Flier Formation will still work here if you decide not to take her +Effect refine. This allows her to work as a pseudo-brave unit (with that whopping 59 Attack) after she first takes damage. Her B slot ideally has a typical Desperation, which works particularly well if you're running fury on her. Life and Death or Fury are variants on this that alter her offensive capabilities slightly either by crippling or rounding out her defenses. Swift Sparrow furthers her Attack and Speed potential, allowing her to offer up a crippling 59/46 Attack/Speed before Sacred Seals or buffs come into play (35/35 from a +SPD IV, 39/39 from Spear effect, 43/43 from Swift Sparrow, 43/46 from refining for +SPD, and 59/46 for factoring in actual weapon damage). Either is good depending on your team needs, but as a solo unit, Hinoka benefits more from +SPD than she does from +Effect. In addition to giving her a fantastic +4/+4 Attack/Speed stat boost when close to her allies, she can also take an additional forge boost, giving her more Speed, or an +Effect boost which offers both infantry and flier teammates exceptional mobility when she's on the field supporting them. Hinoka's Spear opened up the door for Hinoka to lift herself head and shoulders above her blue flier competition. Sacred Seal: Spd +3 / Atk +3 / Quickened Pulse.Passive C: Fortify Fliers / Hone Fliers / Varies on Team.Passive B: Desperation / Flier Formation / Hit and Run.Passive A: Swift Sparrow / Life and Death / Fury 3.Weapon: Hinoka's Spear (+Spd) or Hinoka's Spear (+Effect).-RES: is her most ideal bane, unless you anticipate her dueling dragons often.-HP: HP is not necessarily important on Hinoka- her higher Speed will allow her to shrug off a single attack, and you're better off taking an HP bane over a Defense bane, particularly if you anticipate her being attacked more than once.It's not a priority of hers, but it also shouldn't be lowered, as that would worsen her ability to duel her opponent. DEF: While Hinoka's Defense is not exactly stellar, it's high enough to generally keep her alive through an enemy attack or two.Luckily, her prf weapon allows her to increase that to 36 if positioned correctly- an additional boon here will increase her Speed to 39, which is ideal for building around Hinoka's Spear. +SPD: Hinoka's Speed rests at a lowish 32.

Hinoka's Spear can also benefit from the additional damage, though speed is more preferred there. +ATK : Increasing her Attack makes her Brave Lance set more viable, as it offers her a default +6 damage on every initiation.She should dump Resistance and HP whenever possible, as neither of them really help her much when dueling melee-based enemies. Her Speed is on the lower side when comparing her to other upper-tier blue fliers, however, this is either made irrelevant with her Brave Lance set or rectified with her prf weapon's secondary skill. Hinoka functions best with an offensive boon due to her default options of weapon- both Hinoka's Spear and Brave Lance benefit from Attack or Speed boons.
