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.

+Spd/-Res

The best IVs for Oscar are +Spd and -Res. A higher Spd stat allows Oscar to get a ton of follow-up attacks on his foes. It also improves his durability by decreasing the amount of follow-up attacks he takes. His Res of is less importance and thus safe to be taken as a bane.

+Spd for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Spd IV when merging Oscar to 10. This is for the same reasons as above. At max merges, Oscar will be at 41 Spd which is a fair value! This increases his overall viability as Spd provides so much utility to a unit.

Oscar Best Builds

Life and Death Firesweep Oscar

HOT
： Firesweep Lance+ ： Reposition ： Luna ： -	： Life and Death 4 ： Drag Back ： Def Smoke 3 ： Life and Death 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

This is a very offensive build that aims to pull an enemy unit closer to your team using Oscar's attack. After he has attacked, not only will the foe be in a compromised position, but they will take Def Smoke 3 as well. Use your other units to finish them off!

Refined Premium Oscar

HOT
： Loyal Greatlance ： Reposition ： Galeforce ： -	： Swift Sparrow 3 ： Desperation 3 ： Goad Cavalry ： Heavy Blade 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

This is a build that utilizes Oscar's speed given by the +Eff refine of his weapon that allows him to buff both and his allies provided they are infantry and cavalry. This makes him a good pick for cavalry teams, especially if he has Goad Cavalry equipped. Heavy Blade as a Sacred Seal will allow him to trigger Galeforce faster so he can attack multiple times in a turn.

Oscar Best Weapon Refine

Effect of Oscar's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
Loyal Greatlance	SP: 400
Might: 16　Range: 1　HP: +3 Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). Grants Atk/Spd+3 to infantry and cavalry allies within 2 spaces during combat. If unit is within 2 spaces of an infantry or cavalry ally, grants Atk/Spd+3 during combat. ：500　：200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Loyal Greatlance

It grants him an effect identical to Spur Atk/Spd 2. It grants him +3 Atk/Spd whenever he is within 2 spaces of either an infantry or a cavalry ally. The Ak/Spd bonus is also applied to the allies that triggered the effect. Additionally, it works in both phases!

This skill is very easy to use as the trigger conditions are very easy to meet and it is also online even on mixed teams. This is definitely a must get since it improves Oscar's viability and utility by a lot!

Oscar Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Oscar Roles

Oscar - Agile Horseman 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

Oscar 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.

Oscar Strengths

Possesses powerful buff skills

In addition to the Spd/Def buffs he has in his assit skill Rally Spd/Def and Spur/Def 2, Oscar's 5★ weapon, the Loyal Greatlance has access to a very useful and very convenient team buff! Read more about it in the weapon refine section

In addition, Loyal Greatlance also accelerates Oscar's special trigger!

Very Strong Against Red Units

Oscar's Sapphire Lance+ boosts his Atk by +20% if she gets into combat with red units. This allows Oscar to deal with powerful red units with ease. This also makes Oscar a valuable unit because the red attribute class boasts the most number of units the game, and he has the tools to easily take them out.

Strong Against Lance Users

Oscar has access to Lancebreaker 3, which guarantees follow-up attacks against lance users and prevents them from executing follow-up attacks if Oscar's HP is equal or more than 50%. Because of this skill, he can be a good counter to powerful blue units like Brave Hector and Hardin.

It is a niche effect, but it can always be re-equipped if you find yourself against a powerful lance unit in Lunatic maps or beyond!

Oscar Weaknesses

Very Weak Against Green Units

Sapphire Lance+ has the effects of Triangle Adept built in, which makes him extra strong against red units, but very weak against green units. He can be one-shot by most offensive green units so pay attention to his positioning in relation to them, and leave them to Oscar's allies so he can focus his firepower on other units.

Take note that this only applies when using Sapphire Lance+!, Oscar's other weapon has a different effect.

Weak to Cavalry Effective Weapons

Oscar takes 1.5x damage from cavalry-effective weapons like Ridersbane, and one blow from this type of weapon is sure to take him down. Make sure you know what weapons you are up against before hopping too far into the line of battle!
