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, Lloyd 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 Lloyd are +Spd and -HP. A higher Spd stat allows Lloyd to get a ton of follow-up attacks on his foes. It also protects him from hostile follow-up attacks. His 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 Lloyd 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.

Lloyd Best Builds

Refined - Player Phase Lloyd

： Regal Blade ： Draw Back ： Iceberg ： -

： Swift Sparrow 3 ： Desperation 3 ： Atk/Spd Form 3 ： Blade Session 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

Compared to the DC build, this is a player phase-centered build. Since Lloyd's spec. eff. refine relies on another unit, then it's best that his skills' trigger condition are compatible with that. This is the reason we take Atk/Spd Form 3. If you are looking for some variety in your build, you can take Sorcery Blade 3 in the S slot.

Refined - Enemy Phase Lloyd

： Regal Blade ： Draw Back ： Iceberg ： -

： Distant Stance ： Vantage 3 ： Atk/Spd Menace ： Fierce Stance 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

This set leverages Lloyd's high Res stat to act as an enemy phase bait. With this set, he can bait tome users and easily take them out in the enemy phase!

Lloyd Best Weapon Refine

Effect of Lloyd's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
Regal Blade	SP: 400
Might: 16　Range: 1　HP: +3 At start of combat, if foe’s HP = 100%, grants Atk/Spd+3 during combat. If unit is within 2 spaces of an infantry magic ally, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+3 during combat. ：500　：200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Regal Blade

Lloyd's special effect refine grants him +3 to all stats if he is 2 spaces of an infantry magic ally. This makes Lloyd a good physical option in a magic-centered team as in those compositions, the trigger conditions would be very easy to meet.

e.g. 3 magic users and Lloyd or any mixed team that has at least 1 magic unit. Lloyd can also be paired-up with a magic unit for an even bigger stat boost.

Lloyd Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Lloyd Roles

Lloyd - White Wolf 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

Lloyd 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.

Lloyd Strengths

Atk/Spd buff if foe's HP is at 100%

Regal Blade grants +3 Atk/Spd to Lloyd his foe is at 100% HP. This is pretty to take advantage of especially in the earlier turns of a battle. Be wary when pairing Lloyd with units like Duma who can deal damage to enemy units without initiating an attack on them.

Access to a special weapon refine

Lloyd has access to a special weapon refine that grants him +3 to all stats if he is within 2 spaces of an infantry magic ally. You can read more about it here!

High Res

Lloyd boasts a decent Res stat of 30 at Lv. 40. this makes him a good match-up against magic units especially dragonstone users whom he can hit with counterattacks in the enemy phase. His native special, Iceberg, allows him to boost his damage by stacking Res.

Lloyd Weaknesses

Low Def

Lloyd's Def only sits at 24 at Lv. 40. Be wary of his positioning in relation to physical units that can easily take him down.

This also means that he will have a hard time dealing with counterattacks from his melee counterparts. To avoid damage from these units, you may opt to inherit Desperation onto him.

Requires Investment to be Effective

Other than his weapon, his skills are pretty lackluster especially when compared to newer generation units. If you plan on using him in competitve modes such as Aether Raids, consider inheriting strong skills onto him. Some other ways you can improve Lloyd's power is through unlocking his potential, merging, and using dragonflowers.
