Draug Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (24) Normal HP ★★★☆☆
Atk (16) Attack Bane ★★★★★
Spd (1) No Spd IV ★★★★☆
Def (13) No Def IV ★★★★☆
Res (3) 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.

+Atk/-Res

The best IVs for Draug are +Atk and -Res. Draug has low offensive power, so a +Atk IV can help patch this problem of his. His Res is already low, and he is not really built for tanking magical attacks so it is safe to take it as his bane.

+Spd for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Spd IV when merging Draug to 10. With a +Spd IV, Draug's Spd stat will reach 39 with 10 merges. This improves both his bulk and offensive power, as it makes him less susceptible to follow-up attacks, and helps him make many follow-up attacks on his own.

Draug Best Builds

Wo Dao Sustain Draug

HOT
Weapon Skill Icon： Wo Dao+
Assist Skill Icon： Pivot
Special Skill Icon： Sol
Emblem Icon： -
Passive Skill A Icon： Fury 4
Passive Skill B： Wrath 3
Passive Skill C： Ward Armor
Sacred Seal Icon： Hardy Bearing 3
Attuned Skill Icon： -

How to Use, Explanation

This is a build for Draug that uses Wo Dao and Wrath to boost damage when his Special triggers. Sol or Noontime will give him sustain, almost enough to mitigate the effects of Fury 4. Hardy Bearing will allow him to bypass units that use Vantage or Brave Ike's weapon refine.

Arcane Draug

HOT
Weapon Skill Icon： Arcane Éljúðnir
Assist Skill Icon： Swap
Special Skill Icon： Pavise
Emblem Icon： -
Passive Skill A Icon： Atk/Def Unity
Passive Skill B： Hardy Fighter 3
Passive Skill C： A/D Near Save 3
Sacred Seal Icon： Atk/Def Form 3
Attuned Skill Icon： -

How to Use, Explanation

Arcane Éljúðnir breathes new life into Draug, turning him into a red Brave Hector that restores armor weakness and gains Guard. This makes him a formidable Near Save unit capable of tanking physical attacks for the team. Penalties aren't neutralized, thus we use Atk/Def Unity to reverse them instead.

Draug Best Weapon Refinement

Effect of Draug's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
Stalwart Sword ImageStalwart Sword
 SP: 400
Might: 16　Range: 1　HP: +3
If foe initiates combat, inflicts Atk-6 on foe during combat.
If unit is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Def+5 to unit and neutralizes unit's penalties to Atk/Def during combat.
Arena Medal：500　Divine Dew：200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Stalwart Sword

The special effect refine for Stalwart Sword is fairly easy to trigger, as it only requires an ally be be within 2 spaces of Draug, but it provides a fair +5 Atk/Def. It increases Draug's firepower and greatly improves his ability to tank physical attacks. Additionally, it neutralizes any penalties to Atk/Def making Draug able to soak penalties that would otherwise harm his utility.

Draug Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Physical Wall ImagePhysical Wall Magic WallMagic Wall Effective ImageEffective Weapon Movement Assist ImageMovement Assist
Exclusive Skill ImageExclusive Skill No All Range Counterattack ImageAll-Range Counter RecoveryRecovery No Refresher ImageRefresher

Draug 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.

Draug Strengths

High Def

Draug's Def reaches 39 at Lv. 40. This is without merges or Dragonflowers. Additionally, his weapon and skill effects can increase his durability even further, making him a great go-to physical tank unit.

High Spd

Draug has fairly high Spd or 32 at Lv.40, on top of his amazingly high Def stat. If you are able to further increase his Spd through buffs or merges, his durability will increase as he will be less susceptible to follow-up attacks.

Draug Weaknesses

Low Res

Draug's Res only sits at 18 at Lv.40. This makes it easy for magic users to take him out. Be mindful of Draug's positioning in relation to magical units that can easily take him out.
