Kana (M) Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (18) HP Superbane ★★☆☆☆
Atk (23) Attack Bane ★★★★☆
Spd (7) No Spd IV ★★★★★
Def (7) No Def IV ★★★☆☆
Res (7) Res Bane ★★★☆☆

◯ = 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 Grand Hero Battle, Kana (M) will always have neutral IVs by default. The only way to access IVs for this unit is through using Trait Fruits.

Base Stats!, +Spd IV at +10 Merges

With a total of three -4 superbanes, any of these will give Kana (M) a pretty tough time in battles. The best option would be to keep his stats balanced and go with base stats. Since you can eliminate his bane via Merge Allies, we recommend going with a +Spd IV if you have extras that can be used to merge and eliminate this fatal flaw to his defensive stats.

At +10 Merges, you can keep the +Spd IV. With that IV, he reaches 40 Spd at max merges. It might not be enough to score follow-up attacks on most units, but it protects him from some units' follow-up attacks. This improves his ability as a mixed tank.

Effect of Kana (M)'s Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
SP: 400
Might: 16 Range: 1 HP: 3
If foe initiates combat or if foe's HP ≥ 75% at start of combat, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 to unit during combat. If foe's Range = 2, calculates damage using the lower of foe's Def or Res.
If unit is within 3 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 to unit during combat and restores 7 HP to unit after combat.
Arena Medal:500 Divine Dew:200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Dusk Dragonstone

The special effect refine of Dusk Dragonstone provides additional bonuses during combat and some minor healing post-combat.

These effects are better than the flat stat bonuses given by the other refines, and as such, is the recommended refine for Kana (M).

Kana (M) is a close magic 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 Res stat.

Kana (M) Strengths

Defensive boost in the enemy phase and adaptive damage

Water Breath+ grants +4 Def/Res to Kana (M) if he is attacked in the enemy phase. This makes him bulkier when foes attack him. Water Breath+ also grants him adaptive damage against ranged foes. Because of adaptive damage, it is a good idea to pick-up Distant Counter on him as it makes him a deadly counterattacker to ranged foes. Check out the builds section to learn more.

Adaptive damage is when an effect allows damage to be calculated using the lower of a foe's Def or Res

Powerful Def and Res buff when HP gets low enough

Kana (M)'s A Skill Brazen Def/Res will give him Def/Res+7 when his HP is below 80%. Taking damage increases his defensive stats so that he can tough through combat so make sure that he is always in the frontline soaking up hit for his team.

If you can afford to do so, equip either a Distant Def 3 or a Close Def 3 Sacred Seal onto Kana (M) depending on what maps you will be tackling. If he reaches Brazen range with these Seals, he becomes very hard to take down as he will boast huge Def/Res levels. Check out our recommended builds section to learn more!

As it is an in-combat buff, it stacks well with Water Breath+.

Buff Dragons' Defenses

Kana (M)'s C skill, Fortify Dragons boosts adjacent dragon units' Def/Res by +6. It is powerful and pretty easy to trigger, and this makes Kana (M) a good candidate for a support unit in all-dragon teams.

Bulky dragon powerhouses like Idunn and Legendary Tiki (Young) would highly appreciate this buff from Kana (M)!

Kana (M) Weaknesses

Low Spd

Kana (M) has low Spd. Even if he is a generally durable unit, green units with high Spd can easily take him down. Be mindful of Kana (M)'s position in relation to units that pose a threat to him!

This is why we recommend a +Spd IV. If you can, supplement his Spd with support skills from his allies too!

Weak to Dragon Effective Weapons

Kana (M) takes 1.5x damage from dragon-effective weapons like Falchion or Naga, and one blow from these types of weapons 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!
