way to revive Freyja from her slumber when they are approached by Líf and Thrasir for reasons yet unknown.

Personality[]

Contrary to her ljósálfr counterpart, Triandra is a pessimistic, deadpan dökkálfr who brings nightmares.

She is exceedingly loyal to Freyja, as even when she remembers her mortal life, she chooses to give her all for her sake.

Despite her status as a villain, Triandra has a strong moral compass, with a desire to do good. One of her stated motivations as a child was to save the world and protect everyone. During her New Years event appearance, she laments that nightmares are usually not welcome, and Peony responds to her concern by saying that nightmare powers can still be helpful.

Triandra also appears to possess an amount of self-loathing due to her past failures and the fact that she only brings suffering upon humans. She states that she does not believe she deserves kindness from others and that they would be right to despise her.

Base Set[]

Triandra is the fourth and final refreshing unit to come from the Book IV original characters, and much like the others, she immediately has powerful applications for teams. She is a Green Tome Dark Mythic Flier mostly suited for scoring on Aether Raids teams, but she can be used in other modes if needed where scoring is not affected by her Mythic status. Statwise, Triandra is offensively strong, sitting on neutral 37 Atk and 38 Spd. While she may not have the highest damage, both stats are strong enough to give her flexibility in being a supportive unit or a second string offensive unit. In exchange, she has low overall bulk at 16 Def and 22 Res, making her extremely fragile. While she may be another refresher, like the other Book IV dancers, her unique refreshing skill gives her a special niche.
Flower of Sorrow grants her an innate +3 Atk, bringing her total neutral Atk to 54. If she enters combat, she inflicts -4 Def/Res on all foes within the cardinal directions of her, not only setting up her foe so she can inflict more damage, but also weakening them so her allies can dispatch any that she cannot do herself.
Her unique dance, Frightful Dream, refreshes an ally that she uses on. When used, it also inflicts 【Guard】on foes within the four cardinal directions, slowing the charge of their specials while inflicting an additional -3 to their four core stats.
Atk/Spd Push grants her +7 Atk/Spd at the start of combat so long as her HP is at least 25%. After combat, she takes 5 points of non-lethal damage as recoil however. Aerobatics allows her to move to any adjacent tile next to an ally Infantry, Cavalry, or Armor within two spaces. Spd/Res Rein inflicts -4 Spd/Res to foes within two spaces of her during combat.

Counters[]

Triandra suffers from her low defenses which makes her especially vulnerable on her enemies turn where they can get the first strike on her. Bows are especially overkill as her innate weakness to them due to being a Flier means that any who gets the first strike on her is instantly going to kill her. Reds with strong magical bulk like Winter Tharja, Plumeria, and Flora can easily soak her damage and counter through color advantage.

Skill Inheritance[]

Triandra is only missing a Special skill, of which Glimmer is a decent consideration to take any visible buffs she may receive and turn them into further power.
