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/-HP

The best IVs for Sully are +Atk and -HP. Her weapon boosts her Atk by 20% against red units so having a +Atk maximzes the potential of that 20% boost. Additionally, it is a superbane so you should take advantage of it as much as possible. Her HP is of less importance so it is safe to take it as a bane.

+Atk for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Atk IV when merging Sully to 10. This is for the same reasons as above. If you prefer nailing follow-up attacks instead of raw damage, you can go for a +Spd IV instead.

Sully Best Weapon Refine

Effect of Sully's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
Bull Spear	SP: 400
Might: 16　Range: 1　HP: +3 If unit has weapon-triangle advantage, boosts Atk by 20%. If unit has weapon-triangle disadvantage, reduces Atk by 20%. If cavalry allies within 2 spaces use sword, lance, or axe and foe initiates combat, unit attacks twice. ：500　：200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Bull Spear

If a cavalry ally using a sword, axe or lance is present within 2 spaces of Sully, Bull Spear's special effect refine grants her an extra attack. She will most likely be in cavalry-emblem teams so this trigger condition is trivial. Take note that it is an extra attack this means that if she scores a follow-up attack through outspeeding or through Swordbreaker 3, she will land 4 hits on the enemy. There's no ignoring 4 hits! This is an extremely powerful special refine so we recommend getting it if Sully is one of your main units.

A cavalry-emblem team is a team composed of all cavalry units.

Sully Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Sully Roles

Sully - Crimson Knight 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

Sully 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.

Sully Strengths

Cavalry unit with above average Spd!

Sully's base Spd is 34. This is above average for cavalry units. With skills like Hone Cavalry and Goad Cavalry, you can boost it to 44 Spd! If she is up against a red unit and she lands a follow-up attack, odds are that unit will not survive.

Access to a powerful special refine!

The special effect refine for Bull Spear grants an extra attack if she meets certain conditions! Since it is an extra attack, Swordbreaker 3's effects will still kick-in. This allows Sulli to land 4 hits on sword units during the enemy phase! There's no sword unit surviving 4 hits from Sully who also has Triangle Adept 3 present in her weapon!

Extremely Powerful Against Sword Users!

Sully comes with the skill Swordbreaker 3, which gives her a guaranteed follow-up attack against a sword wielder, while also preventing the foe from making their own follow-up attack. This powerful advantage over sword type foes makes her a tough unit. This gives her lots of value as sword units are one of the most common in the game!

Note that this only activates if she is at least at 50% HP or above.

Versatile skill in Draw Back

Sully has access to the movement-assist skill in Draw Back. It can be used in defensively by dragging an ally back into the safe zone or dragging an ally towards the danger zone!

Sully Weaknesses

Bad match-ups with non-red units

Sully has average Atk and and above average Spd. However, this is not enough against more powerful units. This makes some match-ups pretty hard if not against red units whom she is very strong against. Unless you swap Sapphire Lance+ for the Bull Spear and get its special effect refine, expect bad match-ups on your way.

Support her with skills like Hone Cavalry and Goad Cavalry to help her take down more non-red foes with ease.
