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 B!Sanaki are +Atk and -HP. A +Atk IV adds to her high Atk stat. This allows B!Sanaki to defeat many foes in one turn. Her HP is of less importance to her, and since her Def is a superbane, it is best to take HP as his bane instead. You can also take a +Spd IV if you prefer to rely on follow-up attacks to take out foes.

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
Nifl Frostflowers	SP: 400
Might: 14　Range: 2　HP: Grants Atk+3. If unit is within 3 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Res+5 during combat. During combat, boosts unit's Atk by bumber of allies within 3 spaces x 2 (max: +4).

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Nifl Frostflowers

Nifl Frostflowers's refine will inflict grant Atk/Res+5 if Sanaki's target's HP is ≥ 50% and will also grant a bonus to her Atk equal to the highest Atk bonus from her allies.

We recommend getting this refine as Bridal Sanaki will further increase her firepower and one-shot potential.

Bridal Sanaki Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Bridal Sanaki Roles

Sanaki - Apostle in White 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!Sanaki is a ranged magic attacker (range = 2). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage she deals will be equivalent to her Atk minus the foe's Res stat.

B!Sanaki Strengths

Powerful weapon refine increases firepower

B!Sanaki's weapon refine boosts her Atk if her target's HP is ≥ 50% and will further increase it according to the highest Atk bonus from an ally within 2 spaces.

This means that she greatly benefits if an ally has an existing buff to their Atk, upping her potential to one-shot an enemy unit when she attacks.

Improves Allies' Durability

Def/Res Link 3 grants +6 Def/Res to B!Sanaki and the ally she uses an assist skill on.

Because she has access to Draw Back, she can make use of this skill without investment.

You can use this skill combo to pull allies into safety or drag them into combat while simultaneously buffing their defenses.

Stronger if More Allies are Around

Nifl Frostflowers boosts unit's Atk/Spd depending on the number of allies within 2 spaces of B!Sanaki x2.

This has a limit of +6 to each stat. Additionally, Atk/Res Bond 3 grants +5 Atk/Res to B!Sanaki if she is adjacent to an ally in combat.

This means having at least one ally adjacent to her and 2 other allies within 2 spaces of her grants her a total of +11 Atk, +6 Spd and + 5 Res. Always be mindful of B!Sanaki's positioning in relation to her allies to maximize her abilities!

B!Sanaki Weaknesses

Weak to bows

As a flying unit, B!Sanaki takes 1.5x damage from bows and weapons effective on flying units. Be sure to keep her out of the range of archers and leave them to other units.
Heroes with Effective Skills

Low Def Stat

B!Sanaki has a low Def stat, reaching only 16 at Lv.40. If she gets attacked by a strong physical attacker, there is a high chance that she will be taken out even, if they have weapon-triangle disadvantage.

Be mindful of B!Sanaki's positioning in relation to units that pose a threat to her and pay extra attention to units that posses weapon like Brave Axe+ as they can guarantee follow-up attacks regardless of Spd, and they are sure to finish her off.

Our best recommendation is to never leave her in the reach of physical units in the enemy phase.

Bridal Sanaki as a Source Hero

Value of Skills	★★★☆☆

Inheriting Def/Res Link 3

B!Sanaki can be used to inherit the skill Def/Res Link 3. However, B!Sanaki is a rare flying tome user. She can fill very specific niches in various team compositions. Because of this, we recommend building and training her instead of fodderring her off.
