Assets
-
+SPD: Kana (F) has fairly decent Speed, but it can be drastically improved with an Asset when combined with her refined Sun Dragonstone as well as team support.
-
+ATK: Kana (F) has a rather unimpressive Attack stat, so increasing with an Asset is helpful for improving her damage output.
-
+RES: For Aether Raids, a +RES Asset is extremely useful to help mitigate all the magic damage threats, particularly since Kana (F) gets +4 instead of +3 with an Asset.
Flaws
- -HP/-DEF: Kana (F) struggles with pretty much any Flaw because she needs all of her stats, but -HP and -DEF will impact her the least overall.
Skill Sets
Let the Sunshine in! (Mixed Bruiser)
![]() |
Sun Dragonstone (+Eff) | A | Distant Counter |
---|---|---|---|
![]() |
Reposition | B | Null Follow-Up 3 Alternate: Null C-Disrupt 3 |
![]() |
Sol Alternate: Aether |
C | Pulse Smoke 3 Alternate: Atk Smoke 3 |
IVs | S | Swift Stance 2 Alternate: Atk Smoke 3 |
Preferred IV: +SPD or +ATK or +RES / -HP or -DEF
-
The wide versatility of Sun Dragonstone allows Kana (F) to also be versatile with her choice of IVs. However, +RES is ideal for Aether Raids to deal with powerful magic threats like Ophelia.
Weapon: Sun Dragonstone (+Eff)
-
The stat boosts from this weapon are easy to maintain on Enemy Phase, and the Atk/Spd Lull effect is universally strong. Overall, this weapon drastically improves Kana’s combat potential, survivability, and versatility.
Assist: Reposition
Special: Sol / Aether
-
The choice between Sol and Aether is mostly up to preference - Sol will activate more often and therefore offer more sustain, but the extra damage from Aether can be very helpful as Kana (F) sometimes lacks damage due to her poor base 30 Attack.
Passive A: Distant Counter
-
Despite Distant Counter not working on Player Phase, it’s still a vital skill for Kana (F) with this build because the vast majority of her power lies in Enemy Phase due her weapon’s stat boosts being much easier to activate that way.
Passive B: Null Follow-Up / Null C-Disrupt
-
Both Null Follow-Up and Null C-Disrupt are exceptionally powerful in Aether Raids, where they both neutralize significant threats. The choice between the two is entirely up to player preference.
Passive C: Pulse Smoke / Atk Smoke
-
Pulse Smoke is an incredibly powerful skill as it can single-handedly shut down Infantry Pulse-based defense teams in Aether Raids.
-
If Pulse Smoke is unavailable, then Atk Smoke is a good budget option for increasing Kana’s overall survivability.
Sacred Seal: Swift Stance / Atk Smoke / Quick Riposte
-
Swift Stance is a fantastic Seal, as Speed and Resistance are both key stats that Kana (F) needs, particularly for Aether Raids.
-
Atk Smoke is a decent alternative if not using it as a C skill as well.
-
Quick Riposte isn’t particularly necessary with the right team support, but can be useful to help Kana (F) secure doubles against faster enemies.
Classic Lightning (Defensive Tank)

Aether | C | Pulse Smoke 3 Alternate: Atk Smoke 3 |
IVs | S | Swift Stance 2 Alternate: Quick Riposte 3 |
Preferred IV: +SPD or +ATK or +RES / -HP or -DEF
-
Unlike the Sun Dragonstone, utilizing refined Lightning Breath heavily incentivizes Kana (F) to utilize a defensive setup. However, all the same IV combinations can be utilized to good effect even with a defensive setup.
Weapon: Lightning Breath+ (+Spd/+Def/+Res)
-
Lightning Breath allows Kana (F) to forgo utilizing Distant Counter, allowing her to run a skill that accelerates her Specials such as Steady Breath.
-
The choice of refine is mostly up to preference. +Spd is ideal when stacking Speed (as with a +SPD Asset), while +Def or +Res can be utilized to either balance Kana’s defenses or focus her on either physical or magical tanking ability.
Assist: Reposition
Special: Aether
-
Thanks to the Special charge acceleration from skills like Steady Breath, it’s relatively easy for Kana (F) to charge a high cooldown Special like Aether, which serves the dual purpose of granting her additional damage output as well as sustain.
Passive A: Fierce Breath / Steady Breath / Warding Breath
-
Any of the Breath skills will work well here, as the important component is the accelerated Special charge generation.
Passive B: Null Follow-Up / Null C-Disrupt / Guard / Quick Riposte
-
Null Follow-Up and Null C-Disrupt are always strong options for a tank unit due to the wide variety of strong threats they can completely shut down; the choice between the two is entirely based on preference.
-
Guard or Quick Riposte are also good budget options. Note that Quick Riposte is far more useful with Lightning Breath compared to the Sun Dragonstone due to Kana (F) potentially having to deal with significantly faster opponents.
Passive C: Pulse Smoke / Atk Smoke
-
Pulse Smoke is an incredibly powerful skill as it can single-handedly shut down Infantry Pulse-based defense teams in Aether Raids.
-
If Pulse Smoke is unavailable, then Atk Smoke is a good budget option for increasing Kana’s overall survivability.
Sacred Seal: Swift Stance / Atk Smoke / Quick Riposte
-
Swift Stance is a fantastic Seal, as Speed and Resistance are both key stats that Kana (F) needs, particularly for Aether Raids.
-
Atk Smoke is a decent alternative if not using it as a C skill as well.
-
Quick Riposte isn’t particularly necessary with the right team support, but can be useful to help Kana (F) secure doubles against faster enemies.
Introduction
While Kana (F) has always been somewhat of a sidegrade to Fae, her access to Sun Dragonstone greatly increased her overall potential. The raw stat boosts (which are easy to access just by fighting on Enemy Phase, where she already excels) and built-in Atk/Spd Lull effect grant her a huge boost in combat capability. Unfortunately, this does mean that she desperately needs to be given Distant Counter in order to be able to tackle the wide variety of threats that she’s capable of handling.
As a 5 star exclusive unit, Kana (F) will always have the distinction of being fairly difficult to invest heavily in for the majority of players. However, given the right investment, Kana (F) is quite a powerful unit that can excel in pretty much any game mode.
Strengths
Sun Dragonstone
Combining the raw stat boosts (which can potentially work on either phase, though they’re much easier and consistent on Enemy Phase) with Atk/Spd Lull gives Kana (F) a huge effective boost to her overall combat potential.
Infantry Dragon
As an infantry dragon, Kana (F) has access to a wide variety of powerful options like Null Follow-Up and Null C-Disrupt as well as the potent adaptive damage trait of dragon breath weapons.
Weaknesses
Anti-Dragon Weapons
The increasingly large number of anti-dragons available in Fire Emblem Heroes is concerning for those looking to invest in Kana (F) for the long term, as no matter how much stats she gains she will always have to be wary of those with anti-dragon weaponry.
High Investment
As a 5 star exclusive unit, Kana (F) is already in a difficult spot in terms of obtaining merges and optimal IVs, but she also needs a lot of premium skill inheritance such as Distant Counter or Null Follow-Up/Null C-Disrupt to excel.

