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/-Def

The best IVs for Hostile Springs Sakura are +Spd and -Def. A higher Spd stat allows Hostile Springs Sakura to prevent follow-up attacks against her increasing her survivability. This is great for her team because Sakura's presence in the map is very important. Her low Def is of less importance, so it is safe to take Def as a bane.

Hostile Springs Sakura Strengths

A Flying Unit that can Support Allies Easily

Hostile Springs Sakura is a flying unit, which makes it very easy to position her in ways that allow her to support her allies. The ability to position herself in most terrain makes it easy for her to heal allies or attack enemies with a Grandscratcher+ & Wrathful Staff 3 Combo.

Reduce allies' special cooldown

Grandscratcher+ reduces the special cooldown count by 1 of the ally with highest Atk at the start of turn 1. This give a lot of momentum in a map and allows you to potentially take out apriority target from the very start!

If you have allies tied with the highest Atk, all of their special cooldown counters will be reduced. This is quite hard to execute even with identical units because of IVs. However, this would give you a huge power boost in maps if your are able to pull it off! Make use of skills like Fortress Res 3 and Sacred Seals like Attack +3 to try and equalize units Atk stat!

Hostile Springs Sakura Weaknesses

Weak to bows

As a flying unit, Hostile Springs Sakura takes 1.5x damage from bows and weapons effective on flying units. Be sure to keep them out of the range of archers and leave them to other units.
