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 New Year Takumi are +Spd and -Def. A higher Spd stat allows Takumi to prevent follow-up attacks against him and helps him make follow-up attacks on his own. This boosts both his offensive and survivability capabilities. His low Def is of less importance, so it is safe to take Def as a bane.

New Year Takumi Best Builds

Anti Infantry New Year Takumi

HOT
： Poison Dagger+ ： Draw Back ： Moonbow ： -	： Life and Death 4 ： Watersweep 3 ： Joint Drive Atk ： Life and Death 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

With Poison Dagger+, Takumi gains effective damage against infantry foes. This means that he can one-shot lots of infantry foes with out the need for a follow-up attack. If they aren't taken out by one hit, refresher units can help him secure the kill. Watersweep or Windsweep is vital when running this build as it protects him from counterattacks if he doesn't take his enemy out in one battle instance.

Desperate Fury New Year Takumi

： Kagami Mochi+ ： Reciprocal Aid ： Moonbow ： -

： Fury 4 ： Desperation 3 ： Joint Drive Spd ： Blade Session 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

The purpose of this build is for Takumi to land Moonbow everytime he initiates. Since Kagami Mochi+ already reduces Moonbow's cooldown to 1, he only needs to attack once for Moonbow to be available. Since Fury 4 easily puts him to Desperation range, he will land Moonbow as long as he scores a follow-up attack.

New Year Takumi Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

New Year Takumi Roles

Takumi - Prince of Soup 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 Takumi 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.

New Year Takumi Strengths

Kagami Mochi+ is the first dagger with a 'Slaying' effect

Kagami Mochi+ possesses the standard effect of dagger weapons inflicting debuffs after combat. In the case of Kagami Mochi+, it inflicts -7 Def/Res on target unit and all foes within 2 spaces of target. It also accelerates Takumi's special trigger by 1 counter. This means that Moonbow will only have a cooldown of 1. This allows for consistent special activations that greatly increase Takumi's damage.

Bowbreaker gives him an edge against bow units

Setsuna is a fierce opponent against bow-wielding units, thanks to his passive skill Bowbreaker 3. Being able to take on bow units, who are very high in number in this game, is a huge advantage for him.

As long as he is at least 50% HP, he makes a guaranteed follow-up attack and bow units cannot score a follow-up attack against him.

Atk/Res Bond Increases Offensive Power

Atk/Res Bond 3 increases New Year Takumi's Atk and Res by +5 if he is adjacent to an ally. Since it is an in-combat buff, it stacks with other combat buffs, so it is good to pair with units that have skills like Atk Tactic 3 or Spur Def 3. Additionally, it does not make him susceptible to the effects of Panic Ploy 3 and Chill Atk 3.

This skill improves upon New Year Takumi's decent Res stat allowing him to be a good match-up against many magic units.

New Year Takumi Weaknesses

Weak against physical attacks

New Year Takumi's Def is only 17 at Lv. 40. This makes him very weak in taking physical attacks. However, he does have a good Spd stat of 34. Be wary of Brave weapons though! As they can still nail 2 hits on Takumi regardless of Spd.
