To ensure warmth for its head in cold environments, its crown is covered in soft downy feathers. When huddling together for warmth, it uses its beak to groom its companion's head feathers. One theory suggests this behavior of tucking its beak into a companion's plumage serves to conserve body heat.

Recommended Skill Sets
Extreme speed first-move burst build
Playstyle
Open with "Riding the Wind" to seize speed priority, then leverage speed advantage to trigger "Blitz" and "Fanning" for first-strike damage boosts. Use "Tornado" for burst finisher when countering enemy status skills, while stacking combo count throughout to increase attack frequency.
Why this set works
Maximize 125 high base Speed and 'Wind Riding Combo' trait: 'Wind Riding' ensures absolute first strike, dual priority burst skills 'Flash Strike' and 'Fan Wind' pressure HP, 'Tornado' cleans up. Full Wing-type skills continuously trigger trait combo stacking, forming Speed-Combo-Burst positive cycle
Blitz
Why pick this skill
Core damage skill with significantly increased Power when having Speed advantage. Combined with trait "Riding Wind Combo" to stack Combo Hits, extremely high returns at high Speed.
Ride the Wind
Why pick this skill
Key Speed boost skill: +120 Speed ensures turn priority, providing trigger conditions for "Flash Strike," "Fanning" and other skills while triggering Trait combo stacking.
Fanning Wind
Why pick this skill
+50% Power when acting first, forms dual-priority burst combo with "Flash Strike", 75 Energy but considerable returns, trait can stack additional combos.
Tornado
Why pick this skill
Swift trait ensures priority, 1.5x power in Counter state. Combines finishing and countering capabilities, triggering trait to stack Combo.
Combo Stacking Suppression Build
Playstyle
Turn 1 stack Combo + Physical Attack with 'Triple Break', turn 2 continue stacking Combo with 'Gale Thrust', then harvest with 'Tornado' at high Combo count. Relies on moving first but lacks speed buffs—requires predicting enemy speed.
Why this set works
Centered on Triple Break for stacking combos and Physical ATK, Gale Thrust for low-cost high-combo pressure, and Tornado for cleanup. However, Triple Break and Gale Thrust have overlapping functions, and lacking Speed buffs makes this passive against fast opponents, serving only as an alternative.
Triple Break
Why pick this skill
Core combo initiation skill. 3 combo hits with trait "Riding Wind Combo" directly grants +1 combo, rapidly stacking combo count.
Triple Break
Why pick this skill
Physical Attack +30% boost with 3-hit combo, significantly increasing subsequent damage base, 0 Energy cost with no loss on activation
Gale Stab
Why pick this skill
3-hit combo when acting first (4-hit after trait +1), considerable total damage under high combo count, low 25 Energy cost.
Tornado
Why pick this skill
1.5x power and Swiftness when countering status. As a finisher and counter measure, damage transforms after combo stacking.
Sustained Buff Speed Attack Build
Playstyle
Turn 1 activate buffs with 'Molt Acceleration', turn 2 use 'Quick Move' to patch speed or counter defense, follow with 'Blitz' for damage, 'Tornado' to counter enemy status skills. Relies on sustained buffs rather than one-time burst to win.
Why this set works
Through dual status skills 「Molt Acceleration」「Quick Move」 to build a lasting buff system, 「Flash Strike」 maximizes speed bonuses, 「Tornado」 for counter harvesting. Compared to extreme speed builds, slower to start but with lasting power, suitable against opponents requiring prolonged battles.
Eclosion Acceleration
Why pick this skill
+20 to all skill power and Swiftness, permanent buff boosting overall damage, Swiftness ensures priority move order.
Quick Move
Why pick this skill
Speed +80 (+160 when responding to Defense), compensates for speed needs without "Riding Wind," improving survivability

Tornado
Why pick this skill
1.5x power when countering status. As a counter and finisher measure, enjoying power bonus from [Eclosion Acceleration].
Notes
- Royal Griffin (Highland Form) is a Wing-type physical attacker with high Speed. Its trait 'Riding Wind Combo' grants +1 combo count after using Wing-type skills; the core strategy revolves around speed suppression and combo stacking.
- Base stats: Speed 125 and Physical Attack 110 stand out, but both defenses are low. Must rely on first strike pressure or status buffs to compensate for survival.
- Skill pool focuses on Wing-type Physical damage, with Speed buffs, power amplification, and multi-hit mechanics. Lacks recovery and defensive options. Positioned as a fast sweeper.
