Fate War Reinhardt Build: Skill Priority, Talent Tree and Pairings

For Fate War players building Reinhardt as a Cavalry damage hero: the hero who buffs his own troop in every fight and hits Blackforged hard.

Reinhardt is a Cavalry hero built around self-buffs. Every Battlemania cast hits the target hard and gives his own troop a random buff, and the rest of his kit turns those buffs into more ATK, march speed and extra hits.

He does his best work in a Cavalry march and in NPC content, where his extra damage against Blackforged adds up fast. His buffs stay on his own troop, so build him as a damage hero, not as a support for the rest of your lineup.

This guide covers his skills, upgrade order, talent trees, the hero pairings that suit a Cavalry damage dealer and where he performs in each mode. If you also run Amaterasu, see her guide for how to split upgrades between your top heroes.

Meet Reinhardt

Reinhardt is a Cavalry hero. His kit is about his own troop: his Burst gives it a random buff, his passives reward every buff he holds, and he deals extra damage to Blackforged. He hits hard enough to matter in damage rankings and gets stronger the longer he keeps his buffs rolling.

What makes him valuable for big accounts is how his skills feed each other. More buffs mean more ATK and march speed, and his normal attacks can roll more buffs on their own. He is a self-sufficient damage hero, not a team buffer.

Reinhardt skill breakdown

Battlemania (Burst)

Deals high damage to the target troop and gives Reinhardt's own troop one random buff for 5 seconds: Bloodlust (heals his troop), Fervor (faster rage buildup) or Breakthrough (ignores part of the target's DEF). This is his main damage and the engine of his whole kit.

Battle Fervor and Seize the Initiative

Battle Fervor raises his troop's ATK and march speed for each buff on it, up to 5% per buff at max and capped at 25%. Seize the Initiative gives each normal attack a chance (up to 20% at max) to grant his troop another random buff. Together they keep his buffs stacked through a fight.

Forceful Strike

Adds extra damage against Blackforged, up to +50% at max. This is why Reinhardt is a strong pick for NPC content. His awakened skill, Peerless Technique, raises Battlemania's damage and gives his normal attacks a chance to strike again.

Reinhardt skill priority

His order follows his own damage, because every part of his kit works on his own troop.

1. Battlemania. His main damage and the source of his buffs. Max it first.
2. Battle Fervor and Seize the Initiative. More buffs and more ATK per buff. Level these second.
3. Forceful Strike. Level it when you farm Blackforged and NPC events, where the extra damage pays off.

Reinhardt talent tree

Main build: Hunter tree, then Cavalry tree

For Blackforged and PvE, start with the Hunter tree: Sound Strategy, Blackforged Insight and Deadly Assault. Add All-out Assault if Reinhardt leads rallies. Then move to the Cavalry tree to raise his troop's damage.

Best for Blackforged hunts, NPC events like Blackforged Showdown and Call of Valhalla, and any march where Reinhardt leads Cavalry.

Alternative: Field Combat plus Cavalry (PvP)

If you use Reinhardt mostly in open-field PvP, a Field Combat plus Cavalry build gives more mobility on the map. Talent resets cost Gems, so pick the build for the content you play most and do not switch casually.

Best hero pairings for Reinhardt

• Reinhardt + Selena (Cavalry PvE). Both lead Cavalry and both deal extra damage to Blackforged, and Selena's Phantom Assault boosts Cavalry ATK and march speed. This is the pair for Blackforged and PvE content.
• Reinhardt + Erin (Cavalry damage). Two Cavalry damage dealers in one march. Erin's single-target burst plus Reinhardt's self-buffed hits put a lot of pressure on one target.
• Reinhardt + Kaira (mixed lineup). Kaira's blind and debuffs weaken the enemy while Reinhardt keeps his own buffs rolling. It runs as a mixed lineup, since Kaira is best with Axethrowers.
• Reinhardt + Voll (NPC specialist). Voll's rage engine and DEF ignore at low HP, combined with Reinhardt's extra damage against Blackforged, make a lineup built for NPC content like Blackforged Showdown and Call of Valhalla. Not a PvP first choice, but it gets the most from NPC-scored events.

Where Reinhardt performs in each mode

• NPC content and Blackforged: his main ground. Forceful Strike and the Hunter tree make him one of the best picks for Blackforged Showdown and Call of Valhalla.
• Cavalry marches in PvP: on the Field Combat plus Cavalry build, he is a strong second damage dealer next to Erin or Selena.
• Rallies: take All-out Assault if he leads rallies, and fill the march with Cavalry so his kit gets full value.
• Tribal Showdown Day 5 training: his value is in deployment, not training. Spend Day 5 training speed-ups on troops, not hero activities.

A quick breakdown

• Reinhardt is a Cavalry hero whose skills buff his own troop, not his allies.
• Skill order: Battlemania first, then Battle Fervor and Seize the Initiative, then Forceful Strike for NPC content.
• Talent tree: Hunter then Cavalry for Blackforged and PvE. Field Combat plus Cavalry for PvP mobility.
• Core pairings: Selena (Cavalry PvE), Erin (Cavalry damage), Kaira (mixed lineup), Voll (NPC events).
• He shines in NPC content and Cavalry marches.

Every Reinhardt upgrade goes into his own damage and his own buffs. Build Battlemania first, keep his buffs rolling and put him where Cavalry damage and Blackforged bonuses count.
