Enables unit to counterattack regardless of distance to attacker. |

Stat | Superboon/Superbane | IV Recommendation |
---|---|---|
HP (16) | ★★★☆☆ | |
Atk (19) | ★★★★☆ | |
Spd (4) | ★☆☆☆☆ | |
Def (6) | ★★★★★ | |
Res (3) | ★☆☆☆☆ |
◯ = Stat gains +4 with a superboon, ✕= Stat goes down by -4 with a superbane, - = No assets or flaws
See the IV Checker for All Units | 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.
The best IVs for Xander are +Def and -Res. A +Def IV helps him improve his role as a threat to physical units in the enemy phase. His Res is of less importance and its very low so it is safe to take as a bane.

This build is very close to Xander's base kit. We simply add Even Def Wave 3 in the Seal slot, and Glimmer in the Special slot. Think of him as a refresher-support in the player phase, and physical check in the enemy phase. Though he can land some debuffs in the player phase, too! Especially on cavalry foes which Dusk Uchiwa+ is strong against.

Note: Stats bonuses from skills are not taken into account.
Hoshidan Summer Xander is a ranged physical attacker (range = 2). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage he deals will be equivalent to his Atk minus the foe's Def stat.
Dance is an assist skill that allows the target ally to take another action. Because of this, your allies can move and attack twice to take down foes, or attack and move back to the safe zone so that they won't be taken out during the enemy phase. It has high strategic value and it allows Hoshidan Summer Xander to become a part of many team compositions.
Dusk Uchiwa+ deals bonus damage against cavalry units. It also disables skills that change attack priority. This makes Xander a possible counter to units like Lewyn, as he relies on the effects of Forseti, which changes attack priority, to effectively take foes down.
On top of all those, it also possesses the generic ability of daggers to debuff enemies. In the case of this weapon, it applies -7 Def/Res to target unit and all foes within 2 spaces of it.
Xander's A skill Close Counter means that he can counterattack foes from any range. Since this means he can counterattack close range foes, he does not have to worry about range when defending from an enemy attack. This is also quite a rare skill so it makes Xander a valuable unit. Its value in relation to Xander's kit is discussed below!
Xander has access to Quick Riposte 3 which means as long as he is at 70% HP or above, he will score a follow-up attack when attacked in the enemy phase. Combined with Close Counter, he makes for a solid unit in the enemy phase especially against physical units.
One tactic to use with Xander is to bait enemies into acting him in the enemy phase to activate the debuffs of Dusk Uchiwa+. You can then exploit the weakened defenses in the next player phase. Both Xander and his allies can exploit these said debuffs so attack away!
Xander's Res only sits at 20 at Lv.40. This makes it easy for magic users to take him out. Be mindful of Xander's positioning in relation to magical units that can easily take him out.

Dance! Time to celebrate! You lack passion! The festival begins! |
Lv 40 5★ Dialogue become available when a hero attains Lv. 40 at 5★ rarity.
Many chronicles of the past describe the history of humankind as one of war. Given my experience, the sentiment rings true to me. But could it be that we exist solely to fight and kill one another? I do not believe so. Sometimes we can come together in celebration, link hands, and step forward into the future. All the proof I need is in the smiling faces of the people joining in the summer festival’s celebrations. In their eyes, borders and nations do not exist. Here, there is no division between Hoshido and Nohr. The festival brings people together, uniting us as one... I pray that peace like this can endure forever. |
