Canas Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (17) HP Superboon ★★★☆☆
Atk (20) Attack Bane ★★★★★
Spd (5) No Spd IV ★★★☆☆
Def (4) No Def IV ★★☆☆☆
Res (9) 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, Canas will always have neutral IVs by default. The only way to access IVs for this unit is through using Trait Fruits.

+Atk/-Def

The best IVs for Canas are +Atk and -Def. Canas does not rely on Spd for follow-up attacks or for protecting him against hostile follow-up attacks so the only way to effectively increase his damage is through a +Atk IV. His Def is very low and is of less importance so it can be safely taken as his bane.

+Atk for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Atk IV when merging Canas to 10. This is for the same reason as above. This helps him get more damage per each attack. This increases his overall viability as a unit.

Canas Best Weapon Refine

Effect of Canas' Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
SP: 400
Might: 14 Range: 2 HP:
If unit is within 3 spaces of an ally, deals damage = 20% of the greater of unit's Res or foe's Res and grants Atk/Res+5 to unit during combat.
At the start of turns 1 through 3, grants Special cooldown count-1 to unit. At start of combat, if foe's HP ≥, grants Atk/Res+5 to unit during combat.
Arena Medal:500 Divine Dew:200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Ancient Codex

A refined Ancient Codex provides the following effects:

  • Res-based bonus damage if Canas has higher Res than his foe
  • An upwards of +10 Atk/Res
  • Special cooldown reduction from turns 1 to 3.

This provides him with lots of tools offensive, and defensive so it is a no-brainer upgrade from a regular Ancient Codex or a Rauðrowl+.

Canas 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. In addition, he possesses a weapon that will buff his stats with nearby allies, as well as skills to buff his allies' stats.

Canas's Strengths

A refined Ancient Codex provides the following bonuses

  • Res-based bonus damage if Canas has higher Res than his foe
  • An upwards of +10 Atk/Res
  • Special cooldown reduction from turns 1 to 3.

This makes him a great matchup against units that have abysmally low Res stats and / or magic foes!

Stats increase with number of adjacent allies

Thanks to his weapon skill Rauðrowl+, Canas can gain a bonus on all of his stats. In a normal party this means that he can gain up to a max of +6 to all stats, and in Aether Raids he can gain up to +8 to all stats.

This will stack with bonuses granted during combat, so if you customize your party right, you can give him massive stat boosts.

Can greatly buff his allies' Res stat

Res Tactic 3.png

In this case, Shiro's Def Tactic 3 affects all of his allies because there is no one movement type that surpasses a unit count of 2. Shiro and Rhajat make up for 2 infantry types, there is 1 axe cavalier in the far left and 1 sword knight in the bottom screen. This trigger condition is exactly the same as Canas' Res Tactic 3.

Canas's default C skill, Res Tactic 3, will grant Res+6 to all party members with less than 2 of the same movement type ally on their team. For a mixed party with two infantry units and two cavalry units (etc.), this can be a useful skill, but you must pay close attention to your party's construction to get the most use of it.

Canas's Weaknesses

Mediocre Stats

Canas does not have any relatively high stats, so to speak of. This means that he will have a hard time combating a large variety of foes, so he may be more useful if specialized to a specific role with a Triangle Adept build, etc.

My apologies... I didn’t even see you there, with my nose buried in this book...
But you must understand how fascinating it is! Truly!
You want to know why I’m always reading? You could say that I am driven by curiosity...
Once I identify a topic of interest, I must study it from every angle.
I do wonder, sometimes, where this habit will take me...
When I consider the fate that befell my brothers, as they pushed the limits of magical study, I...
But I must be honest with you. I cannot control my thirst for knowledge.
It is a flaw in my character. One could even call it greed...
The short answer to your question is this: For me, to read is to live.
Now, while I have you here, perhaps you could answer one of my questions...
Observe the pattern on this page. It is totally unfamiliar to me—like nothing from my realm. Tell me...
