Summer Linde Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (16)		★★☆☆☆
Atk (20)		★★★★☆
Spd (9)		★★★★★
Def (3)		★★★☆☆
Res (7)		★★☆☆☆

◯ = Stat gains +4 with a superboon, ✕= Stat goes down by -4 with a superbane, - = No assets or flaws

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

The best IVs for Summer Linde are +Spd and -Res. A higher Spd stat helps Summer Linde in scoring follow-up attacks and in avoiding said attacks from enemy units. With her low defensive stats, no bane would be best, but a -Res IV will make her Def and Res a bit more balanced.

Summer Linde Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Summer Linde Roles

Linde - Summer Rays 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

Summer Linde is a ranged magic attacker (range = 2). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage she deals will be equivalent to her Atk minus the foe's Res stat.

Summer Linde Strengths

Built in Desperation effect in her weapon

Summer Linde's weapon, Starfish+, has the effect of Desperation 3 built-in. It allows Linde to do a follow-up attack before the enemy counterattacks if her HP has dropped below 75% HP. If Linde's damage is high enough, this allows her to easily take out enemies without taking damage.

Additionally, it inflicts -7 Def/Res to foes after combat as it is a dagger weapon.

Gets a huge bonus to Atk and Res

Summer Linde's A skill Brazen Atk/Res 3 will give her Atk/Res+7 in combat when her HP gets below 80%. This wil make it easier for her to damage enemies and further increase her high Res stat, allowing her to safely combat magic attackers. This synergizes well with the built-in desperation effect that her weapon possesses allowing her to be a lethal attacker when she is at a specific amount of HP.

Summer Linde Weaknesses

Low Defenses

Summer Linde's Def and Res sit at only 16 and 26 respectively. This makes her extremely fragile. We recommend making sure that after she applies debuffs, an ally is nearby and ready to finish off the debuffed enemy so that she would not get attacked and taken out.

Some Terrain Restricts Movement

Because she is a cavalry unit, Summer Linde cannot pass some terrain such as trees. This is disadvantageous in modes such as Arena and Aether Raids as she might be funneled into very compromising positions lead to her getting knocked out. Survey your terrain and plan accordingly!

Weak to Cavalry Effective Weapons

Summer Linde takes 1.5x damage from cavalry-effective weapons like Ridersbane, and one blow from this type of weapon is sure to take him/her down. Make sure you know what weapons you are up against before hopping too far into the line of battle!
