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 Spring Xander are +Atk and -Res. This helps him increase the amount of damage he deals per attack. Additionally, it is a superboon so you should take advantage of it as much as possible. His Res if of less importance so it can be safely taken as a bane.

+Atk for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Atk IV when merging Spring Xander to 10. This is for the same reasons as above. Though we must warn you that even with this IV, Xander's offensive performance will not be great. If you prefer a supporting Xander that is more durable, you can go for a +Def or +Spd IV instead.

Spring Xander Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Spring Xander Roles

Xander - Spring Prince 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

Spring Xander 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.

Spring Xander Strengths

Blue Egg provides sustain

Spring Xander's exclusive weapon, Carrot Lance+, heals him for 4 HP after he attacks an enemy. When paired-up with allies that can take him out of the danger zone before the enemy phase starts, he makes for a very sustainable unit.

Training Tower badge boost!

Spring Xander's unique skill, Live for Honor, allows the summoner to get 1.5x the number of badges he normally gets in the training tower provided that Xander survives the map. Consider him for a slot in your training team as badges are very important in the long run!

Spring Xander Weaknesses

Low offensive ability

Even if Spring Xander is at a high investment, he would not be a reliable hero of choice for a main offensive unit. His only real option in offense is inheriting Sapphire Lance+ and specializing on taking out red units. However, even this build is very niche.

Spring Xander Teammates and Counters

Teammates for Spring Xander

Valentine's Titania	Red Tome Eirika	Reinhardt	Green Tome Olwen
Cecilia	Veronica	Brave Lyn	Maribelle

Characters with Cavalry Buffs and Dance/Sing Skills

Since Spring Xander is a cavalry unit, he benefits from skills like Hone Cavalry. Xander also greatly benefits from Reyson and Leanne who both have Sing. He is a cavalry unit that can move 3 squares per action so Sing makes him extremely mobile. This allows him to move in and out of the danger zone or attack multiple enemies in the same turn.

Spring Xander Counters

Micaiah	Clair	Ursula	Nino
Rhajat	Robin (F)	Fallen Robin (M)	Legendary Hector

Units with cavalry-effective damage

Be wary of Xander's positioning in relation to units that possess Cavalry-effective damage like Micaiah and Rhajat. Use Xander's great mobility to position himself away from foes like them who can take him out easily.
