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/-Res

Azura's best IVs are +Spd and -Res. Having an increased Spd will increase her survivability by making her less susceptible to follow-up attacks, allowing her to continue supporting her allies. To maintain a balance in her defensive stats, a -Res stat is ideal.

New Year Azura Best Builds

Emerald New Year Azura

HOT
： Emerald Axe+ ： Sing ： Glimmer ： -	： Distant Counter ： Wings of Mercy 3 ： Guidance 3 ： Iote's Shield ： -

How to Use, Explanation

This is a skillset made for battling at a class advantage, and increasing that power. By giving her the skill Emerald Axe, you can completely leave it to Azura to take out powerful blue mages like Reinhardt. Distant Counter is the ideal Passive A slot, but if you do not have the source hero for this investment, stat boosting skills like Fury 3 or Speed+3 are some other options.

Budget New Year Azura

： Hagoita+ ： Sing ： Moonbow ： -

： Triangle Adept 3 ： Earth Dance 3 ： Drive Def 2 ： Guidance 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

This skillset aims to use as little skill inheritance as possible. Azura can inherit Drive Def 2 to increase Hagoita+’s effects and grant Def+5 to allies within 2 spaces. Furthermore, equipping Earth Dance will enhance this Def buff to +10 after using Sing on her allies. Giving her Triangle Adept will allow her to become the party’s designated blue unit slayer.

New Year Azura Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

New Year Azura Roles

Azura - Celebratory Spirit 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

New Year's Azura 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. In addition, she has an assist skill that can gratn additional movement to allies who have completed their turn.

New Year's Azura's Strengths

A flying hero with a refresher assist!

Azura is one of the few flying units with a sing/dance assist. Flying units can travel through forests and over water, making her an even more useful support unit than an infantry Azura.

Grants a defense buff to allies when using Sing

Her default B skill Earth Dance gives Def+5 to allies when she grants them additional movement. This will stack on top of buffs that are only active in battle, meaning that it will work together with the effect of her weapon Haoita+, and her allies will gain a total of Def+7 when attacking within two spaces of her.

Increases the firepower of allied fliers

With her flying-exclusive C skill Hone Fliers, Azura can grant Atk/Spd+6 to allied fliers. This makes using her in an all-flying party very easy to take advantage of.

New Year's Azura's Weaknesses

Weak to bows

As a flying unit, Azura will take heavy damage from bows and other skills that are effective on flying units. Make sure you keep her out of the range of any bow wielding units.

New Year Azura as a Source Hero

Value of Skills	★★★★☆

Inherit Hone Fliers

New Year's Azura can be used to inherit Hone Fliers. However, as she is a very useful flying unit with a refresher skill, we recommend you at least keep one Azura and raise her before foddering any duplicates off.
