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.

Neutral IVs by default!

As a hero obtainable only through Grand Hero Battle, Navarre will always have neutral IVs by default. The only way to access IVs for this unit is through using Trait Fruits.

+Spd/-Res

The best IVs for Navarre are +Spd and -Res. A higher Spd stat allows Navarre to get a ton of follow-up attacks on his foes. It also protects him from hostile follow-up attacks. His Res is of less importance and thus safe to be taken as a bane.

+Spd for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Spd IV when merging Navarre to 10. This is for the same reasons as above. With this IV, he can reach 44 Spd which is at a range wherein he can score lots of follow-up attacks if he has ample support from allies.

Follow-up attacks are also good for further speeding-up special activations and is the best IV paired with Desperation 3.

Navarre Best Builds

Refined - Special Spiral Navarre

HOT
： Scarlet Sword ： Reposition ： Blazing Wind ： -	： Life and Death 4 ： Special Spiral 3 ： Savage Blow 3 ： Quickened Pulse ： -

How to Use, Explanation

This is the same idea as Navarre's Wrathful build, but it instead takes the rarer Special Spiral 3 to accelerate Special activations once Quickened Pulse is used up. Like the Wrathful build, the C slot is very flexible.

Refined - Wrathful Navarre

： Scarlet Sword ： Reposition ： Blazing Wind ： -

： Life and Death 4 ： Wrath 3 ： Savage Blow 3 ： Quickened Pulse ： -

How to Use, Explanation

Taking Scarlet Sword's Special eff. ref. and Quickened Pulse in the Sacred Seal slot will allow Navarre to activate Blazing Wind in the first turn of the game! Taking in Wrath 3 will add more flat damage whenever he activates his Special. Savage Blow 3 will add even more AoE damage to Navarre. If he scores a nice placement of his AoE damage, his allies can easily swoop in and finish the job! The C slot is very flexible, though! For the A slot, you can also take Fury 4 or Atk/Spd Push 4 these two provide a mechanic to easily get you into Wrath range.

Galeforce Follow-Up Navarre

HOT
： Scarlet Sword ： Reposition ： Galeforce ： -	： Flashing Blade 4 ： Wings of Mercy 3 ： Spd Smoke 3 ： Atk/Spd Solo 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

This build activates Galeforce after one attack after Scarlet Sword's cooldown reduction effects and Flashing Blade's acceleration. Spd Smoke is to debuff nearby foes' Spd so that Flashing Blade 4 can trigger. Wings of Mercy is to follow-up after an allied player initiates the Galeforce chain.

Navarre Best Weapon Refine

Effect of Navarre's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
Scarlet Sword	SP: 400
Might: 16　Range: 1　HP: +3 Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). At the start of turn 1, grants Special cooldown count-2. ：500　：200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Scarlet Sword

The special effect refine of Scarlet Sword gives it a built-in effect similar to the Quickened Pulse Sacred Seal, but with a bigger cooldown count reduction. If you are able to inherit Special Spiral 3 onto Navarre, he will be able to activate specials rapidly in one map. Consider getting said skill if you plan on using Navarre in the long run and in competitive game modes such as Aether Raids or the Arena.

Navarre Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Navarre Roles

Navarre - Scarlet Sword 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

Navarre 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.

Navarre Strengths

Navarre's Special deals AoE damage

Special Skill	Area of Effect
Blazing Wind

Blazing Wind deals fixed damage to a tightly-knit area. It is a great special in maps that have enemies bundled up together. It is strong against enemies that have high defenses as it deals fixed damage regardless of Res or Def. A lot of strategy can be put into using Navarre's Blazing Wind. You will be surprised at its true potential when used correctly.

When combined with Navarre's ability to shorten his special cooldowns, this skill can potentially ravage many enemy line-ups. Read more about Scarlet Sword's special effect refine here!

Quick follow-ups with Desperation

The B skill Desperation 3 allows Navarre to make follow-up attacks before enemies can counterattack if him HP is ≤ 75%. It is fairly easy to trigger, but the effect is very powerful. It fits Navarre's play style as he wants to deal the most damage possible while avoiding taking attacks and counterattacks. Together with his quick charging special and the possible double attack from Desperation, it is fairly easy for him to score takedowns without taking damage.

Navarre Weaknesses

Low Defenses

Navarre's Def and Res sit at only 23 and 24 respectively. This makes him extremely fragile. Though he has a decent Spd stat of 37, he can still be taken out by powerful foes, especially blue ones! When engaging with Navarre, consider the counterattacks and the implications of his new position upon entering the enemy phase. If possible, avoid attacking enemies that can counterattack him or going into spots that have multiple threats.
