Trait Fruits—How to Change IVs

When using an Ascendant Floret, we recommend getting the next superboon if it fits the hero. If not, consider what stat your hero needs most.

+Def/Spd

The best IVs for New Year Hríd are +Def and -Spd. Since he is a tank that specializes in absorbing physical hits, it is best to increase his Def as much as possible. His Spd is quite low and very unreliable so it is the best bane he can take. If you wish, you can also go for a boon in Res as to make it a bit balanced with his Def.

Budget New Year Hríd

： Geishun+ ： Reposition ： Moonbow ： -

： Atk/Def Bond 3 ： Quick Riposte 3 ： Hone Atk 4 ： Iote's Shield ： -

Premium New Year Hríd

HOT
： Geishun+ ： Reposition ： Bonfire ： -	： Steady Stance 4 ： Guard Bearing 3 ： Cross Spur Atk ： Quick Riposte 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

This premium build for Hríd is quite similar to his base kit as it still aims to make him tanky. However, it makes use of more expensive skills! If you prefer defenses over offenses, you can replace Quick Riposte 3 with Iote's Shield. You can also take Quick Riposte over Guard Bearing 3 in the B slot.

Enemy Phase Tank New Year Hríd

： Barrier Blade+ ： Reposition ： Blue Flame ： -

： Distant Counter ： Quick Riposte 3 ： Cross Spur Atk ： Iote's Shield ： -

How to Use, Explanation

This is a general tank build for Hrid for the enemy phase. With his Def already high, this aims to boost his Res more, with the Res refine of Barrier Blade. Due to his low Spd, he'll need Quick Ripose 3 in order to make a follow-up attack. Iote's Shield allows him to tank units that are effective against fliers, while Blue Flame boosts his damage. If you would like sustain instead, you can swap out Blue Flame for either Noontime or Sol.

New Year Hríd Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

New Year Hríd Roles

Hríd - Resolute Prince Roles
Close-Physical	Ranged-Physical	Close-Magic	Ranged-Magic
Physical Wall	Magic Wall	Effective Weapon	Movement Assist
Exclusive Skill	All-Range Counter	Recovery	Refresher
Legendary	Mythic	Duo / Harmonized	Resplendent

New Year Hríd is a close physical attacker (range = 1). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage he deals will be equivalent to his Atk minus the foe's Def stat.

New Year Hríd Strengths

Debuff the Strongest Units on the Opposite Team

Geishun+ inflicts -7 Atk on the enemy unit with the highest Atk This is very important, as it makes one of the enemy offensive powerhouses enemies a bit more manageable. This means Hríd will be able to absorb their attacks with less damage.

Another quirk of Geishun+ is that they affect enemies regardless of where New Year Hríd is. A -7 Atk debuff that is always active cannot be underestimated.

Hone Atk 4 grants allies a massive Atk buff

Hone Atk 4 is an upgraded version of Hone Atk 3. It grants +7 Atk to allies that are adjacent to New Year Hríd at the start of the turn. This is a massive buff so make sure to move New Year Hríd adjacent to an ally to make use of this buff.

Atk/Def Bond Increases Offensive Power

Atk/Def Bond 3 increases New Year Hríd's Atk and Def by +5 if he is adjacent to an ally. Since it is an in-combat buff, it stacks with other combat buffs, so it is good to pair with units that have skills like Atk Tactic or Spur Def.

New Year Hríd Weaknesses

Weak to bows

As a flying unit,New Year Hríd takes 1.5x damage from bows and weapons effective on flying units. Be sure to keep them out of the range of archers and leave them to other units.
