Lilina, Blush of Youth

She got better stat distribution than Cecilia in general. Cecilia is still a little better in my opinion for Gronnraven due to her slightly higher Defense, but anything else Ceclia can do, her student can do better.

LA!Lilina also got the highest Attack out of all the mage ponies, so she is great with Blade-Close Counter-Vantage.

Atk: 32/35/38
Spd: 26/30/33

Gronnraven:
Arena Assault

Spoiler

Nature [+Def, -HP/Spd/Def/Res]

Gronnraven+
Reposition / Swap / [flexible Assist]
Glimmer / Moonbow
Triangle Adept 3
Bowbreaker 3 / Quick Riposte 3
Hone Cavalry / Fortify Cavalry / [flexible C passive]
Defense +3 / Distant Def 3 / Deflect Missile 3 / Quick Riposte 3 / [flexible Sacred Seal]

With Fortify Cavalry, Cecilia can shut down both Reinhardt and BH!Lyn in a single battle.

+Def — Defense +3: This is mandatory against LA!Roy +10 if she is +0 and not using Distant Def 3 or Deflect Missile 3 on her Sacred Seal slot.

Gronnblade:
General use, Arena offense, Arena Assault

Spoiler

Nature [+Atk/Spd, -HP/Def/Res]

Gronnblade+
Reposition
[flexible Special] / Glimmer / Moonbow
Swift Sparrow 3 / Brazen Atk/Spd 3 / Life and Death 3 / Fury 3
Desperation 3 / Axebreaker 3
Hone Cavalry / Fortify Cavalry / [flexible C passive]
Speed +3 / Attack +3 / Brash Assault 3 / Heavy Blade 3 / Quickened Pulse

This is your standard Gronnblade set.

Desperation 3 — Brash Assault 3: If you are consistently able to get her to under 50% HP without trouble, she is guaranteed to double anything that can counter attack her.

Budget:

Darting Blow 3: This gives her the most Speed, however, it does not boost her Attack.

Keen Gronnwolf:
Arena offense

Spoiler

Nature [+Atk/Spd, -Def]

Keen Gronnwolf+ [Special Refinement] / Keen Gronnwolf+ [Attack Refinement] / Keen Gronnwolf+ [Speed Refinement]
[flexible Assist]
Moonbow / [flexible Special]
Swift Sparrow 2 / Fury 3 / Death Blow 3
Desperation 3 / G Tomebreaker 3
Hone Cavalry / Fortify Cavalry / [flexible C passive]
Brash Assault 3 / Attack +3 / Speed +3 / [flexible Sacred Seal]

This Player Phase set allows LA!Lilina to specialize against common cavalry enemies in Arena. If you need an anti-cavalry specialist instead of a high coverage nuke, you may want to consider this build.

+Atk — Death Blow 3 — Attack +3 — Hone Cavalry buff/Hone Attack buff: This allows her to one shot enemy cavalry more easily.

Desperation 3 — Brash Assault 3: Once she manages to get under 50% HP, she will annihilate any cavalry enemy unless it is red and runs Triangle Adept.

Gronnblade — Close Counter — Vantage:
Arena Assault

Spoiler

Nature [+Atk, -HP/Def/Res]

Gronnblade+
Reposition / Swap
Glimmer / Moonbow
Close Counter
Vantage 3
Hone Cavalry / Fortify Cavalry / Savage Blow / [flexible C passive]
Attack +3 / Savage Blow / Heavy Blade 3 / Quickened Pulse

This is your standard Blade-Close Counter-Vantage meme.

 

I cannot really think of a good build utilizing her default Weapon and vanilla skill set. Unlike LA!Roy who has his default skills set up to run Desperation-Brash Assault combo cheaply and easily, LA!Lilina's vanilla skill combo is godawful (Atk Tactic is good though, but C slots by themselves do not usually directly improve a unit's performance). You can run Desperation-Brash Assault on her, but that seems more trouble than it is worth. If you are overhauling her entire skill set anyways, you might as well just give her a Gronnblade instead.
