Masked Marth Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (19) Normal HP ★★☆☆☆
Atk (24) No Attack IV ★★★★☆
Spd (10) No Spd IV ★★★★★
Def (6) Def Boon ★★★☆☆
Res (4) No Res IV ★★★☆☆

◯ = 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.

Neutral IVs by default!

As a hero obtainable only through Tempest Trials, Masked Marth will always have neutral IVs by default. The only way to access IVs for this unit is through using Trait Fruits.

+Spd/-HP

The best IVs for Masked Marth are +Spd and -HP. A higher Spd stat allows Masked Marth to get a ton of follow-up attacks on her foes. It also protects her from hostile follow-up attacks. Her HP 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 Masked Marth to 10. This is for the same reasons as above. With this IV, she can reach 43 Spd which is at a range wherein she can score lots of follow-up attacks if she has ample support from allies.

How to Use, Explanation

This build uses refined Sealed Falchion along with Atk/Spd boosting skills to make Masked Marth a speedy semi-tank. Spurn and Vital Astra provide damage reduction and bonus damage to improve her survivability and combat potential.

Falchion Healer Masked Marth

Weapon Skill IconFalchion
Emblem Icon: -
Passive Skill A IconHP +5
Passive Skill BRenewal 3
Attuned Skill Icon: -

How to Use, Explanation

This is a niche build for Masked Marth that makes use of the Falchion effect, and Renewal 3 effects to give them sustain. This is so that they can abuse Reciprocal Aid to heal allies. You can also take double Breath of Life 3 to still trigger heals when Marth attacks.

Source Heroes for All Skills

You can replace Falchion with a Sealed Falchion if you have the resources to do so. Though you might want to keep it for the Falchion Healer build as it helps with sustaining her health with Reciprocal Aid activations.

Masked Marth Best Weapon Refinement

Effect of Masked Marth's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)

Falchion (Awakening) can be refined, but we recommend running Sealed Falchion instead

The special effect for Falchion grants Masked Marth +4 to all stats during combat when he is close to an ally. It's pretty easy to utilize, and since you will likely want a support unit nearby anyway, it is a good fit for her.

Effect of Masked Marth's Refined Evolved Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
SP: 400
Might: 16 Range: 1 HP: +3
Effective against dragon foes. If unit’s HP < 100% at start of combat or if【Bonus】is active on unit, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res +5 during combat.
【Bonus】 All effects that last "for 1 turn" or "that turn only." Includes bonuses granted by a skill like Rally or Hone and positive status effects (extra movement or effects like Dominance).

At start of combat, if foe's HP ≥ 75%, grants Atk/Spd/Def+5 to unit during combat and foe cannot make a follow-up attack.
Arena Medal:500 Divine Dew:200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Sealed Falchion

With any upgrade you take for Sealed Falchion, it will make it easier to grab the +5 Atk/Spd/Def/Res buff because it adds another trigger condition. If a bonus is active on Sealed Falchions wielder, they will now activate the buff too.

Additionally, and more imporantly, the sword will now grant an additional +5 Atk/Spd/Def buff during combat it the enemy is at least at 75% HP. It also blocks follow-up attacks from the enemy so this is a very valuable effect.

This is superior to the normal Falchion's special effect refine.

Masked Marth Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Masked Marth is a close physical attacker (range = 1). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage she deals will be equivalent to her Atk minus the foe's Def stat.

Masked Marth Strengths

High Atk and Spd

Masked Marth boasts 34 Atk and 36 Spd at Lv. 40. This offensive statline is great and with enough investment, you can turn Masked Marth into an offensive powerhouse. Her stats are identical to another speedy sword attacker, Lucina. While Lucina has access to better IVs, free-to-play players can slowly but surely merge for a +10 Masked Marth by using Heroic Grails! Take note that Lucina is currently a 5★ exclusive so she can be hard to obtain without spending lots of orbs.

Powerful effect through Falchion

Falchion is strong against dragon characters such as Myrrh and Idunn. It deals 1.5x damage on dragon units such as the previously mentioned duo. In addition, Falchion heals Masked Marth for 10HP at the start of every odd-numbered turn. The effects are very straightforward and easy to utilize. The healing aspect of Falchion makes Masked Marth a great unit in consecutive battle maps such as Tempest Trials.

Special Refinement Available

Falchion has a special refinement effect of granting Masked Marth +4 to all stats in combat whenever she is adjacent to allies. It synergizes well with skills such as Spur Def 3 and Joint Hone Atk so make sure to always be adjacent to allies when attacking. Avoid pairing Masked Marth with units that are stronger when they are alone such as L!Edelgard and Sothis.

Access to Sealed Falchion!

Falchion can be evolved to Sealed Falchion through the weapon refinery. It is a much stronger weapon compared to Masked Marth's default weapon so make sure to get it when you have the resources to do so. Read more about it in the Best Weapon Refinement section!

Masked Marth Weaknesses

Low defensive stats

Masked Marth's Spd is high allowing her to avoid many follow-up attacks. However, Masked Marth's Def is mediocre, and her Res is very low, so any attack she recieves will bring her down to very low HP. Avoid dealing with blue magic units and maybe pair her up with healer units.

Weak Against Anti-Infantry Skills

Masked Marth is infantry and therefore has low stats. If she is attacked by weapons like Poison Dagger+ that inflicts -6 Def/Res to her already low defense stats, she can be taken out easily.

It has been some time since you summoned me here. Really, I should be elsewhere. And I am no Hero.
I am grateful to you, though. I can use the strength you’ve given me to fulfill the mission that lies ahead.
The day will come when I have to leave, {Summoner}.
I must return to the land so dear to me—the one where we all swore to meet again…
The one where we promised we would change our fates. When the time comes, I hope I can explain.
Unlike the other Heroes, I must guard my secrets. I cannot open up to you. But for now, my sword is yours.
