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.

Neutral IVs by default!

As a hero obtainable only through Grand Hero Battle, Fallen Takumi will always have neutral IVs by default. The only way to access IVs for this unit is through using Trait Fruits.

+Spd/-Def

The best IVs for Fallen Takumi are +Spd and -Def. A higher Spd stat allows Fallen Takumi to get a ton of follow-up attacks on his foes. It also protects him from hostile follow-up attacks. His Def is of less importance and thus safe to be taken as a bane.

+Spd for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Spd IV when merging Fallen Takumi to 10. This is for the same reasons as above. With this IV, he can reach 44 Spd, if you include the bonus of Skadi, which is at a range wherein he can score lots of follow-up attacks if he has ample support from allies.

Fallen Takumi Best Weapon Refine

Effect of Fallen Takumi's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
Skadi	SP: 400
Might: 14　Range: 2　HP: Effective against flying foes. Grants Spd +3. At the start of turns 2 and 3, deals 7 damage to foes within 3 columns centered on unit and inflicts 【Panic】on those foes. At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Atk/Spd+5 to unit during combat, and also after combat, if unit attacked, deals 7 damage to target and foes within 2 spaces of target. ：500　：200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Skadi

Skadi's refine gives Fallen Takumi Atk/Spd+5 if his HP is ≥ 25%. He'll also deal 7 damage to enemy units within 3 columns centered on him on turns 2 and 3. He'll deal the same amount of damage to his target and their allies within 2 spaces if he attacked.

We recommend getting this refine because this allows Fallen Takumi to quickly take out units because of the chip damage he deals not only on the start of turn 2 and 3, but also when he attacks.

Fallen Takumi Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Fallen Takumi Roles

Takumi - Empty Vessel 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

Fallen 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.

Fallen Takumi Strengths

Large chip damage!

At the start of turn 2 and 3, Fallen Takumi's Skadi will unleash 7 damage on all foes within 3 columns centered on him. It will also convert all bonuses into penalties until their next action. This is a very powerful effect that not only chips off a nice chunk of HP, but it also weakens them allowing Fallen Takumi and his allies to swoop in and finish the job!

Skadi's refine will also grant Fallen Takumi Atk/Spd+5 and will deal 7 damage to his target and their allies within spaces after combat.

Paired with the effects from the start of turn, Fallen Takumi can deal 14 free damage to enemy units.

All-Stat Buff from Fury

Fallen Takumi's native A skill is Fury 3 which grants him +3 to all stats, but inflicts -6 HP every time he exits combat. A good statline allows him to be deadly in both phases, but make sure to pair him up with healers to make up for the after-combat damage. Reyson or Leanne makes a great support unit for Fallen Takumi as they are both dancers that provide passive healing. If you prefer, you can also integrate skills such as Vantage 3 or Brazen skills to take advantage of tis HP side-effect.

Inflicts a penalty on the foe's Spd

The C Skill Spd Smoke will cast a Spd penalty on nearby foes after combat. This will allow Fallen Takumi to take out a foe while lowering the Spd nearby foe, allowing another ally to swoop in and finish that foe off. Fallen Takumi will also be able to take advantage of said debuff if a refresher-assist ally is nearby.

Fallen Takumi Weaknesses

Fragile Unit

Fallen Takumi's Def and Res are rather low, and while he can deal free damage at the start of Turns 2 and 3, he can easily be taken out by a high power unit that initiates on him.

Be sure to put him out of range of enemy units and only use him to combat during the player phase!
