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.

+Spd and -HP

The best IVs for Brave Lucina are +Spd and -HP. With a Spd boon, B!Lucina will have a Spd stat of 39 and will be able to get a follow-up attack on most foes. Her HP is the least important stat, and therefore the best stat to have a flaw in.

+Spd for a +10 Merge

If you are building a +10 Merged B!Lucina, we also recommend +Spd. At +10 merges, a Spd boon will give Lucinca a Spd stat of 43, and she will be able to get a follow-up attack on even the speediest of foes. If you are running a Distant Counter build with her, +Res is a great option as well.

Brave Lucina Best Weapon Refinement

Effect of Lucina's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
Geirskögul	SP: 400
Might: 16　Range: 1　HP: +3 Effective against dragon foes. Grants Def+3. Grants Atk/Spd+3 to sword, lance, axe, bow, dagger, or beast allies within 2 spaces during combat. Grants Def/Res+3 to sword, lance, axe, bow, dagger, or beast allies within 2 spaces during combat, and if foe initiates combat against those allies, grants Special cooldown charge +1 per attack to those allies. (Only highest value applied. Does not stack.) ：500　：200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Geirskögul

Upgrading this weapon skill with the Special Effect upgrade will grant Def/Res+3 to all nearby physical attackers, and when combined with this weapon's original skill, it will grant a buff of +3 to all stats of nearby physical attacker allies.

The upgrade also gives an additional effect where those allies gain special cooldown charge +1 whenever a foe initiates combat against one of those allies. If the ally that was attacked has a 2-count special like Glimmer or Noontime, it will always trigger when they counterattack, so refining Lucina's weapon will make her an excellent support unit.

Brave Lucina Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Brave Lucina Roles

Lucina - Brave Princess 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

B!Lucina is a close ranged 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. She is also equipped with skills that can buff her allies and restore her own HP.

Brave Lucina Strengths

Excellent buff support with Geirskögul

B!Lucina's exclusive weapon Geirskögul will grant Atk/Spd+3 to all physical attacker (sword, lance, axe, dagger, bow, beast) allies within two spaces during combat. Since these stats can be increased just by being in the vicinity of her allies, Lucina is great at both attacking and support.

Further boosts the Spd of allies with Drive Spd

B!Lucina's default C skill Drive Spd 2 will grant Spd+3 to all allies within two spaces during combat. Combined with her weapon skill, that grants her nearby allies a total of Spd+6, increasing the amount of follow-up attacks her team can land while also reducing they ones they have to take.

Brave Lucina Weaknesses

Lacks skills to support her own stats

While Lucina does have many skills to support her allies, the only boosts to her own stats she gets are those from Sturdy Blow 2 and Def+3 from her weapon. if you want her to be able to take on more powerful foes, she is going to need some support of her own, or she will have to inherit other skills.

Brave Lucina Team and Counters

Teammates for Brave Lucina

Ayra	Flying Olivia	Tibarn	Mareeta
Micaiah	Legendary Azura	Legendary Alm	Fallen Tiki (Young)

Units who need support to their offensive stats

Since B!Lucina's exclusive weapon allows her to increase the Atk and Spd of her allies, it would be best to use those buffs on a powerful attacker like Tibarn or Mareeta. Since Drive/Spur buffs will stack with Fortify/Hone ones, Lucina is very easy to use for offensive support.

Brave Lucina Counters

Reinhardt	Legendary Tiki (Young)	Naga	Adrift Corrin (F)
Lewyn	Myrrh	Flying Nino	Nino

Strong magic attackers

B!Lucina's offensive power is not bad, but she is lacking in defensive stats. In particular, her poor Res of only 19 will leave her taking massive damage from mages and dragons. She needs to try and avoid this type of battle whenever possible, so make sure Lucina only fights with magic attackers when you know she can defeat them with no risk of being beaten out with a counterattack.
