Morgan (M) Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (18) HP Superboon ★★☆☆☆
Atk (21) No Attack IV ★★★★☆
Spd (8) No Spd IV ★★★★★
Def (8) No Def IV ★★★☆☆
Res (7) Res Boon ★★☆☆☆

◯ = Stat gains +4 with a superboon, ✕= Stat goes down by -4 with a superbane, - = No assets or flaws

See the IV Checker for All Units 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.

+Spd/-Res

The best IVs for Morgan (M) are +Spd and -Res. A higher Spd stat allows Morgan (M) to score more follow-up attacks on his foes. It also reduces the amount of follow-up attacks he is susceptible to. A bane in Res is recommended as his defenses aren't that important. This will balance his defenses which is ideal against foes that have adaptive damage.

Adaptive damage is when a skill effect calculates damage using the lower of foe's Def or Res.

Morgan (M) Best Weapon Refine

Effect of Morgan (M)'s Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
SP: 400
Might: 14 Range: 2 HP:
Grants Def+3. At start of turn, inflicts Atk/Spd/Res-5 on nearest foes within 4 spaces through their next action and grants Atk/Spd/Res+5 to unit for 1 turn.
At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, inflicts penalty on foe's Atk/Spd/Def/Res during combat = 4 + any current penalty on each of those stats. (Example: if foe has -7 penalty to Atk, inflicts Atk-11, for a net penalty of Atk-18 during combat.) Calculates each stat penalty independently.
Arena Medal:500 Divine Dew:200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Grima's Truth

Morgan (M)'s weapon refine ups his utility, making debuffs stronger by inflicting 4 + any existing debuff to an enemy unit's stats.

This allows him and his allies to deal even more damage and potentially one-shot foes.

Morgan (M) is a ranged magic attacker (range = 2). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage he deals will be equivalent to his Atk minus the foe's Res stat.

Morgan (M) Strengths

High Utility Weapon Skill

Grima's Truth inflicts penalties to an enemy unit's Atk/Spd/Def/Res = 4 + any existing penalties they have to those stats.

This is a very powerful effect that gives a huge stat gap to your team's benefit! That is a huge window that can mean the difference between victory and defeat.

This makes Morgan (M) a good pair with a blade tome user like Tharja who is well invested in. There would only be limited situations wherein a unit would survive a Grima's Truth-backed attack from a blade tome user.

Dull Range 3 Neutralizes Bonuses on Ranged Foes

Dull Range 3 neutralizes the bonuses of the foe if they are a ranged unit. Even if Morgan (M) has low defenses, Dull Range makes him deceptively durable against units that rely on buffs such as Fortify and Rally skills. This also makes him a great matchup against magic users that are using a blade tome.

Morgan (M) Weaknesses

Low Defenses

Morgan (M)'s Def and Res sit at only 20 and 26 respectively. This makes him a bit fragile and vulnerable to counterattacks. If you please, you can build him in such a way that would allow him to avoid taking counterattacks.

Oh, so I guess you spotted me! I was watching you from over there, but I didn’t think you’d notice…
But I shouldn’t be surprised. I expect nothing less from the second smartest tactician I know!
The smartest tactician I know is my own mother, of course. But you could be her rival for sure!
That’s why I’ve been looking for an opportunity to ask to be your apprentice.
Oh, wait! I just let my own plan slip! No way you’d ever take me on as your apprentice now…
Huh? You will? Really?! Oh, thank you! You’re amazing! And every bit as kind as my mother.
I’m so excited I get to learn all about tactics from you. Now that it’s official, I’ll stick to your side like glue!
Because no matter what happens, I’ll believe in you right up to the end!

Comment

1 SakuraKoiover 3 years

I came here due to the Windsweep build (because Doomgard and I have him at +10) and it turns out that part of the description regarding Grima's Truth is wrong: "Cooldown count-1. If unit initiates combat or is not adjacent to an ally, grants Spd+6 during combat. If unit initiates combat or if unit is not adjacent to an ally, grants Atk/Spd+5 during combat and blocks effects that prevent follow-up attacks." It seems like somehow Ishtar's Mjölnir refine got in here.
