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/-HP

The best IVs for Summer Cordelia are +Spd and -HP. A higher Spd stat allows Summer Cordelia to prevent follow-up attacks and gain more follow-up attacks on her own. This boosts both her offensive and survivability capabilities. This is important for her as being able to nail follow-up attacks are important for her playstyle. Her HP is of less importance, so it is safe to take HP as a bane. Additionally, HP can be made up for using weapon refinement.

Sweeping Summer Cordelia

HOT
： Firesweep Lance+ ： Reposition ： Galeforce ： -	： Life and Death 4 ： Hit and Run ： Threaten Spd 3 ： Heavy Blade 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

Firesweep Lance and Life and Death will greatly increase her offensive power while simultaneously allowing her to prevent enemy counterattacks. With the Heavy Blade seal, she will be able to speed up her special cooldown count when her Atk exceeds that of the foe, making Galeforce trigger more frequently to grant her that additional movement.

Summer Cordelia Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Summer Cordelia Roles

Cordelia - Knight Paradise 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

Summer Cordelia 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.

Summer Cordelia Strengths

Strong in the Player Phase

Shell Lance+ grants Cordelia +2 to all stats when she initiates combat. Additionally, Sturdy Blow 2 grants her +2 Atk/Def when she initiates combat. This makes her a bit better in the player phase compared to the enemy phase. Take note that this means that she gets +6 Def whenever initating combat. This makes her a great match-up against physical units, as she can take the counterattacks pretty fairly.

Dull Close 3 Neutralizes Bonuses on Melee Foes

Dull Close 3 neutralizes the bonuses of the foe if they are a melee unit. Even if Summer Cordelia has low defenses, Dull Close makes her deceptively durable against units that rely on buffs like the Fortify and Rally archetype buffs.

Summer Cordelia Weaknesses

Weak to Cavalry Effective Weapons

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