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 Winter Lissa are +Atk and -HP. This will increase the amount of damage she deals per attack. Since she can score follow-up attacks through Bold Fighter, Atk is so much more important than Spd at this point..

+Spd for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Spd IV when merging Winter Lissa to 10. At this point, her Atk will reach such high levels, that it will be better if you put additional points onto Spd instead. At +10 merges, she reaches a Spd of 37. This is not much for scoring follow-up attacks, but this is more for her defense as it will help prevent follow-up attacks against her.

If you value offense over defense, then you can still go for a +Atk IV.

Winter Lissa Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Winter Lissa Roles

Lissa - Pure Joy 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

Winter Lissa 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.

Winter Lissa Strengths

Guaranteed follow-up makes way for consistent Bonfire activation

Winter Lissa has the armor only skill Bold Fighter, which grants her a guaranteed follow-up attack when initiating combat, as well as special cooldown charge +1. This means that when initiating combat, Bonfire will almost always trigger, allowing her to take down most enemies.

Buff Armored Units' Defenses

Winter Lissa's C skill, Fortify Armor boosts adjacent armored units' Def/Res by +6. It is powerful and pretty easy to trigger, and this makes Winter Lissa a good candidate for a support unit in armored-emblem teams.

Balanced statline

Winter Lissa boasts a very balanced statline. Combined with Handbell+'s effects, she makes for a very stable and easy-to-use unit especially if she is in a situation where Armor March 3 can always be activated. Armor March 3 is a skill that we highly recommend getting on Winter Lissa. Check out our recommended builds for Winter Lissa!

Winter Lissa Weaknesses

Armored movement!

Winter Lissa enjoys the high stats of an armored unit, but this means that she suffers from armored movement as well. Without the use of proper Sacred Seals like Armored Boots and skills like Armored March 3, she will be crippled by very limited movement. It will be most likely that the enemy will get to her first before she is able to initiate. If that is the case, she will be unable to trigger Bold Fighter 3 if you choose to inherit that skill onto her.

Weak to Armor Effective Weapons

Winter Lissa takes 1.5x damage from armor-effective weapons like Armorslayer+ or Hammer+, 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!