S | Flashing Blade 3 |
Standard Dark Breath+ debuffer build. One edge Dark Breath+ with DC, Windsweep and Flashing Blade has over Lightning Breath+ with Steady/Warding Breath, Windsweep and Atk+Spd Smoke is that Dark Breath+ basically frees up both the C-slot and Seal for anything else, while getting faster Special charges with Flashing Blade (which works on both phases, unlike Steady/Warding Breath).
Aether for sustaining, DC for landing debuffs on ranged units, Windsweep for safe debuffing, and anything goes for the Assist and C-slot.

Female Kana is a great tank!
With this build, she can hit up to 48 atk/42 spd/47 def/30 res on enemy phase! (neutral IVs)
Support skill: The point of this build is to have her next to another ally, so a rally skill fits her well.
B slot: Up to your choice. I think vantage and desperation are good options too!
C slot: Goad Dragons is optimal if you run her with another dragons, but you can use whatever you want as well.

Seal: Phantom Speed 3
Although most dragons are built for enemy phase, Kana has the benefit of being able to run high speed builds. While it is not uncommon to see answers to M Grima and therefore answers to F Kana, she can safely run something M Grima can’t. Windsweep. Using the refined buff effects of Light Breath paired with Windsweep, F Kana will be sweeping any melee unit with less than 47 spd while buffing herself and allies by 5 to all stats for an incredibly potent enemy phase with a statline of 45/49/42/38/31 and applying Atk Smoke on top of any in combat buffs from stance skills.

Light Breath+ (+Spd) | A | Swift Sparrow 2 |
---|---|---|---|
![]() |
Swap | B | Desperation 3 |
![]() |
Bonfire | C | Goad Dragons |
S | Speed +3 |
The idea is for her to initiate and let Light Breath buff her stats by +5. This then opens up several options; she can be danced and go on the offensive, likely in Desperation range and with an 18 damage Bonfire ready; she is better set to tank on the enemy phase; she can be swapped/repositioned by a Light Breath buffed enemy phase ally.
She's greatly helped by an ally running Goad/Ward Dragons or Drive skills to help after Light Breath's buffs. Backup in the forms of an anti-red, in particular an anti-Falchion, unit like her alternate realm mother or Nowi who can give her dragon buffs or a bulky lance with Drives, though Kana should run something different for her C skill if not supported by dragons.
Dark Breath is also an option to debuff the enemy rather than buff herself and her allies. Ideal IVs would be +Spd -Res to capitalise on what sets her apart from her green sisters.

Reposition | B | Shield Pulse 3 |

Sacred Cowl | C | Spd Smoke 3 |
S | Squad Ace I 3 |
You ever see that Shield Pulse Corrin vid? That's basically what this is, but it's Kana. Or as I like to call her, my Discount Fae. Water Breath is one of the better Breaths imo because of its damage reduction. So I thought of the Shield Pulse build and thought, 'What if I could reduce even more damage from distant enemies?', and so I made this build. Yeah, -spd isn't the best bane for Kana, but a seal and Water Breath refine patches it up fine. A solid 37 Spd allows her to avoid doubles and maybe double by herself, meaning she doesn't need QR. Plus DC helps a lot because Lighting Breath is weaker and isn't worth it since Water Breath is crucial to this build.
