Summary
Made by request!

Tyrfing comes from the game called Phantom of the Kill. Brave Frontier Japan recently collaborated with Phantom of the Kill, releasing two units, including Tyrfing and Lævateinn. In return, Phantom of the Kill released Vargas, Selena, Lunaris, and Metal God. Judging by the looks of Phantom of the Kill, there is much kawaii-ness in characters and for two of the characters to appear in Brave Frontier, one can't help but to do a unit analysis on Tyrfing... so here it goes!

Leader Skill
Score: 6/10

That Leader Skill looks very interesting when you see "greatly boosts BB gauge when attacked", right? Most certainly. However, what kills this Leader Skill is that it is not reliable. There is no doubt that the buff is very good in almost every situation, but it comes with a probability. There is a 50% chance that a unit will regenerate 3-5 BCs when attacked. Lilly Matah, Orna, Eva, and Fei can do a much better job at being a Leader than Tyrfing can. Here's why.

Lilly Matah, Orna, Eva, and Fei have a guaranteed chance in filling up units' BB gauges when attacked. Tyrfing, unfortunately, has a probable chance in recovering BB gauge, which makes her unreliable as a Leader.

Tyrfing's Leader Skill also comes with a 30% boost to ATK and 15% increase in critical hit ratio. While the ATK and Crit chance boosts are nice, there are many Leader Skill combinations that can do a better job than this. Some examples include Zergel & Lilly Matah, Grahdens & Lilly Matah, etc.

Brave Burst
Score: 7/10

Tyrfing's Brave Burst is not too bad, but not good either. The damage multiplier is 190%, which is very low compared to other units. Combined with her low ATK stat, Tyrfing will deal very little damage with her BB.

The 45% chance in Cursing is nice as 45% seems to be a relatively normal chance for Brave Burst only. However, this chance is still low compared to other units, especially if one is to use an SBB spam team. When comparing to Nalmika, Nalmika can deal one, some, or all status ailments with a 65% chance with her BB and 50% chance with her SBB. Even though the Curse effect chance is relatively low, it is still a good status inflicting effect to have.

The 5 BC boost to BB gauge is not too shabby either. However, this is not the best BB gauge fill. Most players would prefer using Zelnite, Fei and Fang (Global version only), and Shida. Zelnite can fill 8 BCs, Fei and Fang can fill 9 BCs, and Shida can fill 10 BCs, which is the best in the current version.

Super Brave Burst
Score: N/A

This unit does not have Super Brave Burst.

Ultimate Brave Burst
Score: N/A

This unit does not have Ultimate Brave Burst.

Arena
Score: 4/10

Tyrfing's BB only costs 20 BCs, which is a relatively low cost compared to other units. This means that it is easy to get her BB up on the second turn. Her Curse effect also comes in handy as opposing units will have a chance to get cursed for three turns, which means the units that are cursed will most likely die since they are useless without their BBs.

Tyrfing's Drop Check is relatively low as she can only produce a maximum of 16 BC with her normal attack. However, with the right units equipped with the right spheres, you can alleviate this problem.

What kills Tyrfing's role in Arena is her low stats and her low BB damage. Her low stats won't help her damage and survivability. Since most players use 6* and, most importantly, 7* units, Tyrfing won't be dealing much damage to those units at all and she will definitely not be able to take hits from the current metagame units.

Stats
Score: 4/10

Very, very low. Tyrfing's Lord stats are (HP: 4966, ATK: 1821, DEF: 1475, REC: 1575). Tyrfing's survivability and damage output will be very low. She is highly not recommended in tough missions, like Trials, GGC, Raid, etc. With these low stats, Tyrfing will need the highest survivability possible.

In terms of typing, my type preference for Tyrfing is...

Anima > Guardian > Lord > Breaker > Oracle

Usefulness
Score: 2/10

This unit only has a 5* form and no 6* form. With low stats, she is practically almost useless in almost every tough quest out there. In Grand Gaia Chronicles, units one-shot her. In Raid, Tyrfing doesn't last two seconds against RC3+ quests. Due to Tyrfing's lack of survivability and damage, Tyrfing won't be serving much use to a squad. There are way better options to take instead of using Tyrfing.

Conclusion
Total Score: 4.6/10

Overall, Tyrfing doesn't serve much of a purpose in a squad and even as a Leader, she lacks reliability. Her Brave Burst is good as she can Curse and fill 5 BCs to units' BB gauges, but the damage output is very low and the BB gauge boost is not as great as other meta units with the similar effect. Tyrfing's stats really cripple her ability in becoming a good unit to use.

You might not want to bother raising her, unless you are really bored. However, I highly suggest getting her for collection.

I am open to take any requests on other units to analyze, including Global and Japan! Feel free to comment below on a unit you want to see!
